i2! Stream Wireless Audio Transmitter Cables Cut The Tether

There are devices like Apple’s Airport Express that can be used to stream music wirelessly from your computer to your sound system, but what about other devices that aren’t fitted with a WiFi transmitter such as your MP3 player or TV? That’s where these matchbox-sized i2! Stream Wireless Audio Transmitter Cables come in handy.

Being able to stream audio between any two devices with a standard 3.5mm audio jack, you could use these Wireless Audio Transmitters to retrofit a favorite pair of wired headphones with the convenience of wireless technology.

Simply hook up the receiver to your headphones and the transmitter to a sound source and you can listen to the TV or play your favorite tunes in bed, completely untethered and without disturbing your partner. During the day, you could also use the them to wirelessly hook up your iPod to your sound system, or according to Thanko (who stock them in Japan) the Wireless Audio Cables can also be used to stream your tracks to up to 5 mates – as long as they each have a receiver (and set of earphones) of their own.

These i2 Stream Wireless Audio Transmitters charge over USB, getting around 7 hours of audio streaming from a 7 hour charge and the kit includes a pair of USB cables, 2 pairs of audio cables, 2 lanyards, 2 belt clips and are available now over at Hammacher Schlemmer for $119.95.
