BT800 – In use

BT800

The back of the BT800 features a USB styled port the same as the BT330, except in the package of the BT800 there is an included USB cable that allows you to charge on the move, a welcome addition to say the least.

The overall call quality on the BT800 was exceptional, it was by far the clearest of all the headsets reviewed here, and this is in part to the unique Digital Signal Processing (DSP). DSP adjusts the call volume to suit the environment within which your call is being made which results in clear audio in the majority of surroundings. In addition to this, the BlueTooth is of the 1.2 variety on the BT800.

Feature-wise, the BT800 has a trick up its sleeve that has a massive bonus to its usability, the LCD display coupled with the 32 foot range means that the headset is the beginning of the roving home/office phone. Obviously the position of the display means that the caller ID function of it is redundant, but in the home/office environment it’s a whole different story.

The BT800 performed flawlessly when distanced from a mobile, to the point where there is no need to carry your phone around your home/office anymore, the caller ID on the headset is all you need to know who’s calling and with that it becomes a great asset to your calling lifestyle.

The recommended retail price for the BT800 is approximately £79.99.
