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!
