As of January 1st, you can't use cell phones while driving without a headset of some sort.

Any recommendations?

I'm thinking about an Aliph Jawbone 2...

thanks in advance!

I like my Plantronics Voyager 510

Little bulky, but gets the job done, nice battery life and nice range as well.

Jawbone is one of the best bluetooths I've used :-)

The Jawbone seems to be one of those love it or hate it products. I've been pretty happy with my Cardo Scala 700 (also used the 500 for a while before my wife's dog used it for a chewtoy).

Love my Jabra JX10 ...

Its so light weight I dont even need to use the ear hook.. and the sound quality is excellent for both sides of the conversation.

I would have to say the jawbone. I have had 2 of them and loved them both. Good battery life, excellent sound quality. It is also comfortable to wear for long periods of time. One suggestion, use the loop that comes with it, it will make it more comfortable to wear and i use the gel piece with the small loop on the side, it seems to hold better in my ear.
The only drawback I have found is the other buttons. There are supposed to be some, I can't find them. lol
All in all, a bit more expensive than others, but well worth the money.

:-) I use a Plantronics Voyager 520. Battery life and range are awesome too.

I kind of depends what you want to use it for -- for just phone conversations the Jawbone is good. I use my headset to listen to the radio, music, podcasts, etc., so I got a stereo headset -- Motorola S9-HD:

and I love it! There are controls on the left side for starting/stopping a call and changing the volume. On the right you can start/stop/select music.

The Plantronics Voyager 510 was the best headset I ever owned. Great battery life. Great Volume and people could hear me ! I went threw two of them in about 5 years.

I replaced it with the Plantronics Voyager Pro. It's every bit as good and a little better looking.

Okay - now that everyone else is done joking around - :-)

I've have been through a ton of headsets in my quest for the best one out there - and this is it: The BlueAnt Q1

Some of the highlights:

You simply talk to it to tell it what you want, e.g. answer, ignore, pair mode, hang up, check battery on phone and headset etc etc. And it of course talks to you.
You can pair it with up to 8 devices and talk on two different phones at the same time. Great for me as I carry a company phone and a personal phone. I also have it paired with my netbook - good for when people are around or using Skype, etc.
It can be updated via the computer. Recently they released an update so now I can listen to music from my phone. Handy for when you are stuck some place a want some tunes playing or to watch a video.
Comes with everything needed to charge in the house, car or by computer.

The thing is very lightweight and comfortable. Volume is excellent. I work around noise all day so purchased some Comply Phone Tips for it - but most would not need them.

Has a two year warranty. I have had several BlueAnt products so have called the Tech Support a few times. Always got a live person who was able to help the very first time. That's a big plus in my book.

I've got a BlueAnt Z9i, It's got great noise cancellation, supposedly on par with the Jawbone.

D'oh! I hope that is not the case for me as I just won the auction on eBay:

i hope you have better luck with it

I've used both of these as well. They are great headsets. The new Pro is really comfortable and has great noise cancellation. The biggest plus to these sets are their ability in the wind. You can use these anywhere.
