  • Jabra BT3030 Bluetooth headset dog tags from CTIA 2008 Las Vegas

    You're either going to love it or hate it. The Jabra BT3030 dog-tag style Bluetooth necklace isn't going to be everyone's cup of tea. But, if you like the dog-tag look and need an A2DP Bluetooth-compatible mobile phone, you'll want to check out the Jabra BT3030 Bluetooth headsets.

  • RIM's BlackBerry Remote Stereo Gateway on sale for $80

    Filed under: RIM , Accessories BlackBerry owners looking to wirelessly connect to a home stereo or portable speakers can finally pick up that Remote Stereo Gateway we first saw sneaking through the FCC at the end of last month, for $80 from Tessco. The matchbook-size dongle receives a Bluetooth signal from your compatible 'Berry, and then pushes the audio out a standard 1/8-inch jack. According to the retail description, the device is also capable of streaming tunes from your stereo to a pair of Bluetooth headphones, which would mean that we are in fact looking at an A2DP profile here and thus likely compatibility with non-BlackBerry devices. Anyone wanna do us a solid and test this out with a WinMo phone? [Via The Boy Genius Report ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Venturi Mini uses lots of RF to get music from phone to car stereo

    Filed under: Multimedia , Accessories We've seen more efficient ways of piping tunes from phones to stereos, but admittedly, they usually involve a wire or two. The Venturi Mini, now being offered by Verizon Wireless, performs the wondrous feat of receiving music streamed to it via stereo Bluetooth and relaying it on to your car's head unit by way of FM transmitter, making the whole process completely wire-free. "But wait," as they say in the industry, "that's not all." The cigarette lighter socket-powered device doubles as a handsfree that cleverly pauses your music when the time comes to take a call. Grab the multitalented wonder now for $129.99 -- and if you live in Washington or Oregon , the sooner, the better. [Via MobileBurn ] Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Motorola sets ears on fire with S9-HD Bluetooth stereo headset

    Filed under: Motorola , Accessories Motorola launched a slick headset today as a follow up to the original MOTOACTV S9 we saw this time last year. Form looks unchanged on this outing, but Moto has opted to add high-definition sound with SRS WOW HD and fixed the issue we had with background noise by improving the earbuds. Battery life is touted as 6 hours of play time on a single charge -- but of course your mileage will vary -- and weighs in at a measly one ounce. If you've been looking to upgrade your current sweat damaged S9 set, this may well be a worthy upgrade for you. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Iqua BH-702 Bluetooth pendant headset rolls through FCC

    Filed under: Peripherals , Others , Accessories Iqua , maker of fine Bluetooth equipment everywhere, has hopped into the Bluetooth-headset-as-weird-jewellery business with the BH-702. Featuring A2DP for your wireless stereo listening enjoyment, 9 hours talk, 7 hours music, and 150 hours standby time, all on a 2 hour charge. The BH-702 hangs about your neck while in use, and while we dig the convenience, we often find that this configuration puts the mic. too far from your mouth and increases noise as it shuffles about on your clothing. No word on pricing or availability yet, but we expect now that this leg of the journey is done Iqua may just see fit to announce the thing. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Plantronics Voyager 855 switches from headset to headphones with ease

    Filed under: Accessories Rarely does an accessory hit the market that really seems to fill a gap in the already overcrowded Bluetooth headset space, yet Plantronics may have managed to pull off just such a feat with its uber-low-profile, transforming Voyager 855 headset-***-headphones. Besides the sliding boom, this model might look like a regular over the ear unit at first glance, but a detachable cord with an earbud at the end allows the 855 to perform double-duty as A2DP-compliant headphones -- great for those of us trying to downsize from the normally-bulky earpieces offered by iLuv , Bluetake , and friends. You're also getting the all-critical AVRCP profile here as well, so the only real downside seems to be the price: sounds like it'll be retailing for around $200 when it hits later this month, although we've already seen street prices ranging from $80 to $150.

  • GPS, music, power: Nokia busts out slew of accessories

    Filed under: Nokia , Accessories Ear candy aside, Nokia showed a bunch of other goodies today to adorn that special handset in your life, too. First up, the LD-4W GPS Module adds a little style -- "Nseries style," sez Nokia -- to the previously released LD-3W , offering 10 hours of operation on a single charge; it'll be available for about €125 ($170) and promises compatibility with a "wide range" of Nokia hardware. Next, the MD-7W stereo Bluetooth speakers let you share the tuneage with those around you, willingly or not; they're also designed with the Nseries in mind but should work with any device supporting A2DP when they hit for €130 (about $177). Last but certainly not least, the DC-1 Power Pack acknowledges that media-centric phones aren't always the easiest on the battery, offering juice to one or two phones with 2mm Nokia power ports simultaneously. Look for this one to run about €105 ($143). All of 'em should be available "globally" in the fourth quarter of the year. Read | Permalink | Email this | Linking Blogs | Comments

  • Apple iPhone does A2DP Bluetooth music streaming - kind of

Wipe the dust off those fancy Bluetooth headphones of yours and grab and Icombi Bluetooth adapter for that iPhone. Apparently, the Icombi Bluetooth adapter will endow your iPhone with the sorely missing A2DP functionality that Apple forgot to include.
