E61: which bluetooth earpiece?

I've tried a few different bluetooth earpieces in the past, most recently the Nextlink Bluespoon AX2. I found the earpece terrible in terms of sound - very muffled - and friends on the other end of the line thought the sound was awful for them as well.

So what do you use? Why do I have this feeling that Nokia's just don't offer the same bluetooth quality as say a SE (I say this because the bluespoon wasn't half had on a SE)?

Thanks!

The problem with the e61 is that if you are in range of a wifi access point that is defined as an access point on your phone, you're going to get poor results from a headset. The e61's wifi interferes with bluetooth, causing major static over the headset.

If you don't have any wifi access points defined, or aren't in range of one, I've found that my Plantronics Voyager 510 works well.
 
I find my nokia bt bh900 works well with e61 even around defined access
points. I've tried other nokia bt headsets and found bh900 to have the best
sound clarity.
 
Maybe it's only when the access point is somehow in use. In my case, I use the VOIP client (or try to - it's still not great even with the latest firmware), so the access point is always connected.

For me, a bluetooth headset is nearly useless with the e61 because I can't use it for VOIP and Cell calls when both are active.
 
I am having good luck with the Nokia HS-12w, which was 'fixed' with the latest firmware. Note that I have not been using this with music on the E61, just for the telephone. Great battery life, good connectivity, low noise, etc. I'm using it for both cellular calls and VOIP calls via truphone.
