Top Bluetooth Wireless Headsets


Bluetooth headsets make up one of the fastest wireless markets here in the US and around the world. Headsets with Bluetooth wireless technology are capable of working with a variety of other Bluetooth enabled devices such as cell phones, PDAs, and digital music devices (like the iPod). Unlike conventional headsets, Bluetooth headsets do not require wires of any sort, but rather receive information from your portable device through 2.4GHz radio waves. The range of communication for most headsets is somewhere around 10 feet, which is usually plenty long.

Not surprisingly, there are a wide variety of Bluetooth headsets out there, and it really comes down to tastes in styles and preferred features as to which one is right for you. You'll want to make sure, for instance, that your Bluetooth device - whether it be an iPod, laptop, or PDA - will work with your chosen headphones. Here we list below some of the most popular Bluetooth headsets and their relevent features.

Logitech Mobile Bluetooth Headset

Logitech's Bluetooth headset is a real competitor in the market. It is a solid product with a dependable brand name, fully capable of providing sound connection between your cell phone and the headset. The device is entirely compatible with most major Bluetooth phones, but you may have to look into its compatibility with other devices. Like most headsets, the device can clip easily to either ear. It comes with an adjustable, swing-out boom that includes a noise-blocking microphone. The battery unit is rechargeable and is capable of giving you about 7 hours of talk time.

Motorola Bluetooth Headsets

Motorola currently has two stylish Bluetooth headsets on the market: the HS810 and HS820, and one soon to be released: the HS850. The HS810 and HS820 are very similar in style and shape.

Both devices are, of course, Bluetooth enabled and can thereby communicate with Bluetooth 1.1 compliant devices, including handsets, PDAs and computers. The device is compatible with the Motorola V600 and V710 phones. The HS810 and HS820 both weigh about 20 grams, and the HS820 has a slightly longer talk time range of 6 hours, compared with the HS810's 5 hours max. They both can run on standby for 100 hours. The HS820 has the ability to communicate with your phone up to 33 feet away, and is equipped with a couple nice features: conference call and voice dialing. The HS810 sells for $99.00 and the HS820 for $79.00.

Information concerning the newest headset by Motorola, the HS850, has just recently been released. Those lucky enough to have tested and reviewed this device have, so far, given it high marks. Like it predecessors, the HS850 has a simple yet attractive design. The main casing is black, with silver around the control area (image below). One of the more innovative features of this device is the flip-on connection system that enables the headset to connect with your phone as soon as you flip it open.

Jabra FreeSpeak Bluetooth Headsets

Jabra, a leading provider of hands-free communication devices is optimistic about its newest headset the Jabra FreeSpeak FS258 released recently in Malaysia. Weighing only 23 grams, the FS258 is the lightest behind-the-ear device produced by Jabra. The company is encouraged by a new trend in the US towards banning the use of cell phones while driving is some states, such as New Jersey.

The Hype Over Bluetooth Headsets


Bluetooth headsets sales have been more than doubling on a global basis for the last several years. We are talking in the hundreds of millions sold. So what is the hype? Why are Bluetooth headsets so popular? For starters Bluetooth headsets are chosen not only for their functionality but also for their wearability. Bluetooth headsets are generally very lightweight, worn over one ear and achieve talk times from 1-4 hours before needing a recharge.

Bluetooth headsets are being tailored to fit your fashionable needs. Bluetooth headsets are small, elegant headsets that usually weigh in at only 7.9 grams. Bluetooth headsets are truly a state-of-the-art technological advance and this technology is just out there waiting for you! Bluetooth headsets are the hands-free solution to communicating with friends and family while driving. With such a large market of bluetooth headsets is should be easy to find a bluetooth headset that will accommodate everyones needs and wants.

Some wireless headsets have a range of 100 metres (300 feet). Bluetooth headsets are only good for a range of about 1 meter (30 feet). So if you need to move a reasonable distance from your desk or away from your mobile phone you will need to have a Wireless headset rather than a bluetooth.

Some Bluetooth models are available in stereo, which you might consider a plus if you listen to music on your cell. But this luxury comes with a price, and yes they're expensive. Bluetooth Headsets are truly hands-free and thus comply with the new state laws that require drivers to use hands-free communications while driving. Moreover there are no wires to get tangled up in. Bluetooth technology is now used by most major headset manufacturers and are becoming very popular because they are some of the best headsets that you can buy.

One headset manufacturer in particular is Samsung. Samsung has demonstrated its versatility in the mobile industry by targeting the rapidly-growing mobile accessory market with the launch of some new Bluetooth headsets. Their latest Bluetooth headsets are elegantly designed and have superb sound quality. Samsung produces some of the smallest and lightest Bluetooth headsets found in the world. Samsung even produces headsets with No Earhooks that stays put in your ear like the Samsung Wep200.

