BlackBerry Premium Multimedia Headset Review: RIM's Best Headphones Yet
RIM's new Premium Multimedia Headset, boasting in-ear, noise-blocking gels, intuitive multimedia and volume controls and impressive audio quality, will please BlackBerry purists in need of hybrid headphones. However, its steep price tag and lack of compatibility options may be a turn off.
Conclusion: Great for BlackBerry Purists, Not So Much for the Rest of Us
BlackBerry loyalists and CrackBerry addicts who want to employ their smartphones with products built specifically for those devices, or folks who want to keep it "pure" by using only RIM-branded products, will find a friend in the new BlackBerry Premium Multimedia Headset, as it's by far RIM's best pair of hybrid headphones to date.
But if you want to employ one quality headset along with a variety of devices, some of which aren't BlackBerrys, you'll want to steer clear of the new multimedia headset, as it's meant for use specifically with BlackBerry devices running handheld OS v4.6 or higher (read: BlackBerry Pearl Flip 8220, Curve 8900, Bold 9000 and Storm 95xx).
