These are wicked new handsfree devices suitable for all mobiles, and was released earlier this year. I've been using mine whenever I get the chance and have since didtched the motorola headset I was previously using. They come in 6 different colours and ave a silver ear piece and a silver voice piece end. You wear it by wrapping around your ear and have the bottom bit poking out from under your lobe and towards you lips.
The unique design of this little gadget is meant for ultimate comfort and so is flexiable and adjustable for all ear sizes and head shapes. Which I personally thought was great as I've got rater small ears and the handsfree gizmoz I'd tried before where way too big and always caused me pain.
My favourite part about this is not only does it ...
Advantages: Great volume , very light, works over long distances Disadvantages: Fiddly set-up
We use these headsets at work, and they are fantastic. In our industry we need the ability to use both hands whilst working. In the past we would hold the phone handset between our ears and our shoulders which, along with being quite uncomfortable, actually breaks the rules of health and safety!
The headset is light and you can easily forget you are wearing it. We did have someone finish a shift once and walk out of the room still wearing one! You can wear it on either the left or the rights ear thanks to the quick and easy clip on holder.
The battery is also fantastic. I haven't had it run out on me yet, but that is because everytime you take the headset off and place it back on it's holder it automatically starts charging the battery again. There is an orange light on the desk holder/charger to indicate a full or charging battery ...
Advantages: Lightweight, good voice quality, long battery life Disadvantages: charging connection is a little fussy
I seem to get through these things at a regular rate. I came home the other day and went to put my earpiece on charge when I discovered that it wasn't there. The wire ear loop was there and the ear gel, but the body of the earpiece had somehow gone missing, somewhere between Bristol and Swanage, so if anyone spots a lonely earpiece hanging from a tree send it home.
In time its replacement arrived and turned out to be this one, the Plantronics 655.
What can I say about it? it works. it charged up and the next morning it turned in on, held down the power button and waited for the light to flash alternate red and blue. I then scanned for it with my PDA phone and it found it, prompting for the security code. I keyed 0000 and the pairing was complete.
About ten minutes down the road my phone rang and I pressed the button ...
