Blueant's Bluetooth MP3 player headphones

Yeah, we realize what a rough amalgam these things are, but with Blueant's Bluetooth headphones you can not only rock out to whatever five or six super low bitrate songs you can fit in that 128MB internal memory, but also transmit said audio to a base station via Bluetooth, as well as use it in handsfree mode with your Bluetooth-enabled cellphone. That's nice, but we're still not laying down $230 US on 'em.

"you can not only rock out to whatever five or six super low bitrate songs you can fit in that 128MB internal memory"

How long are those 5 or 6 super low bitrate songs you can fit in there?? 128/5 = 25mb each?? :P

nice ufo.

the headphones looks pretty nice... 30+feet distance is impressive. behind the neck is the tren now... not sure about the silver. wonder what the sound quality comparison it to something like inner ear phones.

See, sarcasm detector is a useful invention.

This is one of those things that you wish they'd skip the feeble attempt at storage space and save some money by throwing in a secure digital slot instead.

forget the memory all together. just give me bluetooth headphones and a bluetooth player with some descent storage (multi GB range)

So this thing is supposed to be a hands free set for your phone as well? Too bad it is illegal to wear headphones while driving. If they were two piece headphones, one with a mic and one without, then it would get around this.

If you are listening to music and get a phone call, will it go straight to the phone?

I have owned these for about 3 months now. The work fairly well with my Z1010 (although the Z1010 doesn't have A2DP to stream music from the phone to the headset) and pick up most calls. If the phone rings while you're listening to music a la 128MB in the headset, you hear a little phone ring (by default), you hit a button and there's your call answered while your music is paused.

They also work well with the included USB Bluetooth dongle on my laptop. Sending files is slow but that was expected. The real beauty of this comes out when WinXP uses them as the sound card and you can have music playing through the on-board sound while having a chat through the Blueants via your fave online game.

I'd say if you had a phone that supported A2DP then they'd be worth it for sure.
