Etymotic Research ety8 In-the-Ear Bluetooth Earphones and 8-Mate Adapter for iPod


Pros: A lightweight pair of Bluetooth 2.0 stereo earphones with the first-ever ability to fit inside your ear canals rather than on top of or around your ears. Includes adapter for connection to iPod; earphones work reliably at distances of 30 feet away. Aggregate sound quality is close to company’s award-winning ER-4P wired earphones, a major step forward for wireless technology, and though battery life varies by iPod model, it’s comparable to other wireless systems out there.

Cons: Very expensive relative to other iPod Bluetooth wireless headsets already in the marketplace. Wireless transceiver boxes look awkward in your ears, and possibly your iPod. Otherwise impressive audio quality is reduced by clicking interference in bass of some songs. Cable microphonics noticeable during movement.
