S Ericsson VH300 and MS410

Making companions for its phone launches today, Sony Ericsson has unveiled a pair of audio accessories. The VH300 (shown) is a universal, entry-level Bluetooth hands-free speaker that includes a single earbud and a clip-on controller. The move away from a conventional earpiece both gives it a lengthier 10-hour talk time and also lets wearers with glasses wear a headset more comfortably. It works with most phones and should ship in the summer.

The MS410 by contrast is created solely for Sony Ericsson phones and plugs into their proprietary headset/power connector to supply stereo sound without consuming significantly more space than the phone itself. An integrated stand keeps the phone upright for seeing music information or videos, and an FM antenna is built-in to support phones' internal radios. Sony Ericsson anticipates shipping the speakers later this spring.
