Comfortable long wear bluetooth headset

blue-eagle2I think I have finally found a headset that I can use with my Cell phone that gives me the same headset ability that I have with my land line.

When I am on the phone, I normally need to have both hands free to type, drive or whatever so I need a good headset that is very comfortable to wear, lasts a long time on a charge and has good noise cancellation abilities to reduce wind, air conditioning and other environmental issues that make the connection sound good.

The Blue Eagle 2 is a a headset with an ear cushion that goes on top of the ear, with a head strap that goes over the head.  There is a box under the ear piece that contains the controls and the batteries and a boom mike that is very maneuverable that can go under the mouth for optional use.

The battery life is extraordinary, with talk time up to about 14 hours and standby going days.  Much longer than my Cell phone can talk without being connected to a power source.  As a result, I now plug in my Cell whenever I am near a power source both at home, in the car and at the office.

Results so far have been spectacular with easy of use, comfort and great sound quality even in noisy environments.  I’ve now used it for 4 or 5 telephone conferences lasting 1 or more hours without any real issues and today, used it all day long.

The headset comes with a USB cable which is unusually long, a AC and DC USB adapter and a brief but detailed enough small printed manual.  No software was needed to setup the unit other than pairing with the cell phone which basically was automatic.

Cost was near $100.

Pro’s… Long talk time, easy to charge, controls simple enough to use, great sound quality both sides of the connection, comfortable. Boom mike easily moved and positioned.  Works great in the home, office and vehicle.

Con’s… large,  with a large boom.  Not hidden like smaller units.  Only a 6 month warranty.

Despite the size, it is a winner for me.
