Digital Entertainment: Newtech
Headphones provide an intimate music-listening experience as they drown out nearby sounds. Yet some sounds—like an incoming phone call—may be important enough to warrant an interruption.
That is the motivation behind Plantronics' new MX100-s headphone model, which combines
a mobile phone headset and full-stereo earbuds. The device has separate connectors for a portable music player and a mobile phone. The two lines link in a single-cord connection to the headphones, allowing the user to hear incoming calls and switch from one device to the other.
A switch on the headset cord controls the incoming audio feed, and a volume control feature is available. For mobile phone purposes, the MX100-s includes a speaker equipped with Plantronics' AcuSpeak microphone technology.
Plantronics headphones, unlike most mobile phone headsets, feature stereo-enabled earbuds for music listening.
The MX100-s works with all digital MP3 players (including Apple Computer's iPod) and with most headset-enabled mobile phones, such as those from Audiovox, Kyocera, LG and Motorola. Plantronics will send free adapters for various Nokia and Sony Ericsson phones upon request.
The MX100-s retails for $39.99 and is available through Apple stores and the Apple Web site.
