CSR, the UK-based company with over 50 percent of the market share of Bluetooth products, has created BlueVox2, a cheap mono headset with low power consumption—CSR claims 15 hours talk time—and noise reduction. The tiny chip has AuriStream, allows simultaneous connection to multiple devices and supports Bluetooth 2.1+EDR. Will we see this filtering down to headset manufacturers? Hope so.

CSR is a big player in the Bluetooth field, with over half of the market share in Bluetooth laptops, headsets and handsets. They have recently announced their forthcoming chipset, the BlueCore6, which is set to increase the practicality of the technology.

The BlueCore6 will rely on a new method of audio streaming called AuriStream, this will provide an improved radio performance whilst simultaneously offering other benefits including; lower rates of audio cut-outs, significant reduction in overall power consumption and smaller inexpensive headsets. CSR anticipates the BlueCore6 will ship by Christmas 2008.

Whatever the BlueCore6 really does, if the end product means sexy, smaller headsets, then we are listening. (Listening—get it? Sorry). [ZDNet Australia].
