Thinking of cord-cutting the landline. My office phone is running close to $70 a month, as long as I don't use any "long distance" and the office is just me now, and there are rarely more than two hours of phone a month. For $850 a year, I'm thinking a good quality smartphone would be just as practical, without the need for voice mail at the base station, etc.
I'm looking for a really good quality headset (earpieces & microphone) to use with a cell phone to replace my current landline cordless phone and headsets. I have some hearing loss, so high quality is really important. And I'm talking to clients, we're spelling out customer names and part numbers so both sides need to have pin-drop quality sound. Sounding like you're at the far end of a cardboard tube is not acceptable.
Current smartphone is a Android Nexus 6P with 35mm audio jack and a USB-3 connector and Bluetooth. I've tried Bluetooth and that was an exercise in frustration, but perhaps they've gotten better.
This is a business purchase, not a frugal home purchase, so if you're really convinced the $129.99 Plantronics Bluetooth is worth it, I'll give it a shot.
Recommendations?
We use Plantronics C320M headsets supplied by the corporate mothership for Skype etc, they're about 45 bucks by the look of it, USB though. Can't complain on quality.
I have no issues with my Motorola H710 headset. Sometimes I forget it's even on. Over-the-ear isn't for everyone, but I like it.

I've had great success with the Plantronics!!! Well worth it, imo.
