The guys at Kleer were sick of hearing companies like Creative come out with �wireless� headphones, when the headphones were connected to each other by a wire, so they decided to make a true pair of wireless headphones with their Stereo wireless headphones. These very sleek headphones were designed so no wire connected the left and right ear earpieces. The headphones are said to receive at least 10 hours of CD quality sound via a 2.4 GHZ, 16 channel wireless link. The only drawback to these sweet headphones is that they are only compatible with Kleer-based audio sources, meaning that you won�t be able to play these on your iPod Nano without the necessary adaptor. These new headphones from Kleer are very nice, but unless these can get popular, you�ll just look like an idiot with 2 Bluetooth headsets on. — Nick Rice

I’m certainly looking forward to having these available in 2007. As to looking silly with two-Bluetooth look-alike earphones: I’m sure that Kleer’s yet to be announced OEM partners will come up with something more stylish than the reference design posted on the Kleer web site.
Also, watch for some more announcements from them around the CES 2007 timeframe (I’ve heard Jan 2 and 7th)…
I’m hoping for an over the ear comfy cans solution, maybe with some noise cancellation. These ones look like they might hurt my ears.
