China-based electronics manufacturer i.Tech has announced a solar-powered Bluetooth headset. Tagged as the SolarVoice 908, the headset’s outer surface is lined with a solar panel, allowing it to charge the internal battery while the headset is worn. The battery’s rated for five hours of talk time and a 140-hour standby. Of course, it can also be charged using a more conventional USB connection, sparing users from having to keep it plugged into an ear to charge.
It’s now shipping in China for the equivalent of $67.
Jabra has just unveiled the iconic Stone, a slim, stylish, one-piece Bluetooth headset that does away with mechanical buttons in favor of a touch-sensitive surface. Named after the charging dock that’s molded to look like a smooth stone when the earpiece is connected to it, the new headset features noise cancellation tech as well as an A2DP mode for streaming music from the mobile to the earpiece wirelessly.
Headset manufacturer Jabra has begun shipping the HALO, a wireless Bluetooth headset that fits dual microphones into a sleek, foldable kit. Able to pair up with two BT-devices at once, the HALO offers noise cancellation through dual mics and Jabra’s Noise Blackout feature that eliminates background noise to give clear voice audio without having to push a mic in your face.
Wearable tech takes an interesting new twist with Hybra Advance Technology’s new O.R.B. Bluetooth headset. O.R.B. means Orbital Ring Bluetooth, and twists into a ring when not in use, to save people from looking like idiots with headsets jammed into the ear when they’re not taking calls.
