iMuffs wireless headphones
Wi-Gear has released , a new set of wireless headphones designed specifically for the iPod. iMuffs use Bluetooth technology to provide wireless connectivity to an iPod and/or cellphone. When your Bluetooth phone rings, the iMuffs automatically pause your iPod and ring in the headphones, and let you talk through the integrated microphone. Users can "enjoy CD quality sound" up to 30' (10m) away thanks to the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Bluetooth 1.2. Intuitive on the each-piece of the iMuffs allow users to pause, change volume, skip tracks, and seek music. The iMuffs require a small receiver attached to the top of the iPod. The iMuffs offer over 12 hours of playtime via a rechargeable lithium polymer battery, according to the manufacturer. The device operates on a 2.4 GHz frequency.
