It’s so….. tempting…

Posted by jepoyzter under Tech & Gadgets

Quite looking for my next gadget, but not that too pricey. Since, I am quite saving for a trip this year. Hopefully.

Thus, this is what I am looking for, for a very long time. A bluetooth dongle I can attached on my iPod or any PMD (portable music device) for wireless audio streaming. Now that they are already available and waiting for me to snag one. Should I buy it or not?

Concept is quite simple have your bluetooth dongle capable of audio streaming connected to your iPod and have your bluetooth headphones and presto. Music on the move.

Quite pricey though for my budget. I was expecting around $3000 NT is enough budget for both the dongle and the bluetooth earphones. Though my current Sony in-ear headphones are still working. But having a bluetooth headphones are much more convenient specially when you don’t like having wires all over your body.

So here are my selections:

Let start with the headphones:

1. Sony DR-BT30Q Stereo Bluetooth Headset

This clip-on style headset also features an integrated microphone for hands-free mobile phone use and a remote that controls all the basic functions of your Bluetooth device. The built-in rechargeable batteries provide up to 11 hours of music listening and talk time, plus up to 100 hours of standby on a full charge. The DR-BT30Q/S is compact, lightweight and comes with a retractable cord for optimal convenience and portability.

It is quite like my Panasonic heads I bought 2 years ago, and now laid rest in peace. I love retractable cords easy to organize. No need for wrapping it over your device, or no need for wire organizer coz it already came with it. Plus a microphone col. This means I can also use it on my phone.

2. Sony DR-BT10CX Stereo Bluetooth Headset

These earbud style headphones also allow you to stream music with Bluetooth-enabled A2DP devices. Enjoy up to 11 hours of music listening and talk time, plus up to 100 hours of standby on a full charge¹. The DR-BT10CX is compact, lightweight and comes with a clip-on transmitter for hands-free communication.

This one is much more fancy that the first one. Same capabilities, but lacks something to organize the strings that you put on your neck. Hmmm…. but this one is cheaper.

3. Sony TMR-BT10 Bluetooth® Adaptor/Portable Transmitter

Listen to your MP3 player and other non-Bluetooth-enabled gear wirelessly with the TMR-BT10 portable transmitter. This universal adaptor can add stereo Bluetooth streaming functionality to any music device with a stereo mini plug input. The TMR-BT10 has a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery that lets you listen to wireless music entertainment for up to 11 hours on a single charge.

Yeah, thats it portability. Now they are speaking my language. LOVE LOVE LOVE it. That facts that it only transmit audio, but still it will work for me. I am just worried about the battery. Like most battery even though they are rechargeable, how long will it last? Are the batteries replaceable? hmmmm.

4. Sony TMR-BT8IP Wireless Transmitter for iPod

This convenient transmitter lets you enjoy your iPod® music wirelessly on a compatible Bluetooth® sound system. It doesn’t use a battery, and draws minimal power from the iPod. Basic functions can be controlled from a compatible Bluetooth headset with AVRCP compatibility. The compact size and simple operation make the TMR-BT8IP transmitter a must-have accessory for true music lovers.

This one is for iPod use only. Now thats one problem. But what I like about it is it doesn’t need any battery to be used. Like plug and play bluetooth dongle for computer. It draws its power from your device it self, and note with minimal power consumption.

So guys help me out here…. Though I already have very own selection. Maybe you can change my mind. Thanks in advance.
