The idea has been there ever since Bluetooth was introduced. Of all the possibilities that a short range personal wireless network can fulfill, this has been dreamed about and discussed in forums the most. So, what exactly is this highly anticipated product (assuming you did not see the title)? Why it is none other than a set of Bluetooth headphones. I am not talking about using a single ear Bluetooth cellphone headset to listen to music. I am talking about a set of stereo headphones, through the power of Bluetooth wireless, that work with any audio device.</p> <p align="center"><a href="atruereview/iphono/01.jpg"><img src="atruereview/iphono/01th.jpg" width="194" height="250" border="0" alt="Bluetake i-PHONO Bluetooth Hi-Fi Sports Headphone Kit"></a><br> <font size="-1">Click on image for larger picture</font> </p> <p>Leave it to Bluetake, a company which specializes in only Bluetooth products, to release the first Bluetooth headphones to the public, the i-PHONO Bluetooth Hi-Fi Sports Headphone Kit.
