Bluetooth Headphone?

Hi,

Looking to buy a bluetooth headset for my laptop and mobile. Can anyone suggest me what things to look and go for which company. Also in the Indian market which will cost the same price.


Hi,

ATN, you should buy a Bluetooth headset attached to your Nokia mobile phone if yours is branded for because this is the best and most compitable with your device.

What is the cheapest bluetooth headphone that works with iPhone to conform to the new law?

California passed a law that prohibits the use of cellphones while driving so I need to get a bluetooth headphone. So what is the cheapest I can get that is compatible with iPhone?


All Bluetooth headsets are compatible with any Bluetooth phone. Cheapest is not always the best answer. If you check out Deal of the Day Tracker, you'll come across deals for Bluetooth sets from time to time.

However, the Target near me had a Motorola stereo headset on sale for about $35 on clearance, originally priced at $129. Great deal if you can find it. It also comes with a Bluetooth adapter to attach to iPods.

Jonathan Takiff: The perfect gifts for your techy dad (or grad)

On your mark, get set ... : This product-tester procrastinated on gadget suggestions for Mother's Day. So I'm making amends with this month's early roundup of techy toys for the dads and new grads on your shopping list.

Take me out to the ballgame: Most radios made today have lousy AM band reception. So how's a guy who likes to listen to baseball games on AM supposed to tune in? With a battery or AC-powered CCRadio-EP from C.Crane. This portable boasts a spartan design with analog tuning dial and four-inch monaural speaker that makes AM and FM broadcasts sound good. EP's special tricks include a fine-tuning knob to eliminate adjacent AM channel interference, a back light for night use, music/talk switch that sharpens the play-by-play, separate bass and treble controls, headphone jack and an input for an external source like an MP3 player. $69.95 at www.ccrane.com.

How's Tryx?: A proud new papa's gonna enjoy getting his hands on a Casio Tryx ($249 at Best Buy). With its twistable metal frame, this unique digital camera easily captures images overhead, off to the side or close to the ground. Then with the touchscreen flipped over, you can hold the camera at arm's length, stand it up on a table or even hang the shooter on a hook to get into the shot yourself. (Yes, Dad was there, too!) The 12-megapixel camera is excellent at capturing 1080i high-definition video to SD memory cards. Outdoor stills likewise come out well, and there's very smooth panoramic "stitching" mode. But a bunch of my inside snapshots came out soft, despite fancy face focus/scene detection. Onboard software uploads images to websites. A mini-HDMI output jack lets you play back stuff on a big-screen TV. Stuffing a Tryx-recorded SD card into the card slot of a new TV proved a bad idea, though. The TV picture began to pulse erratically.

The Problem

Honestly, there are plenty of reasons to be uneasy about Bluetooth headphones : They run off battery power, so you need to be mindful of keeping them charged; they're often styled strangely to accommodate the necessary wireless hardware; they're more expensive than equivalent wired headphones; and most of all, they sound like crap. Or, so you've heard. You know, from other people, not with your ears. The colloquial "heard." Er,

Perhaps even more than choosing the best Bluetooth headphones , the point of this little exercise is to figure out if A2DP, the technology, is even worth your time. After all, it isn't really worth going to the trouble and expense of untethering your headphones if they barely qualify as headphones. So first, some background:

The Advanced Audio Distribution Profile, or A2DP, is an umbrella term for the modern Bluetooth audio profile, meaning the standards by which Bluetooth devices send a receive audio. It complements the Headset Profile (HSP), which takes care of low-quality mono transmissions, like those to single-ear Bluetooth headsets, to provide the capability to listen to music without too much distortion. And that's the crux of the A2DP problem, both real and perceived: It's better than mono Bluetooth, to be sure, but is it as good as a wired headset? Or more realistically, is it close enough that it doesn't really matter?

Since A2DP audio is encoded and recompressed at the source, leading to (sometimes drastically) differing audio quality betwen devices, I paired a number of sources—an iPhone 3G, an HTC Hero, a unibody Macbook Pro—with a veritable stack of headphones to see if the end result, the sound that actually hits your ears, is worth the trouble. Here are the best five:
