Although many mobile phones now feature MP3 players, most people prefer to keep their devices separate. If you’re a Bluetooth buff, this can mean endless swapping back and forth between headsets, unless you happen to have more than two ears. Plantronics has created the ideal solution with the Pulsar 590, which lets you switch seamlessly between listening to music and conducting phone conversations with a single set of headphones. Working wirelessly over a distance of up to 10 metres (30 feet), the headset mutes sound automatically when a call comes in, then lets you chat using the adjustable microphone. 12 hours of talk and 10 hours of listening time ensure you can wear the Pulsar 690 all day, before recharging via the mains or USB.

Didn’t take Steve Jobs and Apple long to respond to my blog entry on "How to Prevent Hearing Loss" from a week ago.
Seems Apple just announced a software update for the iPod that would let users set a maximum volume limit. The update is available as a free download from Apple at http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/ipodupdater20060323.html.
Maybe it wasn’t the blog, but the class action suit; any steps to prevent hearing loss are a good thing …
