Orange County Register

Two Orange County companies, IOGEAR of Irvine and SRS Labs of Santa Ana, announced today a partnership on a Bluetooth headset with enhanced sound that can be used with any Bluetooth-enabled MP3 player, mobile phone or other audio device.

The deal adds “WOW HD” sound technology from SRS to IOGEAR’s Bluetooth Audio Transport. The device (model GBMH221W6) costs $79.95 from major catalog and online resellers, as well as selected retail outlets. It comes with a one-year warranty from IOGEAR.

Key features:

• Maximum Bluetooth range is 33 feet.
• Button control and a microphone for use with phones that have A2DP technology, allowing users to pick up calls during music playback (like seen with the Apple iPhone and its headphones), even if the phone is tucked away in a pocket.
• The headset has five control buttons: play, pause, track selection next and previous, and volume control.
• The built-in rechargable battery provides up to six hours of play time and can be recharged via USB.
• SRS WOW HD technology improves audio performance, especially of highly compressed music files.
