Laptop speakers, a speaker phone and headphones. That’s the Jabra BT8030. It works via Bluetooth, hence the “BT” part of the model number. You’ll get 32 hours of talk time, 26 hours in speaker mode, 600 hours of standby time and -$235 of readily available cash. That seems like a lot, but hey, I’ve always had trouble trying to meditate in the middle of a subway… → Read More
Matt says the iPhone quote-kicks ass-unquote, but folks aren’t too hot on Apple’s iPhone Bluetooth headset. For $130, you’ll get the headset, USB charger and iPhone dock. … And that’s about it. The headset accomplishes only the most minimal of tasks: you can talk to your dopey friends on it. You cannot listen to music (no A2DP support here) on it, nor can you listen… → Read More
I completely forgot about the Bluetooth headset that was announced along side the iPhone back in January and I’m sure most of you have forgotten as well. The good folks at the FCC approved the headset on Thursday, but details are just as limited as they were when we were first introduced to the slim headset. Let’s face it, folks. The chances of any of us getting a hold of an iPhone at… → Read More
Want to be that kid? Ya know, the kid who reserved Halo 3: Legendary Edition and paid for it in full to ensure that he would be the first one on the block with it. Oh, you do? Then you’ll be happy to know that GameStop is ready and willing to sell you a bunch of limited edition Halo 3-themed gear. Come September 4th, you can purchase a pretty sweet looking Xbox 360 Wireless Controller with a… → Read More
I’m sure you’ve heard of SoundTech before. It makes all sorts of audio-related cables and the like, the latest of which is the LightSnake iChat, a USB headset and mic that’s designed for everyday tasks like gaming and annoying your friends on Skype. A nice vanity feature here is “Live when Lit,” which causes the unit to flash wildy when it’s processing sound and… → Read More
It’s no secret: walking around with a Bluetooth headset on just to walk around with a Bluetooth headset on means that you’re a douche. No, really. If you take offense to this, look in a mirror. See the Bluetooth thing on your head? Yeah, see, you’re a douche. At the very least a tool. Now then, does that mean that if you wear this uber-tiny Sagem Bluetooth headset that… → Read More
Getting excited over yet another Bluetooth headset is like trying to say the Irish don’t enjoy getting drunk. Cute jokes aside, this Sony-Ericsson HBH-PV710 isn’t looking too shabby for a headset. A bit 1983, it comes with some swiveling ear hook, red and brown covers (is that dookie on your ear?), and 12-hours of talk-time. It even has a super lame neck strap for when you’re… → Read More
File this one under WTF: Chronotech is dropping a Bluetooth watch and headset in one. The watch face pops off the band and then you put it into your ear. So it makes sense — Bluetooth watches are all the rage this year, turning from vaporware to everywhere in no time. Unfortunately, this thing looks like those free watches they used to give away with Burger King kid’s meals… only… → Read More
I like the BlueAnt X3 Bluetooth headset: It’s small, lightweight, connects to three devices at the same time including your Windows or Mac PC for VoIP calls, and it’s reasonably priced at $69. And now, I can add “comes in six colors” to my list of likes. Just in time for the holiday season you’ll be able to pick up an X3 in black, cool white, hot pink, gold, bronze… → Read More
Jealous that your cell-using buddies are getting all the ladies with their Bluetooth headsets? Not willing to give up your beloved landline number you’ve had since the 70s? Then get this XACT XQ2500 Wireless Landline Headset. Yes, it’s a headset that goes on your ear, but instead of Bluetooth, it uses the 2.4GHz spectrum frequented by cordless home phones. Although it only costs $10… → Read More
