Maverick Nica Sunrise v2 Bluetooth Headset Review

Filed under: Gadgets

Holy crap most Bluetooth headsets are awful to be seen in public with. Seriously, if you see someone wearing a Bluetooth headset who isn't on the phone, please smack them (for legal reasons I need to remind you not to batter or assault anyone!). Unfortunately, Bluetooth headsets are a necessity for many people. Either you need to drive while talking, or you just don't have enough free hands (I have four of them). So when you must use a headset, it should be one that offers a pain-free experience and doesn't look like you have a techno-parasite hanging off your ear.

The New Jawbone

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

Jawbone Bluetooth headsets just keep getting sleeker and cooler everyday it seems. Of course we started with the original Jawbone, then they gave us the "Love to Talk" limited edition series, and now they've released the new Jawbone that's sweeter than ever. It's 50% smaller than the original Jawbone design and includes all the usual sound technology, plus it features an "invisible button" system that means the user activates controls by touching the headset's smooth outer surface. Available in gold, silver, and black, the headsets look appropriately updated with a funky 3-D looking diamond pattern and optional matching fine leather earloops. $129.99

"Love to Talk" Limited Edition Jawbone Headsets

by Rigel Celeste (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

The regular Jawbone blue-tooth headsets were pretty cool, but apparently creator Yves Behar didn't think they were the best he could do -- and it seems they weren't. Now available (in theory anyway, they're really hard to find) is an extremely limited edition collection of 3 Love to Talk Jawbone headsets called "Sweet Talk," "Dirty Talk," and "Trash Talk." Each headset is a different color (gold, black, and white respectively) with a theme appropriate design etched into the surface. Which one would you get? And what on earth is etched onto the "Sweet Talk" headpiece? Is that a flower?

LG Prada Bluetooth Headset

If you are the type who matches their Prada shoes with their Prada bag then you will definitely need this Prada headset to match your ultra-trendy minimalist Prada phone. Not a whole lot is known about the headset except that it seems to have caller ID, a battery meter and a volume indicator. Seems a bit bulky, I still think the red Jawbone is hotter. Basically there is a long, long way to go in making these headsets truly chic.

EarSet 2 For Your Sexy Ear

by Deidre Woollard (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

The quest for a Bluetooth headset that provides excellent sound and doesn't make you look like a total jackass continues. If the Jawbone isn't your thing you might like the rather elegant EarSet 2 from Bang & Olufsen. It uses two omni-directional microphone 30 millimeters apart to capture your voice and filter and suppress wind noise. It also has a neat system for turning on and off, fold out the short microphone arm and it is on, fold it in and it is off. The EarSet2 has a wall bracket that also serves as a charger. It works with the Bluetooth-enabled Serene mobile phone and other Bluetooth phones. It sells for around $300. Audioholics has an interesting review of the device which basically says that if you like the style and don't mind the price it is okay but that it is not overly comfortable and you have to choose which ear you will wear it in when you buy (it's not reversible).

MicroOptical myvu Personal Media Viewer

by Nicole Weston (RSS feed) —

Filed under: Gadgets

The myvu Personal Media Viewer from MicroOptical is designed to work with video iPods to provide users with the best possible viewing experience. Watching video on the headset is comparable to looking at a large screen TV, which sort of floats before your eyes, and the viewer works in all lighting conditions. It is compatible with 20G, 60G and 80G iPods and the batteries should last for up to six hours of viewing time, though the battery pack can also be used to back up your iPod if it isn't being used for video and will allow for over 20 additional hours of audio time. The viewer should be available in "late fall" and is priced at $400.
