I don't think so. These are my personal reasons:
1. I would hate to talk to a person with those things in their ears.
2. I use my bluetooth headphones the same way I use my wired headphones.
3. I don't feel comfortable talking out loud to nobody in public. It doesn't feel right to talk the phone, I will probably never talk to the air. I'm not a self conscious person, but I care if people think I'm crazy.
- edgarvaldes 10y agoRegarding #1, I don't mind talking to someone using ONE earphone, because I can get visual cues about the attention in our conversation.
- jsemrau 10y agoI regularly use the 'one side' earphones for a while now and people are initially a bit setback but realize quickly that I am fully focused on the conversation and move along with it.
- Akarnani 10y ago#3 feels analogous to saying: "I would never walk down the street reading a book without looking where i was going." (or something similar) Makes sense until everyone has a smartphone and then this: http://www.governing.com/topics/transportation-infrastructure/too-many-pedestrians-injured-by-looking-at-their-phones.html http://www.governing.com/topics/transportation-infrastructur...
- cs02rm0 10y agoI remember people saying #3 about mobile phones. And thinking it was odd myself the first time I heard someone near me talking, turned round and there was only one person there. Bluetooth earpieces for calls are already fairly well accepted. I think we're already past the point of that being a barrier. These things are probably the (nearish) future. I thought the Moto Hint was great a year or so ago and with Apple stepping into the market it should encourage the competition.
