  • Headset and BT transmitter

    They sent both the Bluetooth transmitter and headset to evaluate.

  • Bluetooth transmitter for iPods without a BT radio

    The small Bluetooth transmitter is used for iPods that do not have an integrated Bluetooth radio. You simply plug this into the 30-pin connector and connect to the headset via Bluetooth.

  • Front of the headset retail box

    The OT Tags come in a plastic box and are available in both black and red colors.

  • Back of the retail box

    The back of the retail box shows how the OT Tags rest over your neck and connect together.

  • OT Tags wrapped in retail packaging

    The headset folds up to a small footprint. The cable connecting the two pieces is a durable braided wire that is about 32 inch in length.

  • The earbud end of the OT Tags

    The two earbud ends might appear a bit large, but the plastic is durable and lightweight so you really cannot even tell they are in your ears.

  • Durable instruction sheet

    The manual is a simple two-sided piece of durable plastic coated paper that clearly describes all the functions and operations of the headset.

  • Different earbud tips for your ear

    You will find a few options for earbud sizes and should find one that fits you well.

  • Included USB cable to charge the headset

    A small USB cable is included to charge up your headset, but unfortunately it is not microUSB like most phones today.

  • Right side volume controls

    One side of the right earbud has volume controls that can also be pressed longer to control track play.

  • Multi-function button and indicator light

    The large big foot icon on the right earbud is the multi-function button (MFB) that is used to control calls and music playback. The small light flashes blue or red at different times.

  • Removable earbud tips

    The earbud tips pop off so you can put the ones that fit you on the end.

  • Charging port

    There is a small port for charging up the headset with the included cable.

  • Cable and connector

    The wire connecting the earbuds is durable and does not get twisted like many other cables. There is also a small piece that can be used to connect the two cables together.
