Logitech Releases Next Generation Bluetooth Stereo Headphones
Posted by Ekkie Tepsupornchai in "HARDWARE" @ 12:00 PM
"Integrated volume controls and Bass Boost mode let you take control of your music, while advanced Bluetooth® 2.0 with Enhanced Data Rate wireless technology ensures clear, interference-free audio with up to 33 ft. range. Extended life rechargeable batteries provide up to six hours of play time. The high carbon spring-steel headband is lightweight yet rugged, and the soft-touch comfort rings provide a secure fit. The FreePulse Wireless headphones are compatible with most audio players, and include custom-fit iPod adapters—just charge, plug, and play!"
The original press release can be found here. The unit is being aimed at the MP3 player/iPod market as it comes with a separate Bluetooth stereo plug transmitter; thus, it's unclear if you'll be able to operate this directly with a BT-enabled device without the transmitter device. The MSRP for these headsets is $99.99 USD (seemingly standard price for Bluetooth stereo headsets nowadays). Personally, I like the look of these headphones more than the majority of other Bluetooth headphones and I love the Logitech brand... BUT I'm not too crazy about having the Logitech logo so clearly stamped on both sides of my ears! Your thoughts?
