What's the deal with the echo on bluetooth?

I got a Bluetooth earpiece (Samsung) and get complaints
from people who call me that they hear their voice echoing
so badly, that I have to take them off of the earpiece and just
use the handset. I have a razr v3, is there an earbud that is more
compatible? Is it just that I got a cheap one? I have heard the same
effect from people who call me at work, and it is pretty nauseating.
I really can't afford to buy several different headsets, to try them
all out, so I was wondering if anyone had any good experiences
to relate.
I looked on some review websites, but since I found good reviews
of the model I found crappy, I feel that they may be less truthful, or
too "moderated" i.e. edited to be much use.

I use a Motorola HS-850 with my V3 and have never heard (or
no one has reported hearing) an echo.

No such problems with my Logitech Mobile Freedom and Treo 650 combo.

Assuming your handset clarity is OK, your headset is either crappy or
defective. My Sony Ericsson HBH-30 is crystal clear.
