Bluetooth headset understands voice commands

Berlin (dpa) - The latest Bluetooth headset from Jabra can be used to control mobile phones via voice commands. The company's Stone 2, for example, can initiate or pause phone calls based on a spoken command. When the user receives an incoming call, the caller's name is announced, provided he or she is listed in the phone's address book. The Stone 2 also has a multi-use function for connecting to two phones at the same time. The headset comes with a mobile charging station and sells for 99 dollars.

Traversing Mind: Bluetooth Headphones: Nokia BH-503 vs Sony DR-BT20NX

I'm a Nokia fan, but I'll try to be objective on this one.

While perusing my RSS feeds today, I came across at Nokia Beta Labs about the possibility of winning the Nokia BH-503 bluetooth stereo headset by giving feedback about one of their applications. You can find that here: http://betalabs.nokia.com/blog/2009/09/23/win-a-nokia-bh-503-bluetooth-stereo-headsets-for-your-feedback .

This prompted me to write up a quick review of this device. You can see an image of it at the link above.  But first, a bit of history.

I discovered bluetooth stereo headphones virtually by intuition about two or three years ago. I was thinking one day about my aged JVC headphones, how it was so difficult to get good headphones in Nigeria, and how I needed to replace these I was holding soon. My thoughts wandered into bluetooth. You see, aged phones always develop wire problems along the way, and quickly become a major annoyance to use.

I figured, bluetooth can support speeds of up to 2mbit/sec, was that sufficient to replace the wires that ran into my current headphones for transferring sound? Some quick mental math based on a CD quality WAV file said no. But for mp3s, this was ample bandwidth.

I decided to see if the bluetooth people had thought of something of the sort. Google helped. A search for "bluetooth headphones" proved that my fantasy was not new. I was excited, and my next task was figuring out how to actually lay my hands on such a device.

I had to wait for more than a year. I eventually got my first pair when my dad travelled to the UK for a business trip. Such things, as I already explained, are not easy to get in Nigeria. I gave him specific instructions to get me "bluetooth headphones and NOT a  bluetooth headset". I made him understand that I would be very very unhappy if he failed to do this.

As it was, my first pair of bluetooth stereo headphones turned out to be the Sony DR-BT20NX....
