Sony DR-BT160AS Bluetooth Headphones: Buyable Now for $US130

1:45AM Mark Wilson | The Sony DR-BT160AS Bluetooth Active Style Headphones popped up on Giz a few months back, and they looked promising if a bit odd, streaming stereo A2DP audio while packing a rechargeable lithium ion battery and a microphone for calls. But we had no pricing or availability information. Now, through the magic of press releases, we know that the headphones are available now for “approximately $US130.” That’s not the most reassuring pricing announcement we’ve ever seen, but we’ll take what we can get.

Elac MicroSub, Rubik’s Cubes Pump Out the Jams

10:45PM Mark Wilson | Subwoofers celebrate a rich history of generic, monolithic designs. So it’s straight out rude of the Elac Microsub to subvert such heritage with its Rubik’s Cube styling. Low on vibration and Bluetooth equipped for wireless connection to your favourite A2DP streaming device, the Elac MicroSub is the best that dual music and puzzle cube fans will do without building a subwoofer themselves. Oh, and it’s also available in black and white, you know, as a hat tip to soul-less audio equipment everywhere. [Elac via ShinyShiny] More »

iPhone Gets Stereo Bluetooth A2DP Adaptor

3:40AM Jason Chen | The iPhone (both 2.5G and 3G) might not come with an A2DP Bluetooth in place, but you can easily add it on yourself with this Infinixx adaptor. It’s US$62, but works with the iPhone, iPod touch, iPod nano, iPod classic, iPod video, iPod colour and iPod mini, meaning you can basically turn any fairly recent iPod into a wireless stereo device. You can also pair your Bluetooth headset to the iPhone directly to answer calls, which isn’t supported through the dongle transmitter. Until Apple decides to put A2DP in the iPhone itself–and shorten the battery life even more–this is your only hope for wireless stereo music. AU: Motorola offer an A2DP dongle for iPods – not sure if it will work with the iPhone though… [Brando] More »

Sony’s DR-BT140QP Bluetooth Headset Mightn’t Make You Look Geeky

10:10PM Gizmodo US Edition | I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: Bluetooth headsets are not a good fashion statement, even Borg-like ones. But with these little earpieces from Sony, you might be able to get away with it and not look too geeky. The DR-BT140Qs double as normal earphones with a frequency response of 16Hz to 24kHz and have 30mm drivers, while the Bluetooth part is 2.0 and supports A2DP/AVRCP/HFP/HSP profiles. The built-in battery will last you about 12 hours, and they’re available in July for US$138.89 in silver, white, black and pink. [Akihabaranews] More »
