A Bluetooth wireless headset is a hands free device which you attach to your ear that allows you to perform other tasks, such as driving, using the computer, or anything else that requires the use of your hands, while still being able to talk on the phone.
Most often, Bluetooth wireless headsets are used to connect to Bluetooth enabled cell phones, but, you can also use to connect to a Bluetooth enabled computer.
Bluetooth wireless headsets can make your life easier, and more productive. If you are looking to multi-task, Bluetooth wireless headsets free your hands and let you concentrate on various everyday tasks .Bluetooth Headsets are now very stylish & offer crystal clear sound quality whilst being simple to use and supporting all the voice activated functions. Bluetooth Headsets cater to different requirements. Being cordless, hands-free communication has become so much simpler with Bluetooth Headsets.
Bluetooth only works with bluetooth enabled mobile devices, so you need to find out if your device has bluetooth functionality before buying a handset.
Bluetooth Headsets Features
The one obvious feature that separates Bluetooth wireless headsets from other headsets is the fact that they are wireless. Depending on which Bluetooth Power Class and Version the headset falls under, Bluetooth wireless headsets can connect to other compatible Bluetooth enabled devices, like cell phones, up to 30 ft. away.
- Active Noise Reduction (ANR)
Bluetooth wireless headsets with Active Noise Reduction (ANR) use headphones that reduce the noise that is heard around the person wearing the headset. ANR is a technology that is able to eliminate sound waves from reaching your eardrums.
ANR creates inverted sound waves that essentially fight off the sound waves coming towards your ears. ANR technology is available with virtually all types of Bluetooth wireless headsets.
- Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) technology is an innovative feature that allows headset speakers to compensate for background noise by increasing the listening volume level automatically.
Some of the newer, more advanced Bluetooth wireless headsets have built-in LCD screens that offer various different display features. The most common feature used with LCD screens is the caller ID feature.
An LCD display may also give you the option of viewing your phone's personal phonebook. This is a nice feature when using the headset with your cell phone because it allows you to keep your phone in your pocket or bag while making or taking calls.
- Control Functions and Menu
There are some Bluetooth wireless headsets, both with and without LCD screens, which have different functional buttons and menus. For example, many Bluetooth wireless headsets have volume control dials, answer/end buttons, and other various controls that allow you to navigate the headset's menu functions.
Some headsets have menus that allow you to: View caller ID, view your phones personal phone book, view calls you've recently received or made, control the headset's settings and possibly much more.
Although we find the idea of a vibrating device attached to our head a little "unsettling", you may consider a headset that vibrates when calls come in. We find headsets that offer various ringtones to be more accommodating.
Bluetooth wireless headsets that are Binaural have two speakers, and thus cover both ears. As a result, you can hear more of what you are trying to listen to. Binaural headsets are perfect for involved communications or multimedia applications.
For more general communication uses you may consider a MonauralBluetooth headset, which uses only one speaker and covers only one ear.
Bluetooth wireless headsets that have boom microphones have the traditional headset look with a microphone that arches inward toward your mouth. If you don't mind looking like an operator, Bluetooth wireless headsets with booms offer the best quality in voice capturing.
If the operator "look" isn't quite your style, then you should opt for a boomless Bluetooth wireless headset. The microphones on most boomless headsets are located directly on the earpiece.
As with many products, Bluetooth wireless headsets come in a variety of shapes and sizes. Most often, the size and shape of a headset is a direct result of its intended use and functions. For example, a tiny lightweight headset with a flexible clip that hooks onto your ear is most likely intended for those who are always on the go. Meanwhile, a larger binaural headset with a long boom microphone is better for someone who plans on using it at a desk in a noisy office.
Although battery life is widely varied, the average talk time for Bluetooth wireless headsets is a little more than five hours. The wide variation is true with standby times as well, which can range from less than a week to about a month. You can rest assure, as the technology of Bluetooth wireless headsets advances, so too will the battery life.
