CES 2009 has come and gone and many new gadgets were introduced to the world for the very first time. The new Nokia BH-904 Bluetooth Headset was one such gadget. What’s so special about it? Well for starters it has noise-removal technology that separates voice from noisy environments e.g. busy city streets, in your car or in shopping centres. The Nokia BH904 also has the ability to sustain two simultaneous connections; one can be to your PC (VOIP) and the other to a mobile device. And the last major standout point is its super quick charge time of 15 minutes to get 5 hours of talk time (if you want the full 8 hours talk time, you need to charge for around 40 minutes).

In terms of its form factor, I have never been a fan of the Nokia over-the-ear series as they tend to be quite chunky. I’ll have to actually try one to give you the real lowdown though – they may have improved how these sit on the ear. I like the adjustable sliding boom microphone!

Other Features of the Nokia BH-904 Bluetooth Headset:

• 53 x 19.7 x 10.8 mm dimensions
• weighs a mere 8.2g
• various operating keys such as Power on/off, Answer/End Calls, Mute Switch, Volume control
• 10 m operating range
• Bluetooth 2.1 with enhanced data rate (EDR)

When companies like Motorola and JBL get together to create something, you can be pretty sure that it’s going to look chic and sound good. This is exactly the case with the Motorola EQ7 Bluetooth Hi-Fi Stereo Speakers. How do I know? Because I was sent one to review and to be quite frank, I don’t want to return it. Shhh, perhaps if we keep it quiet they’ll let me have it as a Christmas present.

Unique design doesn’t compromise sound

One of the first things that struck me about the Motorola EQ7 was its flat design – unlike Blueant’s M1, Motorola and JBL have opted for a pancake design. Despite its flatness, for its class, sound is of very high quality. Bass is deep and treble crisp. The speaker’s metal enclosure has been tempered to achieve optimum sound from these compact speakers. The combination of four aluminium dome Odyssey® transducers driven by powerful neodymium magnets, ensures your tunes are pumped out with oomph.

The Motorola EQ7 is the best sounding Motorola speaker set I’ve tested to date.

If you have devices and gadgets scattered all around the house or your home office, here’s one dongle that will go a long way (pun intended) – the Callpod Drone Bluetooth Dongle. This little baby can connect your computer to any Bluetooth-enabled device that’s within, oh, just 100 meters away.

The second generation Prada phone slapped with a QWERTY keyboard, LG KF900 Prada II, has been officially launched and released in Europe. The addition of a slide-out keyboard might be the biggest noticeable improvement, but there are a few other upgrades as well.

I’ve been playing around with the new Plantronics Explorer 370 Sports bluetooth headset for around 2 weeks now and I have to say that it is the most rugged bluetooth headset that I have seen to date.

Noise Reduction Good
As soon as I got it, I wanted to test the noise-reduction physical design of the headset and sure enough, people who I spoke to via the headset commented on the clarity of the call despite being in windy and traffic-noisy conditions. Wasn’t too impressed with the ear-tip though; found it hard to maneuver it into my ear.

Tough Design
I see this headset more for people who spend a lot of time outdoors – environments where the bluetooth headset is going to get knocked around a bit. It features extra rubber padding to cushion it from accidental drops and is large enough so that it’s not easy to lose. It’s 20 grams so chunky if you’re into that. Plantronics claims that it’s water resistent and dust-proof too; I was too scared of fully submerge the review unit into a glass of water, so perhaps you want to try that with your own

Ease of Use
The Plantronics Explorer 370 has easy-to-find and use controls to adjust the volume and answer/reject calls.  Both of the aforementioned control attributes are important especially when trying to manipulate a gadget on your ear.

Specifications
It’s powered by a lithium-ion battery which gives it up to 7 hours talk time and 8 days standby time.

Close at Hand
I like the lanyard that holds your headset for convenient access.

Superb headset for the outdoors! 8/10
