It's a bluetooth, you're not supposed to take it off...

When people like you try to talk to me, I either keep interrupting them with "Are you on the phone now?" or I pull out my own cellphone and hold it to my ear while I talk to them. I find that trying to demonstrate just how annoying you people are to civilized people is the best way to change your behavior.

I thought those Bluetooth ear pieces were cool until the bad guys in "24" started to wear them - ALL THE TIME!

I realized that average Americans identify a Bluetooth guy as an annoying cuniving person ready to give the command to kill the good guy.

Re: Jawbone Bluetooth Headset to be sold alongside

I think I paid about $70 for my Jabra BT headset that I've had for a little over a year. It's just alright--people on the other end complain of their voice echoing constantly and it's developed a rattle when you jiggle it in the last month of so (and I didn't drop it).

It honestly doesn't sound like too much to me to spend $120 on a BT headset that is built very well and doesn't annoy the person I'm talking to. Now, if I could just get confirmation that this one has those qualities...

Re: Jawbone Bluetooth Headset to be sold alongside

Just read a bunch of user reviews on this headset.

I like a lot of what I've read, but one thing almost seems like a deal-breaker... Apparently, there's no tactile or audio feedback when you've pressed the main answer/call/redial button. Who's the genius that decided on this??? I mean, come on now, what's so difficult about a simple beep to tell you that you did in fact press the button? My Jabra BT500 does that, as did my previous headset.

I guess if I want to try it out, I'll have to pay full price at a local store, so that I can return it if it doesn't work for me.

Not that this makes it an impulse buy, but you can actually get the Jawbone for $85 at eCost.com:

$85's better than $120, but, it's still not a no-brainer unless you are constantly talking in loud environments and/or must have the cool design.

Good to know. Thanks.
