Tips for Selecting A Bluetooth Earpiece

If you are in the market for a wireless Bluetooth earpiece for our cell phone you could be daunted by the countless number of different models available. How do you go about selecting one that suits your needs? Here are a few tips that you can keep in mind when you go shopping.

First of all, check to see if your current cell phone is Bluetooth enabled. If not, you can still use a Bluetooth earpiece by purchasing an adapter which connects to your existing phone.

Factors you want to consider for selecting a Bluetooth earpiece include the operation range, turn on time, battery life, sound quality, and comfort. If you are the type who likes to leave the cell phone on your desk and walk around your office, then make sure you get a device that has a decent range. For instance, the popular Jabra BT250v has a range of 30 feet.

When you test a Bluetooth earpiece, check to see how long it takes from the time you turn it on till it is ready for operation. Some devices have been reported to take a few seconds longer than others. This lag time can be quite annoying when you're trying to make or take a call. Battery life is another thing to consider if you're constantly on the go. You don't want to have to recharge the Bluetooth earpiece too often. For example, the Motorola H605 Bluetooth headset can last for up to 10 hours of talk time.

In terms of sound quality, you want something that has low background noise so that you can hear your conversations even when you're in a noisy place such as the train station or driving on the freeway. The comfort factor is also important. Most earpieces are designed to hook around your ear. Try the device to see if it fits comfortably on your ear before you buy it.

Finally, before you purchase your Bluetooth earpiece, do some price comparisons online. You can check sites like NexTag or Amazon where users can post reviews of products that they like or dislike. This will help you make an informed decision and not waste your money on something that may not suit your particular needs.
