Smallest Bluetooth Headset

Bluetooth headsets have become increasingly popular in recent years. More people are using their mobile phones more than ever. This increase in usage coincides with many states restricting mobile phone usage while driving a car.

Consequently, between state vehicle regulations and people discovering that mobile phones are not the most comfortable things to hold against your head for long conversations, many people are buying and using two-way headsets for their mobile phones.

Bluetooth headsets are designed to be as small and as light as possible. Unlike traditional wired telephone headsets that go completely over the head, Bluetooth wireless headsets are designed to attach only to the users ear. Some models of Bluetooth headsets have wrap around the users ear while others simply sit inside the users ear.

This design necessitates a compact and light-weight headset. Some manufacturers have successfully produced some extremely small Bluetooth headsets in the quest to produce the smallest Bluetooth headset.

There are certainly some advantages of small Bluetooth headsets. Many Bluetooth headset users complain that their wireless headset is too bulky or too heavy. Another frequent complaint about Bluetooth headsets is that users feel that the headset flops around too much and they are afraid of losing the headset when turning their head or moving around.

This is a valid concern because Bluetooth wireless headsets are not inexpensive. Some people pay more for their Bluetooth headset than they pay for their mobile phone! Manufacturers attempt to make Bluetooth headsets small and light to help alleviate these complaints.

Ultra-light and ultra-small Bluetooth headsets tend to me more comfortable for users to wear while they are talking on their mobile phones.

The smallest Bluetooth wireless headsets are only around the size of a coin. The smallest Bluetooth headsets are weighed in grams rather than ounces because they are so light. The small size and light weight of the smallest Bluetooth headsets are very popular features with consumers.

Some consumers report certain disadvantages to small Bluetooth headsets though. One immediately noticeable drawback to the smallest Bluetooth headsets is their price.

The smallest Bluetooth headsets often cost several hundred dollars whereas a standard Bluetooth headset will cost less than one hundred dollars. The high cost dissuades many consumers from trying out the smallest Bluetooth headsets.

Another complaint about the very small Bluetooth headsets is that the control buttons can be confusing and difficult to operate. The smallest wireless headsets usually only have two or perhaps three control buttons. These buttons are usually very small and are used for multiple functions. Many consumers find the controls too confusing.

Another disadvantage to small Bluetooth headsets is actually their size. In an ironic twist, many consumers find them just too small. The small batteries result in limited talk time and standby time.

These wireless headsets also fit directly into the ear and many users fear losing their expensive Bluetooth headset because it is not securely attached to their ear.

There is an ongoing debate as to which Bluetooth headset is the smallest. Manufacturers are continually trying to outdo each other by developing a smaller headset with each company claiming that theirs is the smallest wireless headset on the market. There are actually several ways to measure the headset - weight, length, thickness, or shape.

There are several headsets that are in competition for the smallest Bluetooth headset designation though. The Nextlink Bluespoon arguably leads the field though Samsung and Anycom also have very small Bluetooth headsets on the market.

Manufacturers are sure to continue making Bluetooth wireless headsets smaller. As microchip and battery technology continue to advance manufacturers will be able to produce smaller and smaller Bluetooth wireless headsets.
