New Toy
I got my V-Day present from Mac. Early, but I’ll be glad to have it next week. He got me a new bluetooth headset to replace the old Jabara headset that I had and quit using a long time ago. It kept unpairing with the phone, and it was too big for my ear and not adjustable, so I had to hold it on.
I now have a Plantronics 925* headset. It has three sizes of eartips, the middle one keeps it in my ear, but it starts to feel slightly uncomfortable after a bit. I may try the smallest one. It also has multipoint, so it is paired with my laptop and my iPhone. We tested it today to see what kind of range I can get. I connected it to my laptop and sat on our bed. Mac carried my laptop around the house. Once he took it into the basement, it started getting static, but I could still hear it. I tried to answer a call with it, but it didn’t work. However, I accidentally pressed the button while I was putting it in the charging case, and my phone started dialing Mac, so it will control the phone. I can use it to listen to music, but it quite monotone, and after a bit, it bothers my ear just like all the other ear buds I’ve ever tried to use. It will work great for calls without being tied to cables and that mute button that I frequently press by accident. And if I wear it during the day while I’m working, I’ll know when my phone is ringing because it will beep in my ear. The biggest drawback of not having a landline is that I miss calls because my phone is charging in the other room or in my bag, and I don’t hear it. Just like the Rock Chalk call I missed the other day.
*Thankfully, it wasn’t the price listed on that site. Don’t buy it from there.
RCJ was the highlight of my day, that day.
