Take a look at the picture to the right. That is a Jabra BT-350 bluetooth headset for my cell phone. I purchased two of these puppies from Woot! for about $15.00. I like to have a backup headset or two for when I have problems with my primary one. (My primary is the Logitech Mobile Traveler)A few days ago, the ear loop on my Logitech headset broke and it will be a few days for the replacement to get here. In consideration of the safety of others on the road I decided to break out the new Jabra one so I could still drive with both hands while talking on the phone. It isn't the best headset I have ever had, but it is better than most. Basically a good backup for me to keep around.
Anyway... I have been using it for a few days, but only to make outgoing calls. Every time I had an incoming call, it was when I had the headset turned off. Last night I was driving home from work, and had my trusty little Jabra wrapped around my ear when I received a call from GF. The unexpected part was that besides having a pleasant little ringtone in my ear, the damn thing vibrated rather violently. I really wasn't expecting this and nearly drove my Mustang off the highway because of my surprise. Fortunately I didn't have any cars next to me. Oh... and I might have peed a little. (don't judge! I was startled. j/k)
I am sorry, but having an electronic device hanging over your ear start vibrating... It is just and odd sensation. Now I kinda like it...
