 Articleimages 2008 03  Articleimages 2007    Articleimages Motorola-Logo-Klein

We've been feeling, well, empty here at WMExperts lately and at a bit of a loss as to explain why. Could it be that there's a dearth of gadget rumors? No - HTC has some fancy stuff coming out and our sister site TreoCentral reported (before anybody else, btw) that the 800w has entered some sort of public/private Beta test. Could it be that we haven't been able to play around with new gadgets lately? No - a quick perusal of our Reviews Archive definitely shows that the flow of useful toys and accessories has been steady. What is it, then?

Oh yeah, it's been several weeks since we reported on what is increasingly looking like the death spiral of Motorola. Silly us.

Bluetooth Headsets: To Hook or Not to Hook?

To Hook or Not To Hook

Bluetooth technology has been around since the late 1990’s, first being introduced as a wireless network designed primarily to replace cables for communication between personal computing and communications devices.

It didn’t take long for the development of Bluetooth headset with the first hitting consumer markets about eight years ago. Since the first Bluetooth Headset hit the store shelves, more and more cell phone users are walking around with blinking headset protruding from their ears. Lt. Uhura would be proud that so many are following in her footsteps.

Bluetooth headsets have evolved with the technology having stronger reception, clearer signals, multiple pairings, more functionality as well as seeing dramatic design changes. Along the journey, two prominent designs have emerged; those that fit in your ear and those that use a hook around your ear.

So which is better? Or is this simply an “apples to oranges” comparison? Does the hook add to the comfort or does the in the ear feel better?
