Bang & Olufsen promises “best-sounding” Bluetooth.

Audio expert Bang & Olufsen is claiming to have raised the bar on the quality of hands-free Bluetooth cellphone car kits for drivers.

 

This is the Earset 2, which its maker claims can banish background noise from the conversation. Two state-of-the-art multi-directional microphones filter out everything but wearer's vocal tones. The speaker in the earpiece is described as "as fully fledged cabinet speaker in miniature." Supported by air vents and a bass port, it's claimed to reproduce the human voice with the highest degree of accuracy. It fits to the ear via the standard B&O three-way adjustable surround.

 

The firm's business manager, Brian Stilling Laursen, commented: "Continuing the design introduced with our earphones, the appearance and comfort of Earset 2 is distinctive from any other wearable communication device available today. Our ambition is to create the best-sounding and best-looking Bluetooth headset on the market, and we've set a new standard for refinement and ease-of-use." The Earset 2 has a range of up to ten meters, 100 hours of standby and four hours of talk time. It's priced at $349.
