What Is the Top Rated Bluetooth Headset
If you ask a group of people which Bluetooth headset is the best you will likely get a number of different brands and models. You can go on line and look at user ratings there for brand specific ratings and overall ratings.
One common complaint about these headsets is that they pick up too much extraneous noise, which can make it difficult to hear what the caller is saying, or for them to hear you. Most headsets and earbuds will filter some of the noise but there is still a lot of noise from traffic, wind, heavy equipment or a noisy environment such as at a sporting event.
The best we’ve found for sound quality and noise filtration is the Aliph Jabra Jawbone Noise Shield. The manufacturer says that this headset uses an advanced military grade noise cancelling system, which continuously adapts to your environment. This device was originally developed for the “Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency” (a.k.a. DARPA) in an attempt to create a device that would pick up voices in a noisy and/or dangerous environment.
You might think that a unit like this would be very expensive. The list price we found on the internet was about $149.99 US. However we found it on sale for $85.00, a great price.
The Jawbone works so well with the Apple iphone that one might think it was made specifically for the iPhone. This Jabra unit can be used with most other Bluetooth enabled cell phones in addition to the iPhone. It gets high ratings from most of the users we’ve talked to and those who rate it at on line sites because it really does block a lot of extraneous noise. This is good news for all users but could be of great use for those who may have some mild hearing loss.
The only problem we found was that if you lose the cable it can’t be replaced and you will need to get a new headset. So keep an eye on your Jabra headset and any accessories that you purchased with the unit so that you don’t have to buy a new headset.
I bought my Jabra the day after I just read about it on line and wouldn’t give it up for anything currently on the market.
Once you’ve used this headset in a really noisy situation you will never want to use any other earpiece or headset.
If your local phone store can’t get you the Jawbone headset shop on line. Just check what the shipping and handling charges. Will they eat up the “savings” you get by purchasing it on line? Almost every day some new advance in cell phones and headsets is announced. Judge wisely and don’t spend a lot of money just because something is new. Always check ratings before purchasing accessories for your phone.
