Be Smart

Here at Popgadget we get hundreds of press releases each week. But recently I got one that I not only read all the way through, I laughed my head off. It's for the new BT530 Jabraheadse,t but the "headsetetiquette" is for all of us (kudos to Mike Rush at 360 PR):

Sure Bluetooth headsets increase efficiency, but how do you know you or your loved one won't be an abuser? By following a few simple rules, you can be hands-free and stylish without being "that guy" :



1) Never incorporate your Bluetooth headset into your hairdo
2) Keep the hand waving and shouting to a minimum in public to avoid looking crazy
3) Never whisper sweet nothings into a loved one’s ear while someone is talking into your own
4) You or your dentist can sport a headset, but never psychiatrists
5) Ditch it at wedding ceremonies, but feel free to tune out during divorce proceedings

The new titanium, lightweight Jabra headset features their proprietary "Noise Blackout technology" which uses dual-microphones, DSP technology and Audio Shock Protection to cancel out background noise and preserve voice quality in the process.

On a busy street I could hear my girlfriend clearly, and when she yelled "@#$ up to 5 1/2 hours talk time; 250 hours standby time. $99.

And don't get caught looking like Princess Leia. Enough said.
