Also what is wrong with having something that is functional AND that looks good? This headset isn't the best example I know, but I get the impression you're saying that just because a bluetooth headset looks stylish means that only a$$holes and "brothas in the hood" will wear them, correct? LOL <br><br>So I guess if everyone else wants something that works good means they can't have anything that looks good, too. Can't have both.<br><br>I personally don't care much for the design of this, but haven't u noticed this is the direction of things to come? Bluetooth headsets will only become more stylish like laptops with designs and other devices today.<br><br>So (according to you) if you don't want to look like an ahole or a "brotha", don't buy something stylish. Gotta keep it ugly and plain.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Eriq]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 26th 2009 7:11PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Jabra Stone Bluetooth headset review]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</guid><description><![CDATA[Damn that shit was funny.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Tony]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2009 11:49AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Jabra Stone Bluetooth headset review]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</guid><description><![CDATA[Is this truly a head-set or an single ear bud?]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[BarkingGhost]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2009 11:50AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Jabra Stone Bluetooth headset review]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</guid><description><![CDATA[I actually expected it to do perform well; reinforces never judging a book by its cover - EPIC FAIL!!!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dee]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2009 11:52AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Jabra Stone Bluetooth headset review]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</guid><description><![CDATA[This is a terrific way to use the technology to share the testing results -- way more impressive than traditional descriptions written in a printed review.

The Jawbone Prime works great but is too dependent on fit, and it's propriety charger bugs me, the Moto HX1 is overpriced and uncomfortable since you'd never turn the bone induction on you might as well buy one of their cheaper/more comfortable options, I loved the Plano 925 for universally easy/good fit and decent sound, and expect I'd like the 975 more due to audio upgrades but haven't tried it yet, but the one I keep going back to is the Voyager Pro.

I got on board with the BT200 paired to my Sony Ericsson T616 way back in summer of 2004.  Everyone asked "what is that thing in your ear?".  Some thought it was a hearing aid.  ]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Michael Zupcak]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2009 2:41PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Jabra Stone Bluetooth headset review]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</guid><description><![CDATA[Bit of an UK-based test to simulate a bar, when the background noise is tons of people talking in a bar any technology obviously would have trouble knowing what voice sound is the one it needs, I'm guessing the noise canceler is for non-human voice noise, so the test should be repeated in a car or plane or traffic or some noise that isn't talking.<br><br>Not that I have much confidence in it, and not that the sound wasn't poor even before the added noise, but let's be real.<br><br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Wwhat]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2009 2:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Jabra Stone Bluetooth headset review]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</guid><description><![CDATA[Actually I think the simulation probably failed for another reason. These headsets have 2 mics so they can determine roughly where the sound is coming from and cancel it out. So if the simulated bar sounds were played through a single point source, the headset would "hear" that sound as coming form a single source rather than multiple sources as in a real bar....<br><br>Obviously I'm no expert.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[slarty.tj]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2009 3:33PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Jabra Stone Bluetooth headset review]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</guid><description><![CDATA[Do bear in mind that the phones had little problem with the same noise though.

Noise canceling is a technology that is  proximity sensitive so the closer it is to the audio source the better it works. The best Jabra headset I have ever tested (no longer made) is the BT500 (or BT250) but after that the headsets became worse and worse with each new model.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Richard]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2009 4:46PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Jabra Stone Bluetooth headset review]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2009/10/23/jabra-stone-bluetooth-headset-review/</guid><description><![CDATA[For a comparison with sound clips see my review of the Bang & Olufsen EarSet 2.

I had the volume up very high to simulate the noisy environment.  Note that the B&O EarSet 2 does not attempt to remove the background sound completely but rather to ensure that your voice always come through clearly above the background sound.  Here is a link <a href="http://public.me.com/barjohn1" rel="nofollow">http://public.me.com/barjohn1</a> and download the file "Test with iMac & B&O Earset 2.wav"<br><br>I think you will notice 2 things.  My voice comes through clearly over the noise and it is natural sounding without that computer choppiness you hear in many DSP type headsets.  It has two mics but it also has a small boom and the headset is, I think, good looking and comfortable to wear.  Here is a link to info on the headset <a href="http://www.bang-olufsen.com/page.asp?id=183" rel="nofollow">http://www.bang-olufsen.com/page.asp?id=183</a>  By the way I have no affiliation with ANY headset manufacturer but I have been testing Bluetooth headsets for many years as you can see on my web site www.barjohn.com]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[John Griffith]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Oct 23rd 2009 7:10PM</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
