Product Description

In late 2007 Sony released a series of Bluetooth-capable devices to the market. One of the five units - DR-BT22 Wireless Bluetooth Headphones - is featured in this report. With its included microphone, the DR-BT22 can be used to replace the small ear-bud type headsets now standard with most cell-phones or, with a suitable Bluetooth transmission mechanism, the headphones can also be used to wirelessly listen to other audio sources. The DR-BT22 uses Bluetooth 2.0 and Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) to connect the user to stereo audio sources. The folding unit features a power button, recharge port, volume knob, and FF/Rev right in the Headphones, the latter two using the AVRCP Bluetooth profile for remote control. The headset is powered by a 3.7V Li-Polymer battery delivering a claimed 11 hours of listening time.
