The DR-BT100CX supports USB charging, comes with three sizes of silicon ear bud and gives you up to eight hours of playback time. The DR-BT101 bluetooth headphone has a larger battery capacity to let you enjoy up to twelve hours of playback time. Both models support A2DP, AVRCP, HFP and HSP Bluetooth profiles. They are available in europe now.
These headphones are available at Best Buy stores right now. I got myself a pair and have mixed feelings about them. On the one hand, I love that there are no cords. The inherent flaw with bluetooth headphones is that the sound quality is sub-par. The audio is very static-y but everything else seems to work fine. I paired the headphones with my computer to make sure that the problem wasn’t my phone and the computer had the same sub-par audio quality. The question is: Is the decrease in audio quality worth the fact that you don’t have to worry about any wires? You decide.
Today I bought the DR-BT101 at the local Apple Store for use with my iPod Touch 32GB. It paired up right away with the Touch and the music sounds just fine and I don’t notice any static or noise at all. Now I would like to figure out how to get them to work with Skype on the iPod Touch.
