<\/a>First off, it’s very small and light. I can carry it comfortably in a shirt pocket and at times I forget I’m wearing it on my ear. That’s why you see people wearing them even when they’re not talking on the phone. I can also hear environmental sounds easily while wearing it.<\/p>\nSecondly, the sound quality is as good or better than any wired hands-free that I’ve used. This, I didn’t expect. I’ve heard nary a comment on my sound quality and I can always hear my counterpart quite well, even in noisy environments.<\/p>\n
I like that there is one less wire in my life and that keeping it charged isn’t as much of a hassle as I thought it would be. I just bundled together the business ends of my phone and earpiece chargers so I plug them both in every night in the same 6-inch square on my desk.<\/p>\n
Now for the tricky part of using bluetooth: When you first get the thing and start using it, you have to adjust to there being another piece to the phone. Numerous times I found myself picking up the phone, saying “Hello? Hello?” without a peep from the other end. This is the short training period where you go: Ok, the phone is ringing, I’m going to answer it, but first I’d better get that earpiece so I don’t sound like an idiot screaming “Where’s that #$#@% earpiece!” from across the room.<\/p>\n
One other glitch: the earpiece seems to sleep on me sometimes, like when I charge it. Then when I go to make a call in the morning, I need to double check that indeed the earpiece is connected(either via the Treo’s bluetooth icon or beeps from the earpiece itself).<\/p>\n
All-in-all, bluetooth earpieces are great with Treo 650’s. I can’t say how you’ll like using it with your phone but I quite enjoy: less wires and good sound quality. Oh and for the time being, wearing a bluetooth earpiece is cooler than geckos that never saved me a ton of money on my car insurance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
My Treo 650 has served me well. I am continually learning to use it’s many features and support it with accessories. For the first few months, I struggled with a couple of different earpieces that I used in the car and elsewhere. Recently, I misplaced my wired Jabra and decided to break down and go […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-42","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-default"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidsterry.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidsterry.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidsterry.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidsterry.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidsterry.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=42"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/davidsterry.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/42\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/davidsterry.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=42"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidsterry.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=42"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/davidsterry.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=42"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
