BlueParrot B250-XT Bluetooth headset promises 16 hours talk time

Shane McGlaun, Dec 30th 2009 Discuss [0]

There are uses for a Bluetooth headset other than for hands free driving in a car. Users can use the headset at their computer for VoIP conversations without having to speak into a mic standing on a desk or built into their computer. VXI has a new Bluetooth headset called the B250-XT BlueParrot wireless headset that will work for multiple uses. Read The Full Story

BrickHouse Security 159-ME-PASSIVE Bluetooth headset hides deep inside the ear

Shane McGlaun, Nov 30th 2009 Discuss [3]

One of my big pet peeves is when people wear Bluetooth headsets when they aren’t driving and can actually hold the handset up to their ear. A long time ago I could see the Bluetooth headset as a status symbol, but today everyone, including my Grandma, has one so we aren’t impressed. If you like to wear Bluetooth headsets but don't want others knowing you are wearing it, here is the product for you. Read The Full Story

Bluetooth Spy Headset makes you look properly crazy [Video]

Chris Davies, Nov 23rd 2009 Discuss [8]

Bluetooth headsets are generally dull, but slap a "spy!" label on them and they become instantly appealing. Well, maybe not instantly, but when you're looking at a headset that fits invisibly into your ear canal then we're pretty darned impressed; BrickHouseSecurity are offering the covert earpiece, which promises to make you look even crazier as you apparently argue with yourself while walking down the road.

Sanwa 400-HS015 bone-conduction Bluetooth sunglasses

Chris Davies, Oct 22nd 2009 Discuss [1]

Our experiences with bone conduction have been mixed; we didn't have fantastic results with Motorola's Endeavor HX1 Bluetooth headset but a brief play with music-centric headphones have been more impressive. So we're holding judgement on the Sanwa 400-HS015 Bluetooth sunglasses until we read a review: they hook up to your cellphone, PMP or notebook and stream stereo audio via the Bluetooth A2DP profile, but use bone-conduction rather than traditional in-ear buds.

Sony Ericsson MH907 SensMe headphones review

Chris Davies, Oct 13th 2009 Discuss [0]

Sometimes it’s simple ideas that are the best, and Sony Ericsson’s SensMe system is a good example. Used for the first time in the Sony Ericsson MH907 headphones, SensMe remotely-controls music playback and voice calls via sensors in the earbuds themselves. Gimmick or must-have accessory?

Celltronix VR1 Bluetooth headset adds recording functionality

Chris Davies, Oct 13th 2009 Discuss [0]

The ability to record phonecalls is pretty standard on cellphones these days, though it's arguably one of the less-commonly-used functions out there. So we're a little bemused by the Celltronix VR1 Recordable Bluetooth Headset; as well as supporting Bluetooth 2.1+EDR with multipoint for dual simultaneous connections, it can record up to 8 minutes of your conversation.

Nectar Bluetooth accessories now available

Shane McGlaun, Oct 1st 2009 Discuss [0]

I am not a big fan of Bluetooth headsets outside of the car. I think people who wear their Bluetooth headset everywhere and talk while they are in the mall or at a restaurant, using them should be pummeled in the gonads. I can understand needing to keep your eyes on the road while driving though and Nectar has a line of accessories that are designed to keep your Bluetooth headset nearby. Read The Full Story

Shane McGlaun, Sep 25th 2009 Discuss [0]

Bluetooth headsets tend to all be very similar with many of the same features and the only thing that sets many of them apart from each other is their price and the design. A new Bluetooth headset from iTech has launched called the i.VoicePRO 901 with some nice features at a good price. Read The Full Story

Jabra Stone Bluetooth headset revealed 26 days early

Chris Davies, Sep 24th 2009 Discuss [1]

The great thing about teaser campaigns is that they give plenty of time for leaks to take place, and that's just what we've seen with Jabra's new Bluetooth headset, the Jabra Stone. While the preview site says you won't get any more than a slinky silhouette for another 26 days, Gizmodo's tipsters would rather you saw the curiously-coiled headset ahead of time.

Sony Ericsson Motion Activated MH907 headphones: your ears’ remote control [Video]

Chris Davies, Sep 21st 2009 Discuss [0]

Sony Ericsson promised to revolutionise personal audio, and while that's so loaded with PR hyperbole we'd normally just throw any subsequent press release straight out of the window, it turns out their Motion Activated MH907 headphones are pretty nifty. The stereo headset is the first to use SensMe, where capacitive sensors in each earbud can track whether they're in your ears or not, and remotely control your cellphone accordingly.
