Recent studies have shown that on the average, the small business workforce spends almost 25% of its time on the road. Wireless or hands-free devices increase productivity while on the road when they work properly but it can be a challenge to find a decent Bluetooth headset. Quality of sound, ease of use, and performance are often overshadowed by style, size and compatible accessories. That may be about to change with Sound ID’s new 510 Bluetooth headset; the world’s first Bluetooth headset with its own iPhone App.
Sound ID, a company with roots in audiology, designed the 510 with “ear-gonomics” in mind. The set comes with multiple earpieces and an earhook so users can get a comfortable fit. While it has the standard onboard features of answering calls and volume control, it’s companion EarPrint iPhone app allows you to tune the audio quality to your own ear. The app works as an equalizer while adjusting audio compression; softening loud noises and increasing soft ones. You can also enhance your hearing when not on a call, allowing ambient sounds to pass through your ear rather than acting as an earplug. Noise-suppression technology separates voices from other sounds making outgoing audio clearer. And if this isn’t enough, if you misplace your headset the app’s Find Me function will help you track it down.
With the enhanced app features, the Sound ID 510 really takes bluetooth integration to the next level. Priced at $130.00, the 510 will be available in June.
