Here is a list of disadvantages that the earpiece manufacturers and resellers don't want you to know about: Nearly all Bluetooth earpieces have an internal battery that can't be removed. These batteries have a short life of approximately 300 charges, or approximately one earpiece per year (less if you recharge every day). And prices range from $20-$300, averaging about $50. The earpiece can't be used while it is charging. The earpieces don't fit everyone comfortably. One size definitely doesn't fit all; yet you cannot try the earpiece before you buy. The earpieces are uncomfortable for those who wear glasses or sunglasses. For reasons of hygiene, the earpieces should not be shared. Earpieces are easily lost, stolen, or broken. Bluetooth headsets, on average, last just 26 hours when not in use and only 2 to 3 hours when talking. The life of the battery starts to decline once you begin to use it, hence the talk time and standby time decreases. Many users purchase more than one Bluetooth earpiece, then finally give up and buy an integrated Bluetooth car kit. Potential harmful effects from radiation through the earpiece. Most people find the earpieces uncomfortable and ugly, and/or experience lousy audio quality. Many people will buy the earpiece believing it is more cost effective, ultimately they end up buying an integrated car kit because they just find it cumbersome to use. <strong>note from archshrk: this was most likely spam so i removed the links but thought the information was interesting enough to share (even if it's not true)</strong> Salespeople may tell you that Bluetooth earpieces are the low-cost solution to hands-free calling — but a closer look reveals these claims to be misleading.
