Here at Club Overclocker, we like to keep up with the latest hardware for the PC enthusiast.  However sometimes its fun to take a closer look at something a little different like the Lubix NC1 Stereo Bluetooth Headset.  If you already have a nice phone, why not pair it with a good set of Bluetooth Headphones.  This unique stereo headset is designed to be worn around the neck when not in use.  Let's take a closer look at what these headphones have to offer!

The Lubix packaging is attractive and simple letting the product do most of the talking.  The major features are prominently displayed and the Bluetooth connectivity is clearly displayed.  The back of the box is devoted to describing the features in greater detail.  The features list is quite impressive but first lets take a look at the actual NC1.

The two separate halves of the NC1 pendant design measure 38 mm x 42 mm x 13 mm (1.49 x  1.65 x  .51 inches) and the whole setup weighs in at about 22g (~.77 ounces).  The two headphones are held together snugly by a magnet system.  On the top right you can see the status light.  The light shows both power and connectivity.

The NC1 can be purchased in the white and grey we will be reviewing today and in both Black and a metallic blue as seen above.

Features:

• Comfort and convenience. Since the Lubix NC1 is designed to be worn as a pendant when not in use, there’s no need to have a bulky device hanging on your ear at all times. When you want to make or take a call, it’s easy to snap apart the magnetically-attached halves of the headset and put them on. The lightweight, silicone-cushioned earpieces fit naturally and securely in your ears without needing awkward clips.
• Listen to music without missing one call. With support for Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and four built-in 3D sound modes, the Lubix NC1 headset makes a great pair of wireless headphones for listening to music in high-quality stereo, whether you use it with an MP3-capable phone, a Bluetooth-enabled music player, or your notebook PC. Thanks to multiple pairing support, you can take a call on your mobile phone while listening to music from another device—the headset beeps to notify you of the phone call. Finish the call, and the music resumes.
