IRVINE, Calif. -- IOGEAR's Bluetooth Wireless headset has been selected by Backstage Creations, specialists in award show gifts and custom backstage talent retreats, to be included in the Presenter Gift Collection for the 12th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards(R), which will be simulcast live on TNT and TBS on Sunday, Jan. 29 at 8 p.m. ET/PT, 7 p.m. CT and 6 p.m. MT.

Providing ultimate mobility, the IOGEAR Bluetooth Wireless headset allows people to talk without holding a phone up to their ear or dealing with the hassle of cables.

Weighing only 0.286 Lbs (13 grams) the GBE201 is comfortable to wear and includes a secure ear hook. Easy to operate, the headset features volume control and a built-in re-chargeable battery for use of up to 100 hours stand-by, 4.5 hours talk time. Allowing for greater convenience, the wireless device works anywhere up to 33 feet (10 meters) away from a Bluetooth cell phone.

Valued at $69.95, IOGEAR's Bluetooth Headset is available for those not receiving an Actor award from all major catalog resellers, online resellers and selected retail outlets.

Patricia Arquette, Benjamin Bratt, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Felicity Huffman, Eva Longoria, William Shatner, and Hilary Swank are just a few of the actors expected to receive a collection of custom designed gifts that are given as a thank you to the presenters at the 12th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards(R). Gift collections like the one received by the presenters as well as other SAG Awards(TM) one-of-a-kind items will be auctioned online Thursday, Jan. 5 to Thursday, Feb. 2 at www.sagawards.org/auction to raise money for the Screen Actors Guild Foundation.
