Does it cancel the irritating noise made by Zune fanbois?
^^^
douche
Can someone please post some pictures of the new Tritton headsets which they showed in CES please. I have been waiting for the new ones before I make a purchase for my 360!! know this is not the place to write this but I couldnt find any and please feel free to downgrade my comment.
Sweet. Now if only my iPod Video had built-in Bluetooth...
Noise cancellation is great when you're trying to hear that conversation in a crowded public area or something. However, do we really want people walking around with headphones on that cancel out noises like automobiles or emergency warning sirens?
Yes we do. It gives hilarious opportunities for next years Darwin Awards!!!
True enough about the Darwin awards.
In hindsight, I guess I assumed that a bluetooth headset was for portable devices, because am/was not aware that there might be bluetooth accessories for home devices. If there are, noise cancellation makes much more sense. Of course, again, you risk the inability to hear cries for help or emergency warnings, or such, all the same. I know I like a good "undisturbed session" when I am playing my favorite MMO, but it's not always practical.
I bet they give those to all of their customer service reps.
Finally we start to see some good bluetooth headphones (maybe!). The samsung last week, and now this. Well, we'll see when they actually come out.
Did anyone spot the power input? Is it mini-USB or will I be forced to lug around some proprietary goofy wall-wart?
To the people who spew forth blabbery about being able to hear sirens and wailing screams of dying people. You seem to be forgetting that deaf people seem to do fine in the same environments.
Or maybe we should just ban deaf people from any environment that you think would need sound?
The headphones will come with a 3.5mm bluetooth adapter, so you can plug it into your MP3 player, CD player (if you got one), home stereo and even your notebook/desktop if they are not BT enabled.
