Bluetooth Wireless Headset

Bluetooth wireless headset provides a more convenient, hands-free way to use your cell phone. They’re especially useful when you don’t have a hand available to hold your phone. And with the wireless signal, you can actually move a few feet away from your cell phone and still keep access to it. Bluetooth technology is everywhere. More and more cell phones and MP3 players will support Bluetooth wireless headsets. Also, many states now ban drivers from using hand held phones, but allow hands-free calls

How to operate Bluetooth Wireless Headset:

Step 1:  Charge your Bluetooth headset.

Step 2: Turn on your cell phone. If you’re not sure whether your phone is Bluetooth-compatible, check the Match Devices website under Resources.

Step 3: Turn on the Bluetooth wireless headset by pressing the power button on the side.

Step 4: Check for an icon (usually a triangle) on your cell phone screen. This shows that your cell phone is picking up the signal from your Bluetooth wireless headset. If it isn’t, go to the Menu on your phone. Scroll to the Connections menu. Click on Bluetooth, and then click Find Bluetooth. Once your Bluetooth wireless headset appears on the menu, click Connect, and then click OK.

Step 5: Place the Bluetooth wireless headset earpiece in your ear. Most models have a hook of sorts that wraps behind your ear. The large section with buttons is the earpiece.

Step 6: Press the call button on the front of the earpiece to make or receive calls, and to hang up. Pressing this button answers your cell phone when it rings. If you press it to make a call, the device will prompt you for the name of whoever you want to call. Speak the name. The device will then repeat the name.

Bluetooth Stereo

Bluetooth stereo headphones and Bluetooth stereo headsets allow you to wirelessly listen to digital-quality music with your computer, MP3 player, home stereo, cellular phone, or any other device that supports Bluetooth stereo audio.

Bluetooth stereo audio is one of the fastest growing Bluetooth applications and the second largest overall application in the Bluetooth arsenal, just behind hands free communication for cellular phones. As a result, Bluetooth stereo headphones and Bluetooth stereo headsets have become extremely popular among manufacturers and users alike

Benefits of Bluetooth Stereo:

Wireless Streaming of Digital Audio

Bluetooth devices using the A2DP Bluetooth Profile (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) offer stereo quality audio which can be streamed wirelessly from a media source to the headset / headphones.Â

Convenience

The convenience of wireless Bluetooth stereo audio is incredible. You can walk around your home with your Bluetooth stereo headphones and not have to worry about carrying your iPod or MP3 player around with you. You also won’t have an annoying wire dangling around your neck. You can stream music from your laptop, PC, TV, DVD player, home stereo, or MP3 player.

You will also find them very useful while exercising or for any other activity which requires increased motion. We have all seen people who have iPods strapped to their arms with a pair of wired headphones dangling in their faces. Looks rather annoying, doesn’t it? Next time you are at the gym, take a look around and see how many people actually spend more time messing with their headphones than they do working out. With Bluetooth stereo headphones or a Bluetooth stereo headset, just keep your iPod / MP3 player within range of where you are and you can continue to comfortably workout. Most Bluetooth stereo headphones and Bluetooth stereo headsets offer a range of up to 30 ft. Some of the newer models, using the latest Bluetooth technology, have an extended range of over 60 ft.

CD Sound Quality

When most people think of wireless audio, they usually think sound quality will be compromised. Surprisingly, sound quality is exceptional with most Bluetooth stereo headphones / headsets. It is very comparable to high-fidelity, digital CD quality. In most cases, the sound quality is as good as if it were coming from a pair of wired headphones.

Bluetooth Earpiece

Bluetooth earpiece is designed to allow hands-free talking and calling on cell phones and PDAs. Many devices including laptops, phones, and gaming systems recognize Bluetooth-equipped technology and can be used in conjunction with a Bluetooth earpiece. One of the main functions of the Bluetooth earpiece is the ability to not only answer, but make, outgoing phone calls.

Bluetooth headsets are great for an easy, wireless conversation with anyone on your cell phone. Use it to keep your hands free for washing the dishes, doing laundry, walking around the mall or driving in your car. They are also compatible now to use with your home or office computer

How to connect a Bluetooth Earpiece:Â

Step 1- Put your Bluetooth Earpiece device in discovery mode. Most Bluetooth-enabled cell phones, PDAs and computers have a separate Bluetooth utility (generally found in a settings or options area that manages Bluetooth connections). Once you find this utility, look for an icon or link that says, “Find Bluetooth device” or “Enable discovery mode.”

Step 2 – Activate your Bluetooth earpiece. Most Bluetooth headsets can be activated by pressing the blue “Call” icon twice. However, if you have a premium Bluetooth Earpiece (like a Jabra or Jawbone) then you may need to follow a different activation procedure. See your owner’s manual for more on this.

Step 3 – Allow a connection to be formed. One your device find your Bluetooth earpiece, it will ask you if you want to form a link between the two. Simply click “Yes” or “OK” to link your Bluetooth earpiece to your device.

Step 4 – Test your connection. If you are using a computer or a phone, the easiest way to do this is to initiate a chat or phone call and see if you can interact with the other party. If you are using your Bluetooth earpiece with a PDA, try performing some basic functions with the earpiece.Â

Setting up Bluetooth Headsets:

Before you set up your Bluetooth Headsets to work with your cell phone or any other device that supports it (examples being both the PlayStation 3 and the XBox 360 game consoles), it is important that you charge the headset wholly. Having the headset turn off in the middle of setup will not do any everlasting harm, but it will force you to restart the procedure. When this is done, the Bluetooth headsets, as well as the device you are attempting to use it with, both needs to be powered up.Â

To begin the setup process, the device you will be using your headset with must be put in “Pairing” mode. This is the mode that tells it to search for compatible Bluetooth headsets. All cell phones and other devices are different, but the option for this is almost always found under some kind of “Connections” or likewise titled sub menu of the device’s options menu. At this time, the Bluetooth headset must also be put in pairing mode. Depending on the model of headset, it may be referred to as “Sync” mode in the user’s manual.

Once the Bluetooth headset and the device are in pairing mode at the same time, the device will begin to scan the area for everything that supports a Bluetooth signal. This scan usually takes about 60 seconds. At the end of the scan, the device will display a list of everything in the area that supports Bluetooth and is in “pairing” mode-the only device on the list should be your Bluetooth headsets. Highlight the headset on the list and select “OK.” You are now ready to use your Bluetooth headsets wherever you go. Â
