Advanced Bluetooth Headset Design Costs $5

( 1 May 2008 )

CSR has launched BlueVox2 mono headset solution costing just $5. Featuring AuriStream for superior voice quality, simultaneous connection of multiple devices and support for Bluetooth version 2.1+EDR, BlueVox2 also presents headset manufacturers with the opportunity to design the world's smallest Bluetooth headsets through an ultra small 4.5x5.5mm BGA package option. The low eBOM of $5 includes the BlueVox2 QFN chip, together with all of the components necessary for a Bluetooth mono headset mounted on a four-layer printed circuit board. BlueVox2 is power efficient, permitting 15 hours talk-time with a small 120mAh battery. The device also includes hardware-based noise reduction technology.

BlueVox2 allows two or more Bluetooth devices to be connected to the same headset—making it possible to take calls from both a work and personal phone or a phone and a VoIP dongle—without impacting the power consumption. In addition, BlueVox2 supports Bluetooth v2.1+EDR, offering Secure Simple Pairing.
