Re: Anyone bought an Earset 2 yet?

I was at Carphone Warehouse today looking around...and they showed me the Nokia (£80 now) and the Samsung (£40 now) Bluetooth earpeices. There were a couple of other makes too which were even cheaper! Are they all really that bad compared to the new Earset 2?

have been to my dealer this afternoon, he showed me the Earset2. Looks really nice, I think it will be the perfect thing to wish for birthday or christmas...

Is there a car charger for this earset? Would be good to have one if you want to use it in your car.

Just tried to order one, they are not in stock at my local dealer, they sold their demonstration model.

Delivery MID MAY.

Got it at Xmas - fantastic piece !

Use it all the time. The clever swing arm, turns off power, and if you are not using it extensively will go for days.....Mine connects immediately to my Nxxxa the moment I turn the Earset on.

Am righthanded (last I checked) - bought a left ear.....go figure !

Asked dealer to get me a car cable that would fit the charger + an extra charger......No official cable version for that I was told !? And......an extra charger station.....half the price of an earset....!!! amazing...

I am right handed and I purchased an EarSat2 for the right ear.

joff135:

Thanks for those pics Keith.
You can get left or right side ear models...i am right handed so is the right ear version best for me...or should i go for left ear version because i am in the UK and we have right hand drive cars...hence when window open there is a lot of noise?
Oh...decisions decisions!!!

I always answer the Beocom 6000 with my left ear and often ram my Jabra down it

Thank you very much for that. As I expected the charger is specific to the Earset 2.

Nicholas,

Nothing actually plugs into the EarSat 2 itself for charging. The DC power cable plugs into the holder, you place the Earsat 2 on the holder and a magnet pulls it into place and two gold contacts connect between the charger and the Earsat 2 itself.

Below are some pictures to help you. The first picture is the holder on the wall with the DC power cable pluged in below. The plug is just 3mm in across. Note the two gold pins which will make contact with the EarSat2 when loaded.

The next picture is with the EarSat2 on charge

Note that the red light is on just above the power plug showing it is charging. It turns green when charged.

The third picture shows the power supply for a UK version

So, there you have it.

Regards

Keith..

I am more interested in the end that connects into the Earset 2. Is it standard with anything, i.e. the Serene charger or is it something very different and specific to the Earset 2?

but I would image it can cope with different voltages 110-240v

The charger with the EarSat 2 are different for each country or group of countries which use the same plug type. The reason is the power supply is in the same mounding as the plug itself. In my case in the UK it is mounded into the three pin UK plug. I believe there are 6 different charger types available depending on country.

Clearly the DC voltage out which actually charges the EarSat 2 is the same for all country chargers.

I can supply a picture of the charger if it of interest.

Nicolas;

I started to get my camera out for a photo and realized that the photo you requested already exists here in BEOWORLD. Smart fellows !

Simply go to Products, telephones, and mobile telephone accessories. Click on the lower middle thumbnail photo and there you are. The charger IS the docking station you see.

As far as the socket plug for the wall outlet, I cannot help. I'm not familiar with that item you mention. It will charge in Europe, Asia, North and South America.

Could someone please tell me if it charges using a standard Samsung charger (like the one that comes with an X820)? I would be sold if it does as it would minimize the amount of kit I have to carry around. A photo would be excellent.
