Choose Bluetooth Headsets Compatible With Your Phone

On eBay you can bid on Bluetooth headsets from your favorite brands, including Motorola Bluetooth headsets, Plantronics Bluetooth headsets, Sony Ericsson Bluetooth headsets, and Jabra Bluetooth headsets. Look for models that are compatible with your cell phone and that fit your style preference.

Connect without wires

To make a wireless connection, you need to keep your Bluetooth-enabled cell phone within 30 feet of your Bluetooth headset. Note that your Bluetooth headset and cell phone must run the same version of Bluetooth. Before you bid, find out which version of Bluetooth your cell phone uses. Sellers typically provide Bluetooth headset specifications in their item listings, but if they don't, simply click the "Ask seller a question" link under their profile.

If you have an MP3 cell phone, look for a Bluetooth headset with Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for better-sounding music.

Choose your Bluetooth headset style

The Bluetooth headset design you choose should be a matter of personal comfort.

• Over-the-ear Bluetooth headsets: Some Bluetooth headsets, such as the Jabra BT160 and the Motorola H700, hook around your ear. Several over-the-ear models have ear hooks that can be worn on either the right or the left ear, and many find them more comfortable than in-ear models.

• In-ear Bluetooth headsets: In-ear Bluetooth headsets fit directly into your ear canal like an earplug. The Plantronics Discovery 640 and the Samsung WEP410 are two examples of in-ear models. Their low profile and snug fit are preferred by many Bluetooth users.

• Specialty Bluetooth headsets: Pull double duty with Bluetooth sunglasses and Bluetooth stereo headphones. You can also find adapters to create Bluetooth-enabled motorcycle helmets. Look for brands like Motorola and Sony Ericsson.

Evaluate Bluetooth Headset Features

Evaluate Bluetooth Headset Features

Whether you're a fashionista who wants to change your headset's appearance to match your mood or a cell-phone connoisseur who wants the best sound quality, there's a Bluetooth headset with the features you need on eBay. Consider the following features.

• Boom microphone: When call clarity is of paramount importance, choose a headset with a boom microphone. The microphone extends from the headset toward your mouth, so the person you’re talking to can really hear what you’re saying. Jabra, Sony Ericsson, Motorola, and Plantronics all make boom mike models.

• Compact design: If you want a sleeker look for your Bluetooth headset, consider a compact model without a boom microphone. Jabra and Motorola are known for their compact, fashion-forward designs.

• Caller ID display: Sure, you’ve got caller ID on your cell phone, but what if the phone’s out of reach? Just glance at the LCD display screen on your headset (Jabra, LG, BlueAnt, and Tekkeon make caller ID display models) before taking the call.

• Bluetooth headset charger: Many Bluetooth headsets on eBay come with chargers included, but if you're ever in need of a replacement or extra, you can find separate Bluetooth headset chargers on eBay as well.

• Bluetooth USB adapter: A Bluetooth USB adapter lets you transfer files from your phone to your computer or use your cell phone to create an Internet connection for your computer.

• Pouches and holsters: Keep track of your Bluetooth headset by storing it in a special pouch or holster. Some sellers offer them as bundled accessories; and many others sell them separately.

Buy Bluetooth Headsets With Confidence

Before making your purchase, make sure you know exactly what you're buying, research your seller, and understand how eBay and PayPal protect you.

Know your purchase

Carefully read the details in item listings.

• Figure delivery costs into your final price. If you spend a lot of money, make sure the seller will insure the item when it ships.

• If you want more information, ask by clicking the "Ask seller a question" link under the seller's profile.

• Always make sure to complete your transaction on eBay (with a bid, Buy It Now, or Best Offer). Transactions conducted outside of eBay are not covered by eBay protection programs.

• Never pay for your eBay item using instant cash wire transfer services through Western Union or MoneyGram. These payment methods are unsafe when paying someone you do not know.

Know your seller

Research your seller so you feel positive and secure about every transaction.

• What is the seller's Feedback rating? How many transactions have they completed? What percentage of positive responses do they have?

• What do buyers say in their Feedback? Did the seller receive praise?

• Most top eBay sellers operate like retail stores and have return policies. Do they offer a money-back guarantee? What are the terms and conditions?

Buyer protection

In the unlikely event that a problem arises during your transaction, eBay and PayPal are there for you.

• Pay safely with PayPal: PayPal enables you to pay without the seller ever seeing your bank account or credit card numbers. In fact, PayPal protects buyers 100% against unauthorized payments from their accounts. Plus, with PayPal Buyer Protection, your purchase can be covered up to $2,000.
