The Wireless Earbuds: Time to Get A Hand on Them!

Adjust text size:



The design company One & Co, which created the Nike Triax and PalmOne Zire 72, unveiled the wireless earbuds concept a few months ago. Nobody probably noticed the revolutionary headset, but we are bringing them into the spotlight.

The wireless earbuds concept called Versa comes from Plantronics. Like watches, jewlery or eyeware, mobile communication devices become accessories of modern living.
Plantronics Versa redefines functional and fashionable, introducing this wireless headset.

The concept is simple. A mini base connects through Bluetooth to your cellphone and uses RF to connect to the earbuds. As for the design, it comes in three styles: for women - a chrome necklace with two small earbuds, for men a slim, long metallic headset, and a universal combo designed for teens, that features aluminium case and customizable colors.

One&Co is an innovative company that has also designed products for Dell, developing the D600, the company's successor for its best selling notebook. For Microsoft, One& Co created a Media Center PC that redefines the concept of home computer. Another interesting product from the company is Telespree, a revolutionary cellular phone that provides a high quality, low cost alternative to current handsets. Because the phone uses only voice commands, the hardware interaction centers on the speaker, microphone and power button.

These are just what will be coming out. They're still being worked on. Look up Plantronics Versa, these are just a prototype.

i think the whole point of there being a bluetooth earpiece is to not worry about cables. but i was also looking forward to no one knowing that i have an earpiece on. these ear pieces would be better if it didn't have such a big body
