How does this compare to the original Bluespoon and more importantly the Sony Ericsson HBH-60... as I have one on order. 
I was hoping to see something new asthetic-wise with the new Bluespoon, that gold is ugly IMO.

Digital is quite different from the normal Bluespoon :
2 microphones and a different design are the things you can see on the Digital from the outside,..and NO,..we dont use the Jawbone-microphone on Bluespoon.
The Algorithms (the way Bluespoon works,..to put it the more simple way) are, should I say, the "heart" of the Digital 
On the microphone part :
Emphazised Voice Focus.
Duo (double) Noise cancelling system.
Pseudo Boom microphone,..meaning it makes a Virtual boom, where it operates.
The speaker part :
Audio Gain control processing.
Adaptive audio filtering,...the filtering of sound changes.
Adaptive environmental noise cancelling,..meaning depends on surroundings.
Digital's noise cancelling/filtering works a bit like this :
If you are in a very noisy area : Noise-cancelling will be aggressive, and "hit hard".
If you are in a "low-noise area" noise cancelling will be smooth/not aggressive at all.
It will adapt all the time to your surroundings.
Feel free to download our PDF from the website :
http://www.nextlink.to
(its on the frontpage, to your right, called Digital Download) 
The gold and silver are the same,..its just a color-change. A lot of people love the gold, hehe...it does look very good I think IRL
The gold is the WARM one,..the silver the COOL one.
I did two different ones,..based on former experiences,..and the fact that we are not alike,...me for instance, I have red-brownish beard and gold-brown glasses,..and also goldish sunglasses,..so the Gold version looks ok on me.
Around the world people have different taste,..e.g. jewelery,..some like silver, some prefer gold.
Not too much black color on them,..the blue part is much more Nextlink logo/"boomerang-styled" than the current Bluespoon, and "drop" lower on the Spoon.
We didnt want to do Bluespoons that looked too freaked out or too sci-fi like,...they should resemble the lines of the current Spoons, but still look newer.

Thanks a lot for all of that input, Jan. I had every intention of buying a Bluespoon, but now I am definitely getting one of these. Very nice.
You guys did an incredible job on this earpiece. Great work, IMO.
And personally, I love the gold. That's the one for me. |

Your welcome,...well, I dont know yet what different versions will be out,..but we got different stuff up our sleeves, hehe.
Standard (Silver) Bluespoon is clearly the best selling Bluespoon.
Silver and gold will be the first ones,..dont know if there will be others in the Digital series,..depends of course
And thanks
regards

JH67,
Any reviews available on the web on the digital model so far?
Does the Digital Bluespoon work to reduce "wind" noise? You know when the wind is blowing or when you are cycling, mic tends to pick up the noise of the wind blowing over the mic. Is the noise reduction able to reduce or eliminate this noise?
Thanks! Can't wait to pick up a Digital Bluespoon!

Yes,..the noisecancelling is adaptive (=changes),..meaning the algorithms (software) will be aggressive, when theres a lot of noise,..and non-aggressive in quite areas
When being aggressive, your voice will of course sound a bit different, since the cancelling "hits hard",...BUT the people you're talking to, will hear your voice very clearly.
And if you are in a quite area, the noisecancelling will "back off".
The problem with headsets have always been the microphone,..meaning the people you're talking to, would have a hard time hearing you. This is why Bluespoon Digital is being introduced
Question 2 : No,..there has not been any magazine reviews yet

Don't suppose that this one will fit in the left ear as well as the right? It doesn't seem to mention this anywhere on the website. |

What is the word on using a BlueSpoon Panther with a open topped convertible? Can people hear you speak?
I own a Porsche convertible with a windstop and I'm curious whether I can use the Panther while I'm driving at about 120 km/hr with the top down.
I would also like to use the BS while road cycling, but I thought that was a lot to ask for.
Thanks. | |
