CNET has a review of the BlueAnt Wireless V12 LCD and writes – “The BlueAnt Wireless V12 LCD Bluetooth headset has an LCD for viewing caller ID and battery status, and can store up to 10 contacts. It fits comfortably in the ear and has pretty good sound quality to boot. It also has a vibrating alert and a micro USB lanyard so you don’t have to wear it on your ear all the time.”

Nokia BH-800 Bluetooth Headset Review at MobileBurn
March 5th, 2007 | Posted by in Bluetooth Headset | Nokia - (0 Comments)
MobileBurn has a review of the Nokia BH-800 and writes – “Aesthetically, the only thing that did not impress was the optional ear loop. It looks like a very cheap, thin piece of wire and detracts from the elegant and professional look the rest of the headset so effortlessly portrays. The ear loop does support both right and left ear use, and while it is not the nicest looking ear loop, it gave one of the most secure fits we have come across. Adjusting the ear loop to your exact requirements was a little frustrating, but once it was adjusted correctly, it provided a very secure fit. The BH-800 can be used without the ear loop, but we found it to be a little too insecure for our tastes.”
Gennum nX6000 Bluetooth headset Review at CNET
March 3rd, 2007 | Posted by in Bluetooth Headset | Gennum - (0 Comments)
CNET has a review of the Gennum nX6000 and writes – “Although we were mostly pleased with the design of the headset, we couldn’t help but find the controls a little awkward. Like most Bluetooth headsets, you have to press the multifunction button in certain lengths of time and listen for a certain tone depending on what function you’re trying to perform. However, the nX6000 seems a little more time-sensitive than most. For example, the difference between ending a call, muting a call, and putting a call on hold is about one to two seconds of button pressure between each step. If you’re a second late or early, you might end up performing a completely different function. We did finally learn how to time our button pressing, but you should read over the user manual to get the hang of it.”
BlueAnt Wireless T8 Micro Bluetooth Headset Review at CNET
February 27th, 2007 | Posted by in BlueAnt | Bluetooth Headset - (0 Comments)
CNET has a review of the BlueAnt Wireless T8 and writes – “The design of the T8 Micro is reminiscent to the X3 Micro, with its slightly wide body and teardrop shape. Relatively compact at 2x1x0.5 inch, the T8 Micro is outfitted in a rather dull gray and black color scheme. On the front of the headset is the round multifunction button, while the two volume buttons are on its left and right. These buttons flash blue when the headset is activated, though you can choose to turn off the LED indicators if you wish. The buttons were easy enough to press, but we thought the volume buttons were a bit too stiff for our tastes.”
Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth headset Review at Infosyncworld
February 22nd, 2007 | Posted by in Aliph | Bluetooth Headset - (0 Comments)
Infosyncworld has a review of the Aliph Jawbone and writes – “Though the Aliph Jawbone is a very good headset, with all of its hype and flaunted technology, were were expecting something truly dazzling. The phone’s noise cancellation technology truly works, and we appreciated calls that remained audible even as nearby subways came to a screeching halt. However, we were disappointed by the headset’s muddied — and sometimes static-plagued — sound quality while we were calling from quieter locales, like our office. The design is striking, but the headset is easily twice the size of Nokia’s tiny, comparably-priced BH-801, though the Aliph headset has a better fit and is more comfortable to wear.”
Fonegear Mini Blu Bluetooth headset Review at CNET
February 20th, 2007 | Posted by in Bluetooth Headset | Fonegear - (0 Comments)
CNET has a review of the Fonegear Mini Blu and writes – “For such an affordable headset, we were impressed with its audio quality. We could hear our callers well, and they didn’t have many problems hearing us either. There was quite a bit of static though, and call quality did suffer a little in windier environments, but the device should fine for talking in a car or a building. Features are pretty bare-bones: you can answer, reject, and end calls, redial the last number, put a call on mute, and transfer calls from the headset to the phone and vice versa. The headset also comes with a lanyard for easy portability.”

PC Magazine has a review of the BlueAnt Wireless V12 LCD and writes – “What sets the V12 apart is its LCD. The display provides several status telltales that other headsets can impart only by means of a code of blinking lights. The screen itself is fine, even though it looks like a throwback to early digital watches. The headset is a bulky oval shape, with the thin LCD stretching across the middle. Its blocky, stick-like numerals, abbreviated words placed in predetermined slots across the display, and dull-gray background coloring are out of date in this age of eye-catching OLED displays.”
