I'd like to buy a wireless headset primarily for use with my Macbook Pro, but being able to pair it to two devices would be helpful, as I could also pair it with my iPhone or my PS3 (requiring compatibility with Bluetooth 2.0); primary use will be on Skype or Teamspeak. I stupidly purchased the Samsung HM 1300 headset at Radio Shack for $30 (I know, I should know better, but it was pouring down rain and they were right there) and the sound quality was horrendous - the static was quite loud and the voices sounded as though they were 50 feet away. The box was slightly damaged so I fear that someone else returned them as defective and they resold them to me; needless to say, they will be returned and I've been painfully reminded why I never buy from Radio Shack.

That having been said, any recommendations for me? I'd like to stay around $30, $40 at the most; I'm not looking for high-quality audio for iTunes, but if the sound quality is substantially poorer than my Mac's built-in speaker such that I'm having trouble understanding other people on Teamspeak, then there's not much point to this endeavor.

Thanks!
