DigiFi™ and Kleer™ Launch Digital Opera S2
And iPod®-Compatible Digital Opera S5
Wireless Earbuds
Change iPod Tracks And Volume Levels Remotely Using Buttons Conveniently Located On The Wireless Earbuds
 Anyang, South Korea, May 19, 2009 – DigiFi and Kleer today announced the availability of the Digital Opera S2 and the ‘Made for iPod’ Digital Opera S5 wireless earbuds that feature volume and track control buttons conveniently located on the wireless earbuds. Ideal for people who like to listen to high-fidelity music without the wires at work or the gym, the Opera S2 and iPod-compatible Opera S5 use Kleer wireless technology to stream uncompressed, lossless, CD‑quality (16-bit, 44.1KHz-sampled) digital stereo audio. In addition, both wireless earbuds have a range of 32 feet (10 m), offer a listening time of up to 10 hours, and can stream audio to a maximum of four people who are using Kleer-based wireless earbuds.
“We’re very excited to announce the Opera S2 and the iPod-compatible Opera S5,” said No Young Park, CEO of DigiFi. “We believe these wireless earbuds will revolutionize the wireless headphone space as they offer an unparalleled wireless music listening experience. People will no longer need to dig their iPod out of their purse or pocket to change the volume or the song. Now, volume and track controls are easily managed remotely while their iPod is stored safely away.”
“DigiFi continues to impress the market by adding customer-driven features to its wireless earbuds,” said Steve Humphreys, President & CEO of Kleer. “With these new easy-to-use features, people will be able to change songs and volume without missing a beat. And since both earbuds use Kleer wireless audio technology, this means people are able to listen to uncompressed, lossless, CD-quality, digital stereo audio without the wires wherever they are, whatever they're doing, by themselves or with friends, for longer than any earbuds this size.”
For customers wanting to stream music from a variety of portable and stationary media players the Opera S2 is ideal as its 3.5mm-compatible transmitter takes advantage of the popular 3.5mm stereo audio jack found on most media players — MP3 players, home stereo systems, computers, mobile phones, televisions, iPod docks, and more. For customers who only use an iPod, then the Opera S5 is ideal as its iPod-compatible transmitter offers customers the ability to play, pause, advance, previous, fast forward, and rewind a song using the track control buttons on the wireless earbuds.
The Opera S2 and iPod-compatible Opera S5 will be released worldwide on June 20, 2009. Final retail price depends on the country and distributor.
