One thing that I have been missing in my travels and also while working is a wireless pair of headphones which would also work as hands-free system for taking those incoming calls. Ability to pair with both MP3 player (or: adapter) and a Nokia phone is thus a must. So far, it seems these are still first generation products and user experiences vary a lot. Some examples:
- Logitech Freepulse Wireless Headphones (no hands-free?) http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-FreePulse-Wireless-Headphones/dp/B000J3G2CS
- Motorola MOTOROKR S9 Bluetooth Active Headphones (these appear to get fairly ok reviews?) http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-MOTOROKR-Bluetooth-Headphones-Packaging/dp/B000NKCO5Q/
- Plantronics Pulsar 590E Ultimate Stereo Bluetooth Headset (these also appear to work, but no Bluetooth 2.0 support?) http://www.amazon.com/Plantronics-Ultimate-Bluetooth%C2%AE-Headset-Bluetooth/dp/B000HBPMVY/
- Sony DRBT50 Stereo Bluetooth Headset (getting mostly excellent reviews on audio, but not so for the hands-free functionality — plus they are a bit on the expensive side?) http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DRBT50-Stereo-Bluetooth-Headset/dp/B000PCCLPU/
- Jabra BT620s Bluetooth stereo headset (fairly ok? and these are rather cheap…) http://www.amazon.com/Jabra-BT620s-Bluetooth%C2%AE-headset-Bluetooth/dp/B000E7YSWK/
- Motorola HT820 Bluetooth Stereo Headset (mostly ok, also?) http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Bluetooth-Headset-Simultaneously-Packaging/dp/B000BBE9C8/
And there are probably many other ones that I do not know about. Difficult choice, still need to read a bit more on this one.
Edit: I got the Sony DR-BT50 in rather good, after-Christmas price from a local Sony Center store. But I am still missing the Bluetooth adapter to link into iPod. Working on that one…
