Manufacturer's Own Hype

Talk on your mobile phone without wires with the Dragon Bluetooth headset. With a 328+ ft range, you can roam around your office or home without having to carry your phone. Dragon can also connect with your PC for Skype calls simultaneously, allowing you to switch between your PC and mobile phone with a press of a button. With advanced dual-microphone noise suppression, the callers on the other end will enjoy crystal clear voice even if you are at an airport, noisy restaurant or car. Works with all Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones, computers and PDAs.

Editor's Comment

The good news:The 327 foot range is impressive and the Callpod Dragon is very user friendly.

Consider also:The headset is quite comfortable and secure. On the downside, the outgoing sound quality is terrible. Callers reported hearing cracks, echos and in some cases had trouble understanding. We tested out two headsets because we were so surprised at how bad the sound quality was. Both headsets were equally bad.

Bottom Line:This is the only Bluetooth headset right now that has a 327 foot range, so if you need the range and you don't care what your callers hear, then this may be the headset for you.

I do not like this stupid headset

Umm, it's ugly and it doesn't work what less could you ask for?

Couldn't even get it to work

Every time I pressed the on/off switch, the headset would put itself in pairing mode. Once I paired it to my phone, the answer/end calls button wouldn't work. What a garbage headset. It doesn't even fit that comfortably. I'm returning it today.

Mixed bag on this one

The Dragon has an impressive lit of features but I really just needed a good headset. Unforunateley, the sound quality was not as good as I would have hoped. Despite the long battery life and extended 300 foot range (that most phones do not support) I's have a hard time recommending this bluetooth headset to a friend.

Great Range but TERRIBLE Sound

The good points, the headset gets great range, further than any other bluetooth I've used. I left my cell phone on my desk and walked out of the building and halfway accross the parking lot before it started cutting out. BUT... The outgoing sound is terrible. My coworker told me I sounded like a monster when I talked to her and someone else told me I sounded like I was under water. I don't think I can use it without annoying everyone I talk to. Too bad.
