Since I can’t think of any phones that have Bluetooth Class 1 radios, the Callpod Dragon Bluetooth headset just might be overkill. Then again, I did find a Class 1 Bluetooth computer dongle for under $40 at Amazon today (affiliate link), so you can Skype all around the house. In either case, $119 nets you the Callpod Dragon and its 100 meter wireless range. Another interesting feature is a push-to-talk like function between two Callpod Dragons. I doubt I’ll be ditching my Motorola mini walkie-talkies anytime soon, but it’s a nifty trick.You can USB charge the Dragon in around three hours which provides eight hours of talk time or up to 300 hours of standby. Callpod says that their Dual-Mic Noise Suppression technology keeps the good noise in and the bad news out. Might be worth a look if you want a comfy-looking, super long-range Bluetooth headset.
