Things to consider before buying a Bluetooth headset

Grow with Dr Prem

Selecting a Bluetooth headset may be simple for you but the actual challenge is that it must be exclusive of all others. The main feature that a headphone must consists that it must be fit for our ears. Though it is not sanitary to try the equipment made for trails but you need to test it. The major factor that decide the success of a headphone is how it feels and fits. That also varies from one individual to other and even from one ear to other. Other deciding factors are sound quality, battery life, design, and many other extra features. Here we are going to discuss nine points that will help you to choose the right one:

1. Call quality

Call quality decide the whole process. Your might have a good sound quality i.e. you can receive the voice clearly but it transmit a thin sound of your voice to the person on the other side. If you feel call quality as one of the most important factor then verify the editor`s choice Aliph Jawbone Era and Mototrola Command one though many better headset have come up into the market. Call quality is a property that varies largely from one set to other. But despite having large counterparts, fashionable models, tiny speakers and microphones BlueAnt Q2 and Jawbone Era sound much better.

2. Noise cancellation

Ability to check noise is one of the important properties because it is what the other person hears. Using a headset in place with lot of disturbances like standing in a noisy conference hall or driving with high speed with windows open is actual test that distinguishes bad one from a good one. Headsets with more than one microphones is usually the best as one its mic can be dedicated for detecting noise and noise can easily be separated using DSP algorithm. You must test noise cancelling property of one of your Bluetooth headset. Jawbone Era Aliph`s fifth generation consists of the most advanced technology for noise cancellation.

3. Battery life

Motorola HeryX1 is a set with very high battery life i.e. its single charge can last for nearly eight hours but it is a less fashionable set and it is also bulkier to some extent. The Voyager pro last for nearly six to seven hours. Jabra stone line, Sound ID 510 has very poor quality sound system.

4. Comfort

This choice is very personal. Models such as Motorola Command One have rubber like surface that completely get into the ears. It provides a very secure fit without being tight but some of us find it very uncomfortable. Other sets usually fit at the edge of our ear. But plantronics voyager and Samsung HM3600 consists hooks.

5. Style

Usually people are found to wearing Bluetooth headsets even when they are not in use but many people think that all Bluetooth sets looks silly. You can find best looking Bluetooth devices like PlantronicsSavorM1100 which is sleek with hatpin like structure and MotorolaH17txt is cute and have fetching designs. The small but attractive Aliph Jawbone Era is also better.

6. Range

The range for a headset varies to small extent from one set to the other. They are usually limited within their theoretical limits i.e. 33 feet and it is one of the greatest limitations of the technology. Some headset has range from 10 to 15 feet and some can also extent it to 20 feet even.

7. Mono vs. Stereo Sound

Some headsets have mono sound features i.e. they fit to a single ear. But for listening stereo music dual ear models like Novero Tour are preferable. There are also convertible models like Samsung Modus HM6450 provides both stereo and mono modes. Nokia BH 905 also offer dual mode with good sounding system.

8. Bonus features

All the extra features mainly depends on the set you choose. Jawbone Era have features that turns a headset into a completely programmable set. With Jawbone Icon HD you can have USB dongle features that provide wire less audio connections with MAC or PC. Motorola command One have extraordinary Android features that can read your text messages into your headsets. Some sets like Plantronics Voyagaer Pro etc have features through which you can connect them into two devices at a single time.

9. Price

The Bluetooth sets are around $99 but you can also find them discounts to $80 or $70 . If you go for more number of shops then you can also find it under$50.
