Nokia goes retro with new wired headsets

by Chris Ziegler posted Dec 6th 2007 @ 2:42PM

Perhaps the sleeper of this week's announcements out of Nokia's aptly named Nokia World event, the WH-600 and WH-700 headsets kick it old school by eschewing Bluetooth for good, old-fashioned, reliable wires. They've got all the bases covered, too: the WH-600 goes on the ear while the WH-700 is a traditional bud style, offering three different cup sizes in the box. Both can be used for music and calls alike -- obviously -- and include 3.5mm jack adapters for use with any ol' music player you like. Get them both starting in January; €65 (about $96) for the WH-600 and €50 (about $74) for the buds.

One billion Bluetooth devices and growing

It seems like now-a-days, almost every new piece of electronics is being introduced with some type of Bluetooth compatibility. From cellphones, headsets, cars and gaming devices, it is more of a standard now than ever. This being said, the influx of devices with Bluetooth technology supported has helped these devices reach over 1 billion sold. The Bluetooth SIG isn't stopping there; they are getting more aggressive in the marketplace by adding functionality to home entertainment and medical devices to name a few. This being said, the influx of devices with Bluetooth technology supported has helped these devices reach over 1 billion sold (of which Engadget editors account for a decent percentage, we suspect).

Motorola adds headsets to match new lineup

Do you think it's a fashion faux pas to mix and match phones and accessories? Motorola does, and in the vein of the original RAZR headsets, they're pumping out a couple new ones to match their fresh MOTOKRZR and MOTORIZR phones. The H601 and H800 complement the new models, respectively -- no interesting or exciting new features to report, though the H800 does have a slide-out tip in a nod to its RIZR heritage. And don't you dare let Moto catch you pairing an H601 with anything but a KRZR, alright?
