| Columns: | Sound quality | Convenience factor | Looks | Standard sound cable (when the battery is depleted OR flight mode must be activated) | Dongle? | Other remarks |
| First roundup: Jabra BT620s | Excellent, albeit the reviewer mentions that, by default, it has less bass than the BH-601 / HT820 | OK, better than the Nokia / the HT820 | OK | - | - | All in all, the reviewer prefers it to both the BH-601 and the HT820. (He also complains about the music stopping for at least half a second when he touches a button.) |
| Nokia BH-601 | Very good / excellent (according to the mobileburn article, it's definitely better ("the Nokia BH-601 has by far the best audio") than that of the HT820) | OK | OK (according to the mobileburn article, it's arguably the best-looking) | - | A PC-only USB stick; not usable as a stand-alone BT dongle and has no analogue sound input (that is, not a traditional external dongle) | Highly recommended if you want good music quality |
| Motorola HT820 | Very good / excellent; the reviewer mentions the bass' being a little bit on the excessive side | Some dislike it, some don't; the author complained about it starting to be inconvenient after an hour | According to the reviewer (""Princess Leia" comments"), Pretty bad - it adds considerable (funny / strange) bulk to the ear | + | - | Highly recommended if you need a cheap but very good headset and the looks aren't a problem |
| Second roundup: Samsung SBH100 | Poor; weak bass and almost non-existing tremble | Not very good; while it sits on the ears better than other, similar models, it's still suffering from the usual one-side problems (it feels pretty insecure on the ear etc). As it doesn't completely cover the ear, it has problems particularly in noisy environment. | OK | - | - | Poor, not recommended |
| Cellink BTST 8010D | Poor; even weaker bass than that of the Samsung headset; trembles are better, though | OK | It's the best-looking of all - very thin and elegant (this, unfortunately, is also a factor in the device's considerably weaker battery life (about 6.5 hours) and the somewhat limited Bluetooth range. | - | +; connects with a 3.5 stereo cable (no mike!); has sound volume problems: the maximal volume is about half that of with A2DP | If you need either a cheap / good-looking model or a model with a dongle and the relatively bad sound quality isn't a problem, do get this. (Compatibility problems with the Qtek 8500: the headset mike didn't work.) |
| Plantronics Pulsar 590 | The best of all, albeit it lacks some trembles | Really convenient | OK | + | +; connects with a 3.5 stereo cable (no mike!); unlike with Nokia's or Cellink's dongles, however, it has a one-second delay, which makes it useless in, say, movie watching | Highly recommended |
