Recommended Headset for iPad

I was searching previous posts on this matter but found too many to really make a conclusion. Now that I got (with the help of the community) everything working with Smartlink (iPhone and iPad), I was wondering what headset are more used or recommended to use with an IPad?

You are likely to get a lot of input on this topic - everyone has their favorite :-) My personal favorite with the iPad is the Logitech HB800 headset - very good battery life, solid Bluetooth connectivity, included USB dongle for those times when you want Logitech proprietary connectivity using a USB port. As with all of these devices, you will need to set up the equalization to provide best transmit from the microphone (which is nose cancelling, if that matters to you). I bought mine for $69 (Canadian) a year ago, and they seem to be still available from Amazon (Logitech store wants $100 :-)1

Hands down this is the best one. This was designed by a Ham for HF operation on an iPad.

Light, full range drivers and the Mic element is noise cancelling so that background noise will not be transmitted while you are the air.
I used it while on a noising train one day, and no one could tell.

Here is the $16 Logitech Bluetooth that i have been using for years with my iPad and SSDR/iOS... super light, super portable.. very inexpensive so you don't mind losing them.. I have had superb audio reports while remoting from 30 different countries.
