The Sound ID 510 is the first Bluetooth headset designed to work with its own iPhone app and I will be looking at it in detail for today’s review.

Provided By: SOUND ID

Price: $129.99

Closer Look:

The Sound ID 510 comes in a black cardboard box with a clear plastic cover, through this clear plastic window the Sound ID 510 is easily visualable.

The included accessories – Quick Start Guide, Universal AC travel charger, short USB charging cable, clip holster carrying case, three sizes of RealComfort Ear-loops and an Ear Hook.

The Sound ID 510 has a piano black finish on the outside face of the headset. Just below or above this button depending on the orientation of the headset is the on/off toggle switch. These are only two physical buttons on the new headset. The volume is controlled via a touchpad which is the section in front of the main button on the outer face of the device.

Opposite the on/off switch is a stripe that extends across the side of the Sound ID 510 where the three microphones are located. At the rear is a micro USB connector for charging and updating the headset’s firmware via computer. Finally we see that earpiece located on the backside of the headset. A slight twist of the EarLoop changes the headset’s orientation from left to right position.

A welcome new addition is the clip-holster designed to keep the Sound ID 510 both safe when not in use end and allowing it to be stored in an easily found location. The clip can attach to a visor in one’s car or where ever else you frequently use a Bluetooth headset. Sound ID includes three sizes of RealComfort EarLoops or if you prefer an over the Ear Hook with a foam earpiece cover.

The AC charger is a small piano black cube which is slightly larger than the iPhone AC adapter.

Conclusion:

The Sound ID 510 is moving closer to the perfect Bluetooth headset. It is feature rich, well designed and stylish. The Touch Sensor control is a welcome addition especially in a capacitive touch screen world. The on/off switch is another great addition and avoids the press and hold style of other Bluetooth headset models.

Since the headset is firmware upgradeable there will be new features added as time goes on.

Overall I am quite impressed with the Sound ID 510 and think it makes a great pairing with any of the new smart phones.
