Logitech has the Mobile Stereo Headset HS 200 and HS 210; Nextlink dons the petite Bluespoon Spider, Philips talks up the VOX 150 and Motorola rocks with the O ROKR stereo eyewear.
Logitech Mobile Stereo Headset HS 200
The HS 200 has it all: support for the AD2P, Headset and Handsfree profiles enable stereo and mono audio streaming and mobile phone chatter, whilst padded ear pieces and a weight of 90 g should allow for a degree of comfort. For better picking up your mumblings and rumblings, the headset features an extendable mini boom microphone and Logitech's WindStop noise reduction technology; also on tap is 8 hours of talk time and 300 hours of standby time. Due out this spring for $130 USD.
Motorola O ROKR
Also in stereo but with a slightly different outlook are the O ROKR shades, the prodigy of an ongoing Motorola-Oakley fling that has previously yielded the mono-only
RAZRWIRE. Headset and Handsfree profiles are also on board to enable phone connectivity, but the headset/eyewear combo lacks the on-board tune playing capabilities of its cousin, the
Oakley Thump 2. Offering up 4 hours of talk time and 100 hours of standby time, this Plutonite-framed streamer is slated for availability in the first half of 2006 - price unknown.
Logitech Mobile Stereo Headset HS 210
Dare we say one of the most stylish Bluetooth stereo headsets we've seen to date, the HS 210 is the near-identical twin brother of the HS 200 mentioned above. Sharing its every specification, the only difference between the two is the angular ear pieces of the HS 210 as well as the lack of a boom microphone - for everything else, see above. Due out later this spring, it'll hawk for $130 USD.
Nextlink Bluespoon Spider
Everybody seems to be doing stereo these days, and Nextlink is no exception - but the company deserves credit for coming up with a headset that stands out from the crowd. A Class 1 Bluetooth product, the range of the Bluespoon Spider approaches 100 meters as opposed to the common 10, with Nextlink peddling it as an excellent alternative to Skype accessories such as the IPEVO Fly-1. Due out in the second quarter of 2006; price unknown.
Philips VOX 150
Keeping a low profile, Philips has just rolled out its first range of Bluetooth headsets in a long while, of which the VOX 150 is the foremost proponent. A rather run-of-the-mill accessory, it supports the Headset and Handsfree profiles and charges via USB, competing with heavyweights such as the stylish
Nokia BH-900 and
Motorola's H605. To sell for $80 USD, it'll hit shelves in February.
