Mobile headsets have advanced significantly in technology. Not limited to the traditional styles, the new mobile headsets are a class apart when it comes to style, design and sound abilities. With companies offering a wide collection of different styles of headsets. Headsets are no longer a mere audio device that transmits sound, but also come with controls over the playback of the sound from your mobile phone. This includes forwarding, muting, or pausing the playback. Below mentioned are some of the advantages of mobile headsets that make it a suitable option not only for music lovers but for everyone Advantages of using Mobile Headsets Easy to use: The new mobile headsets make it easier to change the playback music. This makes it a preferred choice of people on the go who often use public transport or walk outside Sound: Wearing a headset ensures smooth flow of sound as the microphone moves in accordance with the head movement. This ensures that the voice remains consistent. Unlike the traditional models, the new mobile headsets come with noise canceling technology. Also the microphone has the ability to filter 75% of background sounds. This ensures a smooth experience as the callers are not disrupted by the outside noise. The binaural headset,covering both ears, helps in reducing distracting background clatter, thus assisting in better telephonic conversations. Freedom and productivity: Mobile headsets lend freedom and allow users to keep their hands free for other useful purposes. For instance, in a customer care center a mobile headset allows the executive to freely use the computer, make notes, etc., thus making the entire process more productive and efficient as well. Wireless headsets comes with the additional freedom as the user can move around freely without having his hands next to his ears. It also allows the user to answer and end calls while not being on the station. Speed: Since mobile headsets alter the playback, the users can manage it with the help of controls on a headset. This is quite useful for travelers, who have to sometimes, pause or mute the playback. Body Posture: Holding a phone handset up to one ear for a long period affects the body posture and causes people to suffer from neck and back discomfort. For people who are constantly over the phone, this can be a cause of worry as it can lead to repetitive strain injury. This is one reason why physiotherapists' chiropractors recommend people to use headsets. Mobile headsets are excellent for organizations as they enhance productivity, health and morale within the place of work. Now although the regular headsets allow you to keep your hands free, the wireless option, on the other hand, enables users to move freely and still complete the assigned calls.

Metal detectors are electronic instruments used to detect foreign bodies such as metal items hidden within objects or buried underground. First found around 1960, metal detectors ever since have had several uses in various industries. Check out some of the most popular uses of metal detecting devices. Security Screening Prior to the rectangular gantry now standard at airports, magnetometers were the first metal detecting devices used sometime in 1970. Metal detectors both hand held and walk through, are of great utility at public places and sensitive areas to ensure security and evade potential threats from carrying weapons like guns and knives. These are mostly used to avoid illegal and unauthorized entry of metallic objects at airports, metro stations, malls, prisons, courthouses, hotels, clubs etc. Handheld devices precisely locate the presence of metal objects on a person and are extremely portable, easy to use and efficient. Archaeology First used in 1958 by a military historian to detect firing lines at a battle, metal detectors began to be used extensively in archaeology. Most archaeologists now, however, discourage the use of metal detectors by seekers of artifacts and site lovers as their activity usually disrupts archaeological sites. Since ordinary seekers find objects without archiving or recording its context, the cultural and historical significance of the object is lost. To resolve this issue, many countries impose certain rules on hobbyists and ordinary people using metal detectors on specific sites. Industrial metal detector Developed by Bruce Kerr and David Hiscock in 1947, industrial metal detectors were first used by Mars Incorporated to inspect mars chocolate bars for adulterated items. Later industries dealing with pharmaceuticals, food, beverage, textiles, garments, plastics, chemicals etc. incorporated metal detection as a compulsory safety measure in the production process. Food manufacturing industries use metal detectors as a precaution to check for metal shards from broken machinery in food items during production and packaging. Metal detectors help spot foreign objects in food items before it is packed. Garment factories make use of metal detectors in sewn garments to ensure that all garments are free from any traces of metals like needles, broken needles etc. When contaminated objects undergo metal detectors, an unequal disturbance is felt in the device that further creates a small electronic signal and some amplification. Once that happens, a mounted device is signaled to remove foreign products from the production line. All this happens automatically to avoid uninterrupted manufacturing process in big factories. Hobby Metal detectors are used in a big way as various types of hobbies as well. Coin shooting, prospecting, treasure hunting and beach combing are some of the popular activities that use metal detectors to locate lost, hidden and distant objects.

