Wireless Cables has announced the release of its AirCable HiFi Headset, which lets users listen to streaming music from their PCs via a wireless Bluetooth USB "blade" that requires no setup or installation. The lightweight, cable-free and hands-free design provides maximum comfort for office workers, travelers, or home users who want to tune into their personal music or videos. In addition, the AirCable HiFi Headset serves double-duty as a convenient cell phone headset.

The attractive, sporty headset is truly a "plug-and-play" wireless accessory that is compatible with computers running Microsoft Windows 2000 XP, Apple Macintosh Mac OS, and Linux. Bluetooth software is embedded in the hardware, the USB blade. Users simply plug the blade into the USB port, and the device appears as a new speaker set on their desktops. The AirCable HiFi Headset gives users immediate access to music and videos, and even acts as a mobile phone headset with its built-in microphone. The device can also be set to receive incoming calls automatically or manually while the user is listening to music. The headset works as an audio headset with two new Samsung cell phones - Samsung SGH-i300 and Samsung SGH-D600 models - which support the MP3 audio player and Bluetooth A2DP. These innovative and versatile new mobile phones can be used as music players, complete with stereo.

Headsets have become a commonplace phenomenon in the corporate environment. In cubicle environments where phone conversations, hallway chat, and the clacking of keyboards can prove distracting, many corporate professionals wear headsets and listen to music while they work. Many workers claim that wearing a headset and listening to their favorite tunes helps their concentration and focus. Music has been an accepted part of Silicon Valley culture for many years. Some companies, like Yahoo, even provide their employees with headsets. The AirCable HiFi Headset provides office workers with all the benefits of increased productivity, entertainment, and freedom of movement - with a device that does require installation of Bluetooth software on the users' PCs.

The AirCable HiFi Headset, which normally retails for $199.00 is available for a limited time for $149.00.
