Rocketfish Bluetooth Headseat

After getting frustrated with my headphones at the gym (I kept snagging to cord on something and having to unhook them to answer phone calls), I went in search of a wireless headset. Surprisingly, there aren’t that many stereo Bluetooth headsets out there. Most of the headsets I found were well over $100 and many of them didn’t have a microphone or good reviews. Then I found the Rocketfish RF-MAB2…

Rocketfish is Best Buy’s in-store brand, which caused me a little apprehension considering some of their other in-store brands (e.g. Insignia TVs) are not exactly quality products. Overall, I’m impressed with what $60 got me: a lightweight, wireless headset I can run with and answer calls on the fly.

Pros: Comfortable behind-the-neck fit (though some people complain about the plastic neckband); Easy to sync with my iPhone 3Gs; Battery life of 10-15 hours; Amazing range (I walked across half the gym before realizing I left my iPhone with my towel); Excellent sound quality on both calls and music (but some callers said I sounded like I was in a tunnel).

Cons: Fastforward and rewind buttons don’t work with iPhone because Apple has yet to include AVCRP framework in the iPhone operating system; Can’t crank my music up to 11.
