Hi Raul, Maybe, but the way I do this you typically can't see the left earbud which is hanging around my neck inside my shirt collar. I do admit that in the summer if I only wear a T-Shirt you can see the cable more, but since where I live you have to wear some sort of second layer for probably 7 months out of the year and then it is very inconspicuous. Anyhow, I did say this was my thought and it's not as if I have to have the earpiece in my ear all the time. My Jabra Supreme is not the smallest, but I do like the fact that it folds and by folding the microphone boom you turn it on/off. I never have to worry that I forget to turn it off and use up the battery and I can take this thing out of my pocket, unfold it and put it on my ear by the third ring.

You say that you don't want to look like a nerd with a Bluetooth headset on your ear yet aren't you looking like a nerd with the earbuds around your neck with one in your ear and one hanging around? It just presented a funny image to me is all. That's like a parent going up to a child and smacking him because he was hitting his friend. And as he smacks the child he says, we don't hit. --- Sent from Raul's iPhone - (832) 554-7285. Please excuse any dictation or auto complete errors.
