Firegram Mini ear Bluetooth Headset
Amazon's catalog no longer lists this product (checked 2026-11-02). The name comes from the link HN users posted.
This would be a thing in both ears, and a very unobtrusive thing at that. So maybe not as jackass-ish as the usual standard.
And that's maybe not wholly something I understand anyway, but sort of feel bad about regardless. I mean, I do wear one [1] during my commute so I can listen to podcasts without wires all over the place, and I'm really hoping iOS 10's speech recognition via crappy mics is good enough that I can integrate voice control into my exocortex. Does that suffice to make me an asshole? Or does it require that I use it to have loud conversations about business things? Or what? I'm not all that sure I grasp the nuance here.
