Bluetooth headset BT-03I
This award-winning headset supports A2DP hands free, headset profile that supports listening to music or talking on a call, while enjoying high quality sound. Other notable features include if you are listening to music and there is an incoming call, the Bluetooth headset BT-03I receives it and mutes the music automatically, so you can take the call with no interruptions. To make your voice clearer, the Genius BT-03I uses the CSR CvC (Clear Voice capture) function. Except for the Bluetooth function, the control interface is through the touch panel on the right side. The Genius BT-03I is the first headset in the world to come with a capacitance touch panel with touch slide for control. You can adjust the volume by simply sliding the bar using the touch sensor to answer a phone call. When talking, the phone icon will be illuminated so others understand your current status. The transparent look and curve shape is a new concept for a rear band headset and the silicon ear hook can fit any ear angle and shape.

Since that time, the total show has increased by a factor 10. This year's CES show will again take place in Las Vegas, as usual, where visitors are welcomed from January 7 to January 10. The CES event appears to become more important every year. It is the first major world event where more than 2,200 CEA (Consumer Electronics Association) members are able to display their involvement in relation to development, manufacturing, distribution and integration of consumer electronic products such as audio, photo, video, mobile communication, and accessories.
