[box_dark]ety8 Headphones: Opposites Attract[/box_dark]
Etymotic has been successful in forming an unlikely combination of in-ear canal headphones, commonly known as canalphones, and Bluetooth technology. The result is the Etymotic ety8 headphones. The canalphones have a single cable connecting the right and left sides of the headphones behind your neck. The sleek design is a welcome change from the bulky headphones you find in the market. The et8 headphones boast of tiny enclosures on each earpiece. While the right side contains the components of Bluetooth, the left side is responsible for housing a rechargeable battery. You are able to connect the ety8 to the dock-connector port on your iPod using a small Bluetooth transmitter. The buttons present on the earpiece on the right side allow you to control volume and playback.
