My computer mouse is bluetooth and I use it every day. I would never use one of those earpiece things.
I voted for the last, even though I do know what BT is, I just…don’t have a use for it.
My wife bought a Bluetooth headset, but she’s never even taken it out of the package.
I have never used a BT headset, but my car has bluetooth, and I use it daily to stream music and podcasts over the car’s speakers. Ocasionally (maybe weekly) I receive a phone call while using the BT in my car.
I have to say, BT makes my commute so much easier. I can listen to my favorite radio show even though it does not air during my drive. and I don’t have to listen to any commercials. I also have about 8GB of music on my phone.
Up until recently, my answer would have been something along the lines of “never.” But my new car uses blue tooth to route my phone through the speaker system, so now it’s every single day.
It has been daily, but right now I’m at once a week or so and hoping to remain there. My phone connects to my GPS/stereo via bluetooth and I use it only when I can’t get out of talking while I drive.
I guess I actually use it daily since it connects automagically but weekly is a more accurate expression of it’s functionality.
I use Bluetooth daily. I have
-
a Bluetooth receiver plugged into my home theater speakers, with which I listen to music on my iPhone.
-
a set of portable Bluetooth speakers in my bedroom, also for iPhone listening.
-
a Bluetooth stereo headset. The kind that look like Walkman headphones, but with no cord. I use them while doing yardwork or walking to my mailbox. They also have a mike so that I can talk on the phone.
I love the 21st century!
This. I don’t have a wireless mouse, or a wireless anything. I find it difficult enough to hear voices on a cell phone, and if the other person is using a Bluetooth headset, it’s pretty much impossible, so I don’t use one myself. I know what they are, I just don’t want or need one.
I agree with this, but I use a bluetooth headset at home all the time. It lets me get up and walk around, type with both hands, etc.
When I’m out and about or at work, I don’t spend enough time on the phone to warrant using it; I rarely even take it with me out of the house.
One more vote for this one.
I answered very rarely as there was no option for “Never”. I’m fully aware of what they are so “Blue- what now?” doesn’t fit, I just don’t have one and have never used one.
Only when picking up my wife at the airport where I want to be able to get her call if she gets in early - and that only if I can find the damn thing. Once I used it while walking the dog to chat with one of my kids. But once a year, at most. I prefer not to talk and drive thanks, I don’t want to dive like the nitwits I see around me.
I work from my home office for a tech company, and use my BT headset every day for calls. It allows me to use both hands on my laptop when I need to access documents and such. I also put it in when I’m driving, but that’s it. If I’m not in my house or in my car, it’s not in my ear.
Also I use a BT mouse with my laptop.
Daily. iPhone is paired with my car and I can take calls handsfree and listen to the music on the iPhone. Other than that, I don’t have any bluetooth devices.
Wireless keyboard I use with my tablet sometimes. I have a headset for my phone but don’t care for it so only use it in heavy traffic or bad weather.
Does it count if the device has Bluetooth support but you never use it? My laptop and cell phone, which I use daily, both have Bluetooth interfaces, but I’ve never actually actually used them.
Same as others. I know exactly what it is but I have no need for it.
Never ever used a Bluetooth device. I had expected to —— it was so much the hot new technology 6+ years ago and my then-new PowerBook had Bluetooth support on it, so I expected to see Bluetooth wireless mice and Skype headphones and whatnot.
Nope.
All the wireless mice I run across are USB. So are the computer headphones. Cameras. Etc.
Me six.
My Logitech mouse is wireless, but it isn’t Bluetooth.
I hate the name, anyway. Sounds like it was coined by some sophomoric geek whose pimples were running.
