Helium Digital HDBT-700 Bluetooth headphones
Categories: NewsPosted on Thursday, September 28, 2006 by Ian S
Bluetooth headphones certainly seem to be the gadget of the moment and obviously not wanting to miss out Helium Digital have announced the HDBT-700 Bluetooth headphones.
Following the example set by other headphone manufacturers, the HDBT-700’s use a behind-the-head headband and have the most useful controls embedded in the earpiece to allow control over your player.
However, one unusual selling point is an embedded microphone allowing the headphones to be used as a handsfree headset for a cell phone without the need for an external microphone.
The HDT-700 will retail at around $80 and it’s sister product the HDT-750, which comes with a Bluetooth dongle, will cost around $120.

I purchased the Helium Digital HDBT-750 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones with Transmitter to use these with my 5G 30GB iPod Video. They work very well. Sound quality is good thanks to the Bluetooth V2.0 Stereo signal. However, if you want driving bass, these headphones are not for you. They are super light weight, very comfortable for long periods of time. The HDBT-750’s work through the transmitter connected to the 3.5mm jack on the iPod. A 3.5mm audio jack on any audio device will only support volume control, not skip, fast forward, pause, stop or other functions. The freedom from wires is great. Distance is good depending on the environment. I have used them up to 40 ft away from iPod/transmitter with no solid walls in between. Perfect for use around the house as long as you do get too many walls or any floors between you and the iPod/transmitter. Battery life offers no limitations for a day of listening at the office between phone calls. I’m very pleased with my purchase. Jeff at Helium Digital is very helpful. Headphones were ordered on Thursday morning and were shipped from Canada to Tennessee. They arrived the following Tuesday. $129.99 is in Canadian currency. U.S. Cost will run about $111.00.

Thanks for the review Sid. To be honest, I’m not that sold on the benefits of wireless earphones but it’s obvious you like them.
