My New Toy
Boys and their toys ..... My new toy is an Insignia stereo Bluetooth headset from Future Shop. I have my brother Dave to thank for this ... Davey gave me a lovely set of good quality wireless earphones (not Bluetooth) from Future shop, but knowing that I was fickle, he kindly taped the gift receipt to 'em. Sure enough, I switched them for the bluetooth set. Thanks Davey!!
I have one beef: The range is not quite what was advertised. It comes nowhere close to 30 m .... I'm finding that at less than 30' it starts to sound very static-y.
However, the sound is sooo clear, and it paired easily with both my cell phone and the laptop. I love it.

Hi Jud, that's great! I'm glad the bluetooth unit is working for you... I can't stand traditional phone handsets anymore... me and handsets are through (well, close to it). I don't have a new-style headset but i have a mic for Skipe and that seems to do the trick for now. I'd like to get one that plugs into a regular phone for Antonina, because she does a lot of business calls. But she doesn't seem that interested. Do you know if they make head/speaker sets with traditional phone plug ins?

Hey Davey, yes I think so ...You can get the wired kind pretty easily - I got mine through work so I have not tried this, but I suspect B.Buy would have one. As for Bluetooth or wireless, any bluetooth headset will work; the trick is the transmitter. You can find these I think - I don't have one but I've thought about it ... google "bluetooth landline" and you'll get a couple hits. Probably you could get one off of e-bay??
