Great Tips On How To Buy Wired Headset?

Many states are making it illegal to drive when using a cell phone unless you are wearing a hands free headset. As of right now, you can either get a wired headset, or a wireless Bluetooth headset. Each type has its own distinct advantages, but in this buying guide only wired headsets will be covered.

Compatibility: You want to make sure that the headset is compatible with your cell phone. Often times it will connect through your cell phones headphone or mini USB jack. Make sure that the headphone jack on your phone is the same size of the headsets input. For example, normal stereo headphone jacks are 3.5mm, but many cell phones use a 2.5mm headphone jack instead. If you get a headset that works with 3.5mm but your cell phone only takes 2.5mm, you wont be able to connect without getting an additional adapter.

Microphone: It might be of importance to you for the microphone to work well in noisy environments. Check to see if the headset's microphone has noise-canceling capabilities so that the person on the other end only hears you, not your surroundings.

Comfort: A headset with great features that isn't comfortable won't do you much, because you'll never want to wear it. The comfort level of headsets is more a matter of personal preference; but having an idea of the type of design you want can definitely help. Some models even come with ear gels in an attempt to increase the level comfort you experience. Make sure the headset is lightweight and is capable of being attached to your head securely, so it doesn't fall off every time you move.

Wire Length: Consider the length of the wire that is attached to the headset. If the wire is too short, it may require you to hold the cell phone closer to your head, which defeats the whole purpose. Make sure the wire is long enough so you can set your cell phone down and still have the headset on your head securely and comfortably.

In-Line Volume Control: You may want a headset in which you can control the volume from the headset itself, instead of controlling it with your phone. This isn't a necessity, but could be a feature that is important to you.

Features: Some headsets can transmit in stereo, allowing you to play music on the headset as well as for talking to others. This could be great if you are looking for headphones as well as a headset. Note that with this feature the cost associated with it goes up. Other features include buttons to pick up a phone call, to reject a call, to put a person on hold, or even to switch to the other line.

Definitions:

Noise-Canceling Microphone: A microphone that is designed to cancel surrounding noise so that it is not broadcasted or recorded.

Download Free Bluetooth Ringtones Now!

Downloading Bluetooth ringtones is very easy, assuming that you have a Bluetooth dongle to enable you to do it. A dongle costs less than $10, and can be used to interface between a PC or laptop and a Bluetooth activated cell phone.

Free ring tones can be found all over the internet, and even some of the better real tones are amazingly inexpensive. Your problem, having found one that you like, is how to get it onto your mobile phone, and how to get it activated once you have it there. That process is much simpler than you might believe. Many people purchase ringtones, and then find difficulty uploading them to their cell phone: don't let that be you. It's not difficult. Here's how.

First you need the dongle, unless your computer already has Bluetooth. An increasing number of new laptops are being launched with Bluetooth included, but if not then you need the dongle. It's nothing more than a device that plugs into you USB port in fact it looks just like a USB memory stick. Its purpose is to interface your computer with another Bluetooth device (i.e. your cell phone).

You will first have to install the dongle using an installation disk. That is just as simple as installing a printer or other device. Once that's been done, you have to activate it, and then switch your mobile phone to the Bluetooth option. You will likely find that somewhere on your 'settings' section, or equivalent. Each different make of cell phone has its own way of naming these things, but you are basically looking for Bluetooth, or the Bluetooth logo (two white triangles in the form of the letter B, on a blue background).

When you find it, activate it, and then find on your computer the downloaded free Bluetooth ringtones that you want to transfer to your cell phone. You can copy that and then use your computer to browse the folders on your mobile: when you do that it will be just like browsing any other folder structure. Once you have found where your ringtones are stored, just copy over those that you want to transfer.

Bluetooth will allow you to do that just as if you were transferring files from one folder or directory in your computer to another. You can either copy and past, as suggested above, or drag and drop the latter being particularly useful if you have two screens, or are using two windows on your computer, one for the PC and the other for your mobile phone.

That's all there is to it! It is as easy as that. The hardest job of the lot will be to get the free Bluetooth ringtones to transfer. In fact they are not really Bluetooth ringtones people only call them that because they use Bluetooth to upload them to their cell phones. They can be any type of ring tone, such as realtones or free MIDI ringtones. However, it doesn't matter what they call if they are free, and there are lots of free offers if you know where to look - and how to transfer them from your PC to your mobile!
