Hi Folks,
I recently posted a review of a bluetooth stereo headset and thought that I would share some views on this technology. I've read many reviews and postings on this technology recently and one complaint rings through time and time again..........loss of signal!.
First off and obviously, if you are using a bluetooth headset inside a car, you should have no problems signal wise. Bluetooth LOVES walls and glass to bounce off of. Outside is quite another matter however!. Based on the complaints I have read, I have come to the conclusion that many of these complaints are the fault of the persons device, rather than of the headset itself. I firmly believe at this point that some PDA's/ phones and other Bluetooth emitting devices broadcast bluetooth better than others. A good example of a great Bluetooth device would be the Playstation 3. Works flawlessly!.
When I changed phones recently, I immediately noticed a big improvement in my Bluetooth signal with my Motorola SD9-HD headphones, both inside and outside, which I had been using for years with a number of different phones. This has convinced me that the device broadcasting the signal makes a very big difference on how a headset will perform in all environments. That being said comes another bit of advice regardless on the quality of the emitting device used.........
Outside, you CANNOT put a Bluetooth enabled device in your back or front pocket and expect a solid signal!. NOT gonna' happen folks!!. It MUST be out and visible to the headset for a clean, break free signal. There are no walls and glass for a Bluetooth signal to bounce off of outside!. Firstly, find out where the antenna array is on your headset and keep the music player/phone as near to it as possible. I STRONGLY recommend an armband for your device. Belt holders are much less effective in this regard. If the headset array is located on the side, front, or in the back, adjust the armband accordingly. Also, both the music device AND the headset should be very well charged for a nice, strong signal and reception on both ends. All the complaints I have read are by people that do not understand these facts, ignore the instructions, and invariably give the headset a bad review, and return it for nothing.
That being said, there is nothing wrong with this technology when used properly, so use it wisely and enjoy the music!. I am personally sold on this technology for active, mobile people who do not want wires in their way. I would also like to see it improve as well in the future. The sound fidelity can be quite exceptional as well. As good or better than many wired mobile headsets. :T
