Kyocera Wireless Portable Speaker with Headset review


The Kyocera Wireless Bluetooth headset fits into the portable speaker.

The pairing process for the headset is pretty easy. We paired it with the T-Mobile Sidekick 3 as well as the LG enV (VX9900), and it worked flawlessly. The portable speaker doesn't function until you dock the headset with it. But when you do, you can make and answer calls as easily as you would with the headset. Features include last-number redial; answering, rejecting, and ending a call; three-way calling; voice-dialing support; call transfer from the speaker to the phone; and call mute. All of these features are available on the headset as well when it is docked into the speaker.

Call quality was pretty impressive, on both the headset and the speaker. Callers could hear us loud and clear, though sound quality did suffer a little bit in windier conditions outside. However, we actually found the quality of the portable speaker a lot better than the quality of the phone's own speakerphone. The portable speaker could then be a viable hands-free alternative in the car, in case you don't want to wear your headset all the time.

The device also comes with an array of charging options. You can charge it via USB, with an AC adapter, or via an in-car adapter. The headset has a rated talk time of up to 4 hours and a rated standby time of up to 4 days.
