Bluetooth Headset

katiesue · 10-18-2006, 09:57 AM

Any recommendations for a bluetooth headset? My current one picks up too much background noise while driving and no one can hear me clearly.

Chris and I both have Plantronics bluetooth headsets and they have really good sound, however, sometimes they don't stay connected to my phone - not sure if that's the phone or the headset.

I picked up a Plantronics as well. Been okay.

I'm trying to find one with a boom style mic. I don't know why bluetooth manufacturers think a mic that is up by your ear is sufficient.

I have a Motorola earpiece. It works well.. though there are times that I have to re-establish connection with my phone. This has happened only 2 times.

sorry to derail the thread, but wtf is the name "bluetooth" from?

Quote:

The name Bluetooth is derived from the cognomen of a 10th century king of Denmark, Harald Bluetooth. According to the inventors of the Bluetooth technology, Harald engaged in diplomacy which led warring parties to negotiate with each other, making Bluetooth a fitting name for their technology, which allows different devices to talk to each other.

Well now...

I still think the technology would do better if it had a different name...

Blackberry. Bluetooth. Both were strange to me at first and now they roll of the tongue like buttah.
