OK, decided to get new phones for the wife and I. They're going to be bluetooth, and which one to get is being covered in other threads.

However, I'm looking for advice on which headset to get. Any opinions on what's out there.

Do any work directly with the powerbooks as well, or which are most likely to get drivers produced.

Any opinions on which is most comfortable/lightest etc.

Cheers,

J.

They don't work with Macs yet. Apparently this is a feature in Panther (available in WindowsXP).

You don't have to worry about drivers as they all adhere to the "BT1.1 headset profile" spec.

I like SonyEricsson headsets.
