Bluetooth usage declines in U.S.
Share:
And let's face it, many of today's newer cell models have so many different functions that require the user to glance at the screen. Web browsing, watching YouTube, streaming videos-these all take advantage of the amazing looking screens being produced today. And while you wouldn't want to look at the display while driving, you certainly might find yourself walking on the street or in the mall looking at your handset's display instead of just listening to audio via a Bluetooth headset.

Not to mention, Bluetooth service just sucks! The company that "invented" this disastrous, pathetic attempt at low power communications should be taken from the stock exchange and shot. Most vendors earpieces are garbage, to make the poorly designed service even worse. The batteries in them usually go bad within a couple of months and then you must buy another whole device. To make matters worse, you can't find wired headsets for cell phones anymore. BLUETOOTH: a waste of money no matter who makes the headset.

Grow up and get with this century. Everything you said is completely NOT true, I am listenening to crystal clear stereo bluetooth right now with my phone 30 feet away and have been for 7 hours. Eat that! Fair&Balanced: A waste of my time no matter what he writes

I agree with Quemical, although a lot of manufacturers do sell low quality products, you can still find a good quality bluetooth. You really get what you're paying for. As for the lack of wired headsets, check Wal Mart. I've seen them there pretty recently, I think you're looking the wrong places. If Bluetooth is such a failure, you should put together a better solution and sell it.

God forbid people actually USE a bluetooth for its intended purpose.

Why does everyone need to hate on everybody else? I would say most people don't wear headsets to make them cool, instead they purchased them and use them for a purpose. I don't personally use one, but that's my personal choice. I don't have a need for one, a lot of people do.

The only time I ever used my bluetooth headset was in the car, and for me it was much easier to just plug in my wired headset and use that. With a five foot cord and my phone one foot from me, I have no need for a bluetooth headpiece.

Although the use of Bluetooth headsets has declined, I would tend to think Bluetooth as technology is more widely used. I don't use headsets, as I have no need for the, but I do use Bluetooth for wireless tethering, file transfers, etc... Again, you can use a cord, but sometimes it's not convenient. If you're on a laptop and carrying it from one place to another, it's nice to have your phone in the holster and still maintain internet access.
