Bluetooth Headsets: Tacky vs. Trendy

GeekSugar — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 11:07:42 -0700

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.

Although the first headset pictured here is a Dolce & Gabbana H700 Bluetooth Headset by Motorola ($73), I had to force my friend to ignore the D&G label. The headset is too big and the shiny gold is a little over the top - definitely not geek chic in my book. Instead, I recommended this sleek Jawbone Bluetooth Headset with Noise Assassin ($74) to her, which is still stylish, and offers amazing sound technology.

Spicing things up for Spring and Summer, Jawbone has just debuted their new line of candy-colored Bluetooth earpieces that come with catchy names like Yello!, Drop Me a Lime, LILAC You Mean It, and Frankly Scarlet. This new line of headsets are said to deliver up to nine decibels of improvement in noise suppression and with NoiseAssassin 2.0 technology, there is suppose to be 5x better call clarity in noisy environments. The bright new Jawbones will start selling nationwide on May 2 for $130.

Get Serena's Pink Bluetooth Earpiece by Jawbone

GeekSugar — Fri, 20 Mar 2009 03:30:58 -0700

However you feel about Bluetooth earpieces, sometimes you need one. . . to re-create the famous scene from Cyrano de Bergerac (younger generations recognize it as Roxanne), like Serena did in this week's episode of Gossip Girl.

Fun plot twist aside, of course, I noticed that Serena was wearing a recognizable - and super chic - Jawbone Bluetooth Headset in Ramblin' Rose, to get her feed of dialogue from Vanessa. The champagne pink color is girlie, stylish, and will disappear into your hair, if you need it to.

Getting Busted For Driving While Talking Isn't So Bad After All

If you've already received a ticket for cruising around in California with one hand on the wheel and one hand holding your phone, I have a little something to make getting that ticket seem less depressing. Aliph, the maker of the uber-stylish Jawbone headsets (a personal fave and one of my June Must Haves), is offering you a discount when you buy one of their cool headsets!

Just enter in your citation number on the Aliph website to receive a nice $20 discount - that's the amount of the ticket itself! Well, on your first offense anyway. Here's hoping that you won't get caught "cell-handed" again!

GeekSugar — Thu, 15 May 2008 06:30:08 -0700

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! Tech and Techie Diva!

For a full gallery from the event, check out all the pics below. And if you're wondering how to get your hands on the gold and silver designs, they'll be available soon. Finally, a bluetooth device with extraordinary sound quality that is comfortable to wear and is absolutely stylish!

Michelle Trachtenberg Needs Two Phones For Her Busy Life

GeekSugar — Fri, 10 Jul 2009 07:38:55 -0700

Obviously, Michelle Trachtenberg didn't get the memo about how I'd wire Georgina Sparks for her upcoming stint in college, otherwise she'd toss that RAZR2 V9x and BlackBerry Curve and replace it with an iPhone 3GS! Although I am digging her color choice for the outfitted BlackBerry (which is the phone of choice on another show I'm quickly becoming addicted to), I'm just left wondering who carries a RAZR anymore when you're as busy as Michelle!?

At least the iPhone would make it easy to check calendar appointments, make calls, and check emails, plus with endless apps, she can keep her professional (and personal) life chugging along without needing to carry a duo of phones. Pair the iPhone with the Jawbone Bluetooth Headset I recommended, and she's good to go hands-free.

The Hottest New Bluetooth Headset on the Block

GeekSugar — Sun, 17 Aug 2008 07:11:00 -0700

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.
