Sony Ericsson Bluetooth headsets: Make your hands free life a little smarter with the new Bluetooth headsets from Sony Ericsson, expected to hit the market in Q4 of this year.
The HBH-PV-740 uses Bluetooth 2.0 and EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) and is targeted at business users, allowing wireless call handling with automatic volume adjustment. The metal headset comes with a removable ear hook and a display which indicates battery levels. The unit has DSP (digital signal processing) and auto-pairing for easy setup, and allows an astounding 11 hours of talk time (or 800 hours of standby time). The pack includes a desk stand and USB charger, letting you charge your headset while in the office.
And if you don’t want something quite so complicated, the HBH-PV-715 should be perfect for you. The 715 uses Bluetooth 2.0 and EDR, and has DSP. It also has automatic volume adjustment, and comes with the detachable ear hook for greater convenience. Available in black and white, the 715 offers 10 hours of talk time (or 700 hours of standby time), and is said to be comfortable and user-friendly to boot.
Nokia wired headset: For those who are more comfortable with traditional wired headsets, the Nokia Stereo Headset WH-700 is simple, stylish and offers high quality stereo sound. Unlike conventional earbuds, the WH-700’s in-ear earplugs allow for noise cancellation and better sound reproduction. They also don’t fall out as easily because of movement. The earplugs come in three sizes, letting you pick the best fit for yourself. The WH-700 has automatic music muting for incoming calls, and all controls are placed on the headset itself, so you don’t need to reach for your phone at all. The pack also (rather thoughtfully) includes a carrying case, so that you don’t have to waste precious minutes untangling the cables before each use.
Kingston microSD card: Boost your storage space with this versatile cross-platform storage solution from Kingston. Kingston microSD cards are available in 1GB and 2GB options, depending on your storage needs. Also available are the adapters required to transform the card into a miniSD or full-size SD card - so even if your phone has a full-size SD card slot, you can still use your microSD card. You can even use it with multiple devices, getting the most out of your storage space.
Double Talk charger for BlackBerry: The Double Talk Charger lets you charge your BlackBerry device in a car, as well as through an AC wall socket, simply by folding out the correct adapter and plugging it into the power source. The charger works with most Indian and foreign vehicles which have 12-volt outlets. The Double Talk charger weighs only 110 grams, and lets you charge your BlackBerry faster than standard chargers.
BlueAnt’s portable Bluetooth speakers: Claimed to be “the world’s most powerful speakers”, BlueAnt’s M1 Stereo Speakers pack a spunky 28W RMS within their deceptively small exteriors - currently the highest among all portable speaker systems. Compatible with any A2DP-enabled (Advanced Audio Distribution Profile) device, including mobile phones, the speakers require no installation and let you stream music practically anywhere, as long as they are within the range of your Bluetooth device. No more tangled wires. If you want to, however, you can always plug in your MP3 player, iPod or iPhone. The speakers allow for excellent sound reproduction, thanks to the anti-distortion circuitry in the built-in sub-woofer.
So get out there and have a blast choosing the perfect gizmos to go with your mobile and your personality.
