Getting Started

The biggest innovation in recent times in terms of ease of use of Bluetooth headsets is that you usually do not have to enter the code consisting of four zeros. Another new feature that shows up in more and more manufacturers are the Bluetooth headsets endowed with a voice that tells you what happens. The beauty found in Nokia's mono headset and the Jawbone Icon and the Plantronics M100 Bluetooth headset. A clear lift compared with cryptic flashing LEDs. It is not particularly difficult to get started with a Bluetooth headset, but manufacturers have found different types of button presses to set the headset in a position that mobile can detect. All Bluetooth headsets start in the right position the first time you turn them on, but to connect a new phone or if the link is broken you have to be able to manoeuvre that places the Bluetooth headset in pairing mode. Plantronics, Nokia and Sony Ericsson use consistent solution is that the headset is ready for a new phone by holding the power button while on power. Jabra Pro 9465 has a clear touch screen that gives instructions in both text and video for how to connect mobile. Sennheiser MM450 has many buttons and actually demanded a look in the manual before it became absolutely crystal clear how one would go about it.

 

Functions

Mono headsets have few features that affect how you use the Bluetooth headset, but more and more people have features that improve sound quality. Jabra Stone and the Plantronics Discovery 975 Bluetooth headsets come with the charging case. Jabra has a little more compact solution while Plantronics bag is more lavish with his display for battery status. Test surprise is the Jawbone Icon. The ability to install new voices and apps is an interesting development. Icon has also, together with the Plantronics M100, a feature that displays the battery level on the iPhone screen. All stereo Bluetooth headset except the Sony Ericsson IS800 has buttons to control the music player. The major music Bluetooth headset from Nokia and Sennheiser smart cable input for analogue sources - good if you want to avoid buying boring headphones to overcharge to keep up with the movie on the plane.

 

Comfort

Low weight is more forgiving and allows a Bluetooth headset can feel comfortable even when the shape is not quite right with his own ear. Heavyweights like Jabra Pro 9465 and Sennheiser MM450 need better options. Jabra Bluetooth headsets are all good - Pro and Halo has fine adjustment while Stone and Extreme are easy. Sennheiser MM450 is too tight to be really comfortable. Nokia has done a better job with their great music handsets and BH-905i is actually more comfortable than the old 905 model. Several Bluetooth headset models combines good customization options with low weight - the Plantronics Discovery 975, Plantronics M100, Jabra Extreme, the Nokia BH-217 and the Jawbone Icon.
