Bluetooth Headset

Have you ever seen someone walking through the mall looking like they’re talking to themselves?  Ever ran into someone you know on the street and think they’re talking to you only to find out they’re wearing “one of those stupid little things in their ear”?  What are those things called again, anyway?  Ah yes, Bluetooth.  So what’s the big fuss, anyway?  Seems like everywhere you turn, someone’s using Bluetooth technology or wearing a Bluetooth headset.  Let’s take a look at what it is, why you should want one, and the best Bluetooth headsets available.

Bluetooth is a technology allowing devices such as cell phones, headsets, computer peripherals, televisions, and vehicles to communicate and exchange data within a range of about 30 feet through the use of radio signals.  The most common use is to allow users to talk on their cell phone with a wireless headset.

Despite the fact that you think you’ll look weird talking on a Bluetooth headset, consider the benefits.  If you’re like me, you spend a good amount of time on the computer.  When the phone rings, you have to stop whatever you’re doing to hold a phone and chit-chat.  Not so with Bluetooth.  You simply press a button and you’re in hands-free heaven.  You can also drive more safely by keeping both hands on the wheel.

Convinced yet?  Yeah, you know you want one.  So what are your best options?  Cost varies quite a bit depending on what you’re after.  You can go to some places and find it for around $25.  You could also end up paying hundreds.  It’s all about what features you want and finding the right place to help you make a smart purchase.

A nice headset to check out is the X5 model by Blue Ant.  This stereo blue tooth device enables you to listen to quality music or make calls all without the nuisance of having wires.  It’s compatible with cell phones, computers, and personal desktop assistants (PDAs).  At a cost of around $75, it’s a versatile, high-quality device sure to keep you satisfied for years to come.  It’s compatible with most models (Motorola, Blackberry, Cingular, Nokia, Samsung, T-Mobile, and Verizon—to name a few).

Some great places to get started on your quest to find the right one for you include Google Shopping, Amazon, eBay, and Bluetooth.com.  If you know what model you’re after, you may also want to check out their specific web site.  Just think—soon you’ll be hands free and chatting up a storm…have fun!
