"Don't let the name fool you, Sony's Smart Wireless Headset pro won't clip on your ear. That's because it looks and functions more like a traditional MP3 player, using its powers of Bluetooth 2.0 to communicate with compatible Android devices. The two-tone peripheral comes with a headset, four sets of earbuds, USB cables and a 2GB microSD card pre-installed (expandable up to 32GB) to let you store music. If the feature set stopped right there, this accessory would be just another underwhelming PMP, but factor in its text-to-speech functionality and you get a PDA of sorts to keep you abreast of incoming emails, texts and social media updates. The device will also let users receive incoming voice calls and even dial-out using a recent call list. It's hitting Sony's online and retail shops now, so if you've got a spare $150 and a taste for extraneous peripherals -- by all means, take the plunge.Show full PR text      Smart Wireless Headset pro &amp;ndash; a Premium Bluetooth&amp;trade; Stereo Headset Delivering a Quality Wireless Audio Experience - Now Available in the US     What: Engineered for music lovers, the Smart Wireless Headset pro is a multifunctional Bluetooth&amp;trade; stereo headset.
