Belkin Bluetooth Hands-Free Headset

The Belkin's silver and gray headset has a fairly simple design. There's no protruding boom mic, and the device weighs a slight 0.7 ounce. It has a moldable ear hook that, in theory, should comfortably attach the device to either ear. The problem,...

Compact design; decent sound quality.

Horrible, loose fit; on the expensive side; clunky charger setup.

While the Belkin Bluetooth Hands-Free Headset is plenty sleek and cool-looking, its horrible fit makes it virtually unusable.

Review: Belkin Bluetooth Music Receiver

Sometimes the concept of a product is just so spot-on that you fall in love with the product even before getting your hands on it.

If it’s convenience that you’re after, then the Belkin Bluetooth Music Receiver will give it to you. No more wires snaking from your laptop to the stereo. And no longer will you feel naked, with your phone having to be stuck on a shelf rather than...

"Good sound qaulity, but bad setup with cellphone"

I bought it at CDN$20 in factorydirect,when it is on sale. I won't buy it, if price over $20.

Outlook is cool, and hook to ear tightly and comfortably. Good sound quality and light weight.

Not automatically connect to cellphone after setup, you have to get into the menu to connect it with phone manually, which is stupid. I already used 3 BT headsets, no such problem at all.

great product

New egg shipping is, as usual, the bomb!

Everything about this thin BluRay player is great. The remote it came with has access to all of the built in features of the player. Built in wifi Netflix and Hulu make this the ideal option for a low budget blu ray player

Consumer review by: Dan O (newegg.com)

Works sometimes

This is a perfect example of technology that SHOULD work, but categorically fails. I've instead bought an Airplay speaker that has a much better range, doesn't drop out, and sounds much much better. DON'T BUY THIS.

Easy to connect to from my iPhone 4S. Sounds quality pretty good for bluetooth

Sounds drops out all the time, even when my phone is RIGHT NEXT to the receiver. Range is MOSTLY reliable within about 15 feet, but still is never all reliable ; NOTE: These findings are after I removed the metal weight plate from the device. That hack...

Works ok

Don't buy it. It's not worth wasting money on.

It works and is easy to pair with

No pc compatibility audio will cut out this can be hard on your stereo

Works great!

I have two of these and both work great! I'd say the spec range is a bit overstated but 20-25 feet is no problem.

The thing just flat works
