About the Apple iPhone

Best iPhone Bluetooth Headset

In the short time that Apple's new iPhone has been available, hundreds, perhaps thousands, of applications and benefits have been discovered for the device. Perhaps the most important benefit it offers is the way it streamlines your need for other electronics equipment. Contained in one small package, the iPhone can be used to listen to music, read and write email, get driving directions, surf the Web, and yes—make and receive telephone calls. Still, even with all of this,one of the most promising features is the iPhone's excellent, cutting-edge use of Bluetooth technology. With Bluetooth activated, the iPhone becomes a great way to add more portability and accessibility to the phone. But how do you best take advantage of iPhone's Bluetooth technology? And what is the best device to use with it?

It's no exaggeration to say there are hundreds of Bluetooth devices, most of which will work with the iPhone. Sorting through them to find the best ones for you and your iPhone can be overwhelming. Hopefully we can help you sort through the hodgepodge.

Many people like to have speaker-phones with their phone, but let there be no doubt: the most popular accessory to use with Bluetooth technology is the headset. The headset allows you to have ready access to the iPhone without the need to actually handle the phone or even to be near it. This is helpful because if you're in the ofice or driving down the road, it's not always easy to physically hold the phone to your ear.

So which headset would we recommend? The most popular one—and for good reason—is the Jawbone Noise Shield Bluetooth Headset.

You're going to find this headset is sensational. The signal quality is as good as you could ever want. Still, the thing that sets it apart in most people's minds is its stunning visual look. This thing looks as unique and stunning as the iPhone itself looks. It has a distinct-looking earpiece and a steel perforated mouthpiece. And this is not all about aesthetics either. The headset conforms quite naturally to the curve of your face, providing for outstanding comfort and sound quality.

Also notable is the fact the headset's size: It's smaller than most others, making it not quite as noticeable as similar Bluetooth sets. This works together with the sleep design to enhance your professional look.

The greatest feature about this headset, however, is its noise-cancelling feature. The set seems quite intelligent, as it adjusts its volume level according to the other noise going on around you. We noted earlier how the microphone rests comfortably on the face. This feature also works with the noise-cancelling feature we're discussing now. It uses this position to compare the noise from your mouth with the noise around you, adjusting the volume accordingly. It feels the vibrations from your voice and then activates the microphone. As a result, the sound level of both speaker and microphone are always quite near perfect.

No headset that we're aware of makes as perfect a companion for your iPhone as the Jawbone.
