Does anyone know if anyone makes such a thing?

Imagine a USB memory stick form factor. Then imagine that the stick itself is the Bluetooth earpiece. The USB plug part of it is how it charges up. No cords of any kind.

Anyone know if this exists?

Awesome! I guess my google searches had too many keywords.

The first one looks like what I'm looking for if the mic quality is decent.

The second one is hard to tell from the web page if the charging port is regular or micro (I'm looking for regular).

The third one looks like it's music-playback only, no mic (though not certain about that) but at US $15.00 I doubt the quality would be high.

Thanks!!

Reading the blurb on the first one, it's a combo memory card and headset. Though that would work for me, the headset part is the only part that is important, so I would wonder if headset quality was sacrificed to make it a memory card reader too. Still, I'll try to find reviews of it, and also try to find more information on the second one too.

The third one is definitely a full headset:

You can see the hole from the mic on some of the shots.

Cool. I'm ordering the third one. At US$15, it's a pretty low risk experiment!

Thanks.

It arrived!

It is very small, extremely lightweight, and charges quickly enough when plugged directly into a USB power port.

Playback sound with YouTube and telephone is decent, though I haven't actually used the microphone yet.

The included instructions are 100% Chinese, but thus far it has been very predictable in operation, so unless there are hidden advanced features, the instructions don't seem to be needed.
