    What do you find is the best Bluetooth device to connect to the phone. I’m in the UK and use a Parrot hard wired system that connects though the door speakers but I have difficulties hearing some callers,I notice that some of you use a headset which looks quite cumbersome. I have also tried using a cheap radio with Bluetooth with not too much success,perhaps spending more might help.

    I use a small headset.

    Hardly what I'd call cumbersome.

    Blue Parrot has 94% noise reduction.

    To answer the OP, I use a little in ear design instead of over the ear design.. mine are Apple, and I’m very happy, but there are other options.

    Oh Sure... there’s always a better mousetrap... I guess that design would be reusable... so I guess that would be a preferred option.
