Bluetooth Headsets - what's the rage these days?

Well I lost my bluetooth (Plantronics 510) and now I need a new one. I don't want to be spending $100 on something silly that I may eventually lose again so what do people recommend for a basic unit that I'll be using in my car? I haven't shopped for these things in a long time so I don't know what's good and what's garbage.

Will $40 or so get me something?

    I feel I'm a bit of an expert in this area as I spent the last two weeks trying out different headsets trying to find the perfect one. I settled on the BlueAnt V1... but it was 71.99 at the time. Don't know why the price jumped.

    But if you're going to be using it for your car, and your car only then I'd suggest this hands free set as it's cheap and has better audio clarity then most or all headsets.

    In the end if you're set on getting an ear peice but don't wanna get the blueant since it's pretty expensive at the moment, the PLANTRONICS Discovery 925 is pretty ok.

    All devices were tested when paired to my storm, so YMMV.

    Hope that was helpful!

    Arrath:The best way to describe it is like playing Rock-Paper-Scissors with somebody. Only you have to go first. And then the other player gets to make their move based on what you did.

    I got a plantronics explorer 233 for 30$ at walmart for use with my ps3 and it works fine. A little bit hard on the ear after an hour or so, but other than that I am happy with it.

    oh man 30 bucks?
    I need a PS3 headset and can't find a cheap one. I wonder if I can get one of those in canada... (which is the problem)
