See that pile of junk? There’s more where that came from. I want to give it to you. Why? Because I like you. How can you win it? I’m going to invent some devious contests over the next five days and give away something new and cool to the winner(s) each day.
Where is all this stuff coming from? I just redid my upstairs office and found a ton of junk lying around cluttering things up. Although basically don’t keep this stuff and have to send it back, sometimes things fall through the cracks and I want my problems with gadget storage to be your gain.
Today’s contest will be pretty easy, but oh the prizes you can win. Oh the prizes.
Today is headset day and we have three real doozys.
Iogear GBE211 wireless headset
Motorola ROKRS9 sports bluetooth stereo headphones
To enter, simply describe how you will ensure that you won’t look like a dork while wearing these Bluetooth devices. Perhaps you could wear a hat with ear flaps? Beadazzle them? Paint them with nail polish?
Remember to add your email in the comment - not in the actual text but in the email field - and be sure to tell us which headset you want. We’ll pick three winners at random. Good luck and stay tuned for more excitement!
I would wear the ROKRS9s but I tend to like beanie caps. I could probably hide them well with that.
Or I could just always wear a Burger King Crown and that crown will be so distracting no one will care what is in my ear.
Thanks BlueAnt looks pretty awesome! And I would make myself look awesome too by wearing my 180s (http://www.180s.com) with it that I got for Christmas last year! A win-win for me and for the world… :)
Yip
I’d love to get the ROKRS9s and wear them at the gym. I’ve really been looking for a wireless solution to listening to music on my phone.
I don’t think I’d try to hide it. Dork is me.
chuck’em
I would hide this Blue Ant Z9i knowing it’s small enough within my pair of gigantic Panasonic headphones. This would require removing the current speaker system, dremeling a bit and add smaller ipod earphones. Music + less dorkiness = win.
well, if im going to look a fool wearing them, might as well do it right. wear the long ear flap beanie with the tassles on top. sexy.
I would first paint the rokr59 white then quickly scribble on them iheadphones. If that becomes too suspicious i would wear them with my http://thriftyknitter.com/?p=84 to completely camouflage them
I would rock these Blue Ant’s with my homeless costume. I love
watching crazy people wearing bluetooth devices on the street.
I want to be like them.
I’d wear the Motorola ROKRS9 backwards, get some clear tubing, and buy an empty oxygen tank to cart around. String up the tubing and wheeze heavily. Can’t blame a person for wearing something that keeps them alive! And it makes for a good anti smoking presence. Dorky would be the last thing on any ones mind then.
Someone as distinguished as me needs the Iogear piece. It would be kept well under raps by my patented Cousin Eddie hat (http://www.airforums.com/attachments/gallery/files/4/2/5/7/cousin_eddie-med.bmp). And if it’s still peaking out from under a flap, I’ll just have to bust out the complete outfit and the headset will be the last thing people see.
I would wear them with my hat that says “DORK” on it http://www.ecrater.com/product.php?pid=1586193
Thus, by awknowledging my dorkiness I become “cool” :)
I would conceal my douchitude by hiding the ROKRS9 under a gigantic turqoise Bedazzled® sombrero.

I got one; cover them with those old-school 80’s ear-muffs!! I mean come on, people will be to busy judging you wearing ear-muffs ( possibly in a nerdy fasion) but hey, their not judging you for the earpiece!!!
BLASTED DOUBLE COMMENTS!!! ARHGGH
I could really use the Motorola ROKRS9. I recently jailbroke my iphone 3G and have a hard time running with it and the ear buds always falling out. I could even shave my head to draw everyone’s attention away from the headset and to my head.
I would wear the Blue Ant Z9i but I wouldn’t want to hide it, I would just explain to everyone that it is an accessory to go with my dreadlocks, that I will start growing . . . . now . . . ish.
I figure if I go out on the town naked the last thing people would notice would be my dorky blue tooth headset.
Let be naked…
I’d wear the Motorola ROKRS9’s backwards so that the back part is covering my eyes, kinda like Geordi LaForge in Star Trek: The Next Generation. Because that’s not dorky at all. . .
I guess the blue ant? But the ROKRs would be OK too, even though I would never use them. Anything would be nice!
Gadgets…
No need to do anything. Nothing wrong with looking like a dork.
The Motorola looks good.
I want the Z9i so I can feel important. I’d cover it with a Master Chief helmet so I can look cool. And I just really want to win something from CrunchGear :).
