Wired Bluetooth Headsets
October 17, 2007
A very nice review of Bluetooth Headsets here by Farhad Manjoo. I like it as it highlights several things about headsets:
- Social aspect number 1: that the first reaction of people to anyone wearing one is still "dickhead"
- Social aspect number 2: in the rush to make them unobtrusive, it can also make things confusing
- Wired sometimes beats wireless: That is - those Bluetooth headsets with a wire connecting to a clip-on part can counter both those social aspects, and in some cases, add value (such as caller id visible on the clip-on, etc)
I think a lot of people who are allergic to "traditional" Bluetooth headsets should try out the "wired" models. The combination is often perfect for addressing both the "I feel stoopid" issue, and the "where's the volume control/who's calling me" aspects.
