Review: iTech SolarVoice 908 – Solar-Powered Bluetooth Headset

1 Comment / Gizmo of the Day, Phones, Reviews / By /

itech solarvoice 908 bluetooth headsetLast year, we reviewed the iTech SolarCharger 906 which we quite liked. Now we have a chance to test out another iTech’s solar-powered products – the SolarVoice 908.

Introduction
For starters, I was excited to try out a headset that could be solar powered. Living in Southern Cal, I envisioned having a headset that never ran out of juice, although on further reflection, I realize this may not be the case in many other areas with fewer days of sunshine. In those instances though, the provided USB charger would work as a great backup. However, as I tried charging the headset using solar power only, I realized the challenges of doing so – the headset will only charged if turned in certain specific orientations to the light, some of which require odd angles achieved by shifting the position of the over-the-ear plastic piece.

Audio/Video, Home Theater, Gizmo of the Day / By /

Following up yesterday’s entry on the DigiFi Opera S5 wireless earbuds, we thought it would be a good idea to give you a few more options for going wireless over your lobes.

Here are 4 more headsets, all Bluetooth that give you a chance to get rid of those pesky cords, well most of the cords anyway!

1st on the list is a set of headphones from Sony. The specific model # is DR-BT22. These on-ear headphones have a 30ft range, weigh under 3 oz, folds up can be used to take a phone call, and can control basic iPod functions from the headset. $96.

The Ripple Bluetooth Headset

The Ripple Bluetooth Headset

Bluetooth headsets have never really been the epitome of style. Presenting The Ripple – coming from the designer Ilya Fridman, this headset is a small, circular disk with ‘ripples’ emitting from the center which is also a small button used to control the device.

Without knowing what it actually was, most people would just assume it’s a very modern and very large earring, but part of the circle flips outwards to reveal the microphone and when a conversation is over, you can press the center button to keep the headset active for listening to music.

Review: Audio Bone Headphones

1 Comment / Audio/Video, Home Theater, Portable, Reviews / By /

With a somewhat weird name that doesn’t make sense until you understand how it works, the Audio Bone Headphones operate by conducting sound via the bones in your face directly to your inner ear. This means you don’t actually insert anything into your ears or place anything over your ears. These headphones connect with the bones directly in front of your ears.

I was initially surprised to find that there was remarkably more of a frequency response than I had expected, and a side benefit of not having to wear a (potentially) uncomfortable set of ear plugs or headphones, and these were nice and light. Unfortunately, that’s where the positives ended.
