Given the incredible popularity of Bluetooth wireless headsets, the technology seems to improve every day. For example, the VXI BlueParrott TalkPro B1000-GTX and B150-GTX Bluetooth Wireless Headsets are now certified by Nuance Communications for use with the Dragon Naturally Speaking speech recognition software. Voice recognition software has given Bluetooth users everywhere a new freedom as their speech operates their computing system. I imagine this would come really handy on those occasions when you need a snack, and have to leave your work station. As you walk to the refrigerator, let your voice do the work. (Just try not to be too surprised when you get back.)

The Blue Parrott TalkPro B1000-GTX kit includes a monaural Bluetooth headset and a USB base station. If your PC is not Bluetooth compatible, this model is highly recommended. All you need to do is plug the B1000-GTX base station into the computer’s USB port, and wireless connectivity can be enjoyed from up to 75 feet from the base station!

For users that do have a Bluetooth enabled PC, laptop, or other electronic device, it is recommended that they use the Blue Parrott B150-GTX. The B150-GTX kit comes with the monaural Bluetooth headset, but includes a recharging accessory as well as AC and auto charging cords. The range is weaker, at only 33 feet. However, how far do you really intend to be away from your computer when you use this product?

Both the TalkPro B1000-GTX and B150-GTX are designed to give noise-cancellation and accuracy that rates them far above their competitors. They are also designed with proper microphone positioning and a gooseneck microphone boom, in order that they produce the best results for the user. They have over the head monaural styling to improve on their stability and comfort. Not only are they both equipped with digital encryption technology, but they each have a two year warranty.

The BlueParrott TalkPro B1000-GTX retails at about $290, while the B150-GTX should run about $164.99.
