Other than the initial learning curve there is one other issue I ran into. Bluetooth is notoriously finicky technology. Sometimes items refuse to pair or connect until the fifth try. Other times the connection seems to wane for no apparent reason. Neither of these was an issue with the SIX. This was. There were times when static would crackle for no apparent reason. I would not be moving or shifting the position of the headset or phone and yet, there it was. This didn’t happen constantly but it was there at times. There DID seem to be less of it as I used the headset more and more but I would be remiss were I not to mention it in this review.

In all, the Sound iD Bluetooth headset it a good option if you are in the market for a small headset that does not have a boom or an over-the-ear design, has good voice quality, and packs in some nifty technology thanks to an accompanying app. You can learn more and order yours here on the Sound iD website.

I have had the opportunity to review each generation of Sound iD’s Bluetooth headsets. The first was a small but excellent device and with each generation the devices have gotten better and better. Now the company is back with their Sound iD SIX Series headset and it looks great.

Here’s what the company has to say about it:

Sound ID redefines the Bluetooth experience with the new SIX. Destined to be your go-to headset, the SIX boasts a sleek look and more than one new audio trick, resulting in a true marriage of outstanding sound, true comfort and advanced technology.

With innovative features such as VoiceMenu (which enhances traditional voice recognition) the Clear Carbon Design with Smart Touch (controls volume, voicemail and more with one touch), the Sound ID SIX is a premium Bluetooth headset sure to exceed every road warrior’s expectations. You can even transform the SIX into a truly personalized audio device with the free EarPrint 3.0 app for iPhone, BlackBerry and Android devices. For additional details, please visit www.soundid.com.

The new headset features a Clear Carbon Design that is “smaller, lighter, and more comfortable than ever before”. With a simple touch of the headset the “Smart Touch Surface” now lets you control volume, mute, voice mail and voice dial, as well as auto dial favorite numbers. Of course, the headset features A2DP so you can access media from smartphones, tablets or Bluetooth-enabled PCs and with the free EarPrint App you can control almost every aspect of the headset so you can truly make it your own.

Weight: 8.6 grams, Dimension: 48 x 15.4 x 9.5 mm.

SOUND ID LAUNCHES THE NEW “SOUND ID SIX” BLUETOOTH HEADSET – AVAILABLE NOW

Smarter, sleeker and better audio than its predecessors, the Sound ID SIX redefines the Bluetooth headset experience

PALO ALTO, California, October 24, 2011 – Sound ID, an innovator in combining knowledge of the human ear with the latest wireless technology to enhance audio performance, today unveiled the new SIX Bluetooth Headset, available now at Soundid.com. The contemporary design and innovative functionality make the SIX the most advanced headset on the market today. The features can be customized and extended with the unique EarPrint 3.0 app (free), giving users the ability to personalize the headset’s sound settings conveniently from their smart phone.

The SIX takes Sound ID’s focus on comfort, background noise management and superior audio to the next level with a trio of new features. Improving standard voice recognition, the patent-pending VoiceMenu provides quick, discrete response to commands – regardless of background noise. ActiveConnect enables connection to any two Bluetooth A2DP devices simultaneously. And, the Smart Touch Surface provides a simple touch to access to volume, voicemail, voice dial and more..

“At Sound ID, we’re dedicated to creating Bluetooth ear pieces that offer superior audio, all day comfort and advanced features. The SIX captures this spirit with its customization capabilities and use of Carbon Fiber in the industrial design,” said Michael Jones, President and CEO of Sound ID. “Thanks to features like VoiceMenu, ActiveConnect and the EarPrint app, the SIX delivers a one-of-a-kind experience that is all about a user’s individual sound preference and feature needs.”

The Functionality

In addition to VoiceMenu, ActiveConnect and Clear Carbon Smart Touch Surface, the SIX offers a wide range of easy-to-use features, including:

• 3X NoiseNavigation offers three microphones, a fine scale noise-canceling algorithm and advanced sound processing to help eliminate background noise. 
• Scientifically engineered RealComfort^TM EarLoops 2.0 offer more comfort and a design that better channels sound for enhanced listening and extended wear.
• An On/Off Switch helps conserve battery life and avoid accidental pocket-dialing. 
• Pass Thru Mode amplifies the surrounding environment between calls, allowing the sounds to pass through the headset as if the user was not wearing it.

About EarPrint 3.0

EarPrint 3.0 is the latest release of a free app developed by Sound ID to maximize their Bluetooth headset experience. The app is available for today’s most popular mobile phones, including iPhones, BlackBerry models and Android devices. When combined, the SIX and EarPrint 3.0 enable users to:

• Use VoiceMenu to discretely activate five features upon command, such as Voicemail, Voice Dial, Last Number Redial, and a variety of supported third-party apps like Bing411, Google Voice and Facebook-friendly apps such as Voice-on-the-Go, Vlingo and Jott.
• SMS Text-to-Speech for Android devices keeps users connected via text even when they need to be hands-free.
• Use Personal Sound to customize and save listening preferences – while on a call or listening to music, simply drag the ID icon across the smart phone screen to change sound quality or enhance listening levels.
• Keep an eye on the Visual Battery Indicator to stay informed of remaining battery life. 
• Locate a missing headset by pressing the “Find Me” icon on a smartphone and the headset will start emitting a beeping sound to locate it.

The Sound ID SIX is available now at www.soundid.com for $129.99. All units come with a small, energy efficient Universal AC travel charger (100-240 VAC), USB charging cable, three sizes of RealComfort EarLoops and an Ear Hook for an alternative over-the-ear wearing option.

On October 14^th Apple launched the highly anticipated iPhone 4S and its flagship feature, Siri.  Siri allows users to use their voice to send messages, schedule meetings, place phone calls, set reminders and more.  It understands natural speech and asks you questions if it doesn’t understand you.  This alone is a big step forward in voice recognition technology.  Most of the devices on the market that employ voice recognition force you remember keywords or commands.  Siri takes a conversational approach.

Siri works with the Sound ID 510 Bluetooth headset in several ways!  You can use Siri to listen to a song, Google an idea or thought, check the weather or set an alarm.  With your Sound ID 510 Bluetooth headset, press and hold the call button to bring up Siri.  The mic will light up and Siri will begin to listen to you!  When engaged in dialogue with Siri using the 510, simply tap the Siri Microphone icon on the iPhone 4S and Siri will listen to you again.  Siri will then confirm your commands or requests by reading the test or messages back to you before it creates them.  This is helpful when you are using your Sound ID 510 while driving and can’t see your iPhone 4S.

Siri is in beta and will continue to improve over time.  It has the ability to learn your accent and different characteristics of your voice to work better over time.  An example of this is when you want to place a phone call to your sister.  The first time you use Siri you can say, “Call my sister.”  Siri will respond by asking, “What is your sister’s name?” and you can respond by saying her name.  Since your sister’s name is already in your contacts, Siri will understand that contact as your sister.  The next time you place a call by just asking “Call my sister” Siri knows who you want to call!

This is some pretty cool stuff!  To learn more and order your Sound ID 510 Bluetooth headset with the EarPrint App for iPhone 4S, visit Sound ID for more info!  For more info on Siri check out Apple’s Siri FAQ page.
