![]() ![]() When your cell phone finds the device, it will show “Callpod Dragon” on the screen. The next step is to turn on the Bluetooth in your cell phone and have it search for devices (directions can be found in your cell phone’s user manual). When you power on the headset, it automatically goes into the discoverable state as you can easily see by the alternating red and blue lights flashing on the device. Most of the time you must power on the device and then press some series of buttons to get the device into what is called “discoverable” mode so the cell phone can find it. So the Dragon may not be for everyone.Īs with any Bluetooth headset, pairing the device with your cell phone is the first step that you must take before you can use the device. As is the case with all of these devices, the fit can, and does, vary with the individual. In some cases it flopped out of the ear during normal everyday movements. Yet a few people had trouble getting the device to stay in place. The adjustable ear loop and the padded ear bud made the Dragon comfortable for most of our testers. At first this took a little trial and error, but adjusting it properly became second nature for most of our testers. The ear piece must be properly adjusted so that the microphone is in the right place to pick up the voice. The soft ear bud is at a slight angle to fit comfortably into the ear. It can also slide up and down and can accommodate either left and right ear. This ear wrap can rotate 180 degrees around. The over-the-ear ear loop is made of metal and rubber and wraps around the ear. ![]() Weighing in at 0.9 oz (25.5 g), it is light enough to be worn for hours at a time.įigure 3: The Dragon V2 headset in black chrome.įigure 4 shows the back of the Dragon device itself. The model that we reviewed, as shown in Figure 3, is the black chrome. It comes in titanium silver, black chrome, and an all-black carbon fiber model. It is a circular disk shaped device that is reminiscent of a hockey puck. The Callpod Dragon V2 bucks both of these trends. Many of the newer Bluetooth headsets are tiny rectangular devices and many have a microphone that protrudes toward the mouth of the user. We wish that other manufacturers follow Callpod’s lead here by including a little carrying case when their products contain multiple small parts like this one.įigure 1: The Dragon V2 headset in the box. The pouch makes a good carrying case and provides a way to keep all the small components together. There is also an extra slightly larger ear tip and a sturdy black nylon pouch included. As shown in Figure 2, all of these components are included with the headset. The USB cable and the car charger can be used for charging on the go. The USB cable can also be attached to the wall-outlet charger for charging when a computer is not available. The USB cable can be hooked directly to the headset and to a computer for charging. There are three ways to charge the Dragon and all are included in the package. When we opened the box, we were presented with a pleasant surprise. These exciting features made us anxious to take a closer look.Īs shown in Figure 1, the Dragon V2’s come in a sturdy clear plastic cube. We found that it also has some unique features such as Bluetooth Class 1 certification, the ability to hook up to other Dragon V2’s to be used as walkie-talkies, and the ability to pair with more than one device at a time. So when the Callpod’s Dragon V2 headset arrived for our review, we were amazed that this headset was actually larger than most. Every time we look at Bluetooth headsets, they seem to be getting smaller and smaller. ![]()
