That means no one will be certain whether you are a crazy hallucinating street person EVEN RIGHT UP CLOSE

There’s a high price to pay for chunky, heavy Bluetooth headsets. Lately we’ve noticed many of the wireless blatherers around our town afflicted with “Bluetooth Neck-Crick.” Sustained earpiece wear has weighed down their heads on whichever side is their chattin’ ear, leaving them with the permanent aspect of curious puppies. It’s kind of cute, but tragic nonetheless!

Avoiding BNC is just one of the advantages of a small, lightweight Bluetooth headset. Let’s say you traded in your hefty earpiece for the six-gram, 3.3-by-1.6-centimeter Invisio G5, for example. This doo-dad is small enough to stay out of the way of your eyewear! That’s good news for prescription eyeglass wearers, as well as those who just worry that, with no big Lobot-lookin’ gizmo on the side of their heads, the rest of us might not recognize them as jackasses. The Invisio G5 can be comfortably worn with a pair of Oakleys, which solves that problem. Snap!

Its patented “Soft Spring” adapts to the unique contours of your ear, almost however weird an ear it is, offering superior comfort and a secure fit. But we have to take issue with the manufacturer’s claim that it’s “remarkably small and discreet.” Sure, it’s small. But you know what’s not actually very “discreet” at all? Sitting on a park bench and barking, apparently to no one, that “NAH, MAN, I’M JUST CHILLIN, YOU KNOW. JUST CHILLIN’ IN THE PARK. LOTS OF HOT GIRLS ALL UP IN HERE TODAY, FOR REAL.”

Attention Bluetooth headset users of the world: The Invisio G5 really is small and comfortable to wear. But if you’re interested in being “discreet?” That’s easy: Hang up and shut your yaps.
