Question
Hello - I just got a samsung highlight and i need a hands free headset to talk in the car. My friends said that there are newer style bluetooth hands free earpiece/headsets that are samsung highlight compatible and are very small but have good reception and speed. Can you tell me what i can get that is small in size and not one of those huge clip on ear pieces, but has good reception, and not a big price since i take care of an elderly mother that lives with me and am on a tight budget. thanks!

Answer
The really good small bluetooth headsets are no inexpensive. The best ones are by Plantronics and Jawbone and Blue Ant and all of them are around $100.00. You can buy less expensive ones, but they are not as good as these three. For around $60.00, you can get an okay headset (Motorola, Blue Ant) and almost all of the headsets today are small, don't have the huge clipon ear pieces. However, have you considered just getting a bluetooth that clips to your car visor so that you don't have to put anything in your ear? That would be a much better bet because headsets are not comfortable and if there is no one else in your car, you would be better off with the speaker. You can buy these at any electronics or phone store or Costco, Best Buy, Fry's, etc. For between $50 and $100. All will be compatible with any new phone. I hope this helps. Thanks. DebiN
