Red from the Red Ferret Journal reviews the Nextlink Invisio G5 “world’s smallest” Bluetooth headset, giving it generally high marks all around, noting the small size does make it a bit fiddly when in use. What I hadn’t realized is that the mobile charging station [on the right, not to scale] actually has a battery of its own, capable of topping off the G5′s somewhat miniscule battery even when you’re away from the mains:
The real innovation of the product is the clever little cigarette box sized charging station which contains a battery to keep your headset charged while on the road without needing the power cable. It’s a great feature as it protects the device as well as improving the talk and standby time by a significant amount. The specs say that the standby time extends to 30 days (with 20 hours talk) with this box, so it’s a real winner. Again the whole thing is easy to use, just slot the headset into the case and snap the lid shut. The case will then start charging the headset automatically with a quick 10 second show of the LED lights to prove that it’s all working as it should. Nice.
Hands on with the Invisio G5 – trying not to lose the smallest Bluetooth headset in the world [RedFerret.net]
