Hasta La Gadget!

Sony Mobile Communications is releasing a wireless headset “SBH50″ in mid July. It’s compatible with NFC so that you can connect it quickly with your NFC compliant smartphone or tablet like Xperia Z. After they get connected, you can listen to the radio and music, and have a phone call wirelessly.

Because “SBH50″ has FM tuner built-in, it is capable of playing the FM radio without connecting with the smartphone or table.

Its organic EL display shows a caller name, the caller’s number, music titles, radio frequency and so on. You will be notified of updates of Twitter/Facebook, Emails, SMS messages, and calendar alarms as well.

Price: ¥7,980
Color: black, white
Size: 58mm x 24mm x 12mm
Weight: 16.9 g

Sony’s Xperia ZR isn’t reaching the market all by its lonesome: it’s accompanied by a high-end Bluetooth headset, the SBH50. The sequel to the Smart Wireless Headset Pro mostly ups the ante with NFC — listeners just have to tap the smart remote against their Xperias (or many other NFC-aware devices) to get going. There’s still the emphasis on higher-than-usual quality for wireless audio; likewise, the remote continues to preview calls and messages, play FM radio and take the owner’s pick of wired headphones. Sony has only committed to launching the SBH50 “soon” and hasn’t mentioned prices, but we’d use the previous headset’s $150 price as a rough benchmark. Catch Sony’s overview video after the break.
