Yes, these headsets are stereo. Of course if you pair to a device that's putting out a mono signal then you will hear mono. We're also happy to tell you that these headsets have our finest pro audio grade earphones in them with a wide frequency response to improve and elevate your music listening experience with brilliant clarity.
HBT Series headsets will not pair to each other. The 'brains' of the intercom are kept in the smartphone. By using an app like Skype, Zello or Intercom for Android a connection can be made between multiple smartphones forming a work group. Some apps also have methods for connecting a smartphone work group to a land mobile radio (LMR) network.
HBT Series headsets take about six hours from a fully discharged battery state. The light will go red when the headset is plugged in and shut off when charging is complete.
The Aurora HBT Series headsets will pair to many portable radios
using standard protocols but are actually designed for use with smart devices
like smartphones. We are working on developing a PTT for radio headset. Let us
know if you want to be part of the field trial and what your interest level is
in such a product by emailing greenheadsets@davidclark.com.
At present
you'd have to send it in through our customer service repair. However, the 80
hours of talk time will last a whole work week so charging once a week or once
every other week means the battery will last several years before you have to
replace it. You can see the battery status either by looking at the light
inside the ear cup (red means low) or in the case of an iPhone by looking on
your phone status bar at the top of the screen.
Most, if not all, smartphones will automatically pause music or music apps when a phone call comes in. Since your headset is paired to the phone that means the music will pause when you answer the call from your headset.
These headsets are available for purchase direct from David Clark Company, Inc. or through any one of our authorized resellers as listed on our website. To purchase direct from David Clark Company, please visit our web store.
These
headsets were designed to be as simple as possible. Some BT headsets out there
have all these menus and buttons and we wanted ours to be a 'turn it on and go'
product. For example, it automatically re-pairs to your phone when you turn it
on. Also, smartphones have a volume control already so we kept it off the
headset.
One important thing we always keep in mind is maintaining communications in as safe a method as possible. The On/Off/Pairing button was moved inside the ear cup to prevent it accidentally being pressed when the headset is in use.
The all new Aurora Industrial Class Bluetooth headsets are a problem solver in nearly unlimited places. 80 hours of charge means they solve your problems for a whole work week without having to recharge them!
