I dropped my Plantronics Bluetooth headset the other night, moving some boxes into the apartment. I keep it hung on the collar of my shirt, and it often falls off.
I thought it was lost forever, and was resigned to having to spend $60 or so to get a new one. But last night, I was checking my mail on my phone, and I got the “Bluetooth Headset Connection Active” popup – my headset is inside, somewhere close enough to my couch to pair with my phone.
At least I know it’s inside, but I still have no idea where it is. I guess that’s one nice thing about Bluetooth that makes it a little harder to lose things.

Thats awesome. I would love to lose something and have to track it by Bluetooth. Now if only it said hotter or colder on there…
I misplaced my bluetooth headset in the house also, and finally solved the problem. Hopefully you can try this as long as you are able to connect with the headset from the cell phone:
Here are the steps:
1. Connect to the headset from the cell phone.
2. Call a friend on the landline.
3. Have your friend use his cell phone to call your cell phone, while remaining on the land line
4. Your friend will hear your voice on the cell phone.
5. Walk around the house and have your friend tell you when you are loudest. That is where the headset will be found!
Voila!
its funny but that way works for me i found my bluetooth.
its incredible how many things you can find on internet, hehe.
Hi,
I have lost my bluetooth headset and couldn’t find it since 2 months.
I have a party store and I lost it there somewhere. Whenever I had been in the store, I could be able to connect to the bluetooth headset untill 1 week but now I am not. I know it is in the store but there are so many stuff in the store so hard to check everything. I looked all the area, I remember to see it last time.But now its not able to connect.
Does anybody know how to find it with the “Find Me” button in motorola razr phone. Does it “beep”?
Please help me if someone knows the way to find it.
I lost my bluetooth headset somewhere in the house. I know I used it last night and tonight I was able to connect to it in most but not all rooms. The voice method suggested above did not work but I then got a whistle. BINGO! We tracked it down to my dressing room, where I found it in the pocket of a robe I wore last night. I’m glad the battery held up long enough to keep the bluetooth connected. That was the key. Thanks to Dick who posted his method in Oct 2006.
I am currently hunting my own. I have narrowed it down to the downstairs but the stinking DSP on my P-tronics Voyager 855 is so good its like not picking up any ambient noise… I making as much noise as possible and cant figure it out… The 855 also allows for stereo music to play thru but I cant get the blooming thing to switch to streaming music mode without hittin the button on the headset… i will keep trying things…
Thanks guys! Worked like a charm! Found it in the couch all the way where the springs were. Man it was driving me crazy!
I lost my turned off bluetooth which is compatible for a 8550 verizon mobile phone, is there a button to press on the phone that will detect it in the house somewhere even though the bluetooth is turned off. Also, how to I get the phone to reconnect to the bluetooth?
Thanks.
I lost my bluetooth while cleaning my room(how ironic).I used the bluetooth for my ps3 to talk online.I tore up my house trying to find it, but I just cant.Please if someonee has any advice or a bluetooth tracker I could download,please email me at soundcheck211@yahoo.com,it really sucks being the onyone not able to talk online =\
heeey
i lost my bluetooth yesterday,
i was cleaning up my house..the day i used my bluetooth.
and its very important that i find it
any ideas..and yes i read the above they dont help
I lost mine too. If you don’t want to call a friend you can do this yourself with you landline telephone or another cell phone. I justed walked around the house talking till i found it.
what dick said (about the landline idea) is very useful fo my situatioin, as i has a motoralla universal bluetooth, and a sony erecson phone. As I could still connect this worked for me, good thinking
, and thank you
Another tip is when you walk around with say another cell phone or cordless, make sure to mute the talking phone and plug your ear that isn’t against the receiver.
Thanks for the tips as well I lost my Bluetooth outside with tons of fallen leaves etc… And also in the dark. It took some time but I eventually found it with the cordless method. Cheers.
Another kudo from me out to Dick; his method worked perfectly (found it under the seat of me car).
just wanted to say thanks found the device with another cell phone…
I lost earpiece and I knew it was in the house I did what Dick suggested and had my wife call me on my cell phone. I started by having her listen to see if she could hear me talk. She yelled at me from the back room and I heard her in the kitchen she yelled two more times and my eyes went right to it. I was hunting for it for about 4 hours until I decided to look on the internet for suggestions and found this blog.
Thanks,
Sam
I just wanna say thanks. I had been looking for mine for like an hour and I knew it had to be in or around my apartment because it was paired. After readings some of the suggestions in this blog I borrowed a cellphone from a friend and called my cellphone and set it up to the blue tooth and stared to talk loud holding my friend’s cellphone to my ear trying to hear my own voice, after a minute or so I was able to hear myself as I got closer to my bed on my bedroom, and surprise!! It was underneath my bed. I was lucky my dogs didn’t find it, they would up chew it up into pieces. I was very lucky. Hope this helps. THANKS!!
First off want to say thanks for sharing this idea. I ended up calling my cell from the land line. Once connected to cell(blue tooth active) I muted my land line. Grabbed the Itouch and started a song. Walked around till I could hear the blue tooth through my land line picking up music.
I happen to have misplaced both of blue tooths I own, this was a time saver! Found both with in five minutes.
FWIW Once I found the current connected one, I turned it off and connected to the other lost one via cell phone.
