What is the Smallest Bluetooth Earpiece?
When it comes to personal technology, the consensus seems to be that smaller is better. Look at how much cell phones themselves have shrunk since their inception. At one time, they were much larger than your average house phone and required a briefcase size kit to be carried. Now they are so tiny, they are no larger than your credit cards.
It makes perfect sense that we would want to shrink down Bluetooth earpieces as well, especially because we wear them. No one wants a bulky headset on all day long. Fortunately, there are some very tiny Bluetooth earpieces on the market. Depending on what you need, they range in size from small to extremely tiny.
So, what is the smallest Bluetooth earpiece?
Actually, at this time the smallest Bluetooth earpiece is so tiny it is literally invisible and impossible to detect as well.
Marketed for law enforcement or "covert operations", the Micro earpiece is the smallest Bluetooth earpiece out there. It fits inside of your ear drum and is undetectable to an outside observer. Not only can you not see it, but you cant hear it from the outside as well. It works by vibrating sound directly in to the eardrum of the wearer. As for the microphone, this is a neck loop device that you wear around your neck or under your clothes.
The Micro Earpiece is covert Bluetooth at it's most advanced. Although it is excellent spy gear, any average person can order one. Just be sure that you are comfortable with inserting and removing the earpiece from your eardrum. Once in, you can talk completely incognito!
If you aren't exactly looking for an invisible Bluetooth earpiece, there are some consumer oriented earpieces that are very small. In the consumer market, the smallest Bluetooth earpiece is thought to be the Motorola H5 Miniblue.
The Motorola H5 can pipe music and cell phone conversations directly in to your ear from it's compact wireless earpiece. Designed with a long battery life for extended use, the H5 can switch from music to calls hands free. With noise canceling features and design, background noise is no problem with the Motorola H5.
If you are looking to purchase a Motorola H5, then you will find that they are quite affordable at around $50 retail. Most electronics retailers carry this popular model.
While many Bluetooth earpieces are small, these are the smallest there is right now. Who knows how small earpieces may get in the future. With the constant advancements in technology and the tendency to shrink personal electronics we may someday have a fully embeddable device. In the meantime, these earpieces are as small as it gets and that's pretty tiny.
