I seem to be pretty brutal on my iPhone headsets; I tend to go through them pretty quickly. I keep thinking I'd really like a bluetooth one for phone use, but ratings seem to be all over the map from one site to another. Does anyone have a favorite they'd recommend? (Note: volume is key; I can't wear it and my hearing aid at the same time, so I need a little extra boost in the volume)
I'd be willing to go to a new wired/corded headset as well. Note that I rarely use my iPhone for music listening via headphones. I've seen some interesting add-on bits that allow you to hook any headset up and still have a microphone (forget who makes that; saw it at Target the other day). Again, though, does anyone have a particular recommendation here?
Or, in both cases, am I better off with Apple's $29 replacement 'phones, knowing I have to replace them once every six months or so? (mostly due to the rubber wearing off, FWIW; they become somewhat irritating (literally) then)
