Jabra BT160 Reviews at Gearlog

September 27th, 2006 | Posted by amirsfc in Bluetooth Headset | Jabra - (0 Comments)

Gearlog reviews the Jabra BT160 and writes – This Bluetooth headset is made for the fashion-conscious crowd. Changing designs was super easy, and once I snapped the plastic cover, it stayed in its place. Sound quality was good–not too compressed or tunnely-sounding. One of my tests involved calling myself at the office from home and leaving a voicemail. I was impressed with how it blocked out the background noise when I was speaking. The earpiece felt comfortable both around my outer ear and inside–and my teeny ears usually have trouble with ear buds and any sort of in-ear device.

Jabra JX10 Bluetooth Headset Review at MobileBurn

September 24th, 2006 | Posted by amirsfc in Bluetooth Headset | Jabra - (0 Comments)

MobileBurn has a review of the Jabra JX10 and writes – “The JX10 is both snug and sturdy when fitted on the ear. I found there was minimal movement when using the headset, but for those wanting extra stabilization, the use of the provided ear hook is recommended. The JX10′s flexible ear hook, a thin bendable wire with a rubber outer coating, can be removed and rotated to allow for use on either ear. Normally the call control key is on the bottom of the headset and the button to increase volume is placed on the bottom at the rear of the device, with the button to reduce it positioned above it. If the headset is worn on the left ear, the controls get flipped around, which could be confusing. Another thing to note is that the Jabra logo is upside down when the headset is on the left ear. Although the logo is tiny in size and most won’t care or notice, it is something that caught my attention.”

Samsung WEP200 Bluetooth headset Review at PC Magazine

September 23rd, 2006 | Posted by amirsfc in Bluetooth Headset | Samsung - (0 Comments)

PC Magazine has a review of the Samsung WEP200 and writes – “There is another trade-off with the small, light design: short battery life. The WEP200 offers only three days of standby or 4 hours of talk time. Recharging the headset is simple; just drop it into its little black case (which connects to your power outlet), and contacts inside the case connect with contacts on the earpiece when the case’s lid snaps shut. This means you don’t have to fuss with connecting a wire each time you want to charge the device, which is a nice plus.”

BlueAnt Wireless X3 micro Bluetooth headset Review at PC Magazine

September 22nd, 2006 | Posted by amirsfc in BlueAnt | Bluetooth Headset - (0 Comments)

PC Magazine has a review of the BlueAnt Wireless X3 micro and writes – “In keeping with the device’s unique, thoughtful approach, the BlueAnt X3 micro comes with the most inventive charging mechanism we’ve seen on a Bluetooth headset yet. You get a foot-long, bendable cord that has positional memory (as with a pipe cleaner), with a standard USB connection on one end and the charger jack on the other side. The USB-connection side can recharge the device using your computer, the included AC power brick, or the included car charger. You can carry all of these around without worrying about a single cable tangle.”

Motorola H500 Bluetooth Headset Review at PC Magazine

September 21st, 2006 | Posted by amirsfc in Bluetooth Headset | Motorola - (0 Comments)

PC Magazine has a review of the Motorola H500 and writes – “There are some good things to say about this headset. If you plan on using the H500 while stationary, it’s not half bad. People looking for a way to talk hands-free while sitting or driving will find it a decent-sounding product that’s easy to take off and put back on while focusing on something else (like driving, for instance). But those who like to walk and talk will balk at its loose fit, dated style, and the way it grows uncomfortable after you wear it for a while.”
