Philips rolls out SHD9100 wireless headphones

Philips trotted out its SHD9100 wireless headphones back at IFA in August (where we got to check 'em out first hand), but it looks like the company has just now made the cans available to the general public -- in the U.K., at least. According to Pocket-lint, those in the neighborhood should be able to pick them up now for £170, or about $345. Somewhat curiously, Pocket-lint is also reporting that the cans boast a 50-millimeter speaker driver, and not a 40-mm one as we had heard before, as well as a 30 meter range, as opposed to the 40 meters we last heard about. Otherwise, the phones look to be unchanged, with the same promised six hours of listening time and untold levels comfort and sound quality, which we're guessing you'll want to check out for yourself before dropping all those pounds.

except for bluetooth... wireless headphones suck ass REALLY bad.. even the 2GHz ones. i tried a few pair of the Sennheizer wireless and man did they suck.. all kinds of hum and just really crappy sound. i was really surprised just how crappy they are. unless these are bluetooth.. don't bother. get a pair of logitech bluetooth cordless they have a new model that doesn't break in the band connecting the cans like the 1st model... they use metal now and they even sound better than the 1st ones.

i must be fucking crazy. i thought these looked fucking sweet! i was always cautious about wireless keyboards/mouse and i still dont really think they are up to snuff yet.. i also dont think wifi is fast enough but maybe thats because im swamping my modem with torrent downloads of ahem linux distributions... high hopes for these.
