A long time ago i came to the realization that bluetooth is pretty wortheless for file transfers and things of the like. When i learned the protocol found a nice home with voice transfer i thought to myself, "good for you bluetooth, good for you". A few days ago i was introduced to a bluetooth headset. While utter disgust in bt had me reluctant i tried the headset out with my iphone. I used the Plantronics M155 as my coworker told me i need to "experience my phone life handsfree". Hes the kind of ass hat that walks around with the thing in his ear 24/7. But i washed out the ear gel and stuffed it in my ear, the pairing, was super easy and the connection was very clear, and then it dawned on me that all phones should be made this way....hands free connection to the phone is amazing! The headset was also optimized for iOS which made it pairing and using a lot easier than other option from what i understand....so my question to you all, is do you use bluetooth headsets? I would love to hear the good, the bad and the ugly in regard to your experience with bt headsets...
Where can I get a headsfree handset?

Whats a phone? Nothin' but us Amish here.
But to answer the question, except where it connects to my car-NO!
When you wear glasses you can't use a bluetooth earpiece as they both fight for the same real estate. I've been able to do it for short times, but can't for very long.
And those ear thingies that just stick in your ear? They make good floor candy. I must have non standard ears.

I have a Motorola bluetooth unit that hangs from the visor. It works well in a noise-free environment ie GTO or 4runner; not the Elise or 911. You can get it from Amazon for $30
It's illegal in Ontario to use a cellphone in your car without some form of hands free device. I have a Blueant "Supertooth 3" visor mount which works well. I just bought a JVC HU for the X Trail and it has bluetooth built in. Everyone says it sounds like I'm talking from the bottom of a well. I may look for a better mic and/or relocate the existing one.
Only when I'm trying to look like I'm in Burn Notice.

No it isn't. It's only illegal while you're driving.
I use bluetooth on my phone, but for file transfers and keyboards more than headsets. The BT headsets are really good for talking and canoeing though
