Windows Phone Thoughts: The Gadgeteer Reviews Bluetake's Stereo BT Headset

"It's hard to review a product that is a first in its class because there's nothing to compare it with, no standard of excellence that it needs to live up to. Such is the case with the Bluetake's new i-PHONO BT420EX stereo headphones, which are the first Bluetooth headphones on the market...Wired headphones can be cumbersome. I listen to my iPod daily, and there have been many instances where I've either gotten up out of my chair and not remembered that I had the headphones on, or I've managed to snag the wires on the arm of my chair. Usually when this happens, the headphones are pulled off my head, and I'm startled. Argh! Needless to say, I wasn't going to turn down an opportunity to review a set of wireless headphones when Bluetake contacted me about them."



Not only are these one of the first pairs of Bluetooth stereo headphones to hit the market, they are also bundled with an adapter that enables devices that don't have BT support (or that lack the necessary BT stereo audio profiles) to utilize them, much like Jabra's solution. I can't wait for Pocket PCs to natively support A2DP, which should enable seamless stereo listening... but in the meantime, you might want to check this review out.

Update: Geekzone's also posted a review here, and Mauricio shows off a iPAQ 4155 connected to the Bluetake dongle. 8)
