Callpod Dragon V2 Headset Review

Other Features

The Dragon V2 has most of the other features commonly found in other headsets. You have the ability to answer and end calls with the press of a button. You can also reject calls, mute calls, adjust the volume, and conference call. If you cell phone supports voice commands, you can also place calls by saying the party’s name as it is programmed into your cell phone.

One unique feature found in the Dragon is its ability to pair with other Dragon V2 headsets in a walkie-talkie mode. Since we only had one headset, we were unable to try this mode. Yet, given the quality of this device, we can be fairly sure that it works well. When in the walkie-talkie mode, you can easily switch back to the cell phone mode to take a call. Whether from car to car or around the shop, the factory, the store, or the office, this feature is sure to be appealing to many users. Also, note that after the cost of the headsets, the walkie-talkie feature is free. You don’t have to pay monthly fees or airtime as you do with cell phones that have a walkie-talkie feature.

Another useful feature of the Dragon V2 is that you can pair the headset with two other devices at the same time. The most obvious use for this would be to pair it with your cell phone and your Bluetooth-enabled computer. Then you can listen to Internet radio or iTunes music or talk on Skype call through the headset. If a cell phone call comes in, you simply press the multifunction button to answer the call. When the call is over the Dragon device will automatically switch back to the music or audio that you were listening to before the call.

Dragon also give you the ability to do a firmware is upgrade when it is available by hooking your Dragon up to your PC or Mac. This enables you to upgrade without any additional cost when new features are added.
