The bluespoon headset does this flashing blue light thingy - which is quite cool if you want to see in the dark - but is otherwise just a really good way of attracting unwanted attention when you bought a small earpiece to be discrete...
Simple question - anybody know of a way of shutting the flashing light off (without resorting to sticky-tape) ?

I have to say that it can get really worrying when driving a car at night - every 20 seconds you see a flashing blue light in your rear view mirror. Call me paranoid...

You cant shut it off without ruining the headset.
And its not meant to be shut off,...as it also indicates when the headset needs to be recharged
I know that it also makes a sound when it needs to be recharged,..but you might not hear the sound,..or you might not be wearing the headset at that specific time,..so it flashes
Other headsets actually flash too,..e.g. HBH-10,15 and so on.
Another thing is, people use to complain, about not being able to see if headset needed recharging or was turned on/off,...no problems here with the Bluespoon,..itīll let you know.

I appreciate that it needs to provide information back, but may I suggest that flashing red when the battery is low would be enough. And even a small led on the inside of the unit that could be seen once the unit has been removed from the ear if it has to be there at all.
I think that if you do some market research that a descrete unit is a very high priority.
Kind Regards,

Well it's not exactly a high priority for this user.
Maybe you could elaborate?

I think what he means is that most bluetooth headsets (like the Ericsson ones) make you look like a geek. The advantage of the Bluespoon is its small size. However the flashing blue light draws attention to it. Quite simple really...

lol at this one
Do you whisper when using the Bluespoon or just talk normally
Though I guess when the jawbone mic arrives this could be feasible ... over to you Jan.
No disrespect to you moi, I know everyone has different requirements and one mans meat is another mans poison etc ...

I think the flashing light is somewhat useful as it lets people know that you are on a call. When I'm wearing a headset people usualy ask me if i'm on the phone, with the flashing light they know it already.

You know Jan, it just goes to prove that no matter how hard you try you cant make everyone happy. You have designed a great product that has set a new standard and you should be proud.

I definately agree with moi. I have my self a sticky-tape on both my T68i and my Bluespoon. It is not only irritating while using it, looking like some alien but also while driving in the dark. It is a strong flash and VERY worrying...
Might be something for Nextlink to look into.
