Walt Mossberg reviews new Bluetooth-based wireless headphones for the iPod out from Logitech. Based on the text of the review, it looks like there could be some justification for waiting for an improved form factor and reduced cost for the headphones. All that said, I’m somewhat surprised to hear how good the sound quality on the headphones were in his tests. My own Bluetooth headset for my phone leaves something to be desired.
I’m wondering if I might just cave and pick up a apir right now. The past week has seen me pop the headphones for my iPod and iPod Shuffle out of my ears and accross the room on more than one very emberassing occasion. Several instances occured at the gym, generally when a low-hanging cord got caught by my knee as I attempted to maneuver myself into one of those torure devices they call excercise equipment. Another occured during an attempt at gardening and involved a ho and an errant wire.
Truth be told, I’m really very eager for the day when the iPods and other MP3 players come with Bluetooth capability built in, do not need any extender hardware and retain their svelt form factor while still supporting Bluetooth headphones.
