New adapter allows standard 2.5mm-jack mobile phones to use company's allways Bluetooth headset.
Cardo Systems today announced at CTIA the availability of the universal adapter for the Cardo allways, a Bluetooth headset that fits over a user's ear or uniquely clips onto eyeglasses or sunglasses.
The Cardo universal adapter converts virtually any standard mobile phone into Bluetooth-capable cell phones. Once plugged into the audio jack of the phone, this compact accessory will convert standard mobile phones into Bluetooth capable devices, allowing smooth operation with the allways headset recently launched by the company.
Both the universal adapter and allways headset come factory-paired with 2.5 millimeter cell phone jacks and additional connectors for many older models. The Cardo universal adapter also comes with two velcro adhesive pads that attach to the back of any cell phone, eliminating the need for cumbersome buckle attaching. With a red & blue LED light, users can tell the charge and power on status.
To protect the headset from scratches or damage while it's not in use, the retail box includes a carrying case. Users can clip the carry case around their belt or carry it in their briefcase, where the headset is safe from being damaged by key rings and other sharp objects.
Cardo's allways headset offers up to 6.5 hours of talk time or up to 200 hours of standby time. Advanced features include noise cancellation technology, a separate mute button, and a single multifunction control button for easily receiving, initiating, and terminating calls. Attachable colored front panels let users personalize the headset and express their individual aesthetic preferences when wearing it. The retail box contains three designer panels in Platinum, Copper, and Azure.
Users with sensitive ears who are bothered by earbuds and headsets that clip onto the ear will appreciate the allways headset. Worn on the temples of the eyeglasses, allways is perfect for extended wear. The exchangeable, patent-pending dual-wear mechanism allows convenient, quick exchange between ear-loop and eyeglass-clip. The headset can be worn on both the left and right side.
The allways Bluetooth Headset is available for a suggested retail price of $99.99 USD, while the allways Headset & BT Adapter has a MSRP of $164.99 USD. Both units are available now. No word was available on compatibility of the adapter with Bluetooth headsets from other manufacturers.
