Plantronics Voyager PRO

Remember when Bluetooth first hit the cell phone industry and everybody and their grandmother (literally) had one of those hands-free thingies strapped to the side of their head? I tried to forget those days but they just keep coming back to haunt me. The Voyager Pro (from Plantronics) is hoping that it can bring a little of the sexy back to Bluetooth headsets with its sleek design and non-intrusive footprint. Does it work? Maybe...

One of the cool features of this thing is the auto answer. When you have an incoming call, all you have to do is put the headset on your ear and the phone picks up. You don’t have to tap any buttons, talk to the thing, or even do the hokey pokey. As a sort of adjunct to that feature, the Smart Call Transfer feature will automatically send calls to your phone instead of your headset if the headset is off or away from the phone.

All this automation is kind of a cool innovation in Bluetooth headset but with a $200 price tag it’s kind of hard to justify the purchase when you can get a cheaper (though much dumber) Bluetooth headset for under $50.

Bluetrek's 1st Carbon Fiber Bluetooth Heads

Bluetooth headsets are a necessity—no matter how you feel about them. So why not make the most of it and go for broke? That’s the idea behind Blutrek’s latest device: the Carbon carbon fiber headset.

Carbon fiber is a lightweight, high tech material that’s being used in more and more applications where strength is needed but weight isn’t. The Carbon headset weighs a quarter of an ounce and can be used continuously for up to 4.5 hours (and five days on stand-by mode). It sports minimalistic good looks and Bluetooth 3.0 so it can sync quickly and effortlessly with even the newest gadgets around.

Best of all, there are no blinking lights to draw attention to the thing strapped to the side of your head—just a single function button.

The headset also comes with four interchangeable earbuds to fit just about anyone’s lobes. While the Carbon Bluetooth headset isn’t cheap, it isn’t exactly expensive either. Retailing for $70, the headset falls right in the middle of the pack.
