I’m making another exception to my computer-only reviewing policy. In addition to big monitors, another passion of mine is a good wireless headset.

I use Skype and voice recognition software so I’m always looking for a good deal on the best technology. So Todays Deal of the Day is the FREETALK STX-5091 Wireless Stereo Headset for just $79.95!

I’ve tried a lot of wireless bluetooth headsets and have not been content to use any of them on a regular basis.

The FREETALK STX-5091 requires no driver installations. Freetalk is plug and play. Plug it in, wait for Windows (or the Macintosh OS) to recognize it, and in about a half minute you are talking. No pairing headaches like bluetooth.

The FREETALK STX-5091 achieves better than 30 feet of range. Its wireless audio coding gives you a few more meters than BT can at the same transmit power. Just try it. You’ll get 35-40 feet in most conditions, and up to 60 feet in very clean RF interference & obstacle environments.

The FREETALK STX-5091 gives you high fidelity stereo audio and wideband voice. The FREETALK STX-5091 headset natively supports 48 kHz uncompressed stereo audio to the headset, and 16 kHz wideband voice from the headset AT THE SAME TIME.!

The FREETALK STX-5091 is good for gamers You can use it for World of Warcraft, Ventrillo and many others. You have to hear it to believe it. With BT, you are required to use a different profile (A2DP), which does not support simultanous usage of the microphone, AND it compresses the hell out of the audio using a very crude compression scheme called SBC (sub-band coding). About as clean as 96 kbps mp3 in best cases.

The FREETALK STX-5091 costs less than a bluetooth headset and give you more. More range, higher quaility sound and freedom from bluetooth dongles and drivers.

Now you break free of your desk and more around while making SKYPE or other IP Phone calls, using Dragon NaturallySpeaking 9
Voice Recognition software and all the things you do on your headset.

Visit Skype through this link to get the FREETALK STX-5091 Wireless Stereo Headset Deal now!

Jabra BT8010 Stereo/Mono Bluetooth Headset

The multitasking Jabra BT8010 Bluetooth headset acts as a standard mono earpiece connecting you wirelessly to your phone for easy handsfree communication. But it also comes with a second earpiece, converting it into a wireless stereo headset for listening to your phone's music library. The headset features Bluetooth 2.0, the latest in wireless mobile technology, and provides enhanced usability with longer talk time and a clearer signal due to DSP (digital signal processing) background noise cancellation.

Enjoy wireless stereo playback of your phone's music library with the Jabra BT8010 Bluetooth stereo headset.

The main headset offers a host of controls as well as an OLED screen that can recall up to 30 stored contacts.

The main mono unit of the Jabra BT8010 looks like a standard wireless headset with a comfortable ear loop. However, unlike most headsets, it includes a large OLED (organic light emitting diode) display on the side (with blue text on black background) that displays volume level, battery level, mode (phone or music), and caller ID. The BT8010 has a scrollable call history of the latest 15 incoming calls as well as an internal phonebook of 30 contacts. It includes controls for answering/ending a call and music playback, as well as dialing the last number or rejecting a call (phone dependent features).

When you're ready to listen to your tunes, simply connect the second stereo earpiece to the main mono headset via the 14-inch USB cable and tap the mode button to switch to Music mode. While in this mode, the headset functions as a remote control for your music player with play, pause, track forward, and volume functions.

The Jabra BT8010 receives and plays Bluetooth stereo music direct from mobile phones or music players that support the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for advanced stereo and the Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) for remote control from the headset. It's simple to get started with features such as auto-pairing for an easy connection to phones and a jog wheel for navigation of the headset's menus. It also has a multipoint connection that allows simultaneous connection to two devices such as a PC and a phone, or music player and phone. You'll get up to 10 hours of talk time, 6 hours of music streaming, and 300 hours of standby time.

Mobile hacking+ Bluetooth Hacking + Hack through bluetooth

Bluetooth is a wireless protocol utilizing short-range communications technology facilitating both voice and data transmissions over short distances from fixed and/or mobile devices, creating wireless personal area networks (PANs). Well, for hackers, its just another way to get into your mobile device. So let us discuss some ways in which you could actually infiltrate into someone else's mobile gadget ..

BlueScanner : BlueScanner is a bash script that implements a scanner for Bluetooth devices. It's a tool designed to extract as much information as possible from Bluetooth devices without the requirement to pair.

Download it at : http://sourceforge.net/project/platformdownload.php?group_id=195755

BlueBugger -It simply exploits the BlueBug vulnerability of the bluetooth enabled devices. By exploiting these vulnerabilities and leaks, you can gain access to the phone-book, calls lists and other information of the bluetooth device.

Download it at: http://www.remote-exploit.org/codes/bluebugger/bluebugger-0.1.tar.gz

BTBrowser -Bluetooth Browser is a J2ME app. which can browse and explore all the surrounding Bluetooth devices. Browse to different kind of device information.

Download it at : http://www.mobiles24.com/downloads/s/31753-111-bt_browser_20

BTCrawler -It is a Bluetooth scanner for Windows Mobile based devices. It can implement BlueJacking and BlueSnarfing attacks.

Bluejacking is the sending of unsolicited messages over Bluetooth to Bluetooth-enabled devices such as mobile phones, PDAs or laptop computers, sending a vCard which typically contains a message in the name field (i.e. for bluedating or bluechat) to another bluetooth enabled device via the OBEX protocol.

Bluesnarfing is the theft of information from a wireless device through a Bluetooth connection, often between phones, desktops, laptops, and PDAs. This allows access to a calendar, contact list, emails and text messages. Bluesnarfing is much more serious in relation to Bluejacking, but both exploit others’ Bluetooth connections without their knowledge. Any device with its Bluetooth connection turned on and set to “discoverable” (able to be found by other Bluetooth devices in range) can be attacked. By turning off this feature you can be protected from the possibility of being Bluesnarfed. Since it is an invasion of privacy, Bluesnarfing is illegal in many countries.
