New Telephone Headset

I purchased a new headset on eBay from a vendor named Mafia Buys that works both with the cordless handset at home and with my Blackberry...

I got a Plantronics MX505 based on the recommendation of a co-worker.  The advantages are that it was moderately priced ($20 shipped), that it has enough volume that I can hear well even in a car, that it has a voice tube so the person on the other end can hear me well, that it has a mute and volume control on the cord, and that it is moderately comfortable.

On the disadvantages side, because of the voice tube, it is not convenient to carry it around all the time, the cord (as are all cords) is a hassle and gets in the way, it isn't totally comfortable for hours at a time, and it doesn't have a button anywhere to initiate or end a call.
