Bluetooth Earpiece – reasons why it is needed

Posted on Updated on

What is your favourite feature of my earpiece? In my opinion, I like the design job – Its cooler than an Inuit’s underpants!

I have just pointed out that most governments have enacted legislations that outlawed talking with mobile phone while driving.
Bluetooth earpiece technology has made it possible for drivers to talk on their phones while driving. The way it works is that one can talk to the earpiece while the person in the other end would be hearing him. This is done without the driver making use of the handheld receiver.

Answering telephone calls with Bluetooth earpiece does not in any way detract the driver from his driving. Bluetooth earpiece has come to the rescue of the drivers in this aspect. The other area where the use of Bluetooth earpiece can work wonders for the owners is in multi tasking.
Iphone users can actually answer calls and at the same time would be doing other things without loosing concentration. The good thing here is that such a person that is performing the multi tasking is not in any way distracted. For travelers making use of Bluetooth earpiece would be advantageous to them because they do not need to make use of handset while answering or making calls when they are on the road.

One can put the phone to any part of the pocket and would still be making calls. One can answer and make several calls without making use of the handset. It is a very convenient way to make and receive calls. These are just few of the reasons one must make use of Bluetooth earpiece.

The challenge that is often faced by people is how to get the best Bluetooth earpiece at cheap prices. There are many brands of Bluetooth device and one needs to have the brand that would match his or her iphone. Sometimes these iphone do come with Bluetooth headset but sometimes one may need to have them replaced.

In such instances one has to search a matching earpiece. There are several options that one is presented with in a situation like that. He may have difficult times making a selection of the preferred brand. Moreover all Bluetooth earpiece does not have the same design and the capacity varies as well.
Making a choice is always a big challenge. One can now see that investment in Bluetooth earpiece is a wise investment. It makes communication with iphone and other types of phones easier. Bluetooth technology has clearly taken over in many aspects of communication and the love for it is just beginning.

Why Are Secret Service Agents Always Touching Their Ears

Posted on Updated on

headphonesWith very little information on the internet about headset’s, it is very rare when we get a chance to re post, with permission, an article from this industry.
The Secret Service suspended 11 agents Thursday after allegations that some had solicited prostitutes in Colombia to bring back to their hotel. Among their other shifty behaviors, Secret Service agents seem to spend a lot of time reaching up with one hand to touch their ears. Why do they do that—are those earpieces uncomfortable?
No, it’s just so they can hear better. Pushing in an earpiece makes for a tighter seal, which could mean the difference between hearing or missing a Secret Service codename or another agent’s message about the president’s position while standing in a noisy room. While earpieces are not uncomfortable, they do sometimes come loose, requiring readjustment.
Earpieces aren’t the only communication devices the Secret Service uses, and not all earpieces have the same design. Some devices, for example, look like iPod ear buds. The one-ear headphone often shown in the movies is standard and comes with a curly wire that runs down under their shirt to a hidden microphone worn in different locations depending on the circumstances of the assignment. One standard spot is just under the shirt sleeve. (That explains why agents are always lifting their wrists to their mouths.) Earpieces also come in different colors, and some agents choose a device that matches their skin or hair.
Bonus Explainer: Why are Secret Service agents always wearing sunglasses? To keep the sun out of their eyes. While the Service has often cultivated a certain mystique, preferring to remain “cloaked in silence and mystery,” spokesmen insist they wear shades merely for their traditional purpose, and not, say, to keep would-be assassins from knowing which way they’re looking. The Secret Service has no set uniform, but agents say that wearing sunglasses on a sunny day helps them to scan a crowd for suspicious behavior.
