That’s right. I’m going to try to start a revolutionary comeback for the homeboy Snow.

After all – he deserves it!

Chorus
Informer, you no say daddy me snow me Ill go blame,
A licky boom boom down.

A licky boom boom down.

Police them come an now they blow down me door,
One him come crawl through, through my window,
So then they put me in the back the car at the station,
From that point on me reach my destination,
When the destination reached, it was the east detention, where them
Whipped down me pants, looked up me bottom, so

Chorus

What Im gonna do,
Im backed an Im trapped,
Slap me in the face an took all o my gap.
They have no clues an they wanna get warmer,
But shan wont turn informer!

Chorus

So, yesterday I tried out a coworkers Motorola H500 headset. Pretty clear. Somewhat comfortable. But it was floppy on my face. It wasn’t the type of headset that stays in place when it’s on. So despite how good it was, I want something that won’t annoy me. I would give this one an 8/10.

After work, I headed over to the store and returned the two most recent purchases, and decided that I would try the Plantronics Explorer 350. Pretty good price (Under $100CAD after taxes). Lightweight, and came with two chargers – 1 for the home and 1 for the car. I charged it up, and put it on. At first I thought that it was comfortable. It stayed in place, unlike some of the others I tested. After about 5 minutes, the piece that goes in the ear started to annoy me. That part is rubberized, and seems to be ‘molded’, but there’s a part of it that was inside my ear pressing outwards. Not sure if that makes sense, but it was a weird feeling. I took it off and tried it again an hour later, but the same irritation occurred.

As for audio quality – I would say it was pretty good. Clear. No noticeable background humming. All in all, I would give this one a 7/10 – would have scored higher (8 or 8.5) because of the car charger, but the irritation dropped it down to a 7.

Guess we’ll see where this story goes over the next couple of days.

Ya, I gave the Jabra JX-10 back. Totally sucks, because I thought that it would be amazing. I give this one a 6.5/10 compared to my old-school Logitech being an 8.5.

After work, I headed to a friends house to try out his Sony Ericsson headset – HBH-PV700. Nice size. Average to lighter-side of the weight. Not as compact as the others. Fits well on the ear, once you play around with it for about 30 seconds. Guess what? Still static! When I passed the headset back to him, he said “Ya, it sounds like that on my phone too”. What gives? Still continuing onwards…

This time I decided that I would try another Logitech brand headset, because I figured that since the first one was so great, maybe the next would be good too. Having said that, I want to cut down the number of trips that I do to the store, so I also picked up the Motorola H670. It was on sale, so I figured why not get 2! I was able to pick-up both of these for less than the cost of a single JX-10 after I got the discounted price. Amazing.

I got home about two hours ago, and decided to give these a try. Open up the packaging, charge them up and give them a shot. At first I try the Motorola H670. Looks pretty sleek, comes with 3 different ear loops to use. I pair it with my phone – very easy to do thanks to their simple pairing technology. That means that it took about 5 seconds vs. 8 seconds. LOL

Pop it on my ear, and notice that it feels a bit floppy. I change around the ear loops and find one that fits the best – although I’m not completely thrilled about it as it’s still flopping around a bit. I start to make a few calls. Not too bad.. pretty decent quality on my end. There is a bit of static that I hear, but not even close to as bad as the others. So far, this is the top contender. That is until I ask the person I’m talking to how I sound. I sounded choppy, quiet, and a bit staticy. NOOO! I really wanted this one to work. I got it for a great price – $67 CAD. This one gets a 7.5/10 rating.

Now time to try out the Logitech Mobile Express. Good size, fits well, and has a lot more static. I make a couple of calls, and the people tell me that it sounds like I’m on speakerphone, but that the volume and clarity are pretty good. The audio is a bit choppy for me, and staticy. This one gets a 4/10 rating. How can a company that made one so well, make one that fails?

Back to the store I go. The customer service reps are going to know me as the guy who buys everything and returns it. I really don’t mean to do that. All I’m asking for is a headset that’s clear, no static (as long as the phone is within 5-10 ft. range – dare I attempt the 33ft./10m range that Bluetooth 1.2 claims it can handle??), and fits/feels good.

Back to the store I go…

another day that is… they’re closed now….

Ok.. so I took back the H700. What a shame… because I got it for a great price $46 CAD + tax!

I picked up the Jabra JX-10. This is supposed to be one of the most superior headsets on the market. I put it on and it was so tiny and light, and fit amazingly. For the price tag of $199 CAD (I got it for $126), you would think that it would have blown the old Logitech one that I had out of the water. Well… guess what? There was a slight hiss in the background. I would be able to live with that, because when you’re talking to someone you don’t hear it. You also don’t hear the hiss when the headset isn’t active. Also, there was static. I must say, it was MUCH better than the Motorola H700, but when I moved the phone from the right-side of my body, to the left, the static increased. Line of sight to the headset (within inches of the phone – Samsung SPH-A900) had static as well.

Time for this bad boy to be returned too. Maybe I’ll give it a bit longer to test it out.

Ok, so this morning I bought the Motorola H700. It’s a cute little headset that fits very well and is light. I charged it up, and started to use it. Immediately I noticed that there was quite a bit of static with my phone (the Samsung SPH-A900 w/ Bell on their CDMA network).

I thought maybe it was my phone, so I paired it with my Macbook Pro, and the same thing. It was just too annoying to live with. I thought this headset was supposed to be outstanding with clarity, but I guess my old-school Logitech one is better. A shame that it doesn’t fit this nicely.

This one is going back… onward with the hunt!

Well, my bluetooth headset (the Logitech Mobile Freedom) that I bought about 2 years ago is starting to annoy me, now that I’m using it so frequently. It’s just not that comfortable.

I’m going to start looking for a new one…
