If you don’t want dangling wires and wires stretched from
your music system to wherever you are sitting then you
should try out the new wireless, or cordless, headsets.
Bluetooth technology – so named after the King of Denmark
in the 10th Century when he united Denmark and Norway – has
made this a very simple choice.
All it takes is to place a ‘dongle’ – a small box with a
small jack plug – into your music system. The headphones
and dongle are then ‘paired’ electronically and you are set
to go!
Apart from the usual requirements of headphones – good
sound quality, comfort, hands free design etc. – some
people just want to look ‘cool’ when it comes to wearing
headsets.
The Bluetooth technology allows the user to wear headphones
without the trailing wires and styles have certainly
improved of late.
I – Phone have come up with a design which looks a little
odd. The behind the neck bar attaches to large, egg-shaped
ear pieces and are not for everyone.
They look a little theatrical in style and basically are
just too big to look ‘cool’. A pointer to watch out for
when purchasing new headphones is to try them on for size.
This headset’s bar stood out from the back of the neck way
too far.
Whether you want the smaller, more fashionable, or more
portable headphones always make sure you get what is right
for you in terms of comfort, style and price. Buy the best
you can afford for longevity.
