Don’t plan the funeral of wired headsets anytime soon. Bang & Olufsen, the provider of very high end audio and video products, launched the EarSet 3 today. The $250 priced set of headphones bridges your cell phone headset and MP3 player earphones in one. The company’s first stereo headset with a built-in microphone is compatible with the Apple iPhone.

For the price we are betting that the EarSet 3 is full of acoustical excellence. The 1.09 oz set has been developed to closely match the contours and curves of each ear, ensuring that no sound escapes. The ear buds include foam rubber covers and should stay firmly and comfortably in place. We are happy to hear that a specially designed leather carrying case is included to keep the puppies safe.

Zean Nielsen, President of Bang & Olufsen America says the EarSet 3 “is quite a revolutionary idea.” The product looks pretty nifty but, Mr. Nielsen, we are going to say that a wired headset with a microphone isn’t all that revolutionary here at CES.
