Pretty cool! For this kind of headset I was waiting for! But why Sweden!? Isn't it a Korean company!? ;-) Wouldn't be Swedish headsets made of wood and you would need to build it together by your own with much of pain - bwt...!? :P Kidding... ;-)
No, really - pretty cool. I'm sure this kind of headsets will boost the Bluetooth market!

Sorry for being stupid, but why would a headset need 128MB of flash memory ?

$50 for a Bluetooth usb dongle and you're on your way. Sounds potentially cool, I think that I'd like to see it.

The memory is to store music. It is also a portable music player. Bluetooth is used to transfer the files from PC.
It talks about being used with a phone. Is there a bluetooth phone on the market with stereo output?
It would be cool if there was a stereo adapter so i could use it with my HiFi system.

It has a built in mp3-player :D

on the downside, the range on the site states less than 10 m in open! spaces. i thought bluetooth had a better range. it would be good then to connect to a portable device, but not a the belkin dongle.
on the plus side, in response to one of the above questions, i'm sure it comes with its own Ikea tool.

Actually for most current BT devices the range is much less than 10m, sometimes as little as 1-2m, and the quality on the headsets is pretty average at best. I certainly wouldn't use BT for playing music.

Personally, I think this device is great. I just wonder if it'll play nice with the Microsoft BT transceiver on the desktop. I wouldn't want to have multiple BT dongles attached to my PC just to have the different devices I like supported!
One thing I don't think will work is with my iPaq. The OpenBrain website mentions the A2DP profile, and I don't believe the 3x70's support that profile. :evil:
Also, it doesn't seem to suppor uncompressed audio, but that's not a huge deal. I don't think the current Bluetooth bandwidth can support 44 kHz stereo audio, but I haven't done the math :)
Anyone seen pricing on it?

10 M = 30 feet
Bluetooth has always touted 30 feet as the range - it's a Personal Area Network right? :-) I know things like BT LAN access points can change this equation, but PAN is always "local".
Hopefully this will get the ball rolling for a wider variety.
Something I've wanted ever since I heard of Bluetooth is a headphone or earbud for one ear only that would be relatively inconspicuous so I can listen to news and books on my ipaq - stereo headphones are unnecessary for that.
Anybody heard of anything along these lines?

this device is so cool... is it heavy? how big is the battery capacity by the way ?
:roll:

Well - class 3 BT = 1 meter, class 2 BT = 10 meter and class 1 BT = 100 meters. If you have a class 1 dongle with a very sensitive antenna you may still be able to get 100m out of your class 2 device.

cyj,
I've been using the Ericsson HBH series of BT handsfree earphones just for this purpose. It works with the BT dongle on my laptop and I think the loox supports the headset profile. dunno about the ipaq though.

The 5450 supports the headset profile, but the 3x70 series do not

Just curious, what's the diff between the Wireless Stereo Headset and the AOD Player model? The former is over-the-head (or behind-the-neck?) type and the latter is two separate ear-mounted modules?
It's also nice to see this coming out of Korea (second global CDMA stronghold) -- you could see from the AOD Player description the focus on CDMA2000 2.5G use. Will this mean BT support in cellphones coming for the US CDMA networks?? I thought Qualcomm has had chipset support for the longest time but I still don't see the result today...
Also please do tell more about this BT profile for stereo music listening...

I think that you are correct. I am curious if itis truly stereo sound.
Thanks Rene & SweetPete on the Ericsson HBH note.
Unfortunately I've got the ipaq 3835 and I guess I'll have to put up with this earbud and cord that always gets tangled...

How many mixed items can you run over a Bluetooth connection?
I guess each device has a device(Hardware) ID and a specific ID or one you can program. I guess each item shows up in the hardware list when it's available.
Is there a good tech page to look at?

Bluetooth wireless specification operate in the unlicensed, 2.4 GHz radio spectrum ensuring communication compatibility worldwide. These radios use a spread spectrum, frequency hopping, full-duplex signal at up to 1600 hops/sec. The signal hops among 79 frequencies at 1 MHz intervals to give a high degree of interference immunity. Up to seven simultaneous connections can established and maintained.
Bluetooth.com works.
7 simultaneous connections.
