There are a couple of different styles available.  There are ones that go in your ear canal and ones that go over the ear.  Ones placed inside the ear are more secure, but less comfortable.  Headsets placed over the ear are held in place by a loop that goes around your ear.  They are more prone to fall off, but generally feel more comfortable.

The price will depend on different features.  Are you looking for something less expensive, like the  .  Or perhaps you’re going for something more high-end such as Blue Ant’s X5 (a behind-the-ear model worn on both ears).

When considering what features you want, ask yourself these questions:

Can I wear both the headset and a pair of glasses comfortably, or will one interfere with the other?Will my ears be sore if I wear the headset for a long period of time?  It is awkward to put on or does it fall off easy?Can I hear the other person well?  Can they hear me?Is it easy to adjust the controls?How’s the battery life?  (In other words, will I spend more time charging it than using it?)  Does it warn you if battery power is low?If I have problems, how well is customer service?  (This is a BIG one…I’ve worked in customer service personally, and a lot of what you’re told is to give customers is the big run-around.  I suggest searching online and reading customer reviews regarding support.  Another option is just after buying the phone, you could pretend you’re having a problem with it and call up support to see if you’re satisfied with how they do their job.)There’s no denying the convenience of having a Bluetooth headset.  It should be simple to pair, simple to operate, and make your day more convenient.  You can find them anywhere, from your local Wal-Mart to various computer outlets to online vendors.  Decide what works best for you and make sure and read the warranty information carefully.  Then go out and get you one!
