The freedom to move. That's the first thing that comes to my mind when I think of Bluetooth. It doesn't need wires so you dont have to think of how far the devices should be. As a bluetooth enthusiast I have the goal of networking all my devices using bluetooth. I searched the internet for a bluetooth headphone and this one caught my eye.

The Mustek MBT-120 is stylish in design and comfortable to use. Its for active people who don't want to be bothered by pulling out some wires just to have an extra allowance so the headset won't fall. As well as everyone who wants to listen to music without the need for them to put their music player in their pockets.

The package also comes with an adaptor, and it will fit to a 3.5 mm jack, the standard jack for almost all CD and MP3 players. So even if you dont have a bluetooth phone or stereo, you can still use it.

This particular headset can go for more than 10 ft. (the standard reach of bluetooth) to 33 ft from the source. Although when tested with a Nokia N95 phone on a direct connection (without the dongle), it can to only reach for about 20 ft.

On the left side of the headset you will see the PLAY button in the center, surrounded by the +VOLUME button, STOP button, and -VOLUME button. It works flawlessly.


It also has a built in mic so you wont miss a call while listening to your music phone.

Quality of it being both headphone and headset is quite impressive. Being wireless, the quality of sound is far beyond a regular headphone. And the mic is sensitive enough to capture your voice even if it is far from your mouth.

The package comes with a wall charger and a splitter so you can charge the headset and the adaptor at the same time. Charging time is less than an hour and the battery life is more than 10 hours when fully charged. An additional car charger would be nice though *sob*.




Conclussion:
At <$80 you can have a very nice bluetooth headset/headphone that works even if you dont have a bluetooth device. The value is almost comparable to a Bose wired headphone. The brand isn't that popular but it can catch up with major competitors like Sony, Motorola, and Nokia bluetooth headsets.
