Plantronics Intros 925 Bluetooth Headset

Plantronics 925
Plantronics introduced their newest Bluetooth headset this week, the 925. The device is available in a variety of colors including Onxy Black, Alchemy Gold and Cerise Pink (what the hell is wrong with pink and gold). It sports a unique VFrame design, which is intended to contour to the user’s face for better voice quality for the caller. The device utilizes a proprietary noise reduction technology for enhanced call quality and should get a 5 hour talk time on top of an additional 5 hours with the ‘on the go’ charging case.

Available from major retailers for $150 starting April 2008 (black only). Other colors due in May.

Navy Seal Bluetooth Style Headset

Roadrunner Bluetooth Headset
Sure to garner some stares for looking like a deuce bag, the Roadrunner handsfree headset looks more military opps than Bluetooth headset. The microphones are strategically placed next to your voicebox, which in turn surpresses ambient noise during conversation and makes the Roadrunner ideal for top down driving or motorcycle use. Better yet, pair it with your gaming system, fire up some COD4 and strap on the FPS Vest for a true immersive military experience. Expect 9 hours of talk time and 7 days of standby.

Available here for $79.

Gear4 BluFM Offers Bluetooth For Your Phone Calls and FM Transmission For Your iPhone

Gear4 BluFM Bluetooth/FM Transmitter
MP3 FM transmitters and Bluetooth speakerphones are nothing new. The combination of two, though, is something that seems to have alluded most manufactures. Gear4s newest offering, the Gear4 BluFM offers just that. Simply plug in your MP3 player and jam out to tunes via the FM transmitter. Pair it with your phone and when there’s an incoming call, it should cut the music and transmit the caller’s voice over the car’s speakers via the FM transmitter. One question remains: will this thing work with an iPhone much like the iSonTalk? The jack probably isn’t compatible with the iPhone’s recessed input so you’ll have to address that with an aftermarket adapter.

Available here for $98.

Bluetooth Wristband

BluAlert Wristband
The BluAlert vibrating wristband is no doubt superfluous for most occasions, but might serve a purpose at ridiculously loud events. The device wirelessly connects via Bluetooth to your cell phone. When your phone rings or receives a text message the wristband vibrates. Once paired, the BlueAlert wristband also includes a 15’ proximity alarm in the event that your cell phone decides to take a walk. 3 hour charge time and 100 hour standby time.

Available here for $63.

Plantronics Introduces Military Grade Bluetooth Headset: Explorer 370

Plantronics 370
Plantronics unleashed their new Bluetooth headset today: the Explorer 370. It’s certified to MIL-STD 810 standards. In English, that means it’s United States Army approved. It sounds like it can survive everything just short of a nuclear winter - water, dust and shock resistant. The Explorer 370 also includes ‘windscreen technology’ to minimize the whisping we’re all so familiar with, especially if you’ve lived in Chitown or Boston. Sounds like the perfect headset for those who like to run triathlons in the rain.

Available in March ‘08 for $80.

Apple Bluetooth Headset Announced

Apple Bluetooth Headset
Apple also announced, or perhaps didn’t, a Bluetooth headset for the iPhone.  They make mention of it on the iPhone site, but don’t link or show any pics.  We picked this up from CNet.  Looks small and sleek, but not much more is known.
