Bluetooth: What’s hot and what’s not?

Wireless Bluetooth devices are popping up everywhere, but can consumers be persuaded to wear them?

When a Danish King called Bluetooth united warring Scandinavian territories during the Middle Ages, he probably never dreamt his legacy would be a universal wireless technology.

Some 1000 years later, his name has become synonymous with the little wireless headsets that let people chat hands-free on their mobiles while walking or driving.

Look Ma…No Wires with Apple’s IPhone 3.0 Software Update

So everyone who has an iPhone I’m sure knows by now that Apple has released the iPhone 3.0 today. But you don’t really talk about the iPhone you say, you’re more headphones. True, but with this new update which includes support for for Bluetooth’s Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP), it means you can now stream your music to wireless headphones via Bluetooth!

This lets you stream stereo audio over Bluetooth to other devices, such as wireless headphones, a speaker system, or a car stereo. Pairing an iPhone 3G with an A2DP speaker system and a set of A2DP headphones is simple, and the devices stay paired even when the phone goes in and out of range. However, you have to control volume on the audio device; the iPhone’s volume buttons are disabled when streaming audio over Bluetooth.

Ten of the Best… Noise-Canceling Headphones

Round-up When we organized a round-up of noise-isolating headphones recently, we were able to get hold of a couple of models that cost as little as £10. However, noise-cancelling headphones are a different kettle of fish. Rather than simply plugging up your ear canal to prevent external noise from getting through, noise-cancelling headphones are packed with sophisticated electronics – including microphones that allow them to analyse background noise and then generate their own sound waves that are designed to counter and nullify that background noise.…

The product delivers great-sounding conversations and tunes, a comfy fit against the ears, and a light feel on the noggin.

Wireless Audio: What Could Be More Kleer® Than Sennheiser®?

Here’s a plug for the iPod: it’s incredibly durable!  I know that because my earphone wires are always catching on something and, as I unknowingly pull away from that something, my iPod is pulled out of my pocket and smacking the tile floor or the concrete pavement. And, in the last four weeks, a wired mike and an audio/mike headset attached to my computer were totalled when my dog got caught in the wires and, confused, ran away, pulling the wires right out of the devices!

I need a wireless headset!

I was super impressed when I checked out two Sennheiser wireless headphones the other day in one of the audeo equipment stores. Wow! I’ve always been faithful to Sony headphones, but I have to say that I was an audeo novice until I hit the Sennheisers.
