I'm looking to get a new bluetooth earpiece and I was wondering what u guys are using.

I want all the goodies and dont care too much about price.

I like the Blueant T1. It isn't cheap, but compared to other earpieces with similar features it is quite reasonable. The Q2 looks nice too, but is a little too "smart" for my tastes.

I swear I'm not trying to shill for Sammy but their WEP200 is well-made, tough, simple, small and good. And cheap. Only drawback is that you may have a bit of a struggle getting a good fit, but there are separate ear gels that help, like the one variety pack I bought at Best Buy last night made by Jawbone. I've been using this same WEP200 for going on 5 years, and never wanted another.

The Blueant T1 has worked great for me. You can find it on-line for about 49.00 and Best Buy runs them on sale sometimes. It will speak text and play Music.

Was originally looking at an earset but glad I found out about and bought a Blueant S4 speakerphone instead since it's mainly for driving. Anxiously waiting for Froyo on Epic so it can support hands-free voice dialing.

I'd go with either the Icon or the Motorola Finiti. Hopefully once 2.2 rolls around we'll get the same features, but on my Evo my Finiti would read all SMS and was amazing at voice commands and responses.

I've got a Blueant Q2 coming soon. I had a Z9 and Z9i before that. Anything Blueant is good. Some of the Z9s or Z9is can be had for $20 if you find a sale.

Plantronics Voyager 855 Stereo Bluetooth Headset

or the one I have which is

Samsung HM3500, which is also stereo with included earbuds adapter.

Excellent products. Look them up. Both are A2DP of course. I use the HM3500 with my Vizio TV all the time.

Voyager Pro +

It works great, sounds great, supports A2DP so I can listen to my media through the earpiece (ie, music, youtube, podcasts, etc.) and it's comfortable.

Plantronics Discovery 975 Connects super fast to the epic!!!

It always reconnects when I separate the two devices, unlike others when they separate, the earpiece turns off.
So you have to turn it back on, for it to pair again.
Very light weight, super comfortable,good battery life and the portable charger/pouch comes in handy;)

And as far as wind it filters it out pretty good. Noticeably better than the jawbone 2

It sounds good but in my opinion you look like a cyborg with the thing on and gets a little uncomfortable when you where sunglasses.

Plantronics Voyager Pro hands down.

Its comfortable and has active noise cancellation. Everyone that I've talked to absolutely loves their's.

Sound quality on the Jawbones is supposed to be good as well, but I don't see how they could be comfortable.

i've used plantronics backbeat for just over a year. i have a gigantic head, wear glasses/sunglasses, and my ears off uneven (yeah, i know, i'm the picture of beauty!) and the headset fits and is comfortable (sometimes i forget i'm wearing it, thus looking like a douche who walks around with his bluetooth on at all times, trying to look important).

the sound is GREAT. i'm a music snob, and i'm pleased with the sound.

the problem:

it worked great on my old blackberries, but has been pure poo-poo on my epic ever since rooting and installing custom roms. it usually pairs, sometimes connects, mostly disconnects randomly, and most of the controls don't work. and when they do work, they work for every possible app (so i can't just start and stop music. nooooo, pressing play on the headset starts music, radio, video, and podcasts.) i'm HOPING that the official 2.2 will fix this, but if it doesn't, i will be officially reclassifying this headset as utter garbage. it would be a pity too- because i REALLY love it when it works.
