subject: Basic Etiquette When Using Bluetooth Headphones with a Mobile Phone [print this page] Mobile phones may be very useful to people but they are also much complained about. Although mobile phones are very common these days and might seem to have become a basic need, people often neglect how to use it properly especially when using bluetooth headphones.
Bluetooth headphones have been around for a while but not all people use them with their mobile phones. So it is quite understandable when other people look at you in a weird way while you are using your wireless headphones.
Save arguments and private conversation for handheld mobile phones. When you receive a call from someone, for example your significant other, be sure you don't talk loudly saying, "Hey baby! What's up?" This might startle people around you, thinking that you are talking to them, especially if your headphones are not very visible. So, you really need to keep your voice low. Also, you should not argue or shout when on the phone using a pair of bluetooth headsets. If you don't want to get attention then don't. If you don't want people to think you are crazy, do not talk loudly.
Moreover, you don't want to look like an idiot wearing bulky bluetooth wireless headphones wherever you go, right? If you are not using your bluetooth headsets for meetings or when waiting for important calls, you might as well keep them. In addition, you should choose a more convenient and good-looking pair of bluetooth earphones.
You also should refrain from using your bluetooth earphones when driving. Although it is much better than holding your mobile phone, there is still a probability of losing concentration in driving and focusing on your conversation instead. You need to keep your eyes one the road in front of you.
Let the other person you are talking to on the other line know that you are using a bluetooth headphone so that he/she will not wonder why there's so much noise in the background. Also, making a gesture that lets people know you are using a bluetooth headset is a sign of courtesy. Onlookers and passersby will not wonder why you seem talking to yourself.
Try these simple etiquette tips for using your bluetooth headphones with your mobile phone so that you can give others the courtesy they deserve while enjoying your conversation on the phone.
