Using a Bluetooth headset

Posted by UserTester at February 25. 2008
The Nokia Bluetooth headset I tried was very reliable if you are close to the microphone, but I’m not impressed with the comfort of the headset ear hook, and the wires look like an orthodontic appliance.

Connecting and pairing the Bluetooth headset with the Nokia 6126 was easy once I found it - settings\connectivity\bluetooth\Paired devices\options\pair new device . . . kind of deep (in the menu) isn’t it? And I found the on/off button (on the headset) to be very tiny.

As a person that really depends on my bluetooth so I can operate my power wheelchair and talk on phone at same time, I have tried a number of different models and brands but I am not truly happy with any of them.  Does anyone have any suggestions about which ones are good?

Several people who have responded to the Wireless RERC Survey of User Needs (SUN) have mentioned that the small size of Bluetooth controls are a problem.  Is this what you mean?

I know two people that use the JawBone bluetooth headset and they really like them. The sound quality is above par due to its military-grade sound filtering (or something like that).

I would like to hear more about specifically why you have been dissatisfied with your bluetooth headsets.   Several folks enjoy using a switch adapted bluetooth headset so that the headset button is easy to use through your own favorite switch that plugs into it.    There are a couple of websites listed below for a switch adapted bluetooth headset. The products allow a user to use any adaptive switch to activate the bluetooth headset in order to offer a voice command to a voice enabled cellphone. The best cell phones to use with this are the ones that offer user independent voice recognition from the cell phone's address book.

I can't comment on the comfort of them if that was more of the concern.  I have been told that these products are a bit fragile.
