Wireless Bluetooth Speakers for Your SigmaTel MP3 Player

By: Grahm Skee on March 9, 2006 8:35 PM

Parrot will be showing off Bluetooth speakers at CeBit 2006 along with their many other Bluetooth enabled accessories. Why is this good news for the world of MP3 players? SigmaTel, maker of MP3 player audio chips, just recently announced that they are working on a low powered Bluetooth SoC (System on Chip) for upcoming MP3 players.

Being able to wirelessly play music from your MP3 player is great news, but take that a step further and allow your MP3 player to choose the speakers and volumes in different locations in your house. You will have Sonos-like capabilities from a digital audio player. Even better, how about integrating Bluetooth into your Sonos system? The future of MP3 players looks good.

Cowon iAudio D2

The D2 is a fantastic sounding PMP with a very nice looking screen and a tone of features. One of the best features of the D2 is the SDHC slot allowing you to add another 32GB to this small wonder. The touch interface does not lend well to on the move operation, but it is not enough to keep it from being an editor’s choice.

Phonak Audéo PFE

Phonak Audéo PFE offer outstanding clarity and precision; natural, dynamic mids and treble, and decent bass for a single armature in-ear phone. They handle dense, complex music very well. The PFE work well with most acoustic and some electronic music genres, but bassheads might have to look at other alternatives. They're great for sports as well, since they fit very securely.
