A Feature Cornucopia In Updated Bluetooth Design

Headset integrates state-of-the-art technology and features with the latest innovative audio design.

Pittsburgh, PA-based developer and manufacturer of wireless Bluetooth® devices for the consumer electronics market Cardo System recently introduced the S-800™, the first among the company’s next generation of Bluetooth® wireless headsets for mobile phones.

S-800 Headset

The S-800 features a Cambridge Silicone Radio (CSR) chip and a rechargeable Li-Po battery.

The headset’s high-end features and crafted casing, dubbed Precision DesignTM, reflect the merging between state-of-the-art technology, wrapped inside a corresponding high-end shape and finish. The new S-800™ offers a synthesis between cutting-edge engineering and style. Designed for extensive wear and use, the unit can be worn in-the-ear or with an over-the-ear loop.

“The S-800™ is a classic in the making,” says Abraham Glezerman, chairman and CEO of Cardo Systems. “Merging smart technology and top audio quality with an extraordinarily iconic design is what the knowledgeable consumers expect from a high-end Bluetooth® headset. Our new S-800™ was designed to push the envelope and provide the very best that any lab can offer. We expect that this unique headset will convert large audiences to embrace our new concept of Precision Design.”

Despite its small size, the S-800™ offers up to eight hours talk-time and one week of standby time. The headset’s superb acoustic technology, noise suppression solutions and high-end speaker provides superior audio performance—users can operate the headset at a distance of up to 10 m (30 ft) from the mobile phone. Among its features, the S-800™ offers Hot-Dialing, allowing users to store and speed-dial up to three different numbers with one simple click of a dedicated button.

The S-800™ offers SWAP technology to switch the headset’s connection between two mobile phones and a Headset Location Buzzer ensures that the unit will never get lost.

The headset also offers:

  • A Battery Status Indicator.
  • A Missed Call Indicator.
  • A one-touch Call Back button.
  • An optional Auto Answer mode.
  • A Conference Call feature.
  • Voice Dialing capabilities.
  • A Digital Key-Lock.
  • An optional LED Extinction.
  • Button Customization for left handed users.
  • A large control button that offers intuitive access to answering, terminating and rejecting calls.
The new unit is packed with advanced functionality while keeping the weight at just 10.9 g (0.38 oz) and supports handsfree and headset profiles.
