Freedom with Helium Digital Bluetooth Headphones |
 |
As someone who wears headphones several hours each day I can appreciate what a wonderful thing wireless headphones can be. Now my headset options just got a little better as Helium Digital, a Canadian company specializing in trend-forward accessories, has announced the launch of their new HDBT-700 and HDBT-750 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones.
Helium has launched two models in its new line of Bluetooth headphones, both of which are Bluetooth-enabled devices. The HDBT-700 is a stand alone Bluetooth headset and the HDBT-750 is essentially the same headphones - with the addition of a Bluetooth stereo transmitter.
The HDBT-700 is slightly larger than a typical wired headset and weighs in at a svelte 50 grams. The headset operates on a rechargeable lithium ion battery which provides 6.5 hours Battery Life and has a working distance of approximately 15 meters, allowing you to remain untethered from your player for hours.
The HDBT-700 will have a suggested retail price of $79.99 (CND), while the HDBT-750 will retail at $129.99 (CND). Both models will be available in both black and white, and will begin shipping in mid October.

I purchased the Helium Digital HDBT-750 Bluetooth Stereo Headphones with Transmitter to use these with my 5G 30GB iPod Video. They work very well. Sound quality is good thanks to the Bluetooth V2.0 Stereo signal. However, if you want driving bass, these headphones are not for you. They are super light weight, very comfortable for long periods of time. The HDBT-750’s work through the transmitter connected to the 3.5mm jack on the iPod. A 3.5mm audio jack on any audio device will only support volume control, not skip, fast forward, pause, stop or other functions. The freedom from wires is great. Distance is good depending on the environment. I have used them up to 40 ft away from iPod/transmitter with no solid walls in between. Perfect for use around the house as long as you do get too many walls or any floors between you and the iPod/transmitter. Battery life offers no limitations for a day of listening at the office between phone calls. I’m very pleased with my purchase. Jeff at Helium Digital is very helpful. Headphones were ordered on Thursday morning and were shipped from Canada to Tennessee. They arrived the following Tuesday. $129.99 is in Canadian currency. U.S. Cost will run about $111.00.
