Windows Phone Thoughts: PocketNow Reviews the i.Tech Clip S Bluetooth Headset

"Recently, Bluetooth stereo audio has hit the market, and we've slowly seen products emerge to offer it. Many of these new Bluetooth Stereo Headsets not only include stereo audio, but also include the requisite handsfree headset capability as well. This means that you can listen to music, and make or receive calls all with one device, no swapping headsets or wires. This sounds great, one device to do it all. Being a music fan, I've been watching this space with great expectations, only to be disappointed with each new launch. These new devices offer handsfree and stereo music, why do they disappoint? Form Factor! These devices have largely focused on stereo, and have a form factor that matches traditional stereo headphones. This is fine for a walkman, and if you're a jogger they're just fine. I however use my handsfree while driving, and having stereo headphones over both ears while driving is illegal. That means that most of the now available Bluetooth stereo headsets (with handsfree capability) cannot be used in a car for handsfree calling... All that changed when I got a glimpse of the i.Tech Bluetooth Stereo Clip headset."



Is this the Bluetooth headset for all seasons? It's small, portable, and versatile. It just might be perfect, though I have to admit I'm not a big fan of the traditional foamed-earbud design, not unless it's the Sony Fontopia-style earbuds!! Anyway, if you like the idea of carrying around one BT headset for both music and phone conversations without having to sacrifice its use while driving, then take a look and let us know what you think. Unfortunately for us US residents, the item is only available overseas!
