CNET editors' review
Anycom BSH-100 price range: $99.00
- Reviewed by: Nathaniel Wilkins
- Edited by: Jasmine France
- Reviewed on: 02/16/2006
The good: Anycom's BSH-100 Bluetooth stereo headset works with cell phones, portable audio players, and PCs, and it includes an audio-transmitter module for devices without integrated Bluetooth. It also supports the Bluetooth A2DP audio-streaming protocol and features removable rechargeable batteries and a comfortable folding-neckband headset design. It includes a low-profile removable microphone.
The bad: The Anycom BSH-100 Bluetooth stereo headset is susceptible to audio dropouts and interference, and it can't play very loud without distorting. There's also a delay between answering a cell phone and establishing an audio link with the headset. The box includes only one power-outlet charger. Plus, the transmitter module bulks up workout gear, and the headphones have a relatively short battery life.
The bottom line: The Anycom BSH-100 is comfortable and works OK for phone calls, but constant interference and high-volume distortion make the headphones unsuitable for music listening.

very satisfied with them for music
by dnank on May 12, 2006
Pros: no wires and great sound, controls on the headset
Cons: design seems delicate but has performed well so far
Summary: I disagree with the editor's review of these headphones. I have had them for 6 months and have found them to be great for music. I tested them with ...
Summary: I disagree with the editor's review of these headphones. I have had them for 6 months and have found them to be great for music. I tested them with my bluetooth phone and found they work with the mic, but I only use them for music now. I found that using them with my phone was more trouble than it was worth for everyday use. The range is very good too. They stay connected in most areas of my house. I receive no audio dropouts at all, except when I am syncing my bluetooth phone or PDA at the same time as using the headphones. Maybe this was the case with the reviewer or he had a weak bluetooth adapter. I also have found the battery life to be good. They will last at least two days of use and they charge quickly.

Excellent product!
by cabomix on September 26, 2009
Pros: Sound quality treble and bass are very good, connects to most a2dp bluetooth devices.
Cons: Doesn't compensate for lousy a2dp applications.
Summary: I have used this device with treo 650 (with 3rd party a2dp application), with Iphone 3G S, Mac Book Pro, XP Pro with Logitech dongle and software and I have ...
Summary: I have used this device with treo 650 (with 3rd party a2dp application), with Iphone 3G S, Mac Book Pro, XP Pro with Logitech dongle and software and I have had perfect sound every time except for old drivers on the Logitech dongle or when I used the M$ integrated software were I would get spotty sound some times. Other wise everywhere else sound was over average and range was in some cases 50 ft without noise or stutter.

it's good - for a short time
by kairat08 on May 12, 2008
Pros: as with any wireless device, you are not tied to the PC
Cons: stops functioning
Summary: My first BSH-100 stopped working in a couple of months. I sent it for replacement and the same thing happened to the second, in a couple of weeks. I do ...
Summary: My first BSH-100 stopped working in a couple of months. I sent it for replacement and the same thing happened to the second, in a couple of weeks. I do everything as required, the PC says "connected" and the headset flashes as it is supposed to. But there is no sound.

Don't buy if you have vista

Pros: look nice and functional
Cons: vista is broken

Summary: I want to like these, but vista has a crippled bluetooth stack and no a2dp support. I can't get them to work with vista as it ask's for a driver, and no drivers come with the headphones. I either have to buy something else or wait for a driver. Or consider downgrading my laptop to XP

Excellent sound, good battery life, great VoIP use
by capt36 on September 21, 2007
Pros: Fairly comfortable, good for hours of use at a time
Cons: No noise cancellation, long charge time.
Summary: I think the volume 'problem' is not true. The level can do damage, before it gets distorted. The sound quality is nice.
When I get a good VoIP connection, the ...Summary: I think the volume 'problem' is not true. The level can do damage, before it gets distorted. The sound quality is nice.
When I get a good VoIP connection, the other end is surprised at the excellent microphone quality. In a noisy area...not so well, mic is too sensitive to everything else. The removable mic is cool, unless you misplace it....
I did not get the range I had hoped for... I use an USB dongle. It often seems because of the WiFi units in the area, since I have gotten fair coverage at the beach. I have not used it with any cellphone. I bought it for the stereo operation capability. I lost the charger in Peru. So, I use the computer USB port to charge it. Anyway, I also have another 5V charger, with USB port. -
Middle of the road. Some good, some bad.
by pacohope on November 17, 2006
Pros: Pretty good for hands-free phone coversations. I really like the fit and feel, plus the fact that they tend to block other noise out.
Cons: Audio quality is adequate to poor most of the time. It crackles and has other audible artifacts of the Bluetooth audio compression.
Summary: As a hands-free phone headset, it's pretty good. I like it better than the Lt. Uhura earbuds that I see people wearing. I also use it with my MacBook ...
Summary: As a hands-free phone headset, it's pretty good. I like it better than the Lt. Uhura earbuds that I see people wearing. I also use it with my MacBook Pro when I do video conferencing (using iVisit, Skype, or iChat), and it can be both my microphone and my audio output in those situations. That's pretty good.
The usable bluetooth range is weak, just a few feet. The audio quality is much too poor to stream audio. My MacBook Pro can stream iTunes music to these guys, which is cool and all, but the quality is bad, and it crackles if I turn my head or lean back away from my laptop.
Use them for telephone and videoconferencing. Don't kid yourself about streaming audio. -
Good Sound, Clunky Music/Phone Interface
by manperez on August 26, 2006
Pros: No cables, great sound, fun for listening to music
Cons: Phone calls knock out the music connection, and after the call I've been left with a disconnected headset, requiring restarting my PPC
Summary: The headset sounds great, but the integration of the stereo sound and phone capabilities is not smooth nor automatic. Besides, not having a clear on/off light (or flashing blue ...
Summary: The headset sounds great, but the integration of the stereo sound and phone capabilities is not smooth nor automatic. Besides, not having a clear on/off light (or flashing blue light for the bluetooth connection) is a big minus... you don't know if you are connected or not until you need the headset...
