Sony DR-BT50 And DR-BT21G Bluetooth Headphones

I’ve mentioned quite a few times that I don’t really see the point of Bluetooth headphones but trust Sony to come up with something I find even more pointless, a set of full-sized Bluetooth headphones.

I guess the DR-BT50 headphones will be useful for those who like to wander around the house listening to music, assuming anyone actually does that. Or are you actually expected to wear these outside? Either way, for those who fancy a pair, they appear to be Japan only at the moment but will probably reach the rest of the world eventually.

Technically, they support the A2DP, AVRCP, HFP and HSP protocols so should be able to pair with almost any Bluetooth device. They’ll last for around 17 hours on a single charge and weight around 180 grams.

Also announced is the slightly more useful DR-BT21G wrap-around earphones. These actually look quite nifty and again support all the latest Bluetooth protocols. Available in black or white, they will clock in at a fairly lightweight 63 grams.
