I've field testing a few preproduction Jabra units, they're good units,
but they're not pretty. On the other hand, neither are the Motorola
units.
Anyone have any thoughts about the BlueSpoon AX headsets?

Motorola units are not "pretty"? You gotta be kidding me? They are
totally hi-tech looking with lights and everything!

Lights are good, especially the HS850s soft blue glow!
As for the boom, I don't mean to be rude, but you must have an odd shaped
melon or something. ;-)
Also if you look at the boom, near where the mic is, you will see that
there is a bulge, where it may rest against your face where the soft rubber
is, but the mic is at the bottom front of that bulge where it won't be
covered up.
Anyway, maybe look into the HS820, you won't be covering that one up, it may
not have a boom, but it looks good, people hear you just as well, and the
only thing I didn't like about it was that the volume was a little to low
for my liking. I wonder if they have fixed that in the meantime?

not to be rude but do you have very fat cheeks or large head?
mine doesnt even come close to touching my cheek.
perhaps you can use the hs820. it has no boom and fits bigger ears and heads
better.

If you paid $100 you overpaid! Compusa has it for $50 this week, and
had it on sale for the same price a month ago. With the replacement
H700 coming before the end of the year it is "clearance" time on the
HS850... the new h700 will be 30% smaller/lighter with improved echo
control (according to specs/reviews). Of course it has a retail of $120
(on the few sites that even have it listed as being available soon), so
at $50 for the HS850 you would have a bargain...
