    what’s everyone’s particular brand or preference
    I was currently looking at a plantronics voyager 5200, but have read mixed Reviews ..... are blue tiger or blue Parrot a good comparison.

    Go to Amazon and read the reviews. I have a cheapie MPOW that works pretty good, but you may want better sound quality.

    I used a set of wired Apple EarPods.... worked great for me but I’ve never used a traditional headset either.

    I found them nice and light and with both had great sound. I recently purchased a set of their airpods too so I’ll be using them too. Those are Uber light weight and so easy to recharge.... also can use one at a time and charge one while using the other.

    Also very interested in what others have to suggest or recommend.

    I use one of those tiny Plantronics ear pieces. I personally can't stand those giant blueparrot type headsets.

    Been using one of those for several years now. Had one quit on me awhile back but for the money cant beat em.
    Sound quality is great in my opinion -

    I've had the 5220...and I sent it right back to Amazon for a refund.

    It was suppose to be a upgraded version of the Legend, but in my opinion, the volume was way too low, and it was actually smaller than the Legend...so it didn't fit quite properly. Legend IMO is still one of the best bluetooth headset out there. I've had no issues with the Legend. Would've still been using it if I didn't lose it :mad:

    I use the Edge now, which I've always had and switched back and forth with the Legend. Edge's voice quality is far superior than any of the other bluetooth headsets I've had, but some people may not like the in-ear type headsets. I have no issues with it. It beats walking around with those big headsets. Even wrote it off as a tax write-off too. Same with my cell service :cool:
