Hands Free Headset (nonBT) recommendations?

[WebFeat]

Just got a Droid... had an LG Voyager before and liked how I could use a hands-free headset.

The Droid uses a 3.5mm plug where the Voyager used the more standard 2.5mm. plug.

Now I'm having a hard time finding a headset that will work... just went to Staples and picked up a GE headset w/3.5mm. plug... but I get nothing in the earpiece... the boom does pickup my voice, however.

I don't want to use Bluetooth since it's pretty much like putting a microwave up to your head... anyone know of a good hands free headset with 3.5mm plug that will work?

Thanks,
Ant

what is your price range? For highend goto Shure. Their corded units - the great ones - are in the 150.00 and up range. I have one and the sound is superior. The mute controller button is a bit large however.

Enter your location. Works well reasonable price.

Tin foil hat?

0.02Watt (bluetooth) versus 700Watt (microwave)?

I'd be more concerned with the phone in your pocket near ones crotch.

Poke around in the ham radio/FRS radio market. A lot of them use a combo headset/mic configuration in the 3.5mm standard. Maybe radio-shack or somewhere that sells those 14channel FRS radios?

I just picked up a pair of moto rokr e20 (in-ear buds) from fry's a couple days ago for 20 bucks. It has decent sound and the button on the mic will pause/play your music from your droid. They also had the e25 for 20 bucks that came in three colors, but they weren't in-ear buds, just regular earbuds.

Check out ultimate ears....wonderful company. They replaced a faulty set of headhones with a handsfree wired headset for my Droid for free..the new ones cost almost twice as much....and with free shipping to boot. I believe they were the metrofi 220vi....80 bucks maybe... if they're in your price range..they are well worth it. Not sure sure how much the shure ones are since I was returning a set and wasn't looking to buy anything else.

If you want to look like Brittany Spears singing "Hit Me Baby One More Time" and be a real baller these are cool and are sold for a cheap $250 haha
