Review of Bluetooth Wireless Headsets
By Bradley James
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 Headsets
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.
