BT headset to use with glasses - Treo Forum

Wanderer · 01-20-2007, 04:49 AM

I've been searching through many forums for "the perfect" BT headset for my Treo 680 but can't find one. My main requirements are (1) comfortable to wear with glasses (2) charges either using Treo's charger or USB (3) not too expensive and (4) a display for showing incoming call numbers would be a great plus.

Any ideas? Palm's Treo Wireless would be fine, but I am afraid I just couldn't wear the earloop with glasses on. Palm's Ultralight seems great but it's on the pricey side (80 € in Palm Euro Store). Something like Sony Ericsson's HBH-200 (a wired wireless with display) would be excellent, but it requires a separate charger and apparently the battery life is dismal. I wonder how Jabra JX-10 feels with glasses (and does it come with USB-cable)?

As I have never used a BT headset before, I am also concerned about it's effect on battery life of the Treo. I would like to take all my calls using the headset so that would mean that the BT would be on whenever the phone is on, some 12 hrs a day. Any comments?

I would think the Jabra JX-10 is the closest to what you want. With regards to point 4, I'm not sure how you would see the number if you where wearing the headset

Here's Andrew's review of the black JX-10, in one of the pictures you can see a USB cable in the bag
