- Bluetooth provides a way for different devices to communicate with each other by sending data via a secure, low-cost, short-range radio frequency.
- Up to seven connections can be made at one time, at a speed of 1 Mbps and has a range of 30 feet (10 meters). All that's needed for any two Bluetooth-enabled devices to work is for them to be paired, a hassle-free "handshaking" process for establishing a connection that takes seconds. Remember your cell phone has to be bluetooth enabled for the pairing to work.
- Bluetooth headsets have sleek, light and fashionable designs to suit anyone's style/needs
- They tend to be relatively expensive, but are a worthwhile investment for people who talk a lot on their cell phones.
- Most models clip on to one ear and have a short boom mic, although headsets with complete headbands are also available.
- Unlike conventional headsets, bluetooth headsets are powered by rechargeable batteries and need to be charged to work.
- Stereo Bluetooth headsets are becoming increasingly popular as you can listen to your MP3 player and switch to take a phone call from your cell phone. I would recommend IOGear Wireless Bluetooth Stereo Headset
 for the people who like to be ahead on the technology trend.

Bluetooth car kits are available to integrate your bluetooth-ready phone with a hands-free system in your car. Be sure to check what kind of kit will work with your phone.
