On my wife’s birthday I wanted to give her something really meaningful and not the typical perfume, flowers and jewelry routine. My wife is not that tech savvy so the techie gifts were not considered. What next? Bluetooth was the answer. A good useful gift and it had nothing which suggested that it was too techie. It is pure plug and play.

Bluetooth stereo headset is nothing but headphones and a microphone which you use with your music player as well as your iphone. No wires and no hassles of programming etc. Bluetooth is wireless technology simple.

BLUETOOTH STEREO SET

That alone prompted me to get the blue tooth headset or rather the stereo set for my wife. Another reason being that my wife just got herself an iPhone. Apple is definitely wow. I am jealous now as I want one for myself. The cost definitely is one thing that is preventing me from getting that.

Now here are a few things that you need to know about Bluetooth stereo sets.

In this there is a microphone which is not there when you buy Bluetooth headphones. Another thing is that if you have that old Sony Walkman (yes I am the older generation! ) then you can use these also but you will have to use what they call the small jack which can be plugged into the output jack and boom you are Bluetooth enabled.

WOMAN DRIVING

A lot of people view this wireless technology to be not safer as these operate on radio waves and chances of the brain getting damaged because of the waves is there. My point of view is that it is yet to be proved however you can read about bluetooth headset safety here.

Update – My wife’s reaction was just wow! Now she is so comfortable driving the car and listening to the music while doing her dishes that seeing her makes me jealous and proud ! I want to own an iphone and a Bluetooth headset.

Another Update – If you are a blackberry addict like me then make sure that you get a blackberry car charger.
