TDK Wireless Headphones Don’t Trust Bluetooth One Bit

Handsets like the iPhone may be capable of transmitting stereo Bluetooth, but as we’ve seen, it’s tough to find a great stereo Bluetooth headset. So TDK just hands us a dongle instead.

Their new TH-WR700 utilises any 3.5mm headphone port to transmit music for up to 10 metres, and thanks to Kleer wireless tech rather than Bluetooth, TDK claims a much higher fidelity – up to 40dB less noise in the signal, which would be more than noticeable.

The TH-WR700 goes on sale in Japan starting this March for about $US200, but there’s no word on a release elsewhere at this time. [TDK via CrunchGear]
