Whether you’re all credit crunched up or still have a few pennies to spare check out these bluetooth headsets whatever your budget.

Skinted: Jabra BT2050 Bluetooth Headset

The BT2050 by Jabra shows you don’t have to sacrifice style for comfort and convenience.

It’s neat and cute looking with automatic pairing, simple four button interface and clear sound quality, the BT2050 is easy to set up and a nice to use.

It’s perfect if you’re after great design, decent quality, good performance and it won’t break the bank either.

Available online for £16.99. Check out Jabra BT2050 for more details.

Minted: Jawbone PRIME - Ear Candy Edition

This is a super sexy looking headset. Sleek and stylish, Jawbone eliminates real world noise better than any other bluetooth headset because it is the only headset that can accurately separate speech from ambient noise. It has excellent sound quality, noise cancelling technology and also comes in lots of nice different colours.

This headset is high style and high performance but also comes at a high price. Available online for around £80. Check out Jawbone PRIME for more details.

BTW: What is Bluetooth?

Bluetooth wireless technology is a radio technology developed to deliver short-range wireless mobility. Bluetooth technology eliminates wires between devices, such as mobile phones and headsets, and enables communication between devices that are in close proximity to one another. Bluetooth facilitates fast, secure transmissions.

This all seems a bit bonkaz but it’s actually quite practical. It’s a smart piece of in car bluetooth hands free kit that doubles as a rear view mirror.  The best thing is there is no wiring or tricky installation required.

You simply clip it over your existing mirror, charge it in the lighter socket (doesn’t require continuous plugging) and you have your very own hands free kit for up to 15 hours talk time.  The microphone and speaker are cleverly integrated into the mirror surround and the caller id is displayed on the mirror itself so you don’t even have to take your eyes off the road to see who is calling.

It also comes with a bluetooth headset which sits neatly in the unit so if you want to continue talking when  you get out the car you just detach it and away you go.

I think the best thing about this for me is its ease of installation so no wires no complicated set up and the time that saves by not having to get it installed in the car by someone else. And it’s pretty cheap. You can get it online for around £60 at www.udiggit.com

For all you Dior die hards out there at last some images have emerged of the new Dior phone available later this year. The phone will initally go on sale in Russia and China the reason being there is greater demand for these types of phones over there - high design with an equally high price tag.

Specifications are still a bit sketchy but features will include a touchscreen, camera and special ringtones although not quite sure what constitutes a ’special’ ringtone’ ?!

The exciting bit is the clip on mini phone that comes with the handset aptly named “My Dior” . This connects via bluetooth to the phone so the user can answer calls more easily, sounds fun if not a bit gimmicky.

It comes in pink,red and white and the price tag - a bling -ing $5000 !
