Engadget have got a hands-on gallery with the RCA Jet Stream cordless earphones, which are based on the Kleer reference design SlashGear wrote lustfully about last year. With a five to six foot range, using proprietary RF connectivity with apparently incredible audio quality, as demonstrated they’re working with a specific RCA mp3 player but there’s no reason why future PMPs could have the hardwear built-in, or even a plug-in dongle for a retrofit solution.
The most surprising thing, perhaps, is the $129 price-tag. Vincent, you hear me? Bring me back a set of these!

Quick clarification: I am familiar with the Kleer technology, and the range is actually not limited to 5 or 6 feet, but rather goes to a much more respectable 30 feet wireless range. I guess what Engadget experienced was the simple fact that CES (where they heard the wireless earphones) is probably the most electronically polluted place on the face of the earth. Were else do you measure the amount of electronic gizmos in units/sq.inch?
Anyways, just thought I’d point that out before the rumor about 5 or 6 feet sticks. 30 ft – remember…

Okay please some one ell me the answer to this. When I purchased this mp3 player I thought that these were the earbuds that came with it NOT the ones with the wire connecting. Do these ones even exist? Where can these RCA earbuds be found without the wire connecting the cans. Thank you so much
