Ideal for iPod™ and MP3 players

The Sleek Audio SA6 earbuds are the first earbuds in the world that allow you to go from wired to wireless in just a few seconds.

To convert from wired to wireless, simply detach the earbuds/transducers from their wires and reattach them to the wireless accessory.

The Sleek Audio SA6 earbuds use Kleer™ technology to stream uncompressed, lossless, CD-quality (16-bit, 44.1 kHz) digital stereo music wirelessly.

Simply plug the Sleek Audio dongle/transmitter into your ipod™ or MP3 player, turn both wireless components on, and now you’re listening to your favorite music without the wires. Or simply plug the transmitter into your laptop, stereo system, or cell phone, any electronic device that accepts a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Range is up to 60 feet from the transmitter to the wireless earbuds and listening time is up to 10 hours. The batteries in the transmitter and accessory are easily recharged simultaneously with a USB recharger that comes included.

The Sleek Audio SA6 wireless earbuds are also capable of transmitting point to multipoint, meaning one transmitter can stream wireless music to up to four sets of Sleek Audio wireless earbuds.

And, the Sleek Audio earbuds can have their bass and high notes tweaked and configured separately by adding/replacing different audio components. In addition, the Sleek Audio earbuds use high quality transducers and audio components that result in high fidelity sound.

The Sleek Audio wireless earbuds are perfect for listening to high-fidelity music at work or at the gym or anyplace else where you don’t want to get tangled up in wires. In addition, this wireless bundle comes with a one year warranty from date of purchase.

Comes with an adapter plug in case your media/MP3 electronics don’t accept the 3.5 mm plug.

EOS Wireless Audio System

By Doug Aamoth

Short Version: The EOS wireless audio system is dead simple to set up and use, although a high price tag and so-so sound quality might keep some people away.

core_black

Overview and Features:

  • Base station with iPod dock transmits audio to wireless speakers up to 150 feet away
  • Features 3.5-inch auxiliary input for connecting to other music-playing devices
  • Speakers are 2.1 stereo — left and right channel, plus back-firing subwoofer
  • Uses proprietary 2.4GHz transmission to avoid interference
  • Core kit comes with base station and one wireless speaker for $249 – additional speakers are $129.99 each

Pros:

Setting up the EOS system couldn’t have been easier — if you can plug things into wall outlets, you’re 95% there. The speakers are designed to either plug directly into an outlet and “float” or you can detach the AC adapter from the back of the speaker if you want to move it away from the wall to, say, a bookshelf or countertop. I had everything set up and playing in about five minutes. It’s super easy.

Wireless audio transmission was absolutely interference-free, which is refreshing for a wireless system. The EOS speakers sounded pretty good, although it was still somewhat obvious that they were wireless. You’d probably be able to fool regular folk, though, as each speaker features both a left and right channel and a subwoofer, which is far more ambitious than most wireless speakers setups.

Cons:

First and foremost, the EOS system is a bit pricey. The kit I tested consisted of the core system – which consists of the base station and one speaker – plus three add-on speakers. Total out of pocket cost for that setup would be $249.99 plus $129.99 per extra speaker ($389.97), for a grand total of $639.96.

Granted, you can just buy the base system and add speakers as you go, but keep in mind that the system only supports up to four total wireless speakers, so you’d be somewhat limited in your coverage if you have a big house.

And the sound quality, while free of interference, is still a bit tinny on the high end and songs with deep bass end up sounding pretty muddy. I ended up testing some bass-heavy songs with an iPod Touch, with the EOS plugged into my computer, and with the EOS plugged into a SanDisk Sansa Clip and the speakers bottomed out and distorted with each device when trying to handle songs with low, low bass.

Recommendation:

If you’re not put off by the price tag and you’ll be listening to relatively tame music at moderate levels (or podcasts and other voice-only stuff), then the ease of use as far as setup and functionality are concerned make the EOS system worth a closer look.

Wireless Headphones… the Ultimate Convenience

Just recently I was on an airplane, watching the in flight movie and listening to the sound on my headphones. The person in the seat next to me needed to use the washroom so I stood up to move. Unfortunately, the wire caught on the arm of the seat and tore the earbud out of my ear. It was painful and when I sat back down and inspected my earbud I discovered that one of the wires had broken free. This isn’t the first time that headphone wires have become entangled and useless.

That’s why wireless headphones are so good. Many companies make wireless headphones for a variety of reasons. Check out some of the best names in headphone manufacturing, including Iawa, Sennheiser, Shure, and Koss to see if they create the type of wireless headphone that you want.

Wireless headphones have come a long way! I remember wireless headphones in the 80′s had a radio built right in (with a giant antenna) and too two batteries. As you can imagine, those ultra modern headphones looked more like something from a bad science fiction move!

Today, wireless headphones are barely noticeable on a person. If the person uses the earbud or canalbud style of headphones, you can’t even tell that they’re listening to music (although that might explain why they’re dancing around like maniacs).

Wireless headphones are great in the car. If you’re driving down the highway and you get a call on your cell phone, having a hands-free option so you can keep both hands on the steering wheel is idea. These are increasing in popularity and you can sometimes see people walking around with small metallic devices on their ear. These hook over the ear and a small microphone reaches to their cheek, which can pick up their conversation.

Wireless headphones are also useful in an office setting where a receptionist has to walk around (perhaps delivering the mail) while still being able to answer the phone.

Although many advancements are being made in the headphone industry, wireless headphones are going to be a fairly basic model at this point in one regard; they may not be completely appropriate for the audiophile just yet. For the person who loves to listen to music and tries to attain a near theatre quality sound, a circumaural headphone might be the best option. However, these powerful headphones require a power source (for example, from an amplifier) and may not receive enough power from batteries in the headphones themselves. This will change in the near future but it may not be there just yet for the true music aficionado.

For the rest of us, wireless headphones are just the right mix of convenience and quality to hear the sounds we want to hear.

One more thing: Remember to keep the volume down a little and save your hearing!
