    If you need a simple Bluetooth headset, Plantronics is hard to beat for the money. Paired easily with my wife's iPhone 8.

    I was going to purchase the more expensive one, but the clerk told me she really liked the one I ended up purchasing. The person in the receiving end of my call complains about the echo and the road noise. I don't live in a town with a best buy so was not able to return within the 15 days so looks like I'm stuck with this product. There good if you're in a quiet room, but not in the car.
