Top 8 Bluetooth Headsets 8

by Evan Shamoon on August 14, 2008 at 01:01 PM



Nokia BH-902

Not many Bluetooth headsets feature screens -- and for good reason, we might add. One issue is the seemingly impractical nature of having a screen on a product that is worn on the ear, another being the inevitable size of the headset. Despite these concerns however, Nokia's BH-902 does as good a job, featuring a 1-inch OLED display, and is only slightly wider (and not much thicker or longer) than most headsets. On this display one can see caller-ID, recent call lists, pairing status and other helpful info. The design is sleek (if a tad bulky), and the sound quality is good but not outstanding (slightly tinnier at certain volumes). Retailing at 170 dollars, this Bluetooth solution isn't a bargain, but if you want a Bluetooth headset with a display that lets you keep your phone in a bag or pocket (where it belongs), then this is your best choice. Just know that the hands-free element diminishes significantly with the addition of a screen-unless, of course, you have the ability to see the outside of your ears with no mirrors. Good luck with that.
