Logitech releases stereo Bluetooth headphones for Apple iPod

Logitech says users will be able to plug in the wireless adapter, set their iPod down, and listen to their songs without any wires, up to 300 feet (10m).

The Logitech Wireless Headphones for iPod feature integrated iPod controls on the side of the headphones, so people can adjust the volume as well as track forward, track backward, play and pause their playlists.

The headphones use Bluetooth 1.2 which includes adaptive frequency hopping for interference-free, clear digital audio. The headphones are fitted with 40 mm full-range neodymium drivers.

The set weighs a 3.2 ounces and the wireless adapter, which connects to the iPod through the headphone jack, weighs just over 1 ounce.

The headphones work with any iPod with dock connector on its base, which includes nearly all models sold in the past two years. The headphones and the adapter are paired at the factory, so people can instantly begin using the product with their iPod directly out-of-the-box. The headphones are powered by rechargeable batteries, which play up to eight hours of music per charge. The product can be fully recharged in 2.5 hours. Both the adapter and the headphones can recharge simultaneously with the provided AC adapter, which features two connectors.

The Logitech Wireless Headphones for iPod will be available in retail stores and online, including Apple stores, in July throughout the USA and Europe. The suggested retail price for the product is US$149.99 in the USA.
