Slimmer, Hotter Aliph Jawbone 2 Bluetooth Headset Gets FCC'd

Aliph's Jawbone is one of the least obnoxious, if a squee bulkier, Bluetooth headsets out there. Its hotter younger sister just popped up on the FCC, and looks to be under two cm wide, losing a fair bit of the original Jawbone's girth. Even though the earclip's not in this shot, the manual shows that it's still got one, though. The FCC unveil means something more official should be heading our way soon, so sit tight for more info.

CSR Creates BlueVox2, the Five-Buck Bluetooth Headset Chip

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.

BlueAnt V1 Bluetooth Headset First Ever With True Voice User Interface

The Deal: BlueAnt, who we've seen some Bluetoothiness from before, is introing "the first ever Bluetooth headset with a true voice user interface," the BlueAnt V1. The VUI is powered by BlueGenie, which is the first time it's been used on a headset. Other than the big ant-stamped button, it should be pretty hands-free, with commands like "accept call" and "volume up" and "kick the guy in front of me." The Drag: Voice control can be wonky, so you might want to use buttons.

Iqua Sun, World's First Solar-Powered Bluetooth Headset

While Bluetooth headsets are a dime a dozen, ones powered by the sun like Nuclear Man from Superman IV aren't. Orange claims that its Iqua Sun is "the worlds first" [sic, italics theirs] solar-powered Bluetooth headset. Fancy! The green half-ouncer gets 200 hours of life on standby and nine hours of talk time in darkness, like in an elevator on the moon. It'll run you £49.99, which is about 105 American clams.

Listen to Music and Phone Calls With i.Techs Clip M

In today s workaday world multitasking is no longer considered the exclusive realm of MBAs. The folks at i.Tech recognize this and have produced the Clip M, a little something to help combine business and pleasure. While it can be used as a simple Bluetooth headset for cell phones, the Clip M s biggest coup lies in its ability to attach to an MP3 player while simultaneously functioning as a headset. For example, you re listening to your MP3 player of choice and all of a sudden you receive a call. The Clip M interrupts the music with a little beep and lets you answer the call with the same pair of headphones (and attached microphone, of course) that were just pumping out the soothing Karma Chameleon. The 10-hour talk time Clip M is available now and will run you about $52. More »

Bluetrek X2 Bluetooth Water-Resistant Headset

The Bluetrek X2 is an earpiece that's not quite so delicate as most, called the first water resistant and weatherproof Bluetooth headset by its manufacturer. This means if you get caught in a rainstorm it won't be ruined, but you probably won't want to do any underwater basketweaving while wearing it. The X2 is also said to be shock resistant, so it can probably withstand the pounding of a vigorous run, but all bets are off if you happen to be wearing it while totaling that Ferrari Enzo. Offering 14 hours of talk time and able to stand by for three weeks, it weighs just a half an ounce. Available in early March for $94. More »

Three Nokia Headsets Launch at CES


Though they haven't unveiled any phones at CES yet, Nokia has shown three Bluetooth Headsets in Vegas so far.
The BH-800 ($140) weighs in at just 9 grams, making it extremely small and kind of cute in coffee black and silver white. Comes with an optional, removable ear loop, power button, volume control and call answering buttons. Talk time is about 6 hours with up to 160 hours of stand by time. Includes Bluetooth specification 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate (EDR).
The BH-900 ($100) is more stylish, designed with ergonomics in mind and noise reduction and echo cancellation. It weighs 19 grams (double the BH-800), supports Bluetooth and supports Push-to-Talk technology.
The BH-200 ($55) is the most affordable (and simple) of the group, weighing 14 grams with a talk time of up to 5 hours 30 minutes and up to 150 hours of stand by time. More »
