Treo 650 Bluetooth headset choice - covered by Total Equipment Protection?

What Bluetooth headset should I get to go with my Treo 650? I am looking at
the following:

nXZEN Model 5000 http://www.nxzen.com/product1.php

Palm Ultralight Wireless Headset
http://web.palm.com/products/Produc...60001&cat=20023

Motorola H700
http://www.motorola.com/motoinfo/pr...balObjectId=111

Does anyone have experience with any or all of these and the Treo 650? I
currently have the Palm Wireless Headset
http://web.palm.com/products/Produc...10003&cat=20023 and don't
like it. I get static and the reception and sound are not great.

I like the idea of the Palm Ultralight because it has the same charger as my
Treo.

I've seen the Motorola at the Sprint store. When I previously purchased a
wired headset from the Sprint store, they honored the Total Equipment
Protection coverage that I had and replaced the wired headset many times (I
used it all the time and they seemed to only last about 3-5 months). Will I
get the same coverage on a wireless headset purchased from a Sprint store,
or will I just be stuck with the manufacturer's warranty?

I have the Moto H3($80) and the Nokia HS-26W ($20 on sale) and they perform
the same. Both have static and the people I talk to say they have a hard
time hearing me. I had a Plantronics Discovery 640 Headset and it was just
as bad so I returned it. This was the first one I got, the second was the
Nokia and was a gift. I thought the Moto would be better but it wasn't. All
three of them had static unless the head set and Treo 650 were no more than
2 feet from each other with the phone pointed at the headset. Even then the
people I spoke to had a hard time hearing me and complained it sounded bad.
My point? Get something that feels comfortable. The Moto H3 is uncomfortable
to wear because of the charging post on the headset, it rubs against my ear
and causes it to hurt after a while. The Nokia is hard to put on. The
Plantronics was the most comfortable and easy to put on but sound quality
was the same on all three. The best quality headset I have is a Plantronics
135 (I think that's what the model number is). It's a wired headset with a
noise canceling mike, mike volume and mute switch on the wire. It is a wired
headset but it offers the best sound quality I've heard, that's why I bought
two of them. I don't think they sell them anymore though.

Hope this helps.
