Two onboard microprocessors power this Bluetooth wireless headset. Users can download apps for tasks such as writing and sending e-mail with a speech-to-text system. An accelerometer allows functions to be controlled by tapping or shaking the headset. For instance, a vigorous shake will put the headset into pairing mode, where it can be linked to the user’s phone.
