Bluetooth headset for iPhone
Discussion
I am looking to purchase a Bluetooth headset for my iPhone, never bought one before so I have no idea whether the £15 ones do the job as well as the £40 ones.
Anyone got any specific recommends / avoids? Budget up to £50 probably. Needs to have decent range, rather than focus on battery life - can be charged daily.
TIA!

Depends on how they're used, but most standard bluetooth headsets (mono, single ear, for calls) can last quite a long time on a charge.
I've tended to use Motos - HS810 (son broke the swivel), HS820 and I've had a HS850 for the last year. Battery life is pretty good - I only have it on whilst driving, and it easily goes for a couple of weeks before recharging. If I used it as designed, then it could last even longer (ie. not connected all the time, just flip it open to connect to the phone and answer the call).
There's a lot out there, the more expensive ones may be more comfortable and have slightly better battery life, but thats about it.

Just bought a Jawbone from the Apple shop, it's a good unit and has very good reception. I've had loads of bluetooth things because I'm always losing them at work and this is the first one that gives full reception everywhere in the house. This means I can just leave the phone in the bedroom and still take calls anywhere else. All my previous ones sounded crap once I moved about 10 yards from the phone.
Pricey though.
