THE PRODUCT
The Gennum nXZEN noise-reduction Bluetooth headset
THE CLAIM
Two microphones inside the headset zero in on the speaker´s voice while canceling out background noise.
THE TEST
I left myself a voicemail from Grand Central Station during rush hour.
THE REAL DEAL
Although I could hear some background noise, it was minimal, making it easy to hear the “Get to work!” message I´d left.
BUY IT?
Yes, if you often find yourself making calls from what sounds like a trading floor. But $160 is steep, and the earpiece is uncomfortable.
