Sound ID has announced a new Bluetooth headset, the HD300. With NoiseNavigation, providing pristine sound through the automatic reduction of wind and background noise, the HD300's acoustic innovations are evenly matched by its narrow form and chic, high-gloss piano black finish. The Sound ID HD300 Bluetooth Headset offers several unique technology features, including:
- NoiseNavigation – A proprietary development, NoiseNavigation optimizes speech intelligibility at both ends of the conversation, as dual microphones isolate speech and DSP algorithms automatically reduce wind and background nose.
- PersonalSound – HD300 users can choose from three listening modes – tuned to the most common hearing preferences – further enhancing speech clarity without raising the volume.
- Automatic Volume Control – This feature eliminates the need for constant volume adjustment in variable noise situations such as driving.

Created for extended wear, the lightweight HD300 includes scientifically designed RealComfort EarLoops. Available in three sizes, the EarLoops provide a secure and comfortable fit and are engineered to better channel sound into the ear for enhanced listening. Users will also appreciate the headset's compatibility with standard micro USB chargers, which come with many of today's popular mobile phones and may eliminate the need to carry multiple chargers.

Sound ID has also created a free downloadable application that extends the HD300's functionality and enables users to control the headset via their mobile phone. The application includes a sound level meter to monitor surrounding noise levels, volume control and a battery life indicator, among other features.

HD300 Specifications:
- Weight: 8 grams (0.28 ounces);
- Dimensions: 53.5 x 15.5 x 7.5 millimeters (2.1 x 0.6 x 0.3 inches);
- Battery Life: Up to 6 hours talk time, 200 hours (8 days) standby;
- Latest Bluetooth Technology: Bluetooth version 2.1+EDR with eSCO improves the transmission sound quality and is compatible with earlier versions of Bluetooth.

The Sound ID HD300 is expected to be available in Q3 2008. It will come with a Universal AC charger (100-240 VAC), three sizes of RealComfort EarLoops and an Ear Hook for an alternative over-the-ear wearing option.
