Bluetooth headsets suck, mostly due to the fact that they’re butt ugly and turn users into talking-to-themselves crazy people. But this latest design takes care of the first issue—so long as you’re a lady (says designer Fandi Meng).

As you can see, the headset is more earring than funky robotic ear leech, and it actually looks kind of nice in a futuristic fashionista kind of way.

Like a traditional headset, you tap the sensor to answer an incoming call, and talk into the air like a idiot as normal. But you look good, especially if you happen to be a model. [Fandi Meng via Design Blog]
