Here’s a cool idea – why not fold Bluetooth headsets into stuff we already have around our ears? In this particular example designed for a Plantronics competition, the lady-folk could have it built into a stylish ear stud. The microphone flips out as needed, and tucks away unobtrusively when not in use. TriSpecs are already working on getting Bluetooth into everyday accessories, and Prada is having a solid go at fashionable tech, but we could certainly stand to see more options in wearable tech like this.
