@QuietDelusions Buy a Plantronics office-style bluetooth base station off ebay and set it up. I did this and used it with different brand bluetooth headset just fine. Exact setup depends on phone and compatibilities, etc. I used a Plantronics Voyager A500 base station like this one.
@BumbleBee My headset would pair with two things, so I’d listen to music from my iPhone, then swap to my office phone/Plantronics base station for conference calls.
I had a pair of these 15 years ago. #1. Any place where the specs say music the answer is very poorly.
#2 any place where it indicates an advanced feature it should read very poorly. It reminds me of the very first volkswagons, it is a car but only by the thinnest of margins. If you get one of the refurbished models of drivers model that has a massive milky stain contact me. After a DNA test I may be interested in a purchase. I lost it at my junior prom and the sentimental value is significant.
The copy on this is bulls#&t. I have a Plantronics, over ear blue tooth, brand new on Amazon for $29 and it’s amazing. Better specs than this. 11 hours of talk time. And it looks like it was made in this century, not like this Crap. I’ve had every brand of blue tooth headset. Jabra is not good. Go with a Plantronics, new, for your best bet. And you don’t even need to spend anything more.
I have an earlier version (Supreme), and it’s great. My employer got it for me back when I worked in a cube, and I took it with me when I started working remote full time, so it was repurposed for personal use (moving halfway across the country means more/longer phone calls). It’s comfortable enough to use for ~2 hours with no issues, and it holds a charge for weeks if it’s folded up. I’m not much one for refurbs, but if you’re looking for a good one for cheap, this looks good to me.
I’ve been using this for 6 months now. It has been reliable, holds its charge and voices are consistently clear.
The earpiece must be removed from the headset to power off, which is mildly inconvenient but no big deal.
I’ve found that a binder clip on the edge of a table will hold the headset at the ready.

Why would I spend $30 on a headset that looks like it cost $5? Meh.
@mdszy I was thinking the same thing.
@mdszy Because the other persons (Refurb) ear wax is valuable?
@mdszy Time Life books infomercial cosplay obvs
@Stallion It is. Check out Emmas Gift Nook. Big money in this hit popup franchise.
Feel like you’re working in a call center, now in the comfort of your own car!
The description says
…but the pictures show the opposite?
@brhfl beat me to it
@brhfl @pantheist: @kylethephotoguy is out so I’m filling in and obviously suck at it
@Moose - Well, you did a very fine job on the clickface, if that was you.
Either the pictures or the description is wrong about supreme / drivers
The Driver Edition: for when you don’t want to look douchey by wearing the Supreme headset while driving.
Also the title says Refurbished but the Specs say new? So it’s… Newly refurbished?

Head games I guess – speak up – can u hear me now?
@AttyVette I hear you just fine. It’s not like you’re a foreigner speaking in tongues.
@mike808 , courtesy flush
So if I get the $34 version I get a headband…right?
Hey Jason… it is because they are selling the one ears to businesses… so you price them higher and hire attractive sales people to sell them.
@thismyusername Its too bad the salesperson doesn’t come with the product. They really need to make that more clear.
The picture labels have to be reversed.
Looking at Amazon, I think the driver edition goes over the head. Does it also include the ear hook?
@rmeden also waiting for this answer before I order
@rmeden is there any version that doesn’t use a driver?
Are Bluetooth headsets still a thing? I thought this kinda went out with the Bush administration…
@ruouttaurmind Bush never goes out
@Bkmack Bush only grows out.
condition: new?
these are absolutely useless for margaritas
@alacrity You could use it to order ahead from Drive-Thru Margaritas.
Got SO excited since I work full time from home doing a call center job…until I figured out my work phone doesn’t do bluetooth. sob
@QuietDelusions sad!
@QuietDelusions
@mike808 K - you made me snort. Though I’ve been telecommuting 11 years now. Dunno if that makes it better, or worse.

I’m deployed in Afghan, will this connect with my camel?
@k9mckaig Filtered or unfiltered?
@k9mckaig Does your camel have blue teeth?
@heartny _ The key is do you connect with your camel, you jockey you.
Got one! Thanks buyowner!

@Bkmack Pretty sure that was the only thing you lost at prom, then. Thanks for sharing the bro-fail.
Who really gives a rat’s ass what others say? It works for me.
The guy in the shuttle is huge!
@JonJon Yuuuuuuuge!
I want this just so I can walk around McDonald’s wearing it screaming. “welcome! can I take your order?”

This is 3 generations old in terms of BT-headsets, like a W140 Merc in a era of W222.
Too bad my dayjob computer doesn’t have bluetooth. I’d get one just to avoid the annoyance of my too short cord on the POS headsets of theirs we use.
Oh, meh! For the money, I will take one, over-the-head. Ugly or not, police give tickets here for driving and talking without one.
