Free Jawbone BluetoothThe brand new Bluetooth headset from Aliph, the new Jawbone 2, is of an outstanding quality that combines an amazing design with great features. The new Jawbone is 50% smaller than its predecessor and weights just 10 grams, which makes it extremely comfortable and lightweight to wear and use. Also this version has a new fast charge battery which can charge up to 80% in only 30 minutes.

The Aliph Jawbone includes a new feature called “noise assassin”, developed for the US military to be used in extremely noisy environments such as being in a helicopter and even a battlefield. This blocks out up to 90% of background noise compared to other Bluetooth headsets.

The new Jawbone 2 is constructed with premium materials including ultra smooth medical grade plastic and optional fine leather earloops. It has an elegant, clean look to it and has an invisible button by using touch-surface technology.

The luxurious design of the new Jawbone was created by Yves Behar. The outside cover of the Bluetooth headset is curved which matches the outline of the face so it is comfortable to wear. The look of the outside cover has a unique diamond pattern made up of a three dimensional texture, the materials of which help in reducing background noise. The inside surface of the headset is made from medical grade plastic that makes it soft and smooth on the skin.

Other brilliant features on this latest edition Jawbone headset are that it has a excellent standby time of 8 days and a talk time of 4 hours. It can be used at up to 10 meters away from the mobile phone and can be used on both left and right ears.

Sony Ericsson MPS 60 mobile phone speakers

February 25, 2008 at 9:07 pm by Jay | In Mobile phone accessories

Following on from our look at the Nokia MD-4 speakers, we now look at the Sony Ericsson MPS-60.

These speakers have been around for a while, and offer a great way of sharing your music with friends. Compatible with all Sony Ericsson Walkman phones, the MPS-60 offer an acceptable sound quality for the size of speaker.

Sony Ericsson MPS 60 speakers

The setup and operation is simply plug n play, the speakers will fit onto the connector port of any Sony Ericsson handset, such as the excellent W960i, and an advantage is they do not need their own power source, as they draw power from the phone. Due to the size of the speaker connector, it is not possible to have a power source connected to the phone at the same time, even using the Sony Ericsson pass-through chargers. However if you are running the phone in Walkman only mode, you can get up to 30 hours playback, so this isn’t always an issue.

All volume control of the speakers is done via the main menu on the handset, when the Walkman player is active.

The speakers themselves are connected to the adaptor by orange speaker wire. They come complete in a protective casing, where the speakers can be stored when not in use.

Current you can get Free MPS-60 speakers with any new mobile phone from Mobiles.co.uk.

Nokia MD4 Speakers Review

February 16, 2008 at 2:31 pm by Jay | In Mobile phone accessories

The other day we had some Nokia MD4 Speakers in the office, so I thought I would take the opportunity to put them to the test, just to see how good they are. Here’s what I found:

Free Nokia MD4 Speakers

The Nokia MD4 speakers produce great sound, given the size of the speakers. Small and compact, these foldable speakers are thin, slim, and very pocketable.

The MD4 look good and sound great. The MD4 speakers have a V-shaped design, and can stand in that position, or lay flat. They are compatible with virtually every Nokia phone that has either a pop port connector, 2.5mm or 3.5mm connector. The speakers themselves come with a 3.5mm jack, plus a pop port connector (the AD-15, as supplied with the Nokia N73) and a 2.5mm to 3.5mm convertor, for use with phones such as the Nokia 6300.

Not only do the speakers work with Nokia handsets, but will play music from any device that has a compatible connector. This means iPod. You can connect the speakers to your iPod and straight away you can play your music loud and share with your friends.

Not only iPod though. All Sony Ericsson Walkman phones, for example, are supplied with a headset that allows you to use your own favourite headphones. Using the same connector/adaptor you can connect the Nokia MD4 speakers to your phone for instant mobile stereo.

The MD4 speakers are equipped with a built in stereo amplifier for improved sound quality and also has an internal radio antenna, so you can use the speakers with a compatible handset that has a built in FM radio. The speakers run on 4 x AAA batteries, which give up to 30 hours of music playback.

Testing the speakers in the office we found the sound quality to be very good all round. We played a variety of music, from Opera, Classic and pop to some loud rock, and the sound quality was equally good across all genres.

Overall I found the MD4 speakers to be an excellent piece of kit, very useful, and portable into the bargain. I was that impressed, I promptly went and purchased a set of speakers for use with my N95 8GB and my iPod Classic.

Even better for anyone reading this is that you can get these Nokia Speakers for Free with most Nokia mobile phones from Mobiles.co.uk.
