Bluetake has a new pair of Bluetooth stereo headphones which come with a Bluetooth adapter so you can use it
with virtually any MP3 player (or Walkman or portable CD player, for that matter). Since it requires a dongle, the
BT420 isn't hugely better than using regular wireless headphones, but it does give you the option of using it in
conjunction with your Bluetooth-enabled cellphone so that when you get a call the music is automatically paused so you
can answer. Anyway, until Bluetooth shows up in the iPod itself, these headphone will have to do.
One caveat: the battery life on the headphones is listed at only six hours, so your headphones will probably die
before your player does.

... has anyone used this before? can they let me know how well it worked... i get up from my desk all the time and I would like to keep the music rocking.
Also, for phone calls this seems amazing... what is the realistic range?
Any thoughts on having a battery right next to your brain for hours?

Hi J
The standard Bluetooth is 10 meter, so that is propably the range for this gadget too.

IMHO is a radiotransmitter (handheld cellphone - or a bluetooth device) against your brain a bigger problem than a batteri.
I heve tried for some time to use a headset instead of an handhold cellphone - My reason is both for convenience and for the thought of keeping the transmitter a litle away from my brain.
I have not yet made my mind about bluetooth headset as they have a transmitter next to your head....

Hey how about this... Instead of buying a pricy set of headphones and an mp3 player. Just by a CamJam from http://www.tanderellas.com It is the lightest and most user friendly wireless mp3 headset on the market. How much more portable can you get then having your mp3 player that holds 16CDs built into a headset that only weighs 1.6 ozs. You have to check this out. http://www.tanderellas.com Remember CamJam. Wear your music on your head!
