Orb, New Bluetooth Headset that Twists into a Ring
A new Bluetooth headset design is out to be launched in 2010, the so-called Orb Bluetooth headset. Without a doubt, Bluetooth headsets have come a long way in terms of functionality and style. However, many people still find it awkward and little bit dorky to have a headset affixed onto one ear only. True, most headsets of this type are already designed to perfectly fit the shape of the ear but it still feels a bit uncomfortable to wear.
Orb Bluetooth is said to be the solution to that problem. It is an innovative new Bluetooth headset that can be transformed from being a wireless earpiece into a ring. So, whenever the earpiece is not in use, it can be simply worn on your finger. If you want to take a call, just twist the ring and you would be capable of hands-free calling again.
Though the product is not yet officially launched in the market, Orb already has a deluxe edition. It features a Flexible Organic Light Emitting Device (FOLED) screen that displays caller ID, calendar reminders as well as voice-to-text information. This last feature is intended to enable communication without the need of taking the ring off the finger. Both base and deluxe models have a class 2 Bluetooth range of 30 feet.
NXT technology is incorporated in the Orb Bluetooth headset enabling it to provide high quality bone conduction audio. This technology means that it can be used without having to put the device inside the ear. It was developed through the partnership of Hybra Advance technology Inc. with AbsolutelyNew Inc.
The Orb is designed to fit most sizes of fingers, from petite to stubby ones. There is an availability of different sizes. So, if you want to replace your old Bluetooth headset with the Orb, the size of your finger should not stop you. The base Orb unit is expected to be released on January 2010 with a price of $129 while the deluxe version is priced at $175 and is due on April of that same year.
