In theory the Belkin Bluetooth Headset should be a relatively good headset. With 3 removable, adjustable ear loops you should be able to get a nice comfortable fit. And how could the sound quality but anything but perfect? Its Belkin isn't it? Unfortunately it just isn't so. The Belkin Bluetooth headset is a lemon. No matter how much we tried it just wasn't possible for us to get a comfortable fit with the flexible ear loops. Once you finally think you may have gotten a snug fit, you move your head and it feels as if its about to fall off. Sound quality was decent with inbound audio but callers on the other end complained about a hissing noise this is partly due to the absent boom mic that Belkin decided not to include. The Belkin Bluetooth Headset is still a rather expensive headset. A year after its release it still will run you about $80. One good experience we did have is that pairing the device with a Bluetooth enabled phone was simple and hassle free. Bettery life was also not bad, lasting 7.6 hours talk time and 5 days standby. Pros Pairing the device is easy Decent battery life Cons Expensive Poor sound quality Uncomfortable Compare Bluetooth headsets Other headset to consider are the Jabra JX10, Motorola HS850, epox-bt-hs01 and the Plantronics Discovery 640. |
