PC World reviews Plantronics MX-100s Headset

PC World took a look at the Plantronics MX-100s
headset — the one that works as both a cellphone headset and one for a portable audio player — and found it well-suited to the task. Despite some caveats — that the headset's earbud design takes some getting used to (she likened it to a
"clip-on earring") and that, since the phone doesn't ring through the headset, you may not hear it when listening to music — the reviewer gave the $40 headset 3.5 stars, citing its "solid sound quality." We'd still like it to be a Bluetooth set (but you'd presumably need a Bluetooth-compatible audio player, and the one this is designed for — you know, that white plastic-coated one — isn't), and would like it to be able to pause your music when you take a call,
but what do you expect for $40?