If you are looking for battery life, the Plantronics Voyager 510 provides up to 12 hours of wireless talk time over your PC and pairs to your phone at the same time. With one press of a button you can switch back and forth between your PC and phone. Plantronics Bluetooth headsets are extensively used in many Fortune 500 corporations. They have been featured in numerous films and also many high-profile events.

For me, my personal choice for bluetooth is the Motorola H700, although mine is about a year old, I still love the lightweight and sound quality. It wasn't until I bought the motorola that my faith in bluetooth sound quality was revived. My previous bluetooth headsets were plagued with sound quality and severe echo problems. Motorola offers some very high quality bluetooth headsets with some sleek new designs.

No matter which bluetooth you choose, most well known manufacturers make a quality headset. Your choice will boil down to what features and options you want to have. Do your research and find which one offers the features you need and want at a price that meets your budget.

Top 10 Guidelines to Consider When Purchasing Bluetooth Wireless Headsets


Bluetooth accessories, such as Bluetooth wireless headsets have really come along way since Bluetooth technology was first introduced in 1999. Through this amazing discovery, wireless communication was made possible by enabling two devices connect to one another using low-frequency radio waves.

Wired gadgets and gizmos are gradually losing its glamour and becoming more and more a part of history. Bluetooth wireless headsets are undeniably one of the most "must haves" devices these days. Nevertheless, some people are quite confused what to check out to guarantee that they're getting a functional and high quality Bluetooth device worth their money.

To help you out, here are some pointers on how to choose the right Bluetooth headset that's perfect for your needs and preferences:

1.    Sound quality - Crisp clear and solid quality of sound is non-negotiable, and so is volume control, which are helpful during weak connection. You should try to look for Digital Signal Processing (DSP) Technology, which allows headset speakers to balance background noise by automatically augmenting the listening volume level. A great pick is the Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth Headset, considered as a noise-canceling headset.

2.    Ease of use - Comfort is another major factor you should prioritize. If the Bluetooth headset has an ear hook, check to see that it fits comfortably around your ear. If it has a boom, others have sizes to choose from to make them more suitable to wear. The "in the ear" headset is the least convenient option, but its clear sound quality and precision can still make it a clever alternative if you don't mind the positioning.

3.    Pairing - Device pairing is the ability of Bluetooth accessories to search and recognize other Bluetooth enabled devices, such as mobile phones, printers, PDAs, MP3 players, etc. An efficient Bluetooth wireless headset should be able to quickly find and work with up to seven devices.

4.    Range of use - Bluetooth devices should have a clear range of at least 30 feet (10 meters), which is the standard reach for Class 2 Bluetooth devices. To verify, use the headset in both obstructed and unobstructed distances from the phone or other wireless gadget.

5.    Usefulness - Check if there's a voice-activation feature, which is helpful for hands-free procedure. Are majority of the functions can be used that way? Remember that it would keep you out of trouble in most places if the device can be used hands-free while driving.

6.    Price - Bluetooth accessories can cost anywhere between $20-$200 roughly. Usually, the high-end units indicate better quality and superior functionality. Nonetheless, prices around $60-$100 will provide good quality, too.

7.    Battery life span - The common rant among Bluetooth users is poor battery life. A long-lasting Bluetooth headset can stand at least 8 hours of talk or play time and up to 100 hours when not in use. Check also how it charges and how long it takes to be fully recharged.

8.    Compatibility - It must employ at least Bluetooth 1.1 technology. Next in line, 1.2 version is rapidly becoming more universal; this version helps reduce radio frequency interference via a frequency hopping selection for enhanced security. 2.0 version has been also introduced on some devices, which has quicker transmission and lower battery use.

9.    Functionality - Features must be easily accessible using either voice-activation or hands-on maintenance. Some features to look for: last number redial, voice dialing, transfer call to or from phone, 3-way calling, mute, and volume control, to name a few.

10.    Appearance and design - Definitely not a trivial thing to consider is the look and style of the Bluetooth headset. There are currently two main styles of Bluetooth headsets: Boom or No Boom. Boom is a mouthpiece attachment that looks like something a telephone operator would use. This one can be a bit heavy and cumbersome but provides superior clarity. No Boom can be "in the ear" headsets (could be less comfortable to wear but more secure) or headsets that are fitted around the ear via a folding clip.

Keep in mind that Bluetooth technology is constantly evolving as well as Bluetooth accessories. Be sure that the one you decide on is compatible with a broad range of Bluetooth versions and devices to allow greater use and value for any upcoming development.

