The Anycom BSH-100 uses the Bluetooth A2DP protocol to deliver stereo audio. With music, the overall sound quality was marginally acceptable despite noticeable wireless crackling. What's more, the headset couldn't play very loud without distorting. With the transmitter module in our pants pocket or set in the cross-trainer's cup holder, dropouts were fairly rare. On average, they occurred a couple times per hour but lasted only a second or two before the connection was reestablished. The headset successfully paired with our Siemens S66 cell phone. Voice quality on the headset was good, but one caller on the other end said our voice sounded like it was coming through a speakerphone. When we clicked the button to answer a call, we consistently experienced a delay of a couple seconds between the time our cell phone answered and the time we could hear the caller through the wireless link.
In the final analysis, the Anycom BSH-100 is a cool product that's nonetheless hampered by enough minor kinks that we might sit this one out and wait for a next-generation device.
