I don't know what it is about Katherine from Desperate Housewives, but she seems to be one of the leading gadget girls on the show. We've already unveiled her cell phone — a nice fire engine red Centro, and now I've figured out what kind of Bluetooth earpiece she uses as well. For $90 you can have Katherine's Plantronics Voyager 520A Wireless Headset, which offers eight hours total talk time, a noise canceling mic, and 33' range from your Bluetooth enabled cell phone.

After chatting with a friend on the weekend, who got nailed with a $130 after getting caught chatting on her cell phone (California law requires you to use a hands-free device while driving), I've decided to show some love to the Bluetooth devices. Just like Nadya Suleman, my friend is going to have to invest in a hands-free device. Since she's a bit of a fashionista and doesn't want to use the standard earpiece included with her BlackBerry, I feel like it's my duty to offer up some decent suggestions.

Naturally, since long-distance lovers Jim and Pam from The Office have already conquered video chat to keep-in-touch, why not take it to the next level with the world's tiniest Bluetooth earpiece?
In this funny clip, you'll see Pam showing off her latest tech purchase — a Bluetooth earpiece — which she found in a Japanese gadget store. Later in the show, Dwight notices that Jim is wearing one and says, "Is that the Matsahasi B400D, the world's tiniest bluetooth?"

In recent years (and even months, due to the Hands Free Law), the use of Bluetooth earpieces has become more and more common, and I'm increasingly seeing more and more people on the street wearing them, which is great!
They're convenient and wireless and that's nice and all, but seriously. What is this trend of wearing them when you're not using them (or expecting a call)?

Right up there with the Discovery 925 and Jawbone headset in terms of functionality and total class is the latest by Joby — the Zivio Boom Bluetooth. With a sexy and sophisticated exterior and with 10-hours of talk time (and over 300 hours on standby), this headset is definitely going to be making it to the top of some Christmas wish lists this year. All this for only $130.

Seller Indigo Daydreams has found her geekery niche on Etsy: She paints Bluetooth earpieces (most of them seem to be old Plantronics 220s) from dull black plastic to whimsical, colorful little tchotchkes, like this teal polka-dot number.
Now, to be delicate here. .

Sleek and chic was the name of the game at last night's Jawbone party here in San Francisco. Me and my geeksugar partner in crime were out in full force, checking out Jawbone's latest and greatest second generation bluetooth headset, which is now available for $130. Not only did we get to examine this fashionable device, which features stellar noise-blocking technology and is fifty percent smaller than the original model, but we ran into one of our favorite tech savvy gals — Gina Hughes of Yahoo!

Now this is an interesting concept which I spotted on GeekAlerts. Wear a retro phone handset around your neck and use it as a your bluetooth handheld for your cell phone. Yes with the $70 bluetooth mini phone lanyard you can answer calls from your cell via the tiny one by pressing the call button.

Designed by Matthias Lange, the Clipset was created as a comfortable and stylish antidote to more masculine Bluetooth headsets. While other common headsets often affect the appearance of the user in a very technical way, the Clipset is all about the chic. If it's currently not in use the earphone could be wrapped around the device.
