Bluetooth headsets generally take a good amount of abuse. They are after all thrown in pockets with keys, tossed in bags , thrown on desks, and suffer countless other forms of stress over their lifetime. Thankfully most are priced as throwaway items. However, the just-announced BlueAnt T1 isn’t a normal headset. This little guy seems like one tough bastard. → Read More
While the economy is in shambles and folks are losing their homes, Motorola is about to push the Bluetooth price point ceiling up to $159 with the HX1. The company claims – and Engadget seems to agree – that this is the best Bluetooth headset on the planet and perhaps the galaxy. The HX1 uses some sort of special bone conduction technology that eliminates external noise and produces amazing call clarity. But who would spend $160 on the bland looking Motorola HX1 when the sexy $129 Jawbone Prime, tiny and smart $129 BluAnt Q1, or $99 workhorse Plantronics Voyager PRO is available? Our answer is after the break. → Read More
Short Version: Another Jabra Bluetooth headset with O.K. sound quality and range, but sports a true on/off switch. Not a soft button, but a real, honest to goodness, on/off switch. Praise jebus! → Read More
I’ve finally gotten around to taking the Jawbone BT headset out of the box and over the next few days I’ll see what all the fuss is about. I’m going to struggle with this review since I poke fun at everyone who wears a headset. But I have the sense not to wear it on the subway unless, of course, I’m trying to hit on some ladies. The streets of NYC are probably the best testing ground so I’ll give it a whirl and let you guys know if the ‘Noise Shield’ is as good as everyone says it is. Maybe I’ll step into a dry cleaners and and see if I can’t provoke any racist brawls. Heh.

Apple’s first foray into Bluetooth headsets has hit the market, making barely a plink in the ocean of iPhone news so far. I unboxed and tested the discreet little black stick-bud: It still makes me look like a douchebag (all Bluetooth headsets do), but it works well and comes with some pretty cool accessories. It’s a significant investment, but if you already dropped $600 plus service fees for an iPhone, chances are you won’t blink at the $129 for the headset. You can’t use it to listen to music, but at you can walk around looking like some wingnut who’s talking to yourself, and it’s the best iPhone-specific headset going so far. → Read More
The fashion conscious who plan to get their well manicured mitts on the LG Prada will be happy to know that they can also get a matching Bluetooth headset. LG and Prada have teamed up again to release a headset that is set to launch in May. It doesn’t seem to be anything special, but it does have a nice display to show you battery strength, volume and device name….not to mention the Prada badge that should boost both its performance and price tag through the roof. It should really scroll along and tell others how cool you are because you own both the Prada phone and headset. LG,Prada Do It Again [Mobile Korea TV] → Read More
