The iMuffs from Wi-Gear combine a Bluetooth headset and adapter that enable users to listen to their iPod wirelessly from up to 30’ away. The behind-the-neck headphones feature controls for play/pause, volume, and next/previous track. The iMuffs also offer mobile phone integration. “When your Bluetooth phone rings, the iMuffs automatically pause your iPod and ring in the headphones, and let you talk through the integrated microphone,” says Wi-Gear.
The iMuffs work with any Dock Connector iPod (3G/4G, photo and mini). iLounge is awaiting pricing and availability information from the company. [via Engadget]

I agree, I think they’re good looking, but I can’t really tell how big they are from the pic. But they’re the best looking BT headphones, so far, in my opinion. Love the controls on the earpiece.

These aren’t for fashion, pod-e-mouth - they’re bluetooth headphones designed with function over form.

Could this be the cord-free answer I’ve been looking for? Oh please don’t be more than $79!

from the look of the bluetooth adaptor, it’s designed to fit the mini, so it’s probably a good measurement to go off
(ie the adaptor being the width of a mini)
