Kleer wireless technology

Many people are familiar with and use Bluetooth wireless technology. This technology is installed in many telephones, mp3 players, and other electronic devices. For people who want to ditch their mp3 cables, there is a much better alternative. Kleer wireless technology has many advantages over Bluetooth for listening to music. So let’s explore what they could be.

Kleer technology was specifically developed to provide a better way to stream music wirelessly. The biggest problem with Bluetooth is its lack of fidelity. Kleer has been quite successful in this regard. Transmission and reception is CD quality digital sound. This is light years away from Bluetooth, which can only work as well as 320 kbps / s. Most of the time, with most Bluetooth devices, this optimal level is rarely reached. Kleer does not suffer any quality loss for most audio recordings.

There were other problems that were also solved very well with this new wireless protocol. The channel that Kleer uses (RF based) is not subject to interference or drops that may occur with other wireless devices. The transmissions are clear and stay that way.

An interesting feature is that up to four users can listen to the same wireless transmission. This probably doesn’t matter much to most people, but it opens up some interesting possibilities for us to use technology.

A big advantage that accompanies clear channel reception is the power use of the system. Kleer uses fewer channels than Bluetooth to transmit its signal. This saves energy, which means you can spend more time between charges. Kleer can also pack more in a smaller space, as it can reduce the size of the batteries needed to power the headphones or the transmitter. The technology also adjusts power use according to its sensing of how far sound should be sent to the receiver.

The final trick is the distance and robustness of the signal being sent. The technology has the ability to send itself over much greater distances than Bluetooth, which breaks into extremely short ranges. With Kleer, you can easily walk around a large room with a stationary device in a central location seamlessly transmitting quality sound to your wireless device.

So why isn’t Kleer everywhere yet? One problem is that the technology is relatively new. The manufacturer (Kleer) protects their protocol strictly and with their tight control over a great new sound delivery system, they can charge a lot for its use. So the price of its use is currently above 100 dollars. As time passes and more devices offer Kleer, the price may drop.
