Bluetooth headsets have single handedly increased this Nation’s productivity. Even though cell phones cut the cords between us and our desks, the wireless headset has released our hands. No more crooked necks or one handed driving. Our voices can control who we call and when we call.

The choice of style, size and color is ours because the availability of Bluetooth headsets is immense. Over the ear, inside the ear and against the ear – is does not matter – they all work extremely well. Pairing them with Bluetooth enabled devices such as cell phones and computers is effortless.

I learned that pairing my Motorola H12 Bluetooth headset with my Sony UMPC (Ultra Mobile PC) gave me a way to listen to radio stations that I would otherwise not have access to. Not too long ago my favorite radio personality moved to another state to work with a new radio station that offered live access via the Internet. As long as I am within 33 feet of my tiny Sony computer (locked inside a desk drawer) I can listen via my Bluetooth headset.

Functionality is most important but looking good is high on my priority list. You can see from the above photo that the H12 looks pretty good. The design is sleek and modern. It is compact and there is little to draw attention unlike those that constantly flash with a blue light. The charging stand looks like a miniature piece of art and the travel case also functions as a charging pod.

I could get technical but what I want to say is that you can hear a caller even with background noise. Once I was standing in strong wind while buying gas and not only could I hear but I was heard. There is more than enough noise at work but I no longer have to run to a quite spot to talk on my cell phone. In fact, I can hear better over my Bluetooth headset than I can with my phone pinched between my ear and shoulder.