The best thing about buying cowgirl boots is that you get a comfortable and stylish pair that you can use for a long period of time. When you buy a pair of cowgirl boots you need to decide its purpose - whether you are planning to use it on an everyday basis or for formal occasions or simply as a fashion statement. It is only after you pick how you are going to use your cowgirl boots that you can decide what type of style or material would suit your needs. It is important to remember that cowgirl boots are usually highly priced and therefore you need to set up a budget if you want something more fashionable than mere function. Here are a few important tips you have to keep in mind while picking your first ever cowgirl boots: The sizes of cowgirl boots are way different from regular footwear; they both do not fit the same way. When you decide to buy cowgirl boots, you have to start by picking out the right size more than getting just the right color or shape. The best way to start is to get the measurement of your feet because you can customize the cowgirl boots according to your needs if you decide to make an exquisite pair. While it is true that there will be boots that have leather, your cowgirl boots have to be comfortable for you from the first time you try them on because the fit will be the same for as long as you wear them. Usually, we just try on footwear and assume that the socks will fill in the gaps and just go with our choice. You cannot do the same with cowgirl boots because the gap varies and make sure to wear either knee high socks or boot socks to ensure you get the right size. Also, make sure that the instep is the right fitting so that you do not have heel slippage issues. You can check this by sliding your finger through the boot and see if you get a wrinkle, it should not be too deep or close.

Counter depth refrigerators add a defined style and elegance to our kitchens. All major retailers have stocked various brands and styles of counter depth refrigerators in their stores. But are all counter depth refrigerators same? The answer is no. Counter depth refrigerators vary with sizes, styles, and models. Pros and cons of a counter depth refrigerator Counter depth refrigerators are the first choice of consumers at large. The term counter depth can be quite misleading, as all counter depth come with different dimensions. Before deciding to buy one, let us understand the pros and cons that are associated with any counter depth refrigerator. Pros

• Built-in look A seamless kitchen, where everything including a refrigerator fits-in to the T, is perfect. The reason behind the popularity of counter depth refrigerator is its uniform look. The fact that your refrigerator is aligned with the countertop gives a nice feel to the kitchen.
• Accessible All the drawers and shelves are placed at a height to eliminate unnecessary bending. The advantage of a counter depth refrigerator is its easy accessibility. Food items stored at the back is easy to retrieve without having to dig around.
• Choices Counter depth refrigerators have all types of styles to choose from, like standard, side-by-side, French door and bottom freezer. Of course, while choices are galore, dimensions matter.
• Easy flow There can be traffic of sorts in the kitchen area if the refrigerator is too close to the island or is protruding outside. But the same cannot be said for a counter depth refrigerator, as it matches very neatly with the kitchen cabinets without any hinges hanging out.
• Organized The door bins are wider and longer to store maximum things of any size, which is missing in a standard refrigerator. This keeps food organized and easier to locate.

Cons

• Replacement If buying a counter depth refrigerator as a replacement for your old refrigerator, then one has to be certain about the height, depth, and width of the area where the refrigerator has to be placed. A counter depth refrigerator requires enough depth to fit in.
• Less freezer space Though the counter depth refrigerator gives more storage room in the refrigerator section, it compromises on the freezer space to compensate. Whatever type of freezer, one selects, be it top mounted or bottom mounted; the freezer space is less compared to the refrigerator.
• Clearance Whether the door opens either way or it is a 2-door counter depth refrigerator, it will require certain clearance from either side to open wide. Any cabinets nearby can cause hindrance and trouble opening the doors.
• Crisper drawers While crisper drawers are a good feature to keep fruits and vegetables fresh, they are shorter and smaller. Accommodating bigger and bulkier foodstuff like celery or watermelon can be a challenging task.
• Lack of coordination The problem with counter depth refrigerators is their uneven sizes. At times because of a space crunch in old houses, either they are smaller than standard units or they lack depth if they are wide enough. Either way, a buyer has to compromise on many fronts.
• French doors Some buyers do not find the idea of French doors reasonable. To get one food item, they have to open both the doors, which can waste energy and leaks cold air.

Investing in a counter depth refrigerator is a long-term decision. Weigh the pros and cons before you think of buying one. While space is an important factor that determines which type of refrigerator is ideal for you, there are other considerations like features and area clearance too, that matters. Investing in a counter depth refrigerator is more like having a functional space than mere cubic feet.