Someone in crackberry.com leaves a comment regarding his BlueAnt products: after about 6 hours trying to figure out what was wrong with my phone or the Supertooth, I decided to try something I should have attempted much earlier: I snagged my wife’s curve (exactly the same as mine) and tried pairing it with the Supertooth 3. Bingo. It paired-up almost immediately and did not lose the bluetooth connection. Our phones have the exact same operating system and both connect to our network at home wirelessly. Clearly, it was my phone. So, I took it to a Tmobile store today, spent some time on the phone with customer support discussing the issues, and answering questions. It is important to emphasize that I have NEVER been able to pair my 8320 with any bluetooth device. I always just assumed I was the other device, not my phone. Wrong. The wife’s pairing with the Supertooth 3 explained a lot of things. Tmobile agreed and is sending me a new curve, which will arrive in 3 business days – I pay $20.
Bluetake BT400GL Bluetooth headset Review at CNET
February 2nd, 2007 | Posted by in Bluetake | Bluetooth Headset - (0 Comments)
CNET has a review of the Bluetake BT400GL and writes – “However, we were quite disappointed with the audio quality–while we could hear others just fine, callers repeatedly had to ask us to speak up, and they said we sounded faint even though we were speaking in a quiet room. The situation was worsened on a busy sidewalk and under windy conditions, as we struggled to hear our callers’ voices. Features of the headset are fairly standard. There’s answering, rejecting, and ending calls, last-call dialing, voice dialing support, and transferring calls from the headset to the cell phone and vice versa.”
Aliph Jawbone Bluetooth headset Review at CNET
January 31st, 2007 | Posted by in Aliph | Bluetooth Headset - (1 Comments)
CNET has a review of the Aliph Jawbone and writes – “The Jawbone Bluetooth headset is one of the sexiest headsets we’ve ever laid eyes on … More impressive than the headset’s looks, however, is the technology behind it. The Jawbone has three different microphones built into the device, the aforementioned voice-activity sensor plus Aliph’s proprietary Noise Shield audio processing in order to help reduce outside noise and not only amplify your own voice but also enhance incoming audio. We tried this with the T-Mobile Sidekick 3 at a traffic-heavy intersection. We were impressed that we could hear our caller without too many problems, though strong gusts of wind did muffle the audio quality a little. Surprisingly, our caller didn’t even know we were outside. He said he thought he heard “clicking” and “some voices” but not much else in the background. “
SoundID SoundFlavors Bluetooth Headset Review at CNET
January 23rd, 2007 | Posted by in Bluetooth Headset | SoundID - (0 Comments)
CNET has a review of the SoundID SoundFlavors and writes – “The SoundID Personal Sound System SoundFlavors Bluetooth headset is one of the first (if not the only) Bluetooth headsets to incorporate medical technology in its design. Developed with the knowledge of how the human ear works, this headset’s prime feature is its advanced noise compression technology that is smart enough to drown out surrounding noise and enhance the audio quality of conversation. Because of such advanced technology, the SoundID Personal Sound System retails for close to $650, which is really a lot of money for a Bluetooth headset. The sound quality does make it worth the price, but only if you’re particularly hard of hearing and need that audio quality boost.”
Plantronics Discovery 665 Bluetooth Headset Review at CNET
January 17th, 2007 | Posted by in Bluetooth Headset | Plantronics - (0 Comments)
CNET has a review of the Plantronics Discovery 665 and writes – “The Discovery 665 is slimmer and more tapered than its predecessor at 0.4×0.5×2.0 inches (the 655 measures 0.6×0.5×2.0 inches), and it weighs less than 0.3 ounce. Even though it also comes in a silver and black finish, the color scheme is reversed when compared to the Discovery 655. Everything else about the Discovery 665 headset remains the same: three different rubberized ear gel pieces for your comfort, an optional flexible ear hook for more security, a simple square multifunction button on the front, as well as two tiny rubberized buttons for the volume controls underneath. As with the 655, we weren’t too fond of the tiny buttons. Though they are raised from the surface of the headset, they still proved a bit tricky to press when the headset was worn on our ear.”
Plantronics Discovery 655 Bluetooth Headset Review at Mobile Tech Review
January 15th, 2007 | Posted by in Bluetooth Headset | Plantronics - (0 Comments)
Mobile Tech Review has a review of the Plantronics Discovery 655 and writes – “Comfortable to wear, good audio quality on most phones, easy to operate. The AAA battery charging option is good for business and road trips. Plantronics also did a good job with the audio technology in the Discovery series and the Discovery 655 has a good implementation of that technology including an effective DSP system. While it doesn’t come with the “space-age” 640 silver box, it does come with a nice selection of accessories. If you are looking for a small and lightweight headset with good audio, the Discovery 655 should be on your short list.”
