We wrote few weeks ago about the Nextlink Invisio G5, that claimed to be the smallest Bluetooth headset around. Adtec announced this week their new device – the AD-HSM10. This new Bluetooth headset is really small and weighs only five grams, so you forget that you have something hanging in your ear canal. Reportedly, it can live through three hours of of talk time or 100 hours in standby. The AD-HSM10 will be available in two colors: silver or titanium. The headset will be available in late January for about $78.

We don’t know much about the Adtec’s product, so we are anxiously waiting to grab one of those tiny headsets for some testing sessions.

As we know, Palm is not very known as being a huge accessory supplier, but their line of Bluetooth headsets has reached the 3rd generation with the release of the new Palm Wireless Headset Series 3. The Palm Wireless Headset Series 3 looks just like the Plantonics line of Bluetooth headsets. In fact, it is likely just a rebranded version.

Palm’s prices for their branded Bluetooth headsets have come down tremendously in the past year, with this latest release sporting a reasonably MSRP of only $69.99, although this version omits the bundled AC charger of both previous Palm headsets as well as the generous accessory bundle found in the package of its predecessor. Palm bundles three soft gel ear tips with this headset to ensure a proper fit for all sizes of ears. The Series 3 headset does appear to have a flatter, easier to manage design than the contoured casing of the 2nd-generation headset.

The Palm Wireless Headset Series 3 is available for sale now from Palm.com for $69.95.

Bang & Olufsen introduced the wireless Bluetooth headset EarSet 2. The device provides a superb comfort with an ergonomic design. The Bang & Olufsen EarSet 2 uses two omni-directional microphones placed 30mm apart along with digital signal processing, while the mics block out wind noise and filter external sounds.
The Bang & Olufsen EarSet 2 is constructed out of plastic and aluminum with a very light weight. The speech quality is enhanced by the air vents and a bass port for increased tonal precision. When the mic folds out the EarSet 2 turns on and when you fold the mic back up the EarSet 2 turns off to help you save battery life. The device charges and is stored in a container that serves as the charger. The EarSet 2 must be purchased based on the ear that you’ll be using it in. because it is not reversible. As usual, for the Bang & Olufsen products, it is not be a cheap bluetooth headset, selling for around $320-$350, and do not expect for price drops. As a Bang & Olufsen product’s lover, I wont mind to pay for it, if it performs well.

For more details, check the official product’s page from the Bang & Olufsen website.
