Bluetooth Headset That Actually Works

[flippyshark]

I have to agree with Alex about the flashing blue lights. (Also, the horrid white glow of various text-message screens, iPhones and so on, which have become a CONSTANT at theaters. I wish the "Silence Is Golden" ads would be joined by "Glow-ers Are Annoying" ads.)

So, what is the function of the little flashy blue light? If the wearer can't see it, why is it there? To look cool? It doesn't. Though it matters not a whit, my perception of bluetooth headsets is that they give their wearers an appearance of middle-managerial self-importance. (I'm not saying I wouldn't wear one, mind you, just that I flinch when I notice them on others. I'll get over it.)

I think the intention is to show other people when a call is in progress.

No, it seems to blink all the time. Not once when I have approached a person in a theater to ask them to take it off or turn it off has that person been in conversation on the phone.

I'm not sure of other headsets, but on a motorola h700, blue (slow pulse) means they are on a call, blue (quick flash) means the headset is on standby, so I agree, it would appear blink all the time.
