A few days ago, I almost smashed into a garbage truck when I tried reaching for my ringing phone and swerved the steering wheel. Thus, I resolved to buy another bluetooth headset. My old one, Sony Ericsson HBH-602, has provided me quite a service since 2005 and now the battery’s life cycle has been fully exhausted.

After searching for other bluetooth headsets, I came across Jabra BT2010. I immediately liked the in-ear design. In a few minutes, I paid for it and rushed out of the store with the package in hand. I gotta get it charged! hehe!

Jabra BT2010 Features:

• Talk time: Up to 7 hours
• Standby time: Up to 200 hours
• Charging time: Approximately 2 hours
• Weight: 11 grams (0.39 oz)
• Dimensions: L50mm X W22mm X D24mm
• Battery type: Rechargeable lithium polymer
• Bluetooth compliance: Bluetooth version 2.0 specifications with EDR & eSCO
• Supported Bluetooth profiles: Bluetooth headset and hands-free profiles
• Operating range: 10 meters

This is different from my Sony Ericsson HBH-602 bluetooth headset. This headset has an in-ear design with optional ear hook. This means the headset plugs directly into your ear and the optional ear hook provides you the security if you need it.

Bluetooth with EDR (Enhanced Data Rate) provides higher speed data transfer and lower power consumption.

Bluetooth with eSCO (Extended Synchronous Connections) provides higher audio quality by allowing retransmissions of corrupted packets.

This headset has both features so expect good quality and longer battery life.

By the way, I haven’t tried it yet but the manual mentioned that you can also use a USB cable to charge the headset. Well, the USB cable is not included but you can use the USB cables commonly found with digital cameras.

As a gift to my nephew for doing good in school, I brought him to Hong Kong last week. While we were there, I was able to buy a neat product… Sony Ericsson’s HBH-602 Bluetooth Headset.

At first I wanted to buy a bluetooth headset from an unknown manufacturer. But I changed my mind and opted to buy from a manufacturer that I know has several service centers back home. What is to service in a bluetooth headset? Well, I just wanted peace of mind and compatibility with most phones. :)
