Sony has new accessories ready for your Christmas tree. No less than five new audio accessories have been launched by Sony today. We have new noise canceling headphones, the MDR-NC7, new travel speakers, the SRS-M50, a new remote control, the RM-VL610, new EX Style earbuds, the MDR-EX36V and the new Stereo Bluetooth sports headphones, the DR-BT160AS. Well I guess you have everything you need right? At least you know what product codes to look for if you want any of these new Sony pieces.

Sony’s MDR-NC7 noise canceling headphones reduce approximately 87.4% of ambient noise and they are available in black and white for just $50. The SRS-M50 speakers will get you great digital sound and they come in black, pink and white for $50 too. The universal remote control come in eye-catching colors: Crimson Red, Chantilly Pink and Sky Blue and they will work with up to eight components: TV set, DVD player, satellite receiver, cable box, VCR, CD player, tape recorder and amplifiers. The remote costs just $30 and it is already available in stores. The DR-BT160AS Bluetooth Active Style Headphones are the wireless solution for your traveling. They have a built-in microphone for hands-free calls and A2DP Bluetooth Stereo support for great music. These headphones cost $130 exactly as much as the MDR-EX36V EX Style Earbuds. The Earbuds come in silver, red, blue and pink and they will provide that high-quality sound you are looking for. What will you choose?

In case you are looking for a new Bluetooth headset this Sunday, we have just the thing from Motorola. Actually they are two things, the H270 and the H390.

The H270 is a simple Bluetooth headset with just one call/end conversation button and two volume keys. It will get you up to 6 hours of talk time and up to 6 days of standby time.

The H390 has a better battery which will get you a total of 8 continuous hours of talk time and up to 8 days of standby time. It has a LED which changes color like a traffic light. When it reaches red you should recharge the device.

The Philips Luxe MP3 player featured in the picture above is a simple music player offering 2GB of memory, 10 hours of battery life and a small LCD screen. But this gadget is a double agent. It will also work as a Bluetooth 2.1 headset which will get you 100 hours of standby time, an FM radio and great sound quality. It will stop the music to take incoming calls if you were wondering. So yes, this might be a nice addition to the gadgets you already have bought for your handsets.

The device will arrive in Singapore next month and it will cost around $94. Looking forward for it to hit other markets too!

Motorola has an universal Bluetooth headset ready to launch. It’s MOTOPURE H15 the device I am talking about. It brings noise cancellation and Motorola’s TrueComfort design which will let you take calls virtually anywhere, no matter how much screaming goes around you.

How good is the battery of your wireless headset? Does it let speak throughout the busy work day? Well in case you need an alternative power source consider your body movements for getting some energy to that tiny battery.

Imagine a simple thing like wiggling your head. Shake the head to get electricity for your headset device. That’s what a new patent talks about. Whenever such product will be available, provided it’s going to offer good quality calls besides the interesting battery recharge mode, it will be a must have product for quite a crowd. For now we don’t actually know if such a device exists yet.

If you are in Los Angeles or even visiting the city today, head over to the Peterson Automotive Museum before 1:30 p.m. to get your hands on a brand new Bluetooth headset from LG, completely free. As you may already know, starting July 1st, all Californians behind the wheel will need to use a hands-free accessory with their cell phones. LG has teamed up with celebrity Erik Estrada to help at least 1000 people save some money on an earpiece, publicity notwithstanding. The event is called “Red, White, & Bluetooth,” and will start with a LG press release followed by the giveaway at 11:30 a.m. So, make sure you get there in time and take a freebie home that will surely come in handy next month!

After releasing so many new mid ranged and entry level phones yesterday, Sony Ericsson went ahead and announced three Bluetooth Headsets too, the HBH-PV-715, 720 and 740.

I am looking for Bluetooth headsets from time to time but I very rarely tend to use one. It would free my hands in more cases but I am just too used to picking up the phone when I need to talk to anyone. Today I found this Sony DR-BT140QP and fell in love with its name immediately.

Ruggedized notebooks or cell phones is nothing new but Plantronics now brings the moniker to the sissy world of Bluetooth headsets with the Explorer 370. This sturdy headset can talk the talk (yes, pun intended!) with 7 hours of talktime and 8 days on standby and walk its water/dust/shock-resistant walk, being military standard and all. Apart from its tough exterior, there is also “windscreen technology” effectively filtering out noise no matter where you are and QuickPair for smooth pairing with your ruggedized cell phone.

The Explorer 370 will be available starting in March for a suggested price of $79.95 with its less hardy Explorer 360 sibling priced at $69.95.
