Ready for a new slew of Nokia's eerily designed Bluetooth headsets? Nokia is said to have that new style that "it dresses stylishly" from our sister site over at Engadget Japanese, and we're all in agreement here. The newer Nokia models BH-200 and BH-700 are now available for sale in Japan. While the BH-200 is an "outside the ear" headset, the BH-700 models are of the "inner ear" persuasion without any kind of common earhook. The BH-200 comes in at a rather stout 14 grams and can pair with eight simultaneous devices while the BH-700 comes in at 10 grams. Both are pretty close in talk and standby times in hours at 5:30 / 150 and 6:00 / 160, respectively.[Via Engadget Japanese]
Not bad.
I have the discontinued HS-26W that looks like these (outside the ear, thankfully). Not bad, reasonably clear, louder and better noise-reduction than my first-gen Jabra BT100.
It has started disconnecting occasionally, by itself, lately. Probably the battery. Pity BT headsets (mainly tha battery) barely last over 12-24 months, on average.
Whats the difference between these and the ones that are being sold in the states?
FYI the BH-700 comes with a removable earhook.
i can't believe this is news, they have been available her in Australia for six months
Not new for the US either... Had a BH-200 since July 06 -- when Best buy was selling them for $9.99.
