Far from being lipstick in a designer holding case, this is the Plantronics Discovery 640 Bluetooth headset. After seeing the LG headset it was a relief to get to the Plantronics stand and see some decent alternatives.

This has actually been available since about autumn and cost from about $99, but unfortunately Plantronics told us they aren't announcing any new products at CES, so this is about as close as we'll get.

It's a discreet headset, in that the earpiece sits in your ear, but doesn't also need a hook to go over it. Aimed at business people, it comes with a case full of recharging options, including an AA battery connection, and clips-on with that can take any mobile phone charger.

If you don't want to wear it all the time, it beeps when you are receiving a call, and is pretty quick and easy to slip out of its case and into your ear - we know, because we tried.
