Before we discuss about the Bluetooth headset, it may be useful for us to know a brief history about it. For those who do not recognize yet about what Bluetooth is or how it works, let’s see to the following elaboration. This technology has been found in 1999 and it was named after a tenth-century Danish king with a similarity of tooth-staining blueberries.
This technology is capable of communicating two devices with each other through low frequency radio waves in the range of 2.4 Gigahertz. The benefit of this technology is that there are no cables or wires required, but surely both devices must be having the same version to reach the compatibility. It is certainly different with and more advanced than the technology of infrared. When communicating two devices using infrared, one must locate those devices in a direct and straight line. In contrary, when we use the Bluetooth to communicate devices, we do not need to place both devices in a close distance. Of course, this technology has a distance limitation that the range is limited to about 30 feet (360 inches/9.144 meters).
Recently, this wireless technology has been included with so many smartphones and tablet PCs available in the market. This technology has also been used worldwide for wireless music streaming, accessing internet, transferring data, making and receiving phone call and also listening favorite music. To be used as an instrument for listening music, this technology must be associated with the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) feature. This feature is also best-known as the Bluetooth headset profile. It allows for audio streaming through a stereo headphone so that users are able to listen to their favorite songs wirelessly. The main vendors that have been already supported this technology are Apple, Samsung, Sony Ericsson, Nokia, BlackBerry and Motorola.
So now, there are several factors you should consider before deciding to buy an appropriate Bluetooth headset for your mobile phone. Those factors consist of sound quality, design, battery power, range and price. The sound or call quality can be the major consideration in choosing the right headphone. Just for the tips, the good headphone maintains your voice quality even when in noisy environment. It is okay to choose the headphone with the excellent design, but still you should consider the battery life of this device. It is useless if you choose the good-looking earphone but with below average of sound quality. Another thing to consider is the range that the headset can handle with. Look for the headphone that is able to reach the utmost range or even up to 30 feet range. Last but not least, another important thing to consider is the cost that you should spend. Surely, you should spend extra money to purchase the good quality headset.
On the whole, the decision to select which kind of Bluetooth headset that meets your needs depends on how it fits you in the most convenient way. Surely, for those who are highly addicted to music and also prioritize the good quality of device, you should consider to buy a branded headphone that can handle both music and phone calls. [IS]
