LOS ANGELES -- Gadget Grrl likes the look and feel of the Zivio headset. For starters, this is not like most of the other Bluetooth headsets out there.
This one has an actual boom microphone that extends down near your mouth
for better input while talking.
Next, since most hotel alarm clocks are set to some fuzzy radio station and usually go off at 3 am, traveling with your own alarm clock can be useful.
Here is an alarm clock that you can program to motivate, encourage, remind
and wake you up on the road.
Now back to that headset.
Of note here is the style and design of the headset; it just does not look or feel like it was constructed out of cheap materials, like so many other headsets on the market.
Unlike some headsets, this one has three very easy-to-access, easy-to-use buttons on the face. Two to operate the volume and one called the Joby (manufacturer) button to handle the calls.
Its microphone extends down approximately three inches from the headset and it
should be noted that the extension is malleable and bends, so it's not stiff while being worn.
I found that both receiving and making calls were clear. I was able to carry on a conversation at a normal level without having to increase the volume of my conversation in order for the person on the other end to hear me.
