i.Tech BlueBand

05 Jan, 2007, 5:52 pm IST | Aalaap Ghag | Headphones

We’ve been talking about Bluetooth A2DP for too long on the site, but we haven’t actually reviewed any compatible headsets yet. That's changed now, as we have the i.Tech BlueBand, a pair of A2DP compatible wireless headphones, for review.

For those who came in late, A2DP is Advanced Audio Distribution Profile—a method by which compatible Bluetooth devices can wirelessly transmit and receive stereo audio in higher quality than the normal mono handsfree or headset profile.

The BlueBand is a soft and flexible pair that’s also extremely light, coming right under 70 grams. This makes it comfortable to wear for prolonged periods. However, the band rests on the lower part of your head or above your neck (depending on the size of your head) and that puts a little pressure on your earlobes. If the band was to rest on the top of your head (like conventional headphones), the BlueBand would have been much more comfortable since they are so light. The headphones can also be folded for easy storage.

The right side earpiece has buttons which are used for volume control, pairing and answering phonecalls. There are no playback controls on the set as it doesn’t support AVRCP (Audio/Video Remote Control Profile).
