Mobile phone headsets for women
Having been around for several years now, the mobile phone using public have become accustomed to being able to talk hands-free using Bluetooth headsets. Bluetooth’s popularity has steadily been increasing as more and more mobile phones now come fully equipped with Bluetooth capabilities. Wireless headsets have literally freed the hands of non-stop, always-on-the-go business professionals as well as drivers and any other telephone users. It was not until a few years ago, however, that Bluetooth companies realised the potential of the female headset market.
For the gender that is, traditionally, not nearly as inspired by gadgets and gizmos as their male counterparts, headsets were not as popular and headsets were rarely designed with women in mind. Headsets were often bulky and unstylish making them inconvenient and a little embarrassing to wear. A broad range of headsets aimed specifically at women has recently been blown wide open, however, hoping to cater to the desires and needs of the female sex. Several companies which develop headsets such as Motorola, Sony Ericsson and BluePearls wanted to rectify the problem that many women saw headsets as ugly and inconvenient. They conducted extensive research, calling on experts in several fields to inform them of exactly what women want and need. At the top of this list of benefits required of a headset that would be desirable to women came style, comfort and convenience.
The visual-appeal of headsets was probably the first factor that was tackled by the headset industry who aimed to manufacture pretty and petite products. The Pama 7008 became available in Pink Diamante and Silver Diamante versions which claimed to be the ideal fashion accessory for women. Similarly, BluePearls developed the sleek and slender BP7G headsets weighing just 7.9 grams and coming with the option of changeable face plates with different patterns and colours from pearl silver to zebra. These interchangeable designs can be swapped quickly and simply to match the outfit or mood of the wearer. The earpiece was fitted with a mouldable frame to ensure a comfortable fit for any ear. The idea behind creating hands free kits that were as small as possible was both for fashion reasons and to ensure that the headset could be easily stored in a small handbag. This notion has been since developed by Sony Ericsson’s HBH-PV712 Style Edition which comes with a novel necklace to carry the ear piece and an attractive pouch big enough to carry the phone and headset. Furthermore, this headset-for-women concentrated on what women want from their phones and this headset has high talk-time capabilities of 15 hours and particularly user-friendly controls.
Bluetooth gadgets created with women in mind have grown in popularity as attention to detail has increased. Motorola’s glossy, lightweight and fashionable H680 Silver Razr2, for example, is actually designed with the specific dimensions of female skull shapes in mind. Headsets for women are very sleek and can be worn with no fear of ruffling a meticulously arranged hairstyle or clashing with a well-planned fashion look. Female headsets have been created with numerous benefits for females and the designs can considerably help the fashion-conscious and busy woman in today’s society.
