Motorola H350 Bluetooth Headset - $9.99

Go to the mirror. Look straight ahead. Throw your left arm over your head. Grin stupidly. Well done. Now you look like a Motorola H350 Bluetooth Headset.

Don’t think of it as a hands-free way to use your Bluetooth 2.0 compatible phone. This is the twenty-first century “I’m A Little Teapot”, and you’re in on the ground floor. What’s better, ten hours of talk time with about two hundred hours of standby or knowing that your children’s children will be performing the Motorola H350 Bluetooth Headset in a pageant someday? In the interest of helping them, we’ve taken the liberty of writing some new lyrics:


I’m a Motorola
H three five oh
I work up to thirty feet from
A compatible Bluetooth phone
I’m tiny and I’m stylish
And I’m small
My one button places and receives all calls

We’re hoping this will lead to a musical, in the same way “Paradise By The Dashboard Light” led to “Batman Vs The Phantom Of The Opera”. And if it does, you know who’s getting free tickets to opening night? Us! And you know who we’re taking? Some really attractive person! But we’ll call you from the show, so get your Motorola H350 Bluetooth Headset now, and get ready to answer, because a plan like this, how could it go wrong?

  • One button for placing and receiving calls and two buttons for adjusting volume/mute
