Lost a $60 bluetooth headset, flew 4,000km and spent more than 500 million VND to find it

 He tried to get it back from airport staff. But after 4 hours of waiting, he was informed that his bluetooth headset had disappeared, perhaps some passenger had taken it. The guy started his journey to find his headphones. Because this headset is extremely special to him, he is determined that no matter how much money he spends, he must find it.

Days later, the boy tracked his bluetooth headset through the bluetooth phone connection application on his phone. And the guy was shocked to see his bluetooth headset flying around the world, from Qatar to Kathmandu, then to Saudi Arabia, to Kuwait, a small village in the Himalayas of Nepal, stopping briefly in Thailand and finally returned to Doha, Qatar.

He decided to fly to Doha to search for his headphones. During this process, the guy went with two local friends he met at the hotel. After hearing his story, they also wanted to join the adventure to find the lost bluetooth headset.

All three people were constantly checking applications to close the gap with the bluetooth headset. The clues eventually led them to an apartment building. All three people went door to door trying to connect to the device via Bluetooth. After much searching, they were able to set up and communicate with the bluetooth headset, and found the room containing their headset.

The homeowner let them in and the lost bluetooth headset was returned to the owner.

This guy shared that he thanked the manufacturers for creating bluetooth headset positioning technology. Without this great app, he can't find out where his headphones are.

This guy's journey to find a headset worth 50 pounds (about 60 USD) has cost more than 20,000 pounds (equivalent to about 24,370 USD) including food, plane travel and hotel expenses.

The guy said he had no unpleasant feelings about the flight of more than 4,000 km, the strenuous search or the expense, but he was very happy to have found his headphones.
