Sven Rafferty owns more Bluetooth headsets than anyone I virtually know, so when he put the Apple iPhone Bluetooth offering in his ear for a review, I perked my own ears up. To me there are three core qualities of a headset: comfort, sound, and usability (in that order, which is arguable). Sven’s review confirms that the sound isn’t bad and the device pairs with little to no user intervention, so props to Apple for that. But the best sounding headset only sounds good when it’s in your ear and Sven could only max out with 3 hours of wearing this one. He did plod along 90 extra minutes after that just for the readers sake, but if you’re an all-day wearer of the Bluetooth headset, you might want to be cautious here. Or you might want to check yourself in the mirror: do you really need the ear-bling all day long? ;)
