New bluetooth headset claims distances up to 100 meters

We’re all for the idea of wireless technology, but don’t think we’re in the minority when we say that quality audio is more important than ridiculous distance. Why someone would need a bluetooth headset to work a football field away escapes us. But, that’s what the new Callpod Dragon headset claims. It does pack a couple slick features, including dual-mic noise suppression and a two-way walkie-talkie feature if you have two of them. We get nervous setting our phone down on a desk and being six feet from it, much less 328. But, if that trips your trigger, the Dragon will set you back about $120.

    If it gives good clarity at the 50 yard line, I’m up for it. Would be nice to walk the house.

    Just like Jeff said, if I can now walk around the house and not loose the call would be great.

    The only issue is, most cell phones are only Class-2 Bluetooth, so the distance is limited by the phone. The Motorola V3 is the only phone on the market with Class-1 Bluetooth.

    There arent many scenarios I an think of where you need something like this. A few that come to mind:
    When I go running I leave the cell phone at home or in the car to lesten my weight, would be nice to still be connected to it. With the mp3 player I could listen and talk while running.

    If you are a kid and your school does not allow cell phones, you can leave your phone in a locker and still accept calls if you need to.

    With the walkie-talie feature you could easily talk to someone else easily without actually using minutes.

    The price is cheap, and if the quality is anything above average then I would seriously buy this.

    Does anyone know how much it costs to license the Bluetooth signal and what the difference between Class 1 and Class 2 is…?
