Useless Wireless Headsets from Neiman Marcus

Wirelessheadset
These "Wireless Headsets" from Neiman Marcus connect to your cell phone or
desktop to allow you talk hands-free up to 50 feet away. They have a tranceiver base that plugs into a standard 2.5mm jack on your phone.  I’m confused as to why someone would be willing to pay $130 for this pretty useless device, and then there is the fact that its design resembles a
child’s walky talky system. At least it comes in different colors including
green, pink, black, turquoise, or red. Overall, I think this needs to be put on
the "what not to buy this holiday season" list.

    umm… hello…. these things are the size of a nickel and fit in your ear. It’s a wireless *headset*, not a stand-alone device. They are way cooler than you are giving them credit for.

    they are overpriced at NM though.

    You’re right we made a typo - it is a headset. However, it’s not quite the size of a nickel. And we still think the whole device is overkill.

    Candy-Colored Wireless Freedom

    I haven’t quite wrapped my head around this product. Neiman Marcus is offering a new wireless headset for your cell phone that offers connectivity up to 50 feet away and comes in five candy-like colors. The complete lack of Bluetooth

    I can see this being useful actually. Imagine you’re at home and you get poor cell reception in certain areas of the house. Plug your phone in to charge and place it in an area that gets reception, and use this device to talk wherever you want in your house. Quite convenient, especially since you don’t have to tote the phone around either. Granted you probably can’t make calls without some sort of voice system (if it’s possible to activate that system with this device anyway).

    Anyway, just my two cents.

    This does seem a waste of money to me, I my be wrong but I cannot understand why anyone would want these. A poor cell reception in certain areas of the house just does not give reason enough to me to spend $130

    It’s also very ugly!

Got something to say?
