O ROKR Bluetooth Eyewear

27 Sep, 2007, 12:53 pm IST | Shayne Rana | Headphones

Having long hair is definitely a plus if you’re going to use these – it'll hide the earpieces easily. The glares are a bit too dark in my opinion. But on the whole they are nice to wear and had good range (almost six meters easily.) The battery lived up to its claim of four hours. Nice.

Now on to the main aspect. I gotta admit the sound quality was quite good. (Then again, most Bluetooth headsets are.) Once you adjust the earpieces to sit into your ears – as best you can – you will notice that the clarity of the music is really quite good.

However, I did have a bit of a problem while taking calls. Although the volume was at maximum, the person at the other end wasn’t as audible as I expected. I kept asking if he could hear me and he could – but not too clearly. Pity an adjustable mic isn't on offer as well.

I had the opportunity to test it with the new RAZR 2 V8 and they make a great pair.

The Bottom Line
The glares are a great accessory to for the truly fashion-conscious. If you’re into brands, you can't do better than Oakleys, right? But the O ROKR, although innovative, is not a fully functioning Bluetooth headset for your mobile.

It's great for music, and though a bit too dark for the eyes, still serves its purpose. And it’s all good when it comes to style. But if you’re going to use the O ROKR for calls, bad idea.

Priced at around Rs. 13,000, it could turn out to be an expensive gift. Still, I’d take it. So if you can afford it, I say go right ahead, knock yourself out.
