I bought the Jabra BT135 to work with my new Samsung SGH-T439 from T-Mobile. The telephone has many shortcomings and I would not recommend getting it. One of its major problems is proprietary earpiece/charging plug that limits the user to VERY few choices. Most "universal" earpieces will not work with this Samsung phone, and so I decided to try Bluetooth with it. Having been perfectly happy with a wired earpiece in the past and being somewhat reluctant at getting another thing I 'd have to recharge, I decided to get and try something really cheap.

I bought the Jabra BT135 refurbished for about $13 with shipping included. I've been using it for a few days now and, so far, I am very pleased with it.

PROS: Small, lightweight, nice & really clear audio both ways, comfortable enough to wear for an hour or so, inexpensive, fully recharges in 2 hours or less, good battery life, connects well to the phone and stays connected, sturdy built, range is 8-10 feet before static noises kick in.

CONS: May be somewhat hard to adjust for XL ears, the blinking LED should really be on the inside rather than outside. The blinking blue light is so intense that it will make you look back at night and check whether your car is not being followed by cops.

At the price I paid I would certainly recommend it.

============
Edit. I gave it to a friend with new LG phone and it wouldn't pair at all.

This is a fairly small and affordable bluetooth headset. I have been using this for about 2 weeks and find it very comfortable. The sound is clear on both sides. I am an active user of my phone and the charge on this headset lasts a full day for me. It re-charges pretty fast also(about 90mins.)

I also like this headset also because it just sits outside the ear canal and doesn't go into it. I have a doctor wife who tells me not to have something continuosly inside the ear.

I would recommend this headset to all my friends.

I have two of these BT135s, the sound quality is good and it is comfortable on the ear. BUT and this is a biggie, the earhooks on both units broke in the same place, where you bend the hook to fit it to the top of your ear. Not having a means to anchor the earpiece makes the unit essentially unusable. If you must buy this model, also buy extra earhooks or you will soon be buying a replacement.

I can not say how well it works, because initially I set the headset to charge and it never charged. I am sending it back. I guess i will try a Motorola brand next.
