Does anyone know of a reasonably priced bluetooth headset that doesn't have a blinking light -- or preferably, any light at all (or at least one you can turn off)?
The Jabra BT800 has a blinking blue light, but you can turn it off via the menus. Not sure if the BT800 is still available, but I quite like mine, and yes, the first thing I did was turn off the stupid light. If its off the market, you might want to see if other Jabras offer the same ability, since apparently Jabra the company does recognize this as a useful feature.
I was curious, so I checked. I can't tell if any of the new Jabras have the "turn off light completely" feature, but a number have something called "quiet mode", which at least turns off the light after 1 minute, and one (the 8010, I think) does describe itself as letting you set the brightness, but doesn't say if one brightness level is "OFF".
Barring that, black electrical tape is your friend.
Good luck,
Bob
