Blueant V12 LCD Bluetooth Headset

review DATE:07.02.07

BlueAnt V12

review

By Jon Halpin

Incorporating an LCD into a headset is not the most obvious design choice. After all, your ear is not usually in your line of vision. Still, it can be darn handy for screening calls without having to check you actual handset. The screen on BlueAnt's V12 LCD Bluetooth Headset does just that, although in most other ways it is a pretty conventional headset.

Spec Data
  • Price as Tested: $79.99 List

Bottom Line

For those who are looking to put some distance between themselves and their handsets, the V12 offers plenty of information on its nifty LCD.

Pros

LCD provides status information other headsets can't. Lanyard is helpful for getting the visuals off the LCD. Slips on easily. Lightweight.

Cons

Bulky. Caller ID displays phone numbers rather than names.
