RIM Bluetooth Visor/FM Transmitter & Executive Headphones Spotted At CES

Our buddy Kevin spotted some slick new accessories that RIM will be releasing soon at CES. Last year they had the remote stereo gateway that took a few months to come out so expect these to be the same. The Bluetooth visor is pretty simplistic until you realize that it has an FM transmitter built in. That means that no only will it let you make calls over your stereo system but it will also let you stream music off your BlackBerry wirelessly!!!

The executive headphones answer a need I have had for quite awhile. Inline volume control for BlackBerry headphones. Its just a shame that they have made the whole headphone into one piece so you cannot just add inline volume control to your current headphones. That’s a shame since I am sticking with my awesome Shures.

    Why can’t you just buy an inline volume control? I’ve seen them at Radio Shack and elsewhere.

    I want to be able to change songs without taking my berry out of my pocket. I could care less about volume control :)

    I have the Plantronics Voyager 855 bluetooth stereo headphones that put these foolish RIM “executive” headphones to shame. Sony has some cool bluetooth headphones coming out soon too. RIM upgrade your game. Where are the bluetooth stereo headphones??? Duh.

    Great sound, but THESE EARBUDS DO NOT STAY IN YOUR EARS! I’ve even tried to replace the silicone earbud covers with ones I know fit my ears and they still will not stay in place. Don’t even try to walk or exercise with them. It’s a totally frustrating experience.

    I wrote to RIM about the problem, and they told me that they do not manufacture accessories for the Blackberry and to contact the manufacturer directly. Whatever. They’re going back to the retailer that sold them to me. Avoid this product until design is improved.

    Try a pair of shure headphones. They never fall off during exercising and sound awesome but cost a pretty penny
