Looking for a comfortable cell phone earpiece

My Jabra is giving me an ear ache. Do you use a comfortable ear piece? Which one? I'm on Verizon network if that matters any. TIA.

I use a BlueAnt Q1. It is suppose to be one of the better ones. I think they all have a bit of a delay.

Give this video a try. I have made both custom earbuds and a custom earpiece for my bluetooth headset with it.





You can find the custom earplug sets at Amazon for about 10 bucks!

I have a B&O Earset 2, but it's not for everyone.

if it's bluetooth wireless, the earache is because it's nuking your head. I use an air-tube wired ear piece to keep the cell activity at least a little bit away from me.
But that opens up another big discussion, too I guess.... But cell phones hurt my head I know.

Why go small? Nothing says M$NEY like a well sorted "command center" blue tooth. Look at this guy, barking his commands to his lessor employees while he stands behind you at StarBucks. Why talk to a person in private when you can have 20 strangers join the meeting? Sure he knows you hear his whole one sided conversation, but who are you! I have yet to ever find a headset that I liked. I know they are needed and I have one somewhere, but thank God for blue tooth car systems. As soon as I put one on, I fear people think I'm this guy.
