[QUOTE="blert, post: 1049037, member: 64702"] Totally in agreement with you. There are a few points to keep in mind though when searching for a new headset that can stream from bluetooth and do hands-free calling... Bluetooth suffers enough from being crippled with low audio quality. Making sure the hands free and bluetooth standards are current will go a long way to improve audio quality as these improvements usually come with codec improvements, of course your sending device also needs to be capable. Then passing that signal through a 16bit DAC only hurts it more, look for a 24bit DAC. Once you find a headunit that satisfies those two points you can be pretty sure it will have at least a 10band EQ. Everything else are options you may or may not need, fancy marketing terms, better hardware, better software, and better design. All things you may or may not want to drop a few more bucks on, everyone's outlook is different. [/QUOTE]
