iMuffs by Wi-Gear: Great-Sounding, Stereo Headphones

July 2008 – Wi-Gear, the company that is committed to building a world without wires, thinks people who exercise or are on-the-go deserve to enjoy their music hassle-free. That’s why they developed iMuffs, which allow users to listen to their iPod or Bluetooth phone through a sleek, ergonomically-designed set of headphones that are wireless yet deliver great stereo sound.

“iMuffs represent the massive convergence of two great technologies: the iPod and Bluetooth cell phone technology,” said Mark Pundsack, Founder and CEO of Wi-Gear. “We saw an opportunity to fill a gap and put the two things together, for a product that provides fantastic sound quality and functionality without all of the hassle of wires.”

iMuffs are perfect for exercisers who want great-sounding music during their workout, without the hassle of tangled wires or hard-to-use controls. The design of the units features clean, sleek simplicity for ultimate on-the-go control. The headset stays on even through sports and fitness activities, and the large, intuitive, ergonomically-placed controls let the user pause, change volume, skip tracks, and seek music right from the headset, even with gloves on.

With Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) and Bluetooth 2.0 technology, users enjoy near-CD quality sound up to 30' (10m) away. When paired with a Bluetooth phone, iMuffs automatically pause the iPod and ring in the headphones, allowing the user to talk through the integrated microphone. The latest iMuffs model represents the first wireless headphones with Clear Voice Capture (CVC) echo and noise cancelation software to ensure the highest quality, clearest voice communications using an integrated microphone.

iMuffs users can also listen to music from a laptop or desktop computer, or talk over iChat or Skype. The headset can be charged through any computer's USB port, or with the included travel charger. Setup of iMuffs couldn’t be easier. Simply unbox, plug in and listen to great stereo sound without the hassle of software downloading, Bluetooth pairing or configuration.

The newest iMuffs model, the MB210, works with iPod nano, iPod classic, iPod touch, iPod photo, iPod mini and all 3rd generation iPods. It is available in black or white, comes with the iMuffs iPod Adapter MA110 (Bluetooth adapter), and is priced at $179.99. The iMuffs iPod Adapter MA110 is also available separately, and is priced at $59.99. All iMuffs products are available at www.wi-gear.com.
