The Parrot kit is not cheap, at £125 or thereabouts. It's a fair bit cheaper than the 'professional' grade kits which come in at £200 or so, but also quite away above the Borg approach - which can cost around £50 for a decent headset. Does the MK6000 justify the price tag? Well, the music streaming is novel, and is a feature not offered by many other kits. If you are a big music phone person - and maybe, with the rumoured iPhone, we all will be soon - this will be a good solution for you. On the plus side, it's also true that call quality is pretty good, and the voice dialling works well. But there are downsides. There is no screen, so you can't see who's calling you - a feature some competing kits are now starting to integrate. The lack of a decent mounting mechanism for the control unit is also a bit of a problem. But that said, the Parrot works reliably and really covers the bases that it sets out to. If you're a mobile music fan, you'll love this - if not, evaluate it against the other cost options before taking the dive.
