A Bluetooth speakerphone (also Bluetooth Portable car kit) is hands-free cells phone device that attaches to a car visor, pairing with your Bluetooth enabled cell phone to provide higher quality speakerphone. Most cell phones have a Speakerphone built in, but the quality is not always to good and you are not hands free when using this function on your cell phone.
In many states within the U.S. it is now illegal to use a cell phone when driving unless it can be used with a hands-free device. If you only want hands free capability when in your car the Bluetooth Speakerphone is the product you will want to consider. The nice thing about a Bluetooth speakerphone is that is does not need to be worn and should provide superior audio quality.

WHAT is a BLUETOOTH HEADSET?


You've all seen them, those things hooked to people's ears that make them look like they just walked out of a Si- Fi movie. When we see people walking down the street, apparently talking to themselves, sometimes in a rather animated way, it might not be a mental issue, they could be talking on a Bluetooth Headset.
A Bluetooth headset is a wireless device that connects one to cell phones, PCs, laptops, digital cameras, printers and even video game consoles. It has worldwide range capabilities and a short-range radio frequency. The distance a Bluetooth headset can pick calls is about 33 feet from the power source, mainly your cell phone. There are some exceptions to the rule when it comes to the Office Headsets. As most of them have a booster built in that lets them range up to 1000 feet depending on the model. The Bluetooth headset device also uses a radio communications system, and as long as the signal can be picked up, so can you. Understand, that in order to make a Bluetooth headset work, Bluetooth headset must be compatible with the device with which you wish to communicate.  As new Bluetooth Protocols are written and implemented compatibility is becoming less and less of an issue.
One of the most positive aspects of Bluetooth headset capability is that it allows hands-free use. Especially with new laws on the books regarding people driving with cell phones, a Bluetooth headset offers a safe alternative, and yet allows necessary communication between parties or hardware. A Bluetooth headset also allows users to transfer data from the headset to a destination such as a palm pilot as well. The younger groups will appreciate the fact that a Bluetooth headset can control gaming consoles such as Play station 3, Nintendo, and new Wii technologies.
Bluetooth technology isn't limited to the Bluetooth headset. It's also found in just about any newer types of electronic and computer equipment being made.  Bluetooth technology is more user friendly today than when it was first introduced to the public around 1998. Major companies such as Intel, Nokia, Sony and IBM have all taken advantage of Bluetooth technology and developed products and services to support it.  You can purchase a Bluetooth Headset at gohandsfreeusa.com
