I have used all the headsets you mentioned with the exception of the SE ones with the Treo 650, and I can tell you from experience that the Scala-500 is by far much louder than any of them. In fact, I find that at the highest volume setting the volume can be almost too high! What I found works great is to set the volume to max on the Treo, and two notches below the highest setting on the headset. This way, the volume is comfortable in quiet environments, and automatically boosts itself in noisy environments. It's amazing really... like one of those speed sensitive car radios that adjusts the volume depending on the speed of your car to make up for road noise. The Scala-500 actually adjusts for the noise itself, so it's especially useful!
