Pioneer unveils new wireless Bluetooth headphones with NFC

Both Android and iOS users will be able to connect to the headphones via Bluetooth 4.0, while owners of compatible Android smartphones will also have the ability to instantly connect thanks to NFC pairing.

The controls on the headphones themselves will let you skip or play/pause tracks and adjust the volume levels. Meanwhile, a built-in microphone has been incorporated into the SE-MJ561BTs for hands-free calls.

Max is a staff writer for What Hi-Fi?'s sister site, TechRadar, in Australia. But being the wonderful English guy he is, he helps out with content across a number of Future sites, including What Hi-Fi?. It wouldn't be his first exposure to the world of all things hi-fi and home cinema, as his first role in technology journalism was with What Hi-Fi? in the UK. Clearly he pined to return after making the move to Australia and the team have welcomed him back with arms wide open.
