The problem with most Bluetooth earpieces is that they all look alike. Most are black or gray and show very little individuality whatsoever. Earloomz is out to change that. Starting July 4th, 2010, Earloomz has started to sell their bluetooth earpieces with pop art and popular cultural references adorning the side that faces everybody as a testament to your style.

Launching on July 4, 2010, Earloomz Bluetooth headsets will feature more than 400 different designs of licensed art, pop culture icons, entertainment properties, cartoon characters, sports teams, and original commissioned artwork. There will be a style to fit everyone’s personality whether they are infatuated with a popular recording artist like Lady Gaga, pop-culture icons like Paul Frank, sci-fi, celebrated movies, a NBA sports team, classic cartoon characters, skulls, or even cheetah prints. Earloomz will allow Bluetooth users to express their individualism and share their passions while staying hands-free when in the car or on-the-go.

Being an individual doesn’t mean that the specifications on the Bluetooth earpiece has to suffer. Sporting Bluetooth 2.1+ EDR technology, noise cancellation, microphone noise reduction, lowered power consumption, voice prompts and support for multiple devices. The Earloomz GL500 Glamorous Life will retail for $59.99 (initially) on the Earloomz website.

Months after announcing that it was “coming”, Motorola finally has unleashed the Motorola Endeavor HX1 [ site here ] for sale in the US and perhaps the Aliph Jawbone Prime [ site here ] first true competition.

With features like true bone conduction via an in-ear sensor and CrystalTalk™ Noise Reduction to make your calls all nice and clear, the Motorola Endeavor HX1 almost makes it worthwhile to stick that huge earpiece in your ear. You’ll still look like a half-Borg and invariably confuse people that are on the other side of your face that won’t see the earpiece and assume you’re talking to them; but the fact that you can use both hands while in traffic or in Starbucks makes it all worth it. Right?
