Last week we broke open our new Plantronics Discover 925 Bluetooth Headset for a test.  It has a somewhat unique v-frame design and single large button.

Features include -

We are very picky about our Bluetooth headsets.  Both comfort and sound quality are hugely important.  The Discovery 925 has become one of our favorites.  The caller on the other end cannot tell the headset is being used and the quality of the speaker makes it easy to understand the caller.  It is comfortable to wear and has multiple gels for different sized ears.  Overall we would give the Plantronics Discovery 925 an 8 out of 10.

If like many you have ditched the landline and gone totally to a cell phone line or use both, the new Grace Digital XLink Bluetooth Gateways may be a product of interest.

The Bluetooth gateway can be used with a bluetooth enabled cell phone and home phones.  The system allows you to talk on your home phones by way of your cell phone thus positioning your cell phone in an area of your home with a strong signal.

This is a great way to keep your cell phone charging and connected while you talk on the line using a standard cordless phone.  The unit works well and does as promised.

The Tooth Fairy Bluetooth Headset Carrier from Nite Ize allows you to have a secured place to store your headset while not in use. 

It is made with genuine leather and has a strong, leather-covered flex clip on the back allowing you to conveniently attach the carrier to a sunvisor, belt, purse, etc. 

It features a convenient pull tab for fast and easy storage of your headset. 

The X-strap system design allows versatility and securely holds most wireless headsets vertically or horizontally in place. 

We found the carrier worked as promised and provided a good way to carry a bluetooth headset.  It was comfortable to put on a belt and securely held the headset in it.
