With a high-gloss piano black finish, the lightweight Sound ID 300 Bluetooth headset displays a sophisticated design while also providing innovative functionality designed by an experienced team of hearing specialists and acoustic scientists.

The headset is easily charged via USB ports, can be worn in either your right or left ear, includes an optional over-the-ear hook, and has a battery life of up to 6 hours.

The Sound ID 300 Bluetooth headset combines sophisticated design with innovative audio enhancements (see a larger schematic image of all controls).

Features and Specifications

• NoiseNavigation optimizes speech intelligibility at both ends of the conversation, as dual microphones isolate speech and DSP algorithms automatically reduce wind and background noise.
• PersonalSound lets you choose from three listening modes--tuned to the most common hearing preferences--to further enhancing speech clarity without raising the volume.
• Automatic Volume Control eliminates the need for constant volume adjustment in variable noise situations such as driving.
• Scientifically designed RealComfort EarLoops provide a secure and comfortable fit and better channel sound into the ear for enhanced listening and extended wear.
• Easy controls for volume, mute, voice dialing, and call answer/end
• Universal charging thanks to compatibility with standard micro USB chargers.
• Compatible with most Bluetooth enabled phones
• Supports Secure Simple Pairing with Bluetooth 2.1-compatible handsets
• Up to 6 hours of talk time
• Up to 9 days (220 hours) of standby time
• Range up to 33 feet (10 meters)
• Weighs less than 0.28 ounces (8 grams)

PersonalSound Enhancement
Sound ID's unique and innovative PersonalSound feature improves speech understanding by adjusting frequency and pitch of what you hear, without increasing volume. In a high background-noise environment, you can select a stronger enhancement setting (which can be changed at any time) to help you more clearly understand the conversation.

Select a PersonalSound setting by pressing the Volume/PersonalSound button for approximately 2 seconds, until you hear a corresponding beep to the sound enhancement levels (default setting is normal):

• One beep: Normal listening enhancement
• Two beeps: Moderate listening enhancement
• Three beeps: Strong listening enhancement
• Four beeps: Noise reduction off

4.0 out of 5 stars Great headset.. second time around, July 11, 2009

By 

Steveo (Baltimore, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Sound ID 300 Bluetooth Headset - Ebony Black (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I used this headset for three weeks with my ATT Tilt and then my iPhone 3GS. No issues; call quality was great. Best headset I have used to date. Then, out of the blue, it would not turn off. I tried a number of things referring to the manual and then ultimately calling customer service. I even let the battery die. Sound ID replaced it with no issues.. and now I have a new one that works great.

I am not happy with the inconvenience of having a defective unit the first time around (-1 star) but the company stands behind their product and it is a good headset. I would definitely recommend this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best I've had so far, July 1, 2009

This review is from: Sound ID 300 Bluetooth Headset - Ebony Black (Wireless Phone Accessory)

When I got my Sound ID 300 headset I was expecting a bit better than some of the headsets I've had before. What I got was better than I imagined. This headset is very comfortable and I sometimes forget that I am wearing it! Most of the people I call don't know I'm wearing a headset and the noise cancellation works so well that many don't hear my (very active) kids in the back seat of my car! I would recommend this headset to anyone looking for a high-quality product that delivers what it promises.

This review is from: Sound ID 300 Bluetooth Headset - Ebony Black (Wireless Phone Accessory)

I was skeptical when I ordered this one. I have never had one that really had the battery last as long as advertised. But I received this one on 9/3/09 and charged it for the first time and I just put it on charge for the second time on 9/9/09. I would leave it on all day and turn it off at night until the last couple of nights I left it on continuous. I am amazed how long the battery lasts! The sound quality is ok. The caller on the other end can hear you without complaining. I have left a couple of voice mails on my work and home phone. It sounds pretty good. Not as good as the Jawbone, but the ear piece and ear hook are much better. and it is soooo small and light! I am very pleased with this headset.Sound ID 300 Bluetooth Headset (Ebony Black)
