Geekanoids: Gear4 BluPhones announced

Gear4 BluPhones announced - wireless goodness
Friday, March 09, 2007

Today GEAR4 announced their BluPhones, a stunningly designed set of wireless stereo headphones for Bluetooth-enabled mobile phones, laptops and MP3 players. They weigh just 26g and are one of the lightest and smallest Bluetooth stereo headsets in the world, ensuring maximum comfort and portability. But they don’t just look great, Bluphones promise to provide superb rich sound for your music too – all for under £50.

When used with an A2DP-enabled mobile phone, the headphones alert you to incoming calls and automatically pause your tunes, allowing you to answer the call via a small and sleek multi-function button on the headset. After you have finished the call, your tunes will automatically restart. The BluPhones receive and play Bluetooth stereo streaming audio data direct from mobile phones, laptops or music players that support the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) for advanced stereo. They also work with many non-A2DP Bluetooth devices in mono.

The BluPhones should be perfect for any occasion, whether it be the daily commute on the train, getting fit at the gym or running a marathon. You can be sure that you can listen to your music or answer calls in comfort, knowing that they are securely attached to you ears.

Weighs only 26 grams
Works as a hands-free headset for any Bluetooth mobile phone
5 hour music playing / talk time
60 hours standby time
