Bluetooth Headphones

A Variety Of Products For A Few Different Uses…

Bluetooth Phone Headsets: With traffic laws cracking down on cell phones and driving, and not to mention it is just safer to use a hands-free device, bluetooth headsets are gaining popularity. These Bluetooth headsets are for BT compatible phones. These are extremely light-weight, pretty affordable and can be used up to 30 feet.

Bluetooth Stereo Headphones: These are placed over or in both ears just like stereo headphones we have all experienced, and are capable of wireless enjoyment usually up to 30 feet. The good brands have recharging stations for the headphones, are light-weight, have great sound and come with receivers that work with most home audio
equipment.

Bluetooth stereo/phone hybrid headphones: One such product, the “iMuffs” from Wi-Gear are wireless headphones made especially for the iPod but with a twist. They use Bluetooth technology to connect wirelessly to both your iPod and your Bluetooth enabled phone, so you can use them as a wireless headset for the cell phone. When you receive a call, the iMuffs pause the music on the iPod, ring in the headphones and allow you to speak in the integrated microphone.

If you are looking for high range of motion from the “home” audio device, then you should check out some models of wireless stereo heaphones. These can range from cheap infra-red (line of sight usage) models to high end, radio frequency models with noise cancelling up to 300 feet range!
