Product Description

Introduced to the market at the 2008 Consumer Electronics Show (CES), Acoustic Research’s ARWH1 Mini-Bridge is one of the first Bluetooth 2.0 headsets with a display. The display found on the ARWH1 Mini-Bridge uses a new MEMS technology from Qualcomm called Mirasol. Qualcomm, a major supplier of cellular baseband processors, is now in the display business. In addition to the display, other features of the Mini-Bridge include the ability to listen to music and make and receive calls by simply toggling back and fourth between the two mediums. The Mini-Bridge is also capable of pairing two Bluetooth 2.0 devices. At just 19.8 grams, the device is lightweight and clips easily on a lapel. The ARWH1 is powered by an internal, 3.7V, 140mAh, Li-Polymer battery which is recharged through the mini-USB port.
