In my never-ending quest to eliminate all wires, cords and other unsightly appendages from my life, I’m pleased to hear that Creative has revealed a new set of high-quality wireless headphones, designed to transmit audio using Bluetooth technology.

Creative SE2300 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones

Creative’s SE2300 Bluetooth Wireless Headphones can work from up to 10 meters away from the transmitter. They feature high-fidelity neodymium drivers, with a frequency response range of 20 Hz ~ 20 kHz. The headphones come with a small transmitter which plugs into your media player, laptop or other audio source via a 1.5mm mini stereo plug, but you can also use them to pair directly with other Bluetooth enabled devices such as mobile phones and PDAs. The headphones have a rechargeable battery quoted to run for appx. 6 to 8 hours (YMMV), on a 3 hour charge. If you don’t want to carry a charger, you can also charge them using a USB port.

The headphones are listed at $129.99 USD on Creative’s North American website, but just $99.99 USD on their Singapore site, so hopefully the price will come down in the US to match that.
