Headphones are now losing their wires in a new way by integrating near field communication.

A new set of wireless NFC gadgets have now been released in the form of headphones that use near field communication on top of Bluetooth technology to connect with devices.

These products use several kinds of tech in order to achieve wireless connectivity with smartphones or other devices.

These latest wireless headphones that have just been launched by SuperTooth are being called Freedom. They are an over the ear design for full sound and have now experienced their official launch online. These NFC gadgets have been built with the near field communication technology built right into them. This makes it even easier to pair with a broader range of devices.

These NFC gadgets have also been made in order to ensure a high level of sound and bass quality.

They use 40mm drivers in order to help to make certain that this listening quality will remain high. Beyond near field communication, the headphones also use Bluetooth and support devices that are A2DP enabled. For a fully wireless experience, Freedom includes controls located on the ear cups that allow the wearer to be able to change the volume, select tracks, and even answer phone calls.

In order to be able to achieve the best comfort, the ear cups can be rotated for a more customized fit to the wearer. The Freedom headphones are sold along with a storage pouch to help to keep them protected and clean when they are not in use. An omni-directional microphone supported by the headphones allow for voice calls.

The power behind the NFC gadgets is from an internal lithium ion battery. It is said to last for 15 hours per charge for music playback. They have reported that on standby, the battery can last 1000 hours on only a three hours charge time to bring the levels back to full again. The headphones weigh 200 grams and measure 160 mm in height, 187mm in width, and 71mm in depth. Their wireless range is a respectable 10 meters from the device to which they have been connected.

Smartphones and tablets are becoming so popular that some businesses have abandoned their traditional websites.

American consumers are using their mobile gadgets on an increasing basis in order to access websites, and this trend is reaching the point that companies have decided to abandon their websites on the traditional web in order to focus all of their attention on the smaller screen.

Though the desktop and laptop is far from being over, the number of smartphone users is skyrocketing.

A prime example of this complete switch occurred when the website, Hinge, which is designed to be an online matchmaker, had been having a rough time trying to draw potential daters. Instead of maintaining their site on the standard web, they decided to dump that effort and place all of their focus on apps that can be downloaded and used on smartphones and tablets. This occurred in February, and it gave the company the ability to build a stronger base of users.

The reason was that the company’s core market was young singles, a demographic that uses mobile gadgets.

People within that age group were very likely to use their devices for activities that they are capable of accomplishing quickly and easily no matter where they happen to be at the time. Though this may not work for something that requires more information or that is more involved, the Hinge concept worked very well as an app when compared to a standard website for laptops and desktops.

The chief exec of Hinge, Justin McLeod, explained that “More and more people are using mobile as opposed to desktop [computers] for things like dating.” He added that “That’s where the world’s going.”

The world still loves its desktops and laptops. However, as an increasing number of people own smartphones and tablets, and as they add to the number of activities that they accomplish over those devices, they are starting to find that tasks such as meeting people to date – which involve very basic searches and communications online – suit the smaller screen quite nicely.

Therefore, for companies that have services and products that are well suited to mobile gadgets, it can make sense to place all of their focus on those channels, instead of their old traditional websites.
