Bluetooth is a wireless protocol for exchanging data over short distances from fixed and mobile devices, creating personal area networks (PANs). The intent is to connect multiple devices and overcome problems arising from synchronization.
In the past few years, Bluetooth headsets have become must-have accessories for cell phone fanatics. The benefits of these hands-free, wireless devices are obvious, particularly in the wake of state and local laws that require the use of a headset while driving. And just as the number of headsets has exploded, the number of Bluetooth cell phones has increased as well. Integrated Bluetooth is now present in a broad range of cell phones--from high-end smartphones to low-end functional models. Of course, cell phone Bluetooth usage is not limited to just headsets--you can also use Bluetooth to stream music wirelessly, connect to the Web, transfer files, and more. Bluetooth Headset - Choosing The Right One For Your Cell Phone
Bluetooth headsets are normally larger than wired headsets, mainly because the battery has to be included. This extra size will determine how the headset will feel once mounted around your ear.
The first thing that you want to evaluate is comfort. There are basically two styles of headsets. One style wraps around your ear and can be adjusted. I found this style to be the most comfortable. With the other style, you press it into your ear. I wasn't comfortable with this style. You however, may be different so give them both a try.A Bluetooth wireless headset is the way to go if you really want the freedom to use your cell phone almost anywhere.
Here are some other things that you want to consider when selecting your Bluetooth headset. Ease of Use and Ergonomics
* Are the control buttons easy to get to
* Can you easily adjust the volume level
* Do you understand the instructions in the manual
* Is there a support number to call if you have problems
* Can you easily put it on your ear and take it off
* Is it comfortable to wear for extended periods of time
* Can you use it if you wear glasses
* Can it be worn on either ear
* Is there something to store it in when not in use
* Check the weight - does it feel like it's falling off
Ask About and Check the Features
* How many other devices can you use it with
* Find out about the range of the headset
* Check the sound quality
* What's the battery life and battery type
* Find out the warranty period and what is covered
* How do you know if the battery needs to be charged
* Compatibility with other cell phones and devices
Though Bluetooth itself may be easy to understand, choosing a Bluetooth headset for your phone isn't so simple. The number of Bluetooth headsets continues to grow rapidly. Styles, features, performance, and compatibility vary, so it's important to take the time to find a device that's right for you.
