In-ear Bluetooth headphones are most likely to become a hit when they come down from their way-too-highly-priced throne, but until then those of us with a little extra cash lying around can take the hit and throw down the cash. BigPictureBigSound.com has a review of one such set of Bluetooth headphones. This particular review is of the Etymotic Research ety8 in-ear Bluetooth headphones. Overall the reviewer was very impressed although there were a couple hiccups.

The Etymotic ety8 Bluetooth headphones were found to have great sound quality, and you can tell the reviewer was very impressed. There were some subtlties missed on the high and low end, but overall the sound was great.

The range on the Etymotic ety8’s was alright, but didn’t quite reach the advertised 10 meter mark without haveing random dropouts or hiccups. Also, you have to like in-ear headphones before you take the plunge. Besides that, it seems that the Etymotic ety8 Bluetooth headphones are a great choice for the early adopter.

Many of you are probably looking to accessorize with your future iPhone purchase, and it looks like you will have all the add-ons you’ll want, including a new wireless Bluetooth printer from Zink. About the size of your standard Video iPod, the Zink (Zero-INK) printer will print photos without utilizing an ink jet print head. Think Polaroid camera in digital form. It will also include a USB port for printing the old-fashioned way. The Zink printer is going to set you back around $100 and prints will break down to around 20-25 cents each.

Belkin_Bluetooth_iPod_Adapter.jpg

Belkin has just announced an innovative little device that will allow you to play your music wirelessly through any iPod docking station. What makes the Belkin Bluetooth Adapter for iPod different is that you actually use your iPod as the control rather than a remote. This allows you to access all the features of your iPod instead of the dumbed down remotes you usually find. Simply place the Bluetooth stereo dock adapter into your dock and snap the Bluetooth iPod adapter into your iPod and off you go. The receiving device is charged through the docking station and your iPod powers the adapter. The Belkin Bluetooth Adapter for iPod will be available in March for $129.

Want to turn your iPod into a makeshift iPhone? Check out the MyBlu from Mavizen. When connected to your iPod (and phone via bluetooth), the MyBlu will display incoming calls on the screen. A built-in microphone on the dongle allows you to receive calls, and even gives you FM tuner capabilities.

The MyBlu will run around $77 U.S., but it appears it will only be available overseas for now. Here’s hoping…
