• Review: Logitech h800 Wireless Headset

    In the past 6 months, I've started to spend a lot of time on the phone for work, so having a comfortable way to listen (mostly) to the calls has become quite important. I've tried various earbuds and a few Bluetooth headsets, but haven't quite been satisfied. Since I use the second line of my Ooma
    for work, I have to use a Bluetooth headset (I used earbuds for my iPhone). The problem with this arrangement is that the headset has to have a physical mute button; this is a button that many manufacturers are leaving off their devices as they rely on the phone's mute capability. So my quest began in December to find a Bluetooth headset that had a mute button.

  • Review: mysaver:diy

    I've read about a number of mysaver (sorry, the website is all Flash) which aimed to make the iPhone/iPad cables more robust. I didn't know I needed the product until I looked at one of my cables started to split at the end where the cable entered the connector. While most projects take awhile after funding to make it to production and shipment, I was amazed at how quickly they got the product out the door.

  • Review: Viewcon Active USB Extension

    One of the features of my Ooma system is the ability to add a Bluetooth Adaptor
    so that I can use a Bluetooth headset with it. I bought the Bluetooth adapter and started trying out headsets. Unfortunately my Ooma box is in one room and my office is in the next. Despite getting a 10 ft. USB cable, I couldn't get the Bluetooth adapter close enough to have a clear connection.

  • A nightmare shopping experience

    Despite my wife warning me to not go shopping today, I decided to leave the house to look for a Logitech h800 wireless headset. I checked Best Buy's website and saw that they had the headset in stock. (I wanted to get it locally in case I needed to return it.)
