The problem with most bluetooth headsets is that they make everyone think they’re extras in Minority Report. The other problem is that they are often unobtrusive so it’s difficult to spot one on someone. This makes spotting crazy people more difficult. So if bluetooth is your thing, why not make a feature of your headset, instead of attaching some flashing cheap bit of plastic to your ear, treat your bluetooth like a piece of fine jewellery or an accessory.

Jawbone

We arrived, we drank, scoffed the hors d’oeuvres and got the low down on the big technology trends for the coming year. So far so good at CES 2009.

It seems that new fangled blue tooth head sets are the new black. At the CES Unveiled press night it was Bluetooth headsets that attracted the most press attention with manufactures Zivio proving to be top dogs of the headset, set. With their sleek, minimalist designs they are truly one step ahead.

Their oh-so-cool-it-hurts head sets are minimalist, easy to use and technology-smart.

The Zivio Boom range, the latest innovations from Joby, offer expendable boom microphones to create crystal clear audio. The body of the headset is only a meagre 137 mm long, excluding the extendible microphone.

The interchangeable earpieces, pivoting ear buds and optional ear loop ensure exceptional comfort and customized fit. Their head sets have volume adjustment, mute, voice dialling and three way calling, all at the touch of a button.

The battery life of these headsets are top notch too. With ten hours of talk time and 200 hours of stand by ensures you’ll never be caught short of battery power when you need it most.
