Angie was the typical fifteen year old girl giddy about her sixteenth birthday that was only two weeks away.

Up until now she had sworn that she was the only girl in her whole school that did not have her own cell phone and she just knew that her parents were going to get her one for her birthday this year.  After all,The Drive for a Bluetooth Headset and Phone Articles the only thing that she had asked for was a cell phone with a Bluetooth headset.

Her birthday came and went, and still no phone or Bluetooth headset.  Angie was depressed.  She thought that she would at least get the phone even if they didn't get her the accessory that she wanted. This was when Angie made up her mind that she was going to get a job and purchase what she wanted on her own.

For the next week she went around filling out applications and going to interviews. Finally, not only did she get a job, but in her opinion she struck gold. She got a job working in one of the wireless stores.  This made doing some research on exactly what products she wanted to purchase easy.

Within a week Angie knew exactly which phone she was going to get.  Now all she had to do was figure out the Bluetooth headset that she wanted to go with it. After doing some research on the subject Angie found that the top five on the market based on user reviews were the Aliph Jawbone Icon, the Plantronics Voyager Pro Plus, the Motorola Finiti, the BlueAnt Q2, and the Sound ID 510 Bluetooth Headset.

With some further research, Angie found that the Jawbone had a couple of problems with it such as the fact that some find the ear piece to be a little on the uncomfortable side and there is no way to manually adjust the volume because they built in automatic normalization of the volume for this device. Other than that it seemed everything was great though. 

With the Voyager Pro Plus it had the two things that the Jawbone was missing, but it didn't look as pretty and was definitely bigger. This one also gave her the option of sending texts from her Bluetooth headset just by talking. While she would have to pay for this service, it could be worth it. The Motorola Finiti seemed to be alright having apps and all, but it seemed that they could use a little improvement as well as the problem with the button to answer being too small and multi-functional. 

Not only that, but the apps only work for Android phones. The Q2 seemed to have far too many commands that needed to be remembered as well as having all of the buttons and other components that would need to be physically interacted with too small. The Sound ID set was geared mostly toward iPhone users, and it seems that there are no great features for those without a Smartphone. Also, it isn't that great either that the controls are all touching sensitive rather than physical buttons or rockers.

After looking into all this information and taking into consideration all of the prices that were attached to the different devices, Angie made up her mind as to which one she was going to get. When Angie got her first check, the first thing she did was to get the phone that she wanted and get the service started for it. That used most of the money that she had earned, so she had to wait for her next check to get her Bluetooth headset. If you are still wondering which one she got, ask yourself which one you would get. That is the answer.
