Bluetooth Technology

Bluetooth 3.0 is a new innovation in wireless transfer that also promises a drastic reduction in energy consumption by your gadget when no transfer is occurring. It is officially called the Bluetooth Core Specification Version 3.0 High Speed (HS).

What exactly is Bluetooth 3.0?

Bluetooth 3.0 is a Bluetooth specification that comes with theoretical transfer speeds of 24 MB/s. This was adopted by Bluetooth Sig on April 21, 2009. While high speed transfer is the main draw to this new innovation, one drawback is the high energy consumption when transferring data, which means that the device needs to be plugged in more often.

Where Bluetooth 3.0 can be used

Bluetooth 3.0 is ideal for high-speed transfers. The transfer of data is made faster with this new version, and also features the ability to use alternative radio antennas. The increase in transfer speeds to 24 MB/s, up from 3 MB/s in the current 2.1 EDR version comes from using the faster 802.11 radio used by most Bluetooth devices today. Bluetooth 3.0 is also backwards compatible with earlier versions.

Because of these features, it is expected that Bluetooth 3.0 will become the main mode of wireless transfer adopted into future Bluetooth-compatible devices.

With the number of Bluetooth wireless headphones made by different manufacturers, it is easy to get confused and intimiated. Bluetooth-enabled devices are not cheap, so it is best to get the product that gives you the best quality for your money.

Features you should look for in a Bluetooth wireless headphone

A Bluetooth wireless headphone should be convenient and should provide good sound quality. Most Bluetooth wireless headphones have the ability to accept and reject calls, have voice dialing features, the ability to connect to more than one device at a time, and quality sound.

Other specs to check out

It is also good to choose a device with backward compatibility, although most Bluetooth devices are manufactured with this ability in mind. Backward compatibility means that the device is compatible with earlier models of cellphones, printers, and other Bluetooth-enabled equipment.
