7. Conclusion

 

Globlsat's Entertainment pack comprises a Bluetooth Dongle, a Bluetooth Headset and a Bluetooth Audio Gateway. All three devices performed very well and we were generally satisfied with them. The included documentation is not what we would expect from Globalsat, so inexperienced users may have difficulties (connection problems with PDAs). After searching around the net, we found work arounds for most of our issues, but we feel Globalsat should have addressed this beforehand.

The BTA-806 (BT Dongle) is small, has a very good connection manager and worked without problems with all tested BT enabled devices. The BTH-820 is a BT Headset that works with all BT enabled devices (PDAs, Mobile phones, BT Gateways). Its installation with PDAs require some additional steps, since Win2003SE doesn't fully support it. Lastly, the BTA-830 is a BT gateway that will unleash the power of portable music devices like iPods, providing wireless audio transmission.

While we haven't tested similar devices from other manufacturers, we were more than satisfied from the overall performance. The retail price won't trouble you either, since the BTH-820/BTA-830 package costs around US$88.
