Wires everywhere. In consumer products, we've seen a gradual elimination of wires in favor of wireless convenience — virtually all TVs and stereos now come with a wireless controller — usually a simple line-of-sight infrared remote. This same wireless convenience is now available outside the home including the Bluetooth technology. Bluetooth is a wireless specification that was created in the late 1990s when nine communications and computer companies — Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Nokia, Toshiba, Motorola, 3Com, Lucent and Microsoft — agreed to support this common standard so their various products could communicate with one another, without wires. Plantronics quickly joined this "consortium" as member #20, and was the first headset company; now there are over 2100 companies in the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). A Wireless World A key difference between Bluetooth and other wireless technologies is that it's designed as a short-range, low power, and ultimately, a low cost standard. For example, 802.11 (also called WiFi), is an increasingly popular wireless technology used in many companies, and even in retail locations, such as coffee houses (often called "hotspots.") 802.11 is a long-range solution allowing connectivity to a large network, but no mobile phones today are enabled with this technology. That's where Bluetooth comes in. Bluetooth is designed to let smaller, personal devices communicate wirelessly — getting rid of "cable clutter" by eliminating the wires. Because Bluetooth can communicate up to 30 feet, and is very power efficient, it's ideal for a variety of products, including PDAs, mobile phones…and headsets. Wireless Headsets - Cutting the Cord Bluetooth headsets deliver all the benefits of their corded telephone headsets – hands-free convenience, ergonomic comfort and excellent sound quality – but without the wire that can get tangled in a pocket or purse. But not all Bluetooth headsets are created equal. While Bluetooth technology is a standard, headset design and experience are not.     Available BlueTooth Headsets on JandVDirect.com