Well, the Bluetooth stereo headphones would look just fine in my dead end geek job. No one ever sees or talks to me.
The headsets would be a welcome replacement to the unbelieveably painful Verizon-branded Jabra BT135 I got from Woot years ago for the low low price of $10 for 2. 1 was promptly gifted. Headsets are basically required for safe driving, which I seem to do alot of.
I’d like to rock the Blue Ant headset. I’ve always wanted to look like a soccer mom yelling her imaginary friend in Walmart.
omg I just peed mself a little! Still rofling!
There is no way to cover up the douchebaggery of the Motorola ROKRS9 sports bluetooth stereo headphones. They’re like the sunglasses that are worn upside down and on the back of your head - it’s the male version of the tramp tat.
How to hide the ugliness? Wear them in front over my eyes, like Levar Burton on ST:TNG.
Seriously, though, don’t send me that piece.
I’d wear the Motorola ROKRS9s under my ski mask so i could rock out down the slopes. no one would ever no there there and if they could see them no one would know who i was since i have a ski mask on.
My wife would hide the Blue Ant behind her long black hair
I’d wear the BlueAnt Z9i, in part because it’s the least dorky of the bunch but also because it’s fairly easy to hide.
Just to confuse people, I’d wear some over-ear headphones (you know, the kind with oversized cups) to obscure the headset. I’d then look like some serious yet non-dorky audiophile, at least until people realize the headphones aren’t actually plugged into anything.
I would sport the ROKRS9 with my retainer which I still have and just go full dork, or perhaps what’s called a halo for people who broke their necks for the sympathy/pity look!
I’m a real life priest … any of these would be an improvement over geekyness, but I’d help you with those red ones … they match my car, all I’d need would be some white out and I could make a little “collar” on the back so people would know they were looking at the back of a priest :-)
Two words: paper bag.
It’s cold up here, so those back-of-the-head earmuffs could hide the ROKRS9.
I ski with a headband on so the RokrS9’s would be totally invisible to all and would also allow me to completely ignore the douches normally found on a chairlift.
But to insure their awesomeness even when I’m rocking out headband free I would have that sh** dipped in gold, nothing says class like gold plated wraparound headphones.
I would like the Motorola ROKRS9 sports bluetooth stereo headphones. I’ll color my hair red, negating any chance of someone actually caring about what headset I’m wearing.
Your office full of junk looks yummy. If I must walk around seeming to be an unmedicated schizophrenic talking to myself, I would like to win the sports model that fits like a head band with ear buds. I could decorate this model to match outfits. It could become the new accessory of the decade.
I would add some wires to the IOGear one and make it look like they’re attached to my mouth, so it looks like I’m wearing “head gear” like Shelly on South Park. That way I look stupid instead of looking like a dork. Might throw some aluminum foil in there to top things off.
I have an IOGear keyboard so IOGear is good for me.
P.S. - one of your contests should be having people make up a contest to win things.
I’d like the logear GBE211. I asked my wife for a pair of ear muffs for Christmas, and they’ll do a good job of hiding this.
The easiest way to prevent my Motorola ROKRS9 headphones from looking dorky?
Wear the tiniest, tightest, most yellow pair of spandex I can find. The ladies get one look at those, they won’t even notice the headphones.
I want to check out the stereo ROKRS - I’m sure I’ll look like a huge dork, but I’ll be at home anyway, so no one will b the wiser…
Motorola ROKRS9+Hoody/headband=win
Honestly… it is the perfect combination of non-dorkyness, and wireless music!
Also it gives me an excuse to wear a headband!
definitely a beanie
Rokrs. Please. Fake dreds. Thanks.

Impossible, headset = dork. I’d still wear one, though.
Well, I got my Blackberry Storm today, maybe if I get one of those, I won’t look as dorky … wait I’m going to anyways, shit.
I would go for the motorola for exercising and may just wear a bandanna to “hide” it. hehe
I would go for the blue ant because mine just broke when I “tossed” it after my computer froze. That is all.
I’d buy an ironic t-shirt, put on an ironic 80s sport windbreaker and wear the Motorola ROKRS9s in Brooklyn and listen to bands that no one knows yet. Voila, i am a Williamsburg hipster, very cool and wearing good headphones.
I would wear 70’s style earmuffs. I hope i can get a date wit Donna. Hey , wheres Fez?
I would rock any one of these!
