You can enjoy portable music sans the wires with JVC’s sleek-looking ear-clip headphone.

Equipped with a built-in digital music player, 128 megabytes of memory, control buttons built into the unit and audio confirmation of commands, the unit makes it easy to listen to music while working out or doing chores. Black with silver buttons, the JVC XA-A50CL player can hold about 30 tunes in the MP3 format or 60 songs in the Windows Media Audio format. It connects to a PC as a USB storage device, so you can easily drag and drop files without any software. It goes on sale in March.
