Bang & Olufsen unsheathe their pen of masterful design again

I know it’s expensive.  I know it’s slightly crossed the line into design cliché.  I even know that there are better products out there.  But still, I can’t get enough of that Bang & Olufsen goodness.  Now they’ve embraced Bluetooth (about sodding time) and fashioned this delicious mobile headset out of metal, rubber and pure “yum”.  Replete with dual-microphones, that leverage some sort of clever voice-isolating technology (possibly similar to that found in microphone-arrays on laptops that have speech recognition), estimated battery life of 4 hours talk-time and 100 hours standby, the Earset 2 will be available next year for $250-300
