etyBLU2 Bluetooth Wireless Headset unveiled by Etymotic Research

Etymotic Research has announced its second-generation Bluetooth wireless headset. The upgraded version of the popular etyBLU headset contains etyBLU’s highly-directional, noise-canceling microphone in a fixed-boom configuration, a design change that allows optimal antenna placement for improved range between headset and mobile phone.

Power users on mobile phones over 3000 minutes a month rely on clear, often private communication. The need for repetition or increased vocal effort on either end of the conversation can be damaging to business. etyBLU2’s noise-canceling microphone picks up the talker’s voice within a narrow range and rejects background noise that comes from outside that range. The combination of an in-ear noise-isolating earphone that blocks out 98% of background noise and a directional microphone placed close to the mouth results in exceptional sound quality and clear communication at both ends of the conversation.

Etymotic Research will demonstrate the new etyBLU2 headset at booth #3814 in the iLounge Pavilion in the North Hall at the International Consumer Electronics Show (CES), January 7-10, 2010, in Las Vegas.
