Hi Marissa,

 

You might want to search the archives for a more complete list because this
has been discussed so much lately.

 

I have a Jabra Supreme which is a nice headset (I assume you are looking for
a single ear headset).

The Supreme is not the smallest, but I like the fact that it is nonetheless
light and it hangs on your ear and nothing actually sticks into your ear
canal.

I also like the fact that you turn it on/off simply by unfolding it or
folding it, respectively. This way I never forget to turn it off.

It also has voice announcements and it's clear and loud (at least in my
opinion), it also seems to have good noise cancellation.

 

Another good one is the Jawbone ERA, the Plantronics M50 or M55 (can't
remember which is was) was recently mentioned as a less expensive
alternative).

 

Some people also mentioned some Motorola and Samsung models. I think if you
stick with any of the good brands like Plantronics, Jawbone, Blueamp or
Jabra you won't go wrong and it's just a matter of deciding how much you
want to spend. The Jabra Supreme, by the way, was $99 here in Canada.

 

Lastly, whichever one you consider, just look it up on Amazon, they usually
have a good description and mention if it has A2DP (most of them do
nowadays) and you can see the overall rating which is a good indicator as to
whether it's good or not. In addition you can read user reviews and while
they are not always representative of a product, if I read a bunch I get a
good idea.

 

As for the barcode scanning app I'd be interested to know what you find
Digit Eyes doesn't do. I think it's by far the best one out there and if it
doesn't give you information like directions or nutritional information that
simply means that information was not provided by the manufacturer of the
product.

 

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Subject: bluetooth and possible app question

 

I cannot remember if I asked this already, if so I apologize but I am
looking for a bluetooh headset medium size that is equipped with A2DP
technology thus allowing for me to hear voiceover through the headset & also
works with Siri. Ideas?

 

Also, on another note, does anyone know of an app similar to digit eyes that
would allow for a user to scan a barcode and the directions of the item be
read aloud? ex: I buy a can of soup and yes I could drag around my
maganifer/ portable CCTV to read the instructions but i am looking for an
app that would do that for me?
