My Blue Tooth

If you're a techie like me, you may have heard about the Jawbone bluetooth earpiece (for a cell phone) and wonder if it's worthwhile. I give it an enthusiastic "2-thumbs up". If I had another thumb, it would get that too.

I first heard about it from one of the kids who works at Best Buy . They didn't have it in stock at the time, so I found it online cheaper. This is the first earpiece that has really worked well for me. It has different attachments to fit the size of your ear, and the edge of it sits on your jaw and picks up sound that way rather than through a speaker. It has a noise-cancelling feature that is amazing. Here's how I accidentally tested it out:

I had pulled into my garage and was sitting there talking to my sister on the phone. Dear Hubby sneaked up to the side of my car and pounded on the window. I screamed! Then I apologized to my sister for screaming in her ear and she said, "What?" She had only heard a little squeak because it filtered out the loud noise. Later I tested it as I ran my noisy blender while on the phone. The other party could barely hear the blender in the background. Cool, huh?

But the most important feature is that you can hear people and they can hear you. That's all you need to know. One sister has trouble fitting it to her ear, but then she has very little ears and has that problem with other earpieces too.

I actually have two of these -- amazingly I was able to find a Bluetooth home phone. I am on the phone SO much, it helps a lot to be able to move around the house hands-free. I love my Jawbone. If you're in the market for a good earpiece, give this one a try.
