BlueTooth suggestions
I bought a android phone and a bluetooth ear piece (for driving)
The bluetooth is a Samsung HM1100.
I told the saleperson that I wanted a simple use bluetooth but clarity was important and they suggested this model.
when I paired the two, the clarity was not there. muffled sound and when driving down the road....road noise made it difficult to hear with the volume on max.
anyone have a simple design bluetooth with audio clarity?
Model and experiences please?
thanks in advance

I've had a Jabra BT 5010 for about 4 years I think; it works great. Very clear and easy to use. When a call comes in, you just swipe the mic piece forward and talk. To hang up, you just swipe the mic piece back. The battery seems to last at least a month with regular use and charges in a couple of hours. I can hear a call with it better than with the phone, especially if in a noisy area.

This one... Jawbone ERA Bluetooth Headset | NoiseAssassin, HD Audio, Motion, Apps ...
is supposed to be the very best and I intend to get one very soon.
Hope this helps.
Be safe.

I've been through this bluetooth thing myself. Jabra, Jawbone are pricey but they work. Ebay has cheap prices but 90% are ripoff copies. Pay the price and buy from a major chain store. If it's primarily for driving try a speakerphone (not in the ear, external speaker) or a GPS with speaker / mike incorporated.

the best thing for a bluetooth is baking soda and peroxide, and brush vigorously
sorry, i couldn't resist
actually i don't know anything about those contraptions but i do wonder how they come up with some of the names for them.

Jabra BT2010 is the one I use, no problem hearing over the road noise in my truck.
