What's cooler than wearing your
Bluetooth headset wherever you go? Wearing it
clipped to a lanyard wherever you go, that's what -- especially when that lanyard is made from 8 inches of 25 pound tensile strength magcord (i.e. elastic). That's the power of bluDANGLE, a curiously capitalized name for what is basically just a clip that turns your wireless device into a wired one, swinging in the breeze whenever you're not actually making a call. Normally we celebrate any attempt that encourages people to remove their earpieces when not in use, but we're not
entirely sure having the thing dangling from your lapel is any less pretentious (check out the vid below and you tell us). But hey, for just $19.99 with a lifetime warranty who are we to complain? Makes a great stocking stuffer for your family's Bluetooth guy (or gal)!

Am I missing something or is there already a clip on the headset, called an ear clip. If your headset is falling off all the time, then find one that fits better.
i'm with abward on this one, this seems like to have all the functionality of suspenders only for earpieces, and half as cool.
It is essentially a lanyard for your earpiece. You can leave it hanging when not taking a call. After all, you only use it when you are taking a call, but TWENTY DOLLAR is a rip. I can get something similar at the dollar store.
Either you are a lucky person, or you haven't used any headset before...
Am I missing something here or is this the most incredible thing ever - in that it somehow has made bluetooth earpieces - the single most ridiculous looking thing on the planet, even MORE ridiculous looking.
wow.
@eDenE
I type more than I talk
You know who ought to recieve a visit from the angel of death?
These guys who walk around with these hands free earpieces - these self important techodicks - acting as if they have The President on Line 1.
Hey skeezex, while your hands are free, why don't you scratch my ballz...

Did you read the article or did you just want to be the first comment. The point is that you -do- take it out of your ear and let it hang like you do a badge, stupid as it is.
Oh c'mon! why'd you guys rank Flashpoint low? a classic Carlin quote that like should NEVER be ranked low.
Well, I knocked something similar up for myself. I only use it when I'm out cycling -- I essentially tie my headset to my helmet strap. I don't like the idea of losing my headset while doing 40.
Obviously I wouldn't wear it while walking around. I'd look like a tw@t.
This will go well with the mittens that I keep clipped to my jacket
GregH that was really funny!
@Richy
I think being over 12 and going by richy, wearing spandex shorts while pedaling makes you look like an infinitely bigger twat than a bluetooth headset ever would.
So basically for 20 bucks you can look like a complete Tool!
as if you dont look enough like one walking down the street with a bluetooth headset!
He said COMPLETE tool.
Shouldn't this filed under "Crapgadget?"
@ Smart People Play Tuba
This thing is too ridiculous to be a "gadget", let alone a crapgadget.
What the...!!!?
After more time looking at it I don't think it's entirely that lame. I guess some people could get a use out of it. It something I'd see at a gas station counter for a buck or two in neon colors. Blue tooth clip... Hasn't this already been out for a while?
This is for the same people who where there ID badges around their neck...
I meant WEAR...
I'm done.
You also meant 'their', so not quite done after all.
This is remarkably stupid.
See? I remarked right there. I wouldn't lie to you.
Gay!
You know, using the word gay to describe something negatively is not only immature, its uncouth, insensitive and ignorant.
Regarding the lanyard, what a rip.
@Adderz
Are you gay?
Not that it matters but no im not.
I simply hate when people use such trash for language, rubbishing other people in such a casual manner.
You know, using the word rubbishing to describe something negatively is not only immature, its uncouth, insensitive and ignorant.
I myself am part of the rubbish movement and take offense to your post.
@Adderz
Not to hijack an otherwise normal article, but to me gay (homosexual) and gay (lame, crappy) are two extremely different words. Much like most of the English language, usage matters.
On topic, that thing is gay :D
Just like 'gay' can mean happy.
Though you'd have to be pretty gay to use it in that context these days. Either that, or you're Gay.
I'm not exactly an expert here, but I think you just called gay people 'such trash'.
Wow, this thread is gay.
(Well, it _is_, in one or more of the three meanings discussed thus far.)
maybe you should've said 'ghey' - not 'gay': http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=ghey
Or you could go smoke a fag.
And i did'nt think they could get any worse, why not hang a tiny dog from it :(
Like a USB dog powered by the bluetooth battery?
bang bang bang bang
What the hell would you do with the dog?
Michael Bolton: You think the pet rock was a really great idea?
Tom Smykowski: Sure it was. The guy made a million dollars. You know, I had an idea like that once. A long time ago.
Peter Gibbons: Really, what was it, Tom?
Tom Smykowski: Well, all right. It was a "Jump to Conclusions" mat. You see, it would be this mat that you would put on the floor, and it would have different conclusions written on it that you could jump to.
Michael Bolton: That's the worst idea I've ever heard in my life, Tom.
Samir: Yes, this is horrible, this idea.
"Why should I change? He's the one who sucks!"
what douche bag actually buy this crap???
Is it just me or does this guy seem particularly unexcited about his own worthless device?
Usually when you have something that certainly can't sell itself, you come out trying desperately to sell it so that this idea of yours doesn't die off.
Also yes, this is an awful idea. It's elastic and looks silly, it's the kind of thing that reminds me of those neckbands that old ladies wear to keep glasses near their face... Except this is meant for young people.
uh... just another piece that you can lose when you take off your jacket etc.
"dammit i lost my $15 bluetooth headset AND THAT F$#%CKEN $20 LANYARD!!!"
Well, at least we got a new way of saying elastic "tensile strength magcord"
God, he can't be serious. And the blue tooth that's hanging in the beginning, lol, hilarious. 20 Bucks, that's impressive tho.
This thing probably costs more than that dollar store BT piece.
Can I use this to keep my head up while falling asleep at meetings? If so, this is pure win.
You know, if I wanted a wire hanging from my earpiece, I'd use a wired earpiece. If you need to be so quick on the draw to get your earpiece in that you'll leave it hanging like that maybe you're one of those people who should just never take it off....
"So thin you don't even notice it's there". Right, that big string on his shoulder must be from the laundry.
no more junk on my face please!
CLIP IT TO YOUR EARLOBE.
(...anyway, I think these are candidates for FAIL pics)
I've heard of blue balls, but a bluDANGLE probably means you should let up on your grip.
