Sound ID's SM100 Bluetooth headset tunes you into nature

We've got Bluetooth headsets that cancel noise, amplify voices, and make you look good not entirely cockamamie, but Sound ID's latest iteration actually gives you one less reason to ever take it off. The minuscule earpiece sports compatibility with handsfree Bluetooth profiles, around eight hours of talk time and 72 hours of standby, auditory and visual low battery warnings, dual omni-directional silicon microphones, and a trio of modes to fit your situation. It also touts a NoiseNavigation feature that magnifies and cancels appropriate sounds automatically, and just in case you get tired of only hearing face-to-face conversations out of one ear, the "Environmental Mode" actually brings in ambient noise in order to make you forget about the critter hanging off your eyeglass holder. Notably, the $129.99 SM100 even features a One2One mode that enables "Bluetooth communication between two modules" without the use of a cellphone, which should definitely appease the anti-social social crowd.

That would depend on your screen size and resolution.

"That would depend on your screen size and resolution."

Actually, it would depend just on the resolution.

Yeah nitpicking, I know :)

"Actually, it would depend just on the resolution."

Nitpicking :)

Though, it would look bigger at 640x480 resolution on a 25" monitor than at 640x480 on a 13" (however implausible 640x480 at 25" is..)

Those COULD be actual size... you'd just have to have some pretty huge ears.

Personally, I'd put my money on the Kleer technology that RCA is using. Seems a lot more efficient. And awesome. They just need some better earpieces.

Um...so how much use is this "One2One" mode? It's still limited to a range of 10 meters; and, unless they do *much* better than most Bluetooth headsets, the effective range is more like half that. At that point, you can just raise your voice.
