What Is a Bluetooth® Earpiece?
A Bluetooth® earpiece is a type of wireless hands-free headset. The earpiece usually fits over or in a person’s ear and allows him to hear and communicate over the phone, completely hands-free. An earpiece like this is called Bluetooth® for its type of technology, which uses radio waves. This allows for things like phones, computers, printers, PDAs, and GPS devices to communicate with each other, without using wires or cables. One of the most popular uses of a Bluetooth® earpiece is for talking on a cell phone without having to hold the phone to the ear or deal with wired headsets. For example, a person may purchase a Bluetooth® earpiece that fits in the ear, much like the type of ear bud used with headphones. With this device, he can talk on the phone, fix his eyes on the road, and keep his hands firmly on the wheel. This is important not only for avoiding accidents, but also for staying on the right side of the law. Some places have laws that render it illegal to talk on a phone whil
