Bose outs dual-mic Series 2 BT headset for $150
Bose has replaced its original Bluetooth headset with the Series 2. Improvements include clearer sound even in environments with loud ambient sound and A2DP support. A dual microphone system is considered the key as the combination detects and scrubs outside sound.
Bose's TriPort acoustic structure and Bose Adaptive Audio Adjustment tech automatically counteract unwanted noise levels. A new internal antenna is also said to reduce pops, clicks and buzzes that plague wireless headsets.
The headset can be had in both left- and right-ear versions. LED indicates connection status and battery levels. StayHear tips are included in three sizes to make wearing the headset more comfortable. The device is compatible with Bluetooth 2.1 or earlier phones and can remember pairings for two devices at the same time.
Included with the headset is a zipper case, one-foot USB cable for charging, power adapter and three pairs of differently-sized eartips. It retails for $150.
