November has been declared “Bluetooth Music Month" by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG) in order to highlight the many ways consumers can listen to Hi-Fi stereo music wirelessly.

According to In-Stat Research, streaming music is the most accepted multimedia service offered by wireless carriers. Bluetooth devices that are able to wirelessly stream high-quality music are enabled with the Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) which ensures interoperability among devices with the same profile.
Many new phones on the market include the A2DP profile, enabling consumers to download songs to their phone and listen to CD-quality sound wirelessly through their Bluetooth stereo headset or other audio playback devices. Samsung, LG, Nokia and Motorola are just a few of the manufacturers that offer A2DP enabled phones. A few of the phones available today include the LG Chocolate, the LG LX 550 and the Nokia 8810.
There are several Bluetooth enabled stereo headphones on the market today which enable users to wirelessly listen to stereo music from their A2DP enabled device (such as an MP3 player, PC or PDA). Many of these models also enable users to make and take calls from their Bluetooth enabled mobile phone. When there is an incoming call, the music is paused and the user simply presses a button on the headphones to answer the call. With Bluetooth stereo headphones, such as the Motorola Bluetooth Stereo Headphones, users can also wirelessly switch between a wide variety of sources, such as a home stereo, computer or MP3 player with accompanying Bluetooth stereo accessories.
A few other Bluetooth enabled headphones available today include the Bluetake i-Phono mini BT450Rx, Bluetake i-Phono Plus BT420Rx, the IOGEAR Bluetooth Stereo Headphones, the Plantronics Pulsar 590A Bluetooth stereo headphones and the Jabra BT 620s.
The Bluetooth SIG recently launched the Experience Icon Program to guide and help consumers purchase interoperable products implementing Bluetooth wireless technology. When consumers and retailers see the Music icon, they will know at a glance that the device in question can wirelessly stream stereo quality audio to other Bluetooth enabled devices. www.bluetooth.com
