I've tried other cheaper brands before, but were all horrible, until I got the Voyager 510. It works great with my LG VX8600 with little or no static. It has a very long battery life and after two weeks I'm very satisfied with my purchase. One minor issue is that it sometimes it stops responding to my phone and I'd have to turn off my phone to get it up and working, but this has happened rarely. I highly recommend this bluetooth even over the more expensive ones.
