Phillips New Bluetooth Headphones Feature Touch Controls

The new Phillips SHB7110/37 earphones are probably the coolest I've seen so far. What sets these new earphones apart from the others is the clean innovative design, hidden microphone, and ease of operation by touch.

You can control the headset by simply touching it's surface - no more fumbling with tiny, hard-to-locate keys. Sensors and advanced software in your Bluetooth headset register and interpret any touch so that - for example - a stroke on the headsets surface adjusts the volume, a tap picks up a call, or taking off the headset will transfer an active call to the phone.

The headset also features adaptive volume control that Phillips calls, Everclear Technology. This digitally filters out noise, so a clear voice signal is received and sent out for crystal clear calls. It also recognizes if you enter loud environments and adapts the headsets volume accordingly.



Let's not forget what these headphones were really made for, and that's music. According to the Phillips web site, "During the recording and compression of digital music details and dynamics of the live music get lost. FullSound is a smart algorithm, running on a powerful chip inside the headset. It improves the quality of your music and restores the musics original dynamics, stereo effects, bass and treble to reveal previously unheard detail without distortion. FullSound is enabled out of the box, and can be turned off and on."



Cool factor a side, I'm in the market for some new headphones and these appear to be right up my alley. Pricing has not yet been announced but I'm sure they won't be too cheap.
