    My headset makes me look hip hop and gangster. I’m wearing it everywhere I go, like Denny’s.

    I'm still trying to figure out why they cost $100+. That's probably the main reason I haven't bought one.

    I am familiar with blue tooth from college and previous activity when it was new with females engaging in what we called toothing back then. What a change two decades make.

    I choose not to have wireless headsets. I just prefer to find a good earth shaking 20hertz at 120 Db wired headset if possible. The 5 inch kind that can take the hits from the digital cannon found in 1812 Symphony. I am looking. I'll probably have to find a sound card capable of amplifying for the first time the hardware output.

    The one thing I do miss is my solid State amplifier. from the 70's era. You cannot get that technology very well unless you pay a great deal of money for it.

    My phone, nor my headset go to the bathroom with me. It’s the last frontier for privacy. Although, I’ll rip a really loud one if the guy next to me is on the phone. Then moan like I’m in labor.

    Probably because demand never drops. Demand created and maintained by government.
    And then you sit or step on it every once in a while so you gotta buy a new one.

    You just gave me an idea. Wear a Bluetooth like the Blu Parrott and carry a set of turntables. Instant Deejay wherever you went.

    Like a rhinestone cowboy. Rhi, rhi, rhi, rhinestone cowboy.
