Hands-on: iMuffs Wireless Headphones

by Chad Mumm on December 9, 2008 at 12:30 PM


A recent late night flight back to New York was a great opportunity to test out the new iMuffs MB220 Bluetooth headset ($150) from Wi-Gear. The MB220 links with your iPod, iPhone, or Bluetooth-enabled cell phone. The built-in music and volume controls allow you to stash your music player away while you listen wirelessly, which can be a space-saver when crammed into the tiny back rows of a 737.

In compliance with the FAA, we didn't have the chance to test out the built in microphone and make some calls, but that important feature is available should you need it. Unfortunately, we had to take our iPod out of its case to connect the Bluetooth transmitter. With the device stashed under the seat it wasn't a problem but we'd like to see the dongle put on a diet on future iterations of these headseats.
