Avnera announces two new wireless audio products

January 8th, 2008 by Todd Haselton

Acoustic ResearchYesterday, Avnera announced a few new products that use its AvneraAudio technology. Two of my favorites that look particularly attractive are the Acoustic Research Wireless remote system and the Skype Certified FREETALK wireless stereo headset.

Acoustic Research wireless remote system

The Acoustic Research wireless remote system lets you roam around your house with your iPod, while another dongle sits attached to your stereo playing any music you choose. It’s perfect for a fully audio-enabled house where the stereo may be in the living room while the music listener is cookin’ up bacon to the tune of Jack Johnson. With the latest announcement, the chef can control their songs, whip (me) up an awesome breakfast, and not have to worry about leaving the room when Cher comes on. The wireless remote will be available in April for $129.99.

Skype Headset

I’m always down to Skype, but I’m not always down for sitting in front of my computer to do so. The FREETALK Wireless stereo headset reportedly lets you walk up to 65-feet away from your computer without dropping your Skype call.

I wish I had this baby when my girlfriend was abroad in Rome last year—you know, so I could chat and play non-alcoholic drinking games at the same time. The headset is on the expensive side at $79.95, but I guess that’s the cost of gaining the extra 35 feet of cordless freedom that a Bluetooth device couldn’t give you.
