Weightless Headset Phone

Juniper Foo | Dec 15, 2004

It's so high on the cool factor, we just gotta have one, too. From the originators of the Transparent hybrid kayak/canoe, this one's guaranteed to up your popularity ratings when you next have friends over for potluck or dinner. Watch those grubby fingers, though, as the polished base looks imminently smudgeable. For a cordless, we like that it's over the ear with an integrated keypad on the earpiece, making this truly handsfree. Just one niggling concern: There's no info on just what type of battery this headset sucks or if it's even replaceable.

This was a huge disappointment. Not only was the phone extremely uncomfortable to wear, but the audio quality was truly horrible. The people I called all requested I get another phone, and on my end, lots of crackling and static were heard as well. Instructions recommended that you don't let the microphone touch your face, but it was pretty difficult to prevent it. The keys were also very small, and in order to call someone, you really need to take it off to dial the numbers, which was not at all convenient. In theory, this phone looks great, but in reality, it was awful to use.
