                                                  Bluetooth headsets and China’s industry trend

Now?the contact center is becoming smaller and smaller. Because of the improving technology and logic, the use of headsets in the call center has increase out of necessity. Without them, agents would be inefficient, susceptible to injury and unable to multitask. Sennheiser Communications, an advocate of safe acoustical technologies, uses many of these advancements in extreme environments from concert stages to contact centers all over the globe. Further, with the development of technology, the wireless headset appeared. The wireless headset follows and permits the users access to critical information faster and farther than ever before. Quickly, the wireless headset are becoming a new trend for both business and consumer communications. There are a number of solutions for wireless, including the DECT wireless headset, the 2.4GHz wireless headset and the Bluetooth headset, and they usually differ according to application and power-management. Here I give a stressful elaboration to the Bluetooth headset There is no doubt that a lot of users have heard about Bluetooth, and although this technology was designed originally for a much wider application, it has today become largely for voice transmission. The reason for this general exclusivity is because of the power/range settings of Bluetooth. Bluetooth uses 2.4 GHz RF, similar to WLAN or Wi-Fi; however, by default it is set for a very close proximity usage for power consumption benefits. This deficiency for a longer-range coverage made Bluetooth technology un-desirable for data transmission.

So why should we use Bluetooth headsets. In some states and countries, you are not allowed to hold a cell phone while driving, and the use of some type of headset is mandatory. Even if it is still legal to hold a cell phone and drive, it is safer to avoid this whenever possible. A simple wired headset is a satisfactory solution for many people, but it literally ties you to your cell phone. With a Bluetooth headset you can have your cell phone in your briefcase on your car's back seat, and still place and receive calls. And a Bluetooth headset can also be used to connect with other devices such as your computer. For example, if you're using your computer for teleconferencing, you can use your headset for this purpose, too. This can be very convenient, because it then enables you to use one headset simultaneously for cell phone calls and computer calls too - you don't have to be shuffling between one headset and the other, depending on the call that is coming in So, as nowadays, more and more mobile phones come equipped with Bluetooth, this technology has become a common wireless profile for wireless mobile phone headsets only. Through the years, the headset has evolved from an option to a requirement. Armed with exclusive technologies posed to take contact centers into the future

China’s Bluetooth headset industry In the global market of Bluetooth headset market, China plays a critical role, and is the leading supplier of Bluetooth headsets worldwide. Survey results shows that China occupied nearly 75 to 85 percent of global output on the line. And driven by increasing domestic and foreign demand, supply of Bluetooth headsets from the country is rising steeply.

Here are some key trends in China Bluetooth headset industry. 1. Although the competition is increasing rapidly, the prices of Bluetooth headset will remain stable generally.

2. Bluetooth 2.0 headsets will still dominate the market in the coming months, although Bluetooth 1.2 models will continue to be available. And the supply of Bluetooth 1.1 models will keep diminishing.

3. Mono headset models will continue to account for the bulk of manufacturers' output, but up-market stereo headset models will also gain more traction.

4. Product differentiation is seen most clearly in external design. The variety of available form factors now includes clip-on, ear-hook, over-thehead, behind-the-neck, in-ear and even sunglasses.

5. Interoperability with electronic A/V devices other than mobile handsets is also being underscored by manufacturers to piggyback on the growing global supply of variouselectronic A/V devices and digital audio content.
