Has anyone used the Voyager Pro, BH-904, and Jawbone Icon?
The 1st two have similar qualities I know, but I also like qualities of the Icon.
Can anyone speak from experience having used at least two of these?

My thread....
Which of these is the best monoaural BT headset?

I have a set of BH-905 and they won't work correctly with Maemo (and some android devices) If whilst listening to music I receive a call, when I end the call or the other end hangs up, rather than jumping back in to the music player the head phones actually hard lock up..

You have to press three buttons at the same time for 10 seconds or so to reset the head phones..

It appears to be a bug in the headphones. They appear to be sensative to linux bluetooth stuff.. this might be a bug in linux bluetooth... but a) seriously? and b) the headphones shouldn't crash when dealing with a bugging bluetooth implementation..

So... they're wildly expensive, the buttons are not supported on the N900 when using cabled mode (the 905 can be wired or bluetooth!) and they hard lock up when calls end..

Other users report the same problem and the common solution is "reboot the headphones"... not really a solution in my books, but there you go

very disappointed as on paper, the BH-905 / N900 should be awesome..

(they work really well with Symbian phones though.. designed for symbian rather than designed for bluetooth I suspect)

It's well documented why corded don't work well with n900, BT is a different story in most instances.
But what does this have to do with recommending BT headsets? Are you warning users about the 905?

yes, I would warn an N900 user away from using BH-905s.. There are problem using them wired (the button issue that as you've said is well documented) and wirelessly (they lock up)

With other Nokia handsets, however.. they're pretty good.
