Consumers Finally Realize That Bluetooth Headsets Are Ugly, Goofy

Some of them actually don't look as bad as others. I have a specific problem with them on a personal level. I am completely deaf in my right ear, and 60% deaf in my left ear. So I have to wear a bi-directional hearing aid. Most Bluetooth headsets do not work to well with a hearing aid. The amount of feedback the produce is rather high when used with a hearing aid, yet when used without one the sound is not quite clear enough. It is loud enough to hear but somewhat (to a minor degree garbled) then with feedback on top of that makes it questionable.

I never thought for one second that it was stylish to wear a bluetooth headset. On the contrary, whenever I have used one, I felt foolish. All the more so after taking notice of the people who look at you and think you are talking to yourself. On a purely functional level though, I think they are great. Using speakerphone is horrendous on any and all phones, leaving no real alternatives to bluetooth for hands free cordless cell usage. Not to mention the fact that (depending upon where you live) it is illegal to use a cell in a non hands-free manner while driving.

Definitely Ajay, they're really only truly useful in-car in my opinion. Otherwise, stick the phone up to your ear or get off it, or risk looking like a dweeb. ;-)

I usually get the tools that wear them in the restaurant. When I go up to them and they are just sitting there and I ask if there food is ok or something and they stick there finger in my face like a am supposed to know they are on the phone.

Agreed. They look stupid. Especially when you are just wearing it all the time and not even on the phone. Why do you need hands free anywhere but the car?

Personally I like the fact I see more businessmen in ties and suits talking to themselves like an insane bum on the street. And coincidentally they're usually having about the same conversations.

They look like the "BORG" has begun to assimilate them! LOL!
