I use a wired earpiece in the car so I can keep my hands on the wheel when I drive. I've used it while running out of the car to get something & keep my hands free. It's nice to be able to do something & not have to wait for the call to finish. BT would mean I don't have that pesky wire hanging around. I could see BT headphones being useful instead of wired when I'm doing yardwork, mountain biking and motorcycling. I have something on the motorcycle called a Chatterbox. It's an FRS radio with a PTT and VOX microphone. It's very useful when riding to communicate to your riding partners. It'd be nice to eliminate those pesky wires, especially when I'm riding off road. I could see it in a remote data center. The tech in the center has the BT/phone while using tools as someone else is talking them though it. Of course, it can get out of hand. > > > The other question I find myself asking is: "Are you aware of how > silly you look?"
