Designed to work with any Bluetooth-compatible phone, this 3.8cm headset weighs considerably less than 42g and looks almost nothing like the standard Star Trek-style headsets worn by drivers and the ostentatiously connected. The microphone, found at the tip of the headset, picks up voices quite well, although it does have some trouble in windy situations. A small rubber attachment on the earpiece keeps it snugly ensconced in the ear, and an unusual coffin-like charging box keeps the tiny device safe and sound when not in use.
The WEP200 has only three buttons: two for volume and a talk/hang-up button. To connect the device, simply press the talk button for a few seconds. The mobile phone audio is then transferred to the headset for hands-free talking.
The headset's battery lasts four hours in use or 70 hours in standby mode. One drawback is that the WEP200 is so small it can get lost in your pocket.
A GO-BETWEEN MOVES MUSIC FROM THE PC TO THE STEREO
The Logitech Wireless DJ aims to make the process of getting music from your computer to your stereo slightly less annoying.
The system consists of a USB key that plugs into a Windows PC, a receiver and a remote control. Once it's all plugged in, Logitech's StreamPoint software activates iTunes or Windows Media Player and begins sending track data and audio to the receiver. The slim remote control has a bright backlighted screen that shows what track you're playing and allows you to browse your collection.
The Wireless DJ can stream to one or more receivers. The system has a range of about 45m and connects to a stereo via standard RCA jacks or 3.5-mm headphone cable. The receiver can charge the remote's lithium-ion battery, which runs about a week on a charge.
The Wireless DJ can play back protected content, like tracks purchased from the iTunes Music Store.
