Bluetooth headset use plummets in the US, humanity celebrates a small victory

6 September 2009 64 views One Comment

As the owner , and very infrequent user, of two Bluetooth headsets a Jawbone 2 and a Blue Ant Z9, I must agree with the view expressed by Engadget recently:

Join us as we rejoice together: “Finally!” Look, we can’t straight up say that Bluetooth headsets don’t have their place in this world, but seriously, we’ve yet to not be freaked out when walking up to someone who’s apparently speaking to the ghost we can’t see. In a recent survey conducted by the quizzical minds over at Strategy Analytics, they found that only 26 percent of US-based Bluetooth headset owners use their device each and every day. That figure is down from 43 percent in 2008, proving that style may have just notched a minor victory over utility. Of course, the study also found that daily BT headset use was up slightly in Europe, but hey, it takes awhile for these so-called “trends” to float across the pond.

Worrying to see that it is increasing across Europe still though!
