Bluetooth headsets are necessary, but no matter how cool they try to make them look, not everyone wants to wear an earpiece for fear of looking like a dork or a cyborg. Jabra is doing something different with its BT3030 Bluetooth device. Shaped like a dog tag, the BT3030, can be worn around the neck or clipped onto a bag or jacket for easy access.

It connects to two Bluetooth devices, so you can pair it with a phone and a laptop at the same time, and listen to music without worrying about missing any calls. The tag has a microphone that picks up your voice, and features several control buttons to answer calls, play, pause, rewind or fast forward the music.

What I like the most about this device is you can use your own headphones with it. The whole setup comes with a removable chain, clip, headphones, and power supply. The cool street stylin' dog tag is available for $79 on Jabra's website.

    I would have to agree that would have to be one of the most dumbest idea ever. I mean come on, Jabra is a very good company that usally has some pretty good ideas and concepts,However this was not the case. I am going to have to ask that they come better than that.

    This is good for me. I own an HTC Tilt. There is only one set of headphones that are compatible with my phone, and they are the worst earbuds you've ever tried to cram in your ears. The only other option is blue tooth, and most blue tooth headsets do not allow you to listen to music. I realize why most people won't need this item, but it is a useful invention for some.
