Acoustic Research - Bluetooth Mini Bridge Stereo Headset for Most Bluetooth-Enabled Audio Devices

Some Bluetooth devices are monogamous, but not this one. Not only can it work with both your phone and MP3 player, it can work with both at the same time. It doesn't remember more than the last two pairings, so if you pair with your computer (3rd device) you will have to pair with your phone or MP3 player all over again next time. I was hoping I could use this headset for VoIP calls on the iPod Touch, but it can't be used for that purpose. Now, I am not sure that the Touch even provides the Bluetooth profile needed for that to be possible for any BT headset. (Note that I have a 64 GB Touch, and it comes with a wired microphone headset.) The headphone jack makes it possible to substitute different headphones if the original set is uncomfortable or gets lost. The manual makes no mention of being able to replace the battery. This can make the annual cost of ownership rather high. The charging cable is an ordinary USB cable that you can replace. Charging time is fairly quick. The joystick is very tiny. It may be hard to use if you have big fingers. The microphone is in the body of the Mini Bridge. It may be hard to position it so you can be heard well and still see the display well. When using it with my phone, I've been told the audio quality is extremely good.

Picked one of these up at a airport technology (Wireless?) store a few months back. Works great and there are very few of these with displays. Not a traditional bluetooth, but better. Can switch between my ipod (buy the bluetooth adapter) and my phone. Great for the gym at home. Sound quality is actually read good for a wireless. Don't be fooled by the screen, it is actually better than it looks. plus it does not seem t o get worse when I am outside running. There is some information on the box about it. Kinda cool! Only down was that people say the sound is not the best when talking on the phone. I don't always have it close to my mouth thow, so could just be me.

Great audio! I have it hooked up to my phone with it's mp3s. I work out and can listen to my music and take calls if necessary without using anything other than this device. It really lasts a long time, too, between charges. The packaging says it's because of the display, which looks great, actually, for a 2 color display. Kind of irridescnet. Great value, too, for a bluetooth with great audio quality and a display to help take calls
