I'm not sure what you mean by "decent quality". If you want some kind of
all-singing gear that will mute the radio, etc., my own experience won't
help.
I got a BT headset 2 or 3 years ago and I was nagging SWMBO to get
something similar. She doesn't like anything stuck in her ear (I don't
know why). I read about this and got one for her.

When I read about this, the article said it was only available at the
CPW, which is where I got it from. It also said it was £49.99 which is
what I paid - so how come the CPW web site now shows twice that price,
goodness knows. It was easy to set up, easy to use (with her Samsung
D500) and SWMBO likes it!
I'd say there were two downsides to it: To charge it requires a lead
from the cigar lighter, which (if it's mounted on the sun visor) is
hardly practical. (It's a mini-USB socket.) OTOH, its talk and standby
times are huge so that might not be a big problem. Secondly, it won't
interrupt the car audio.
It's fixed by a steel clip over the sun visor to which it attaches with
magnets so it's easily installed and easily portable. But the best bit
is that you're never tempted to walk around with it stuck in your ear!
