PlumberCta asks: "Did you see any (Bluetooth headsets) that work easily for people with eyeglasses?"


That's a great question, and one I haven't thought of before, even though I also wear eyeglasses. I didn't see anything specifically for those of us who wear glasses, but I think the headsets I mention below will fit your needs. One of my favorites from last year, also shown at this year's show, was Motorola's H5 Miniblue headset. This headset is not available yet but would be a perfect solution. It basically rests inside the ear, and since it doesn't have a mouthpiece, it picks up your voice through the ear canal so the other party can hear you loud and clear.

The good news is that there are other Bluetooth headsets available without the over-the-ear piece that would interfere with your eyeglasses. Here are just a few of them: 

There are many models available, so you just have to find one that works for you. Samsung also has over-the-ear headsets that accommodate hearing aids, if anyone's interested I linked to their webpage.

    what about headsets that don't sit in the ear that won't interfere with glasses. i can barely wear headphones that sit in the ear, they irritate my ear, making it sore. is this even an option?

    Love this question! I'm new to the Bluetooth and live in the sunny South where you wear sunglasses all the time. Sunglasses and Bluetooth earpieces are not a comfortable combination. I can't wait to hear more about earpieces that pick up your voice from the ear canal.

    Oakley makes sunglasses with an attached Bluetooth receiver. http://oakley.com/o/o2261d best of both worlds. However the voice over ear canal sounds very "24"
