First Mobile In-ear Headset by BOSE
Bose has introduced their first mobile in-ear headset.
The headset features an inline microphone and one-touch answer/end button that lets users switch seamlessly from music to calls and back. It is compatible with most music-enabled mobile phones, including the iPhone 3G and original iPhone models. A set of three different 2.5mm adapters is included for connections to other mobile phones.
Employing proprietary Bose technologies, including Bose TriPort acoustic headphone structure and an electro-acoustic design, the headphones are ergonomically designed for extended listening, resting in the outer bowl of the ear. Three interchangeable, differently sized silicone ear tips - small, medium and large - provide a comfortable fit. The Bose design makes light contact with the entrance to the ear canal, reducing irritating pressure points, yet establishing enough contact to hold the headset in place.
The in-ear headset joins the mobile on-ear headset to create a family of solutions for mobile users.
The Bose mobile in-ear headset will be available for Rs. 7,313.
