Default Bluetooth Headsets

Does anyone have a recommendation for a cell phone bluetooth headset they are crazy about? I have been looking at Plantronics, Jawbone, Bose, etc.

My girlfriend has had quite a few different headsets and she's been very satisfied with her Jawbone. It seems to be the most reliable, well built headset she's owned. In fact, 9/10 of the people I know who use Bluetooth headsets own Jawbones. They have nothing but positive statements about the them.

I've been looking around for a replacement as well!
So far jawbone looks best. I am curious about the Bose though, do they have some kind of noise cancelation technology built in?

BT headsets are mostly about style & avoiding the "Star Trek" look. I recommend your priority be battery run time, ease of charging, the potential of getting lost or stolen, looks, phone integration, & sound - in that order

That said, I've used the 19.99 Best Buy Jabra for about 2 years. It's small, black, doesn't flash, USB charged, & my iPhone is easily controlled by its multi touch commands.

I can't speak to the others, but I had a Plantronics that did not last long at all. It's problem was in charging and finally would not take a charge at all. I think that it died between 6 - 9 months! So far I haven't found a single one that I like and I think they're all ugly. However, I to am interested in getting another one since I'm using my iPhone as my cycling computer and would like to have access to the phone at the same time.
