Take Your Finger Out of Your Ear - Now You Can Hear With Both Ears and Work With Both Hands

New binaural headset lets people hear with both ears and work with both hands. Unique product has 2.5mm plug for cordless, cellphones and some corded phones. Dealer becomes product designer because no suitable headset was available from traditional suppliers.

Milford CT (PRWEB) December 1, 2003 -- If you look around an airport, hotel lobby, ballpark, playground or convention center, youll see a strange sight: people talking on cellphones with fingers or pens stuck in their ears.

Unless they block out the background noise, they cant hear what the other person is saying.

Now theres a better way to use a phone. The new BN25 binaural headset from AbleComm has dual earpieces, so you can hear with both ears, block out the background noise, and use your fingers and writing implements for pressing phone buttons, typing and writing.

AbleComm president Michael N. Marcus says "We've been struggling with the "Big Two" headset makers. They think that headsets with 2.5mm plugs are used only by people driving cars, so they make single-ear models to let you hear horns and sirens while you talk and drive."

"But we know," he continued, "that lots of 2.5mm headsets are used outside of cars: some with cellphones, some with cordless phones, and some with wired phones in offices and homes."

Marcus explained, "If you're in a quiet spot, a single earpiece is fine. But if your home or office is less than quiet, or if you're in a train, airport or stadium, it's much better to hear voices with both of your ears, and block the noise. We couldnt get what we needed from the major headset manufacturers, so we designed our own headset and found an ISO 9001-rated factory to make it."

"I realized the need for this headset," he said, "in a noisy convention center. I saw lots of people using cellphones with fingers, or even pens and pencils, stuck in their ears. I even saw a woman sticking her cellphone's antenna in one ear while using a headset on her other ear. One busy guy was holding a Palm Pilot with his left hand and the stylus in his right hand; and had some other guy hold a cell phone against his right ear while covering up his left ear to block the noise. It took TWO PEOPLE to make a phone call. This was ridiculous. I thought there had to be a better way."

Binaural headsets are often used in large "call centers" and offices; but until now, it has been tough to find a binaural model made with the 2.5mm plug that is used on cellular phones, cordless phones, and an increasing number of corded phones. (There is one other 2.5mm binaural headset, but its an industrial strength" model better suited for construction sites than hotel lobbies.)

Complementing its dual speakers, the BN25 has a noise-canceling microphone on a long, strong, moldable boom that can be positioned close to your mouth for the strongest possible voice pick-up, with minimal background noise.

This new headset is lightweight and secure; and comfortable, with or without eyeglasses. It's deluxe in sound, construction and feel; and warranted for two years.

• The BN25 weighs just 2.3 ounces -- less than a small order of fries at McDonalds. It's easy to wear, all day long.

• It comes with two sets of ear cushions: foam and leatherette. Wear whichever type you prefer. Or get freaky: put foam on one ear, and leatherette on the other.

• The BN25 is built to be a 2.5mm headset. There's no clunky adapter or converter that can come apart or snag on something.

• Audio Clarity Technology and Acoustic Shock Protection provide premium quality sound with safety and comfort. You won't get blasted by a sudden loud sound when you use the BN25.

• The receiver elements are extra efficient for higher volume. They'll give you an added boost in noisy environments, and work well with phones that have low headset output.

• The Voice Trap noise canceling microphone is equipped with a wind screen like pilots and broadcasters use, to block Mother Nature's noises and your own breath sounds. The microphone in the BN25 is designed to respond to the frequency range of the human voice, and reject everything else.

• Each earpiece can pivot both horizontally and vertically in the new GyroFloat suspension. Its free to float to match the contours of your face. It stays positioned perfectly on your ear, with very gentle pressure.

• There's no cable yoke around your neck -- a single lightweight cord connects to both earpieces.

• The cord is equipped with an adjustable clothing clip to help keep your headset on your head as you move around. If the cord gets caught on something, the headset won't fly away or flop on the floor.

• The microphone boom on the BN25 is a strong metal gooseneck, yet it is very thin, lightweight and flexible. It can be molded to stay in almost any position, and will withstand thousands of bends without breaking.

• You'll have a "No Questions Asked," abuse or accident, two-year warranty. If it breaks, it gets fixed or replaced, quickly.

• Price is just $96 with FREE SHIPPING in the USA, even to Alaska or Hawaii.
