BlueTooth based adapters

Jabra a125s

Jabra showed us a prototype of a new device they have coming to the market later this year; it’s basically BlueTooth for your iPod, but in a clever way.
The small box fits into the socket on the bottom of the IPod, be it the nano, mini, iPod or iPod video and allows you to couple up with the BT620s headset they have on the market at the moment.



The clever bit comes with the fact the adapter plugs into the bottom of the iPod and not the usual top, therefore its powered by its own battery and not zapping the juice from the iPod itself.

Due to be in production later this year, the iPod BlueTooth adapter is just part of the Jabra move into music.

Jabra a120s

The a120s is a very simple idea, which has the potential to be massive, put simply, it allows you to make a standard headphone socket equipped audio device into one able to put out wireless BlueTooth audio.

Designed to pair up with the newly released BT620s Jabra headphones, the a120s is quite compact and easy enough to slip into the pocket where your audio player resides.

Jabra a320s



Although on the surface it’s just a simple USB BlueTooth adapter, the a320s does in fact give you the ability to use the BT620s headset on your PC. So rather than buying a separate set of head phones for each purpose the new range from Jabra gives you the cheaper option of just buying the adapter.

Round up...

Overall Jabra have really brought a very comprehensive range of music derived devices which cater for nearly all possible user requirements. Whilst a lot of the products we saw during our visit to Jabra at CeBIT were prototypes and early production run samples, it still gave us a very good idea what to expect over the coming year.

Whilst all the mobile manufacturers were pushing mobile music very heavily, Jabra have prepared themselves well for the coming 12 months in the rapidly moving mobile market.
