Stereo bluetooth headsets?
Authored by: 5chm31din6 on Feb 13, '04 01:07:41PM

Is there such a thing as Bluetooth stereo headphones that are for iTunes listening enjoyment (and not phone use)? I've been unable to find such a thing while searching with Google.com.

Bluetooth lacks the bandwidth to transmit good-quality stereo audio. The alternative is to put decompression hardware in the headphones themselves and just send the compressed audio at 128 kbps or whatever, but that's impractical right now due to size and weight issues. Headphones that work that way are big and bulky and uncomfortable.

Not that know of - would love one though!

Sony Ericsson sell a bluetooth MP3 player though that I believe has the headset profile. It connects to your phone using bluetooth and mutes the music so you can take the call (on the MP3 players headphones). I wonder if this could be paired to the mac? The headphones are wired to the MP3 player though so you may as well just use normal wired headset.

I'm not sure the sound quality over bluetooth would be very good though - probably why there are no available products.

I travel and fly a-lot!!! I've love it if there was a bluetooth stereo headset that would be wireless and I could listen to itunes on my laptop while flying and working - or just sitting at the damn airport waiting for the flight

Hey, when I'm on the same plane as you, do me a favor and switch off that bluetooth transmitter, will you?
