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.
Regards,
Sieghard

Okay okay, your message below made me laugh. 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.

Hi Brice,
As Chuck and Richard already pointed out, a Bluetooth earpiece is one
solution. But as you say, it is another item you have to make sure is
charged up and I personally don't like it if I have to do any amount
of typing. I do own one and use it at times, but first of all I feel I
look like a nurd (no offense to anybody who wears it all day) and I
just don't like the small lag when I am typing, it makes typing on the
virtual keyboard even slower as it is. There is also a third reason
why I don't want to have it in all day and that is the fact that
nobody really knows if it is all that healthy.
I very much prefer the Apple earpods, they are less conspicuous and
even lighter than even the lightest Bluetooth earpiece. Depending on
where I am and what I am doing I often just have the right one in my
ear since it has the microphone and remote and I just have the left
one hanging around my neck. It's become total habit for me to grab
them in the morning, wrap them around my hand and put them in my pocket.
In short, if you are in public and you don't want anybody to hear your
phone a headset or earpiece of some sort is your only option. I
personally wouldn't be too worried about people listening to a text
message I might type, somebody really would have to pay attention to
put together what you are typing if they hear a letter at a time, but
of course if it's noisy a headset really is the way to go and it has
the additional benefit that you can keep your phone on your belt or in
your pocket when a call comes in.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hi,
I'm curious to know how you all listen and use your phones when you're
out in public. Do you use earbuds and an earpiece, or do you turn the
speech down low and do your best?
In noisy environments most people can just look down at their phones.
If you use speech, you want to be able to hear the speech without
everyone else hearing it or becoming distracted by it, too. Sometimes
I'll just hold the phone up toward my shoulder/ear and type/text so I
can keep the volume down real low for privacy, but this looks really
odd and unprofessional. I've thought about grabbing an earpiece or
earbuds, but I usually forget, or it's just something else to charge
and keep track of.
What works for you?
Brice
