Plantronics Voyager PRO Bluetooth headset was good enough to make even Vincent look twice at his Jawbone PRIME, and it remains the SlashGear choice if you’re looking for a sturdy, long-lasting hands-free kit with excellent audio quality.  Now Plantronics have announced European availability for the Voyager PRO, with the headset going on sale for £79.99.

Could the PMP industry no longer be enough to hold iriver’s attention?  The company’s first Bluetooth headset, the iriver A100, has been revealed, though we can’t help but be disappointed at the lack of any of their usual design flare.

Anything that can help you save energy or protect the environment is bound to do pretty well these days with so many people’s minds on being green. But the new Q-SOUND headphones are just plain practical in that they are solar-powered.

Though just a concept at the moment, the Q-SOUND headphones make use of a headband that’s filled with solar cells, so when you’re walking around the town, your head is the vessel through which the headphones are charged.

The solar cells are made from a flexible plastic, making them easy to bend around the head. It also uses Bluetooth, allowing you to take calls and listen to music with these headphones. Apparently, all you need is one hour of sun exposure to build up 2.67 hours worth of active use. We’ll be anxious to see if the Q-SOUND headphones make it into reality.

Jeff and John both managed to procure the $119.99 Bluetooth headset over the weekend, and we’ve got the shots to prove it.
