Hm the Jabra hands free!
Is there any other, for years I've had the little fellow but can anyone tell why oh why do folks wear them in their right ears so when the window is wound down whilst driving it picks up all the road noise

Why not the left ear where its inside the cab of the vehicle! Then to passing motorists you only look a clown by the way you drive.

good thinking dave. switching it over as we type.
ive got a nokia head set, wish i'd got the jabra now, but i'm sure the nokia's fine.

Your right there as mine is in my left ear.

Supose i do it with the phone too :

Thankfully my long hair covers mine but trouble is then people think am talking to myself

Did you know that not only can people be right or left handed but you can also be right or left footed (fairly obviously) but also right or left eyed and right or left eared!

And some people can  be all over the place

[Mike Osbourne]

And a lot of that's down to whether you are left or right brain dominant and whether you dress to the left or right.

I have far better hearing in my right ear as my wife lays to the left in bed!

The ear pieces can be worn in either ear,  I had my Abra destroyed by one of our pups and just got a Samsung today which is compatable with all cell phones £17.

The road noise is never an issue, just as being close to a loud machine is not a problem.

The two main points about having an earpiece, is that, you need never miss a call.

You will avoid the problem of getting points on your licence.

Used to do work for a company that developed NCT - noise cancellation for military throat mikes.

Originally they were for pilots but filtered down to civie applications. Most headsets now come with this technology, recognise voice and filter everything else out. Which is handy.

Got through 4 in 2008 due to breakages/failing and losing them.

[colin thomas]

derek, good excuse to buy a jabra, they go behind the ear, you won't lose that!!
if you buy one from a shop say carphonewarehouse, pick the 'longer' one, the latest one is shorter, not such a good voice pickup for our noisy work, i gave my new one to the wife and bought another longer version which is the older style but still great,
colin

[derek west]

you have'nt got the model number by any chance colin.
was gonna get a jabra as the nokia one kept dangling off my ear when i looked left and right in the van, it even fellout when i bent down to check someones carpet backing, looked even more of a plonker.
