My Favorite Christmas Gift
December 30, 2007
The best thing I got for Christmas from my wife was a bluetooth headset. With little suggestive hints, she got me the .
It is a little bluetooth device with a built-in mic that essentially acts as a hands free headset that pairs up with your cellphone, computer, etc. What makes this thing uniquie is that I can plug any headset into it, or anything with a standard herdphone jack. With most bluetooth headsets you are at the mercy of whatever ear piece they give you (It does come with a set of stereo headphones if you don’t have any). I am mainly going to use this to play music wirelessly from my cell phone to my car, since I can plug this device into my audio in jack in my car. I have a cell phone with a built in MP3 player so now I can listen to those songs in my car without one of those FM transmitters, using bluetooth instead.
What is also cool about this device is that when hooked up to my car stereo, when I get a call, the music mutes and the callers voice can be heard over my car speakers. I was always having issues hearing people with my little in-the-ear headset that never got loud enough, but routing the call through the car speakers makes that no longer a problem. It also has an LED display which shows the caller id of the incoming call or the current playing song. It charges with a mini-usb, so you can charge it in the wall or just connect it to your pc and it charges. From a form perspective, it is in the shape of a clamp, so you can clip it onto your shirt pocket or collar so it is easy to take with you and it only weighs 22 grams. Very little genious gadget this is!!! I don’t think my wife will be able to out do herself next Christmas!!
