The LibertyLink Docker wireless headset (continued)
Setup is simple. Clip the base to your belt, plug the cord into the base and into your phone, then put the headset on. The bendable earhook makes a snug fit so the headset won't go flying if you whip your head around to ogle that cute redhead. The earphone speaker fits just outside the ear canal, instead of inside like most earphones, and it is light and comfortable enough to wear for long periods.
Compared to the more expensive and power consuming Bluetooth radio technology, magnetic induction offers low-power, secure private conversations at about half the cost. As with some other electronic gear, one company makes the technology and chips, while others turn them into retail products. That's the case with the LibertyLink Docker, which was designed by Aura Communications Inc. Retail versions of the product are available from foneGEAR. Suggested retail price for the LibertyLink Docker (aka foneGEAR Cord Free Headset) is $74.99. It is available from http://www.fonegear.com. Closest competitor is the Jabra FreeSpeak which retails at $179, uses Bluetooth and requires an AC adaptor.
You can read all about magnetic induction on the manufacturer's site http://www.auracomm.com. If you are ready to cut the cord, I think you will enjoy the freedom and performance of the LibertyLink. Alexander Graham Bell would be impressed!
OUR RATING: 4 of 5
