As a leader in headset production, manufacturing, and Bluetooth development, Jabra has recently revealed a partnership with RadioShack in the U.S. RadioShack will primarily benefit from this deal by becoming the exclusive retailer of Jabra's two headset devices that employ Bluetooth technology, the Jabra WAVE, and the Jabra EASYGO.
If you have a fairly new car or have been in one recently, you are probably aware of the Bluetooth technology that automatically connects your smartphone to your car's speaker system to make or receive a call.
Things have improved -- both in headphone and portable music player technology. But things aren't always wonderful, as Wellington writes: I love my iPod Shuffle, but my far-from-fashionable buds always pop out of my ears.

After the success of Dr. Dre's Beats, several recording artists have sought to cash in on their own brand of headphones. 50 Cent announced at the CES 2011 this year that he would be making his own headphones line, but according to BCSKids things never really got off the ground. His original deal with Sleek Audio being canceled probably didn't exactly help the mojo there either.
