It is time to draw your attention to things that look good on your ears, and I’m talking about technology, not earrings. Mankind has enjoyed a few short years of using a mobile phone hands free and tapping its feet to music from various mp3 players. Yet the glory of these years has been considerably hampered by the existence of the annoying – you’ve guessed it – wires. Bluetooth technology has been around since 1999 but it’s only quite recently that companies have put anything into the market that looks half decent.


(i)  The Ripple Headset
This trendy new device is the design of Ilya Fridman. The circular contours of the headset reveal the inspiration behind them; the movement of rippling water. It clips onto your ear just like a fake earring would and has two simple functions; speaking and listening. The button in the centre changes from orange to green when active, and it needs to be pressed to activate the talk function.
200 hours standby, 5.5 hours talk time


(ii) The PinkTooth Headset
ChicBuds, as the name suggests, dedicates its time to making shiny earphones that girls absolutely love. These come ornamented in Swarovski crystals and are not just pretty; they function well too! The battery lasts 200 hours on standby and can handle 6 hours of nonstop chatting. Sound quality, by the way, is Swarovski-crystal clear.



(iii) The HBH-PV720 by Sony Ericsson
They might not sparkle like ChicBuds, but these wireless Sony headsets are stylish nonetheless. They come with three interchangeable faceplates and can be worn about the neck, suspended off a sleek black chain when not in use.
Furthermore, this model comes with an impressive battery; 800 hours on standby and 11 hours of talk time.
