Aussie IT Pricing Inquiry Now Taking Submissions As you probably already know, the upcoming iPhone 3.0 software was upgraded with Stereo Bluetooth A2DP audio. That means you can pair it with a compatible device—like the stereo installed in this Toyota Venza.
Assalamualaikum, this is the JABRA HALO STEREO BLUETOOTH HEADSET, an esteemed product that lets you impress cleverly and wire-free!
Nokia recenrly asked for Bluetooth headset designs inspired by a certain song, this is what G. Smith presented after listening to Robot Rock a few dozen times. R. Kelly and Michael Jackson are also well-represented.
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.

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]
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…

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]
As the Second Coming of the JesusPhone looms over the horizon, the rumour pace starts to accelerate, with people digging in the dirt to try to get any clues about what’s awaiting in this incarnation of Apple’s mobile phone. StuffTV is now reporting that—just like Jason wanted—Nike+ will definitely come to the iPhone in a big way, while code detectives have found strings that hint at support of Bluetooth stereo headphones, GPS support, and other iPhone seeeeeecrets:
The major difference between the A820 and the A720 Walkmen is Bluetooth (and a 16GB flavour). Unfortunately, the Bluetooth was fairly crappy in the model I fussed with, unless you enjoy the odd rhythm of skipping music. I tried the player in my back jeans pocket, front jeans pocket and front jacket pocket, and got the same in-and-out jolting stream. (Even in line of sight w/ some Bluetooth speakers, range was 10 feet then totally dead.) The bits that made it to the headphones sounded alright though. UI is the same as the last gen of players, though I’m not really a fan of the button layout on this set.
Sony’s NWZ-A720, A820 and A820K Walkman players all look alike, but the 8-series has added Bluetooth to sweeten the deal. It’s quite similar to their NW-A829 and NW-A828 brothers that were announced in Japan, in fact. And yes, they have noise cancellation.
