Freedom is Sweeeeeeet !
That’s the tagline for Cerulean’s F1 Wireless Stereo Bluetooth headset, and they’re right. After a disastrous installation of Apple’s Leopard 10.5 OS I decided I needed a new toy. My local toystore had just taken delivery of a couple of pairs of F1s so I thought, why not?
The CERULEAN F1 combines a mono mobile headset with a stereo Bluetooth earphone, which receives
and reproduces audio from a TX equipped iPod or a stereo Bluetooth mobile device. The CERULEAN F1 forms a bond with a TX equipped iPod and can be simultaneously connected to a supported mobile phone - automatically switching to headset mode upon incoming phone calls and resuming music playback when done. The F1’s features include controls that allow you to adjust volume, cycle through tracks and pause playback. This baby awarded the iLounge.com “Best of Show” award at its preview during MacWorld Expo 2007 for good reason.
It works straight out of the box with Apple’s new Leopard and provides full stereo sound directly from any Mac running Leopard or via a TX transmitter for extended range and performance by making use of Leopard’s A2DP support. I can also remotely control iTunes including Play/Pause and Skip Tracks as needed. On top of that it works as a better-than-average VOiP headset with iChat, and Skype. That’s Christmas taken care of. If you own a Mac and didn’t take my advice to wait before installing leopard, go buy a pair, they rock.
