Sony's SRS-BTM30 Bluetooth speaker now FCC approved
Remember all those stereo Bluetooth devices Sony unloaded a few months back? Yeah, those. Well, if you're the type who thinks that streaming music over Bluetooth is a good time then you'll be more than stoked to find the FCC seal of approval now affixed to Sony's 6-watt, SRS-BTM30 Bluetooth speakers. These speakers support the A2DP profile of course and will pump audio for 15-hours off 3x AA alkalines according to the user manual posted on the FCC site. And yeah, you can control the volume wirelessly as well just as long as your audio source supports the AVRCP profile. But you already knew that, right? Otherwise, go ahead and anchor yourself to the AC wall jack and the line-out from your fave audio device, the BTM30 likes it both ways. Already loosed in Japan so with any luck, they'll be showing up Stateside on the quick for right around $100.
Sony goes ape with A2DP stereo Bluetooth accessories
In addition to their new S-series Walkmans announced earlier, Sony also unleashed a whole suite of Bluetooth 2.0 accessories all supporting the A2DP profile for untethered stereo audio. Starting top-left and moving clockwise, we find the WLA-NWB1 Bluetooth adapter exclusively for the new NW-S700/S600 series players and on sale in Japan November 18th for ¥7,000/$59. With that installed, you can listen in from either the DR-BT20NX (¥20,000/$167) neck strap system or DR-NT30Q (¥13,000/$109) mini-cans each with microphone and support for a wide range of profiles for use with cellphones, handsfree kit, or any portable audio player. What's more, you can control any of those devices supporting Bluetooth's AVRCP profile. Also announced are the HWS-BTA2W (¥8,000/$67) transmitter/receiver and TMR-BT10 (¥8,000/$67) transmitter for enabling just about any device with Bluetooth stereo audio. Rounding things out is the big ol' 6-watt, SRS-BTM30 Bluetooth speaker (¥14,000/$117) which includes a stereo mini-jack with up to 15 hours of continuous playback off battery. These will all hit Japan October 21st. And when they land in the US, we might even proclaim that A2DP has indeed, arrived. See all the accessories in their biggie pic glory after the break.[Via Impress]
