Cardo Systems S-2 Bluetooth stereo headphones (MSRP: $65) combine late 1980s-era headwear fashion with modern technology — think Walkman headphones without the wires — for a hands-free stereo soundtrack that travels light.
Stay connected to your Bluetooth phone and MP3 player via dedicated headphone keys that allow pause, changing tracks and volume adjustment without taking the device out of your backpack. Although not for dedicated audiophiles, the S-2 boasts good sound at a range of more than 30 feet with seven hours of playback time, which should be plenty of time to make the calls you need to free up space in your schedule to hit the trail, with plenty of juice left over to listen to all your favorite tunes.
Weighing just 2.8 ounces, the over-the- ears headset sits comfortably and is plenty sturdy for hiking, biking, jogging or even Rollerblading, in case the styling motivates you to get reacquainted with your inner Xanadu.
