He represents some other brands of outdoor gear I sell at my store and he has picked up this line of accessories from a company called Outdoor Technology. They make a stereo Bluetooth headset, a set of stereo Bluetooth earbuds which are connected with a string so you can hang them around your neck and a speaker called the "Turtle" which is like the Jambox. On my iPhone the headset I have shows up as "OT DJ Slims", OT stands for Outdoor Technology and I guess the model is called the DJ Slims. I do like them, sound quality is decent for books/music, not great but OK for phone calls and while I have not tested this a lot apparently they don't do much in terms of noise cancellation when there is wind etc. The website is www.OutdoorTechnology.com and if you google "OT DJ Slims" you do get a bunch of hits with reviews including aa 4 minute something YouTube video review. They sell retail for $69.95 and for that price they are definitely not bad, even better in my case since the rep sold me his show sample for half that. They do use Bluetooth 2.1 and Voiceover works fine as they do support A2DP. Apparently Outdoor Technology is working on a Bluetooth 3.0 version, but I am not sure when this will come out and in what way it will be better. I do like the fact that they do have skip forward and back buttons in addition to the volume up/down and power button. The button configuration has the big round on/off button in the middle, above are the skip forward and back buttons and below are the volume up/down buttons. They are also quite rugged with a traditional headband design and relatively large, square foam earpieces. They are not super light, but as I said, they do seem very stirdy and I find them comfortable to wear.
