Philips SHB9000 headphones

The Philips SHB9000 headphones are the latest and most sophisticated Bluetooth headphones announced by Philips to date. They will take advantage of features in modern handsets to give pitch-perfect sound quality and all of the benefits of hands free operation.

The SHB9000 Bluetooth headphones will feature FullSound, a digital audio algorithm patented by Philips that refines audio output by performing 10 million operations per second to analyze and re-compute the music signal before it is sent to the speaker. This is claimed to dynamically enhance treble, stereo effects and bass to reveal richer and more natural music details.

Philips SwitchStream technology will also be supported. With SwitchStream you will hear a ring tone in your headphones when you are receiving a call on your Bluetooth enabled phone. You can then pick up the call from your headphones and return to your music after ending the call.

The Philips SHB9000 Bluetooth headphones will be available in the second quarter of 2008 for between US$99 and $129.

It's now nearly August, and these phones still can't be found anywhere in North America!

They seem to be available in Germany at some shops. I'm holding out hope that they come to N. America. Phillips USA declined to comment on this device so I'm not sure that we'll see it anytime soon.;
