A Genius (BT-03i Touch) walking
It was awarded the Innovations Design and Engineering title for its unique touch design and easy-to-use features.
This headset, the Genius BT-03i, is the first headset with a capacitance touch panel with touch slide for control. It is designed to compliment Bluetooth cellphones and PDAs. It supports Bluetooth A2DP, hands free and headset profile.
Headsets have been one of the must-haves for both the lazy and active crowds since the 70s.
Of course, your parents should remember those years when girls in skimpy shorts roller-skating on the parks with those bulbous headgears they sometimes affectionally dubbed "hum-burgers."
Then came the skinny headsets, with wires so delicate you can't afford to scratch your head too hard, or you lose more than hairs.
The Genius BT-03i belongs to the latest bunch in the headset evolution.
Okay, first thing you'd appreciate when wearing this is that nothing messes your hair, and you don't look like somebody who works in an air control tower.
To make your voice clearer, the BT-03i utilizes CSR CvC (Clear Voice Capture). The control interface is through the touch panel on the right side.
You can adjust the volume by simply sliding the bar using the touch sensor to answer a phone call. When talking, the phone icon will be illuminated so others understand your current status.
The transparent look and curve shape is a new concept for a rear band headset and the silicon ear hook can fit any ear angle and shape.
The new IC features use low power consumption. The Genius BT-03I has a 320mA rechargeable Li-on polymer battery for up to 15 hours of usage.
With an effective range of up to 30 feet, the BT-03I is the perfect complement to mobile phones equipped with Bluetooth technology.
It uses rubber straps that go over your ears. The headset has to be worn backward, as with a lot of the newer designs. The speakers are quite comfy on the ears.
The device uses touch-sensitive technology for adjusting the volume and taking or ending calls.
The touch pad area is located on the left. The charging port (mini USB) and power key are located on the right.
With a simple slide of your finger in either direction you can increase or decrease the volume. It is not overly sensitive, so no ore worry that a sudden bump would interrupt your audio experience.
The hidden microphone is too hidden, that you could pretend to be a secret service agent when walking around.
Stereo Bluetooth headsets are the "in" thing these days, especially to the younger set because they're convenient for wire-free audio streaming. But generally, it's the integration of the device as a mobile-cum-audio headset that makes it very hip as a headwear. - Article courtesy of Manila Bulletin
