Mobile Sound

According to ibiblio.org, there are four types of drivers on the highway - the slowpokes, the slow drivers, the fast drivers and finally the tailgaters. I would like to believe those are self-explanatory matters. My point here is, whether you fall in any of those types, you surely will enjoy this latest gadget called the BlueAnt Z9 bluetooth headset while driving.

The Z9 is the leader of the latest Bluetooth generation that features two built-in microphones, voice isolation technology and a clip that allows more convenience. It has a 2.402 to 2.480 GHZ frequency and has a transmission range of 33 feet.

It can be used with more than three peripheral Bluetooth-enabled gadgets at the same time in a 10-meter radius. Using the headset’s combination knob, it is capable of switching from cellphone (a Nokia N93 or a Nokia 6500) or any compatible music player for up to five hours using the BlueAnt Z9 lithium polymer 3, 7 volt battery. It can last about 200 hours of standby time. Energy-efficient, isn’t it? That matches the quality of an Acura Legend tornado fuel saver.

The BlueAnt Z9 Bluetooth headset symbolizes simplicity and style. Weighing only 9.9 grams with a dimension of 4 centimeters, this headset acts as sound filter, resulting to a clear reception of the user’s desired sound.

BlueAnt is the largest supplier of Bluetooth peripheral devices in Australia. Using the latest type of Digital Signal Processor, BlueAnt produces wireless communication products with top-of-the-class designs and features.

The BlueAnt Z9 BlueTooth Headset bagged last year’s CES Innovations Design and Engineering Award. CES is considered as the world’s biggest consumer electronics show.

Currently, the Z9’s price ranges from $59.99 to $84.95.

Bongiovi, one of the known names in acoustics, teamed up with JVC so as to be able to create the KD-S100. This one has been actually based on the KD-SH1000 which is marketed by JVC.

There is not much hullabaloo with the KD-S100 for it can be easily installed in a vehicle just like how you would install a normal unit. It has a USB port and has an SD card slot so you can play your files with this audio system. There is an iPod connector which comes as an option but this does mean that you can plug in your iPods if you would choose to avail of that connector.

I do find this car audio system to be fairly unique. Well, not really as unique as maybe being designed so much so that it rides on the roof rack but who really would want their audio systems to be on the roof?

So you think you would like to own this unit? Sure you do. But take note that even if you do have the cash to own it, you only can purchase it through auto dealers and most of the time, you can get it only if you get a new car. Okay. So it’s that exclusive, if you know what I mean. But I guess, its “exclusivity” may have a good reason so just in case you’re getting a new car, then just make sure you have some money extra to get this cool audio deal.
