Here’s a picture of the latest Bluetooth Headset from Nextlink. This one finally combines the excellent bone conduction microphone from the Invisio line with extra small bluetooth components from the likes of their Bluespoon AX2 headset.
I was just wondering how I would use my Invisio headset on the motorcycle with this new HTC Star Trek phone which doesn’t have an audio jack. Thank you Nextlink!
Anyway, this headset will pick up your voice through a liquid filled bulb that sits against the jawbone in your ear. This greatly reduces ambient noise since there is no ambient noise in your head. I’ve used the wired version of this plenty of times while driving a motorcycle through traffic in Times Square, New York City. Callers can’t believe it since all they hear is my voice.
