With more and more states adopting hands-free laws, it may be time to suck it up and get a Bluetooth headset—even if it makes you look like a giant douche. Fortunately, Amazon has a deal going on today only that drops the price of several headsets to only $20. [Amazon]

Plantronics Patents Nod-Powered Bluetooth Headset

One way to increase the potency of Bluetooth headsets as social poison is to wear them while affecting strange, inexplicable and constant head movement. With Plantronics' new movement-charged headset design, that may become a necessity. The device relies on a small flywheel that, when rotated in a magnetic field, draws enough current to power the headset. Plantronics claims that the system would harvest enough energy to power the headset during constant use, which is actually pretty impressive. More »

Plantronics Gamecom 777 Dolby Gaming Headset Ears-On Actually Goes to 11

I was able to try the new Plantronics Gamecom 777 gaming headset here at IFA Showstoppers preview (about the only few thing worth trying, since the Garmin Nuvifone was broken). The $99 headset—equipped with a microphone that folds into the headset itself, Dolby Headphone and Dolby Pro Logic II technology—feels good both on your head and in your ear. More »

Plantronics Discovery 925 Bluetooth Earpiece Blends Stylish Design with Powerful Features

Plantronics just announced their new Discovery 925 earpiece which breaks away from the utilitarian design of most Bluetooth ear pieces and injects some style into the hardware — similar to the MotoPure H12 headset. The Discovery 925 sits in the ear without a loop that wraps around the back and comes with a matching carrying case that doubles as a DC charging dock for juice on the go.

Plantronics 370BT Bluetooth Headset Looks Corporate-Suit Boring, is Military Spec Tough

Bluetooth headsets are two-a-penny nowadays, but Plantronics' new Explorer 370BT is like the ugly one that ran away from home and joined the Army. Designed so it's rough'n'tough enough to meet military standards, the 370BT is rubber-coated and resistant against water, dust and impacts. Sure, it won't actually save you if you take a bullet in the ear, but at least its "windscreen" noise-filtering technology will ensure that your callers can hear you against the sounds of battle/the great outdoors. It's got a beefy eight-day standby time, allows seven hours of talk, and goes on sale in March for $79.95 [Mobilemag]

Plantronics Voyager 855 Bluetooth Headset Does Mono Calls and Stereo Music

Plantronics' latest headset, the Voyager 855, may look like a normal headset, but it actually allows you to be twice as dorky-looking with an add-on earbud attachment to turn it into a stereo headset for music. That's right, the 855 supports A2DP, and you can activate stereo mode by just plugging in the earbud cable, wrapping it around your neck and sticking it in your other ear. More »

Plantronics Calisto Pro Can Do Skype, Landline and Cellphone

This Plantronics Calisto Pro set takes your standard Bluetooth headset and adds in landline and Skype dialing, which means you get the big three (Skype, home, cell) all in one dorky-looking device. The base station has a USB connector to hook into your PC for Skype and Yahoo calls, a DECT 6.0 handset to handle landline calls, and the headset to connect to both these plus a cellphone. The price for all this convenience while you work at home in your underpants? $279 starting September. [PRnewswire via Web Worker Daily]
