We’ve talked about quite some bluetooth headsets lately, and some of them are really cute, looks totally cool in design. But this one here, it looks indeed not so charming, actually pretty ordinary. But like we always say, never judge a person form the clothing he wears, what’s inside is what really matters, and that’s this Plantronics Discovery 640 Bluetooth Headset is all about, it switches back & forth between two phones.
Plantronics is calling their Discovery 640 bluetooth headset the “ultimate bluetooth headset”. On the surface the Plantronics Discovery 640 looks like a pretty ordinary bluetooth headset, but it might just be the ultimate bluetooth headset after all since it’s capable of connecting to and switching back and forth between two bluetooth phones.
Aside from those special powers, it weighs only 1/2 an ounce, and it has a range of up to 33 feet. Plantronics Discovery 640 bluetooth headset retails for $74.99 at Amazon.
And in case you’re interested in this because you’re one of those folks who carry around two cell phones, Mobile Tech Review reviewed the Discovery 640 and gave it a 4 out of 5 star rating. You can totally check out the whole review for more details, if you’re seriously interested.

Well, bluetooth headsets are always appreciated at my home, but I haven’t seen many good ones unfortunately. So when this Pendand Style Pulsar 260 Stereo Bluetooth Headset comes into my sight, it’s just the right time at the right place.
What can we say, we are demanding when it comes to headsets. We like them wireless, small and with high-quality stereo sound. The new pendant style Pulsar 260 Stereo Bluetooth headset certainly seems to fit the bill. The compact headset has a clip which easily attaches to pockets or straps, and it has ear phones made of contoured, soft silicone gel tips, which are unusual for a bluetooth headset. The 260 connects to your cell phone via bluetooth for calls, and it supports the A2DP bluetooth profile so that you can wirelessly listen to stereo music on your phone. It also comes with an audio-out cable for connecting to any standard 3.5 back for full playback on an external stereo device.
This Plantronics’ Pulsar 260 bluetooth headset retails for $109.95. Pretty reasonable for such a nice functional bluetooth headset.

We have recommended a bluetooth headset for iPhone before, in case you don’t like that one and want to choose one yourself, I am here to give some tips on choosing the best one for you. Hopefully this will really do some help!
First of all, you should avoid the Apple Bluetooth Headset. The iPhone itself is a marvel that never stop to fascinate you. Unfortunately the Apple Bluetooth headset is not what you are looking for: doesn’t have a volume control in the unit, nor call mute or last number redial. There is no noise-cancellation, the earpiece is too big, the battery can’t hold a charge and fails to deliver the full potential of the iPhone.
The number of Bluetooth headsets continues to grow rapidly making the choosing of a headset for your iPhone not so simple. Here’s our advice: Of all the brands, two are the leaders: Plantronics and Aliph.
1.Plantronics
In 1960 the speed and complexity of jet airliners caused a need for the introduction of small, lightweight headsets into the cockpit. Courtney Graham, a United Airline pilot, collaborated with his friend Keith Larkin to create a small, functional design which was robust enough to pass airlines standards. On May 18 1961 Graham and Larkin incorporate as Pacific Plantronics (now Plantronics Inc.) Ever after that the company keeps developing and still stands in the top of the headsets industry.
2.Aliph
Aliph is a company founded by Alexander Asseily and Hosain Rahman. Aliph is the developer of the Jawbone Bluetooth headset which revolutionized the wireless industry with its noise elimination technology and innovative design. Jawbone uses “NoiseAssassin” adaptive signal processing technology that Aliph developed for DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), processing incoming and outgoing audio to reduce background noise in military environments. In 2007, the headset was awarded an International CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award.
So now you may have the direction to find your Bluetooth headset for your iPhone. Better get going, you still have a lot of work to do before you can finally find the perfect one!
