Opera Wireless Headphones

I'm not much of an Opera-buff, but I do like the DigiFi's Opera wireless headphones.

I'm not certain whether you can tell from this photo, but the Opera is designed to go around the back of your head. You can then plug the wireless transmitter into your iPod, and you will hear excellent wireless sound. The Opera uses Kleer technology, a wireless transmission technology that has higher specs than Bluetooth.

If wireless sound is important to you, then you should be able to purchase the Opera for about $98.

DigiFi has been showing off their new Digital Opera wireless headphones, which combine an over-the-ear headset with an iPod adaptor. Using Kleer’s wireless audio technology, the system includes “point to multi-point” Listen In. That means that up to four people can hear music from one transmitter. Through Kleer’s RF wireless connection, it promises “lossless CD-quality stereo”.

DigiFi claims that you can get in excess of 10hrs of playback through the headset, with a 20HZ to 20KHz frequency range, 86dB signal to noise ratio and less than 0.1-percent distortion. The short-range Kleer wireless has 2.37Mbps bandwidth and a range of up to ten meters. When the Digital Opera set goes on sale in Korea first, then in the US and Japan it’ll cost around $98.
