  • Motorola "Jay-Z" Bluetooth headphones hit the FCC, branches on the ugly tree

    Filed under: Motorola , Accessories Hmm, Hov, you may want to check the fine print on whatever deal you've got with Moto, because these Jay-Z-branded MOTOROKR S7-HD Bluetooth headset aren't exactly big pimpin' -- and compared to Dre's big ol' cans , they look downright sad. Of course, the FCC's legendarily nasty product photography isnt helping here, but even A2DP stereo support and the integrated mic can't salvage this mess -- was this really worth unretiring for?

  • Aliph Jawbone 2 exposed

    Filed under: Accessories So there are a couple of big complaints about Aliph's otherwise-lauded Jawbone noise canceling Bluetooth headset: one, it's rather porky, and two, the charge connector is about as reliable as a Comcast installation appointment. Hang tight, though, because help is on the way -- help in the form of the Jawbone 2. The new model just broke through the FCC's surly bonds in full visual glory, showing a headset that maintains the distinctive industrial design of the original while getting just a bit smaller and adopting a new connector that looks moderately less sketchy. The last thing we all want to do is blow another hundred on the next best headset, but if this means we can run a teleconference standing next to a freight train traveling 40 miles per hour and do it in style, count us in.

  • Bose goes wireless with Bluetooth kit for QuietComfort 3

    Filed under: Others , Accessories Bose already has a wired attachment for its QuietComfort 3 noise canceling headphones, but unsightly wires aren't really befitting a mobile warrior in the 21st century, now are they? Thanks to the FCC's loose lips we know that Bose is patching up that little indiscretion with the QuietComfort 3 Bluetooth Communications Kit that simply replaces the last mile of the kit between the module and the phone with a Bluetooth connection. Of course, that still leaves a cable running from the module up to the cans, which sticks you with a grand total of two distinct wires coming off your head -- not to mention a healthy sized boom running down to your piehole. We'd have preferred they worked on making this end wireless instead, but hey, what can you do? No word on pricing or a release date yet, since the FCC really isn't into that level of detail. Update: Our bad, it turns out Bose routes the music audio through the same cable as the phone audio, so you end up just a little less silly looking than we'd originally thought. Thanks, Jason!

  • Bluetooth handsfree kit mounts on steering wheel

    No matter how spiffy handsfree Bluetooth calling kits may get, they have one significant downfall when compared to factory-installed Bluetooth integration systems in mid- to- high-end cars - the benefit of steering wheel mounted controls and easily viewable call-information. The steering wheel mounted controls allow safe access to your phone’s calling features, while the easily viewable call-information ensures that your eyes won’t have to stray too far from the road. The FCC has just revealed Seecode’s Wheel Bluetooth kit and we’re liking it. Call-quality and ease of use has yet to be hashed out on the open-roads, but the Wheel Bluetooth kit looks like a pretty trick piece of kit. The handsfree unit mounts to the top of your steering wheel and features easily accessible “call” and “end” buttons as well as volume controls. The speakerphone handles the “handsfree” calling end of the deal, and the small screen keeps your eyes within peripheral range of the road as you scroll through your phonebook. Batteries will keep this thing running for an unknown time, but we would think that Seecode would include a cigarette-port power option. No word on pricing or availability. We’ll keep you updated.

  • 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.
