Yada Yada …

Close But No Meaningful Conversation

By Mike Lipshultz

Boy, this Bluetooth Headset from Yada Products is so close to being the greatest thing out there… But Close Does Not Make It!  I really wanted to like this headset.  One, it has a really cutie name, and two, it is the start of a great idea.

So, what did they get right?  Well first take a look at it at:

http://letsyada.com/products.php?product_id=1

This is a neat little Bluetooth cell phone headset that “Lives” in it’s charger base.  And the charger base can be mounted lots of places in your car, truck or?  It will even easily clip to the A/C vents.  When you place the headset back into the holder it starts to recharge.  And when ever the car is on the headset is on and ready to go.  Paring it to your phone is a snap.  You are in the car.  Phone rings, put Yada headset in your ear and start talking.

OK, so what is wrong with it?

Well the big thing was every time I tried to use this thing in anything but a sitting-upright position, the headset fell out of my ear.  I tried left and right ears.  It comes with three ear-adaptors.  I tied all three. It just seemed like it was bottom heavy and if I tilted my head to much… Out it fell.

And if that was not enough, I found at times I needed to disconnect it from the car’s power.  You see, when it has power and is in it’s cradle it is not only charging, but is also on.  You can only turn it off if you keep it out of the cradle.  So if you do not want to use it, you have to keep it out of the cradle.  But, if it is low on power and you need to charge it, you have to have it in the cradle.  And then it stays on!

Man… I wanted to kill this thing…….

To the folks at Yada…..  You are really close to having a great product… Please keep working on it and think about these things…..

Fix the falling out of the era thing.

Make it so you can keep it turned off in the charger.

Hay, you also make Bluetooth speaker phones…. Combine one with the Yada cradle.  Than bang!  You will have a killer deal. 

A customer would have a Bluetooth speaker phone and headset in one neat package.
