On Thursday, Hitachi Maxell introduced its SRS WOW HD-enabled Bluetooth audio transmitter dongle for the iPod. The device, which is compatible with all full-size iPods as well as the nano and mini, uses the standard iPod connector and can enhance the sound quality of the iPod's audio and video files.

According to Electronista, the device's connector allows it to process audio from the iPod with the SRS WOW HD audio enhancement before transmitting via Bluetooth to any Bluetooth-enabled headset or speaker accessory. The WOW HD process is turned on and off from a small "SRS" branded button on the front of the unit.

Hitachi also unveiled a Bluetooth stereo headset with support for SRS WOW HD sound which can pair with the dongle via Bluetooth and allow file data to be sent between the two devices.

"We wanted to work with SRS Labs because they are an industry leading audio provider with proven high quality sound techniques," said Akio Mishima, manager of Hitachi Maxell's brand business division. "SRS WOW HD audio and bass enhancement incorporated into our new Bluetooth devices provides significant sound improvement for all types of audio content commonly stored on portable media devices."

"We are conscious about our product's energy consumption and were impressed by how much less power this process consumes than previous solutions we have used," Mishima added.

No set price has been announced for the dongle or its accompanying headset.
