Creative Intros WP-450, Creative WP-350 And Creative WP-250 BT Headphones

Creative is on a serious roll this week. First, the D80 Bluetooth speaker, and now a line of new BT headphones. The new WP series is comprised of the 450, 350, and 250, ANC all three feature support for Bluetooth calling and music listening. The company is really playing up the invisible mic angle, and they're insinuating that these were specifically designed to work with mobile devices. You'll find a degree of noise killing powers throughout, with the 450 able to last around 8 or 9 hours when listening to music.

Pricing on the trio ranges from $60 right on up to $129, with the 350 on sale this month and the other two on sale in September.
