  • Jabra's BT3030 Bluetooth headset mimics dog tag

    Filed under: Peripherals , Others Fitting somewhere between the BT8010 and BT8040 , the BT8030 most definitely takes the crown for clever design. Jabra's latest Bluetooth headset, as you can glean from the image above, was crafted to mimic the traditional dog tag, and specifications wise, you'll find Bluetooth 2.0+EDR, HSP, HFP, A2DP and AVRCP support. Additionally, you'll find six buttons useful for sending / ending calls and controlling music playback, and yes, it will lower the volume when detecting an incoming call from your livid mother-in-law. Ditch that ear critter and pick up something slightly less appalling late next month for ¥8,980 ($90). 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.

  • Nokia's BH-903 and BH-902 Bluetooth headsets with OLED displays

    Filed under: Nokia , Accessories In addition to their new 500 GPS navigator , Nokia also announced a slew of new accessories this morning. On the headset front, they've loosed a Bluetooth pair: the new BH-903 (pictured above) and BH-902. The 23-gram BH-903 brings an OLED display and support for A2DP, AVRCP, PBAP, HFP and HSP Bluetooth profiles. It'll be good for 15 hours of talk/music when it hits globally in Q4 for €200/$274. The 8-hour BH-902 then, brings the same display without the dongle and stereo remote capabilities for an all-in-one, on-the-ear solution weighing 18.2-grams. Just be sure to take advantage of the neckstrap and clip to make that display useful ya hear? The BH-902 ships in Q4 as well for an estimated €115/$157 (pre-tax) -- pictured after the break.

  • FCC outs Motorola O ROKR Pro Bluetooth headphone sunglasses

    Does anyone actually wear these things? The FCC has outed the Motorola O ROKR Pro Bluetooth sunglasses on their web-site . Seriously, the Motorola O ROKR Pro Bluetooth headphone sunglasses look similar to the Oakley Thumps there were such a fantastic flop. Motorola’s joint venture with Oakley to develop sunglasses with built-in headphones seems to be more of a whimsical exercise in design than a real seller. But, to the O ROKR’s credit, the awkward MP3 player that bulged out from the side of the Oakley Thump is been replaced with a more sleek Bluetooth module. The O ROKR Pro’s are designed to work with a Bluetooth connection to stream music from your handset, and supports AVRCP for controlling your music from the sunglasses. The shades also double as a wireless headset, so that’s a definite plus. Up-time is claimed to be 5 hours after a full charge. Pricing and availability is not yet known. We’ll keep you updated. Read on for more pics.

  • Kyocera Bluetooth Music Gateway streams jams from your mobile

    Filed under: Multimedia , Peripherals , Kyocera Kyocera's Bluetooth Music Gateway most definitely isn't the first of its kind , but the dashing musical liaison is indeed adding a hint of differentiation to the streaming Bluetooth middleman category. Encased in a sleek black / metallic gray enclosure "about the size of a deck of playing cards," the three-ounce BT-enabled device receives streaming tunes via your A2DP-capable cellphone, DAP , or PMP , and then channels the audio to your home stereo via a pair of stereo RCA cables. Furthermore, users with an AVRCP device can enjoy volume / track control right from their mobile, removing the need for a separate remote control and furthering its overall appeal -- and before the non-Bluetooth users go crying foul, Kyocera's also offering up an optional $34.99 adapter that converts any 3.5-millimeter stereo jack into a Bluetooth transmitter. The Bluetooth Music Gateway should be landing sometime in the April timeframe, and you'll be looking at $99.99 with the Wireless Audio Adapter thrown in, or $79.99 without.
