What's the big downside to bluetooth anyway? 14-16 hours is a decent amount of playback time and A2DP sounds as good as mp3. Also, I doubt they'll be including Kleer transmitters in phones anytime soon, so this makes it a moot point for me. ]]>Jan 10th 2007 3:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/
What stereo Bluetooth earphones are giving 14-16 hours? Most typical numbers I read about are more like 4 or 6 or maybe 8. Can you provide any links with units >10 hours (actual playtime in a review prefered). I believe one of the reasons these have extend listening time is because they use a very low power transmitter, thus the very short range of 5-6 feet. The Bluetooth spec calls for 30 feet which would require a good deal more power, with concomitant reduction is battery life.]]>Jan 10th 2007 12:32PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/Jan 10th 2007 4:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/Jan 10th 2007 8:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/
Five or six feet of range is a joke and pathetic at best; needs to be ten times that, at least. I need to be able to have these connected to my laptop and move freely around a room. But if they can work out the range issue, then I'm all for these the moment they hit the street.

Bring 'em on!]]>Jan 10th 2007 8:34AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/

When do they come out and where can I go get me some?]]>Jan 10th 2007 11:05AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/Jan 10th 2007 11:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/Jan 10th 2007 2:57PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/

My friend has the Motorola s805 Headphones and they are rated at up to 17 hours. They generally last him about 14-15 hours depending on exact usage. His have superior battery life because they are considerably larger headphones.

I use mine almost entirely with a USB Bluetooth adapter. The standard type of self-powered bluetooth transmitter generally lasts less than 10 hours and has inferior quality. By using a USB Adapter the only digital to analog conversion occurs in the headphones, not multiple times with the external transmitter. ]]>Jan 16th 2007 4:11PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/http://www.engadget.com/2007/01/10/hands-on-with-the-rca-jet-stream-high-quality-truly-wireless-c/
