I have the SE HBH-DS970 which is outstanding, especially in terms of sound quality. The only glitches are:

1. Max volume is fine for me but if you like to listen to your music LOUD then may not be good enough for you.
2. Battery life is only about 3 hours (I'm only guessing as I have never really timed it properly).
3. The bluetooth range is poor so you need to have you phone very nearby. Forget 10m or even 10 ft, with the dongle hanging round my neck, the sound can cut off momentarily even if my phone is in my bag hanging off my shoulder at hip level.

Despite the above, I don't regret buying mine at all. In fact, I think they're great!

I used a set of the itech ones for a while they were pretty spot on... I was in fact shocked considering the make isnt all that known.

Another issue I noticed with leaving a bluetooth connection on too long with my HBH-DS970 headphones or my HCB-100 speakerphone is the disruption of Exchange ActiveSync. I have to turn the phone on/off so that ActiveSync can connect to the internet in order to update my Exchange account.

But the HBH-DS970's have allowed me to replace having to carry an iPod when I travel. Sound quality and portability are excellent. Although I wish the volume went higher.

I tried playing music to my HBH-610a (similar to the HBH-608). Although the HBH-610a supports both handsfree and headset profiles I can not get the media player to send audio to it. It seems that the media player requires a stereo headset (A2DP profile).
HBH-608 does not support stereo for obvious reasons. Looking at pictures of the Jabra headset I would not expect stereo from that one either.
