If you're looking for something small, the Backbeat FIT by Plantronics is awesome. If you want over the year, the Backbeat Pro is awesome! Don't get the Backbeat GO 2. They are horrible...

I have the Backbeat Pro - don't like it. Battery life is retarded and none of the rubber ear cups fit, which means they fall out of my ears all the time.

@JaredBusch - as for dealing with listening to music in only one ear; It's a trade off. I get to listen to music or talk on the phone, and ignore,.. err I mean still hear the person across the room.

Just to confirm, we're talking about these, right?

I think you might be thinking of the Backbeat GO 2.

Backbeat Go - Sorry

Yeah, those are horrible. Never use those.

What type of headset is this? It may need a firmware update:

Once you do that, you'll want to rebuild the bluetooth stack. Remove the device from your phone, power off, power back on, re-pair the bluetooth. That will rebuild the bluetooth stack and is best practice after updating firmware. (I spend A LOT of time on PLT's forums).

Also, I don't recommend the M series. They are the stupid cousin of the Voyager series.

Sadly my BT isn't any of those. It's the M55 - Just a simple unit.

Oh, I'm sorry...

A big influence for me was my mom being a pro-level polka accordion player. She played the accordion all throughout my childhood. My home was always filled with accordion music.

She was a major influence musically and in many other ways to me too when I was growing up.

And I'd be remiss if I didn't at least say...go Federer!

Glad to hear that.

This has to go down as a classic.

@ajstringham which is your favorite out of linkin park and 30 seconds to mars?

I have to say 30 Seconds to Mars. I LOVE Linkin Park but their songs don't have the same level of depth as the other...

Minor intonation errors, but overall good performance.