A Look At Bluetooth Headsets


A Look at Bluetooth Headsets

Because of its ease of use and compatibility with a number of systems, Bluetooth technology is quickly becoming one of the more common forms of wireless peripheral that is used by consumers today. By choosing to use Bluetooth headsets, it is possible to have a fully-functional headset that will easily transfer from cell phones, computers, and a variety of other systems to any other system that has Bluetooth capabilities. The information below should be of some use to you in deciding whether Bluetooth headsets are right for your personal and business headset needs, while also helping you to choose the headset that will serve you best if you decide that Bluetooth is the way to go.

How Bluetooth Works

Bluetooth is the next generation of wireless peripherals, and is designed to allow users to transfer their peripherals from one Bluetooth-compatible device to another without the need for additional drivers or any other software installation. This cross-device functionality creates somewhat of a universal standard for wireless peripherals, allowing those who use Bluetooth to own a single set of peripheral devices which they can then transfer to whichever Bluetooth-enabled hardware they happen to be using at the time. Since Bluetooth is a wireless product as well, this can enable Bluetooth users to remain mobile while using their peripherals... combine this with the hardware-swapping capabilities of Bluetooth, and you have a peripheral that can be used on the move and which will adapt to different pieces of hardware as you use each one.

Advantages of Bluetooth Headsets

There are a number of advantages to choosing a Bluetooth headset to meet your needs. In addition to the fact that Bluetooth devices are wireless, you will only need to purchase a single headset in order to use it with your Bluetooth-enabled telephone, cell phone, laptop computer, or any other hardware device which you own that features a Bluetooth connection. This can allow for a more dynamic home or office, letting you cycle through different pieces of hardware depending upon which room you are in or what you are doing at the time. These devices are also on the cutting edge of technology, so even as the technology begins to age you are likely to be able to get several years of use out of the headset that you choose before the current technology begins to be replaced.

Bluetooth Headset Compatibility

Of course, if you are considering buying a Bluetooth headset it's important that you make sure that your hardware is compatible with Bluetooth technology. Cell phones and other telephone equipment should have it labeled on the package whether they are Bluetooth-ready, and many other portable devices and computers will bear a sticker or symbol on the device or computer itself. If you find that some of your equipment isn't Bluetooth compatible, you might want to see if there are Bluetooth adaptors available which will allow you to use a Bluetooth headset with a device that would be otherwise unable to utilize it.

Choosing the Right Headset for Your Needs

Of course, not all Bluetooth headsets are created equal. In order to make sure that you buy the headset that best meets your needs, take into account what you plan on using the headset for, whether you will be using it with a single device or multiple devices, and exactly how much mobility and overall hearing you hope to have with your Bluetooth headset in place. For work that will be done inside or if you only plan on using the headset in conjunction with a landline phone or computer, you might want to consider single or dual-earpiece headsets which can be worn comfortably for longer periods of time. If you are going to be mobile or using your headset with a cell phone, however, you might want to consider a single-earpiece or even an earbud headset as they will allow you a bit more freedom and will leave one of your ears uncovered so that you can better hear everything that is around you.

Comfortable Conversations With Bluetooth Phone Headsets

Folks walking around with compact headset earpieces are an increasingly common sight today. They look trendy, but these headsets go far beyond trendy. They include such great quality and functionality that they are genuinely useful, and they aren't just for looking hip and stylish. While they are most popular in the business segment, consumers can get in on the action as well. For as little as twenty dollars, you too can purchase a Bluetooth phone headset which will allow you to talk on your cell phone (provided it is Bluetooth compatible) without using your hands.
A Comfortable Fit
Bluetooth phone headsets fit comfortably over your ear with a microphone slightly protruding down the side of your face towards your mouth. Because they are much lighter than normal headsets and fit inside instead of over the ear, they are much, much more comfortable, meaning that you can wear them for longer than ever before. Their battery charges last from about 7-10 hours for talking to 150 hours while on standby, and then you can recharge them in just a few hours. Bluetooth technology is designed to use as little power as possible, unlike some other technologies which emphasize performance over power savings, but mobile technologies should always emphasize the opposite.
If you want to get even more bang for your buck, then you ought to check out a variety of Bluetooth phone accessories. Gadgets like hands-free kits and speakers add additional functionality at little cost, and they can complement Bluetooth phone headsets admirably. The entire purpose of Bluetooth is to standardize the wireless signals that gadgets use, so all gadgets will work together. As such, gadgets like GPS devices with Bluetooth capabilities can display your GPS profile right on your phone, and you could use your phone to control a Bluetooth enabled stereo system, for example.
Beyond the simple gadgets though, Bluetooth phone headsets simply make sense for most consumers today. When you're driving or walking around the mall, it's useful (and safer in the former case) not to have to hold a phone to your head. Proper posture will always be more comfortable in the long run, even if it doesn't bother you after several minutes. All you need is a Bluetooth phone, and you're good to go. Configuration is painless and automatic, so anyone can easily set up a Bluetooth connection. If you're tired of neck cramps and sore arms, then a Bluetooth phone headset is right for you.
