Samsung Mobile Unveils A Trio Of New Bluetooth Headsets

Tweet

Bluetooth headsets may not be the hottest mobile accessory going, but they do have their place in the world — namely for hands free use such as in the car. That said, as someone who spends a fair amount of time running or biking near cars, I can say that driving and using a phone is a huge pet peeve and often a danger to pedestrians and other drivers. But while I shall end my rant with that, I will pass on the details of the three new Bluetooth headsets that Samsung has announced.

The models include the HM1610, the HM3600 and the Modus 6450. Unfortunately though, while these have all been officially announced, Samsung has yet to announced the price and/or release date for any of them. That said, lets cover the specs and highlights for each model.
