Have you had a look at the Plantronics Audio 478? I don't know about the Audio 470 but I'm thinking they might be similar. I think the Plantronics Audio 478 is the best headset I've ever used for Skype and general music listening, I like the comfort, the light weight and the inline controller

Yes is the answer to both points. You use a utility to stream the music from your computer called Airfoil, you select what you want streamed, you can stream Applications, a line-in source, from your CD-ROM drive etc. On 20/04/2015 3:33 AM, André van Deventer wrote: Dane Is the streaming

the output jack of the Airport Express is a line-out jack, the jack is a 3.5MM jack which can either be used for analogue or digital line-out. On 20/04/2015 4:01 AM, André van Deventer wrote: Dane Can you please explain. If I want to invest in this I would like to know as much as possible.

As I said, I can't say for sure but I'd imagine they're similar to your 470 pair and if you found them comfortable then I'm sure you'll find the 478 likewise. On 20/04/2015 4:31 AM, cov...@ccs.covici.com wrote: Thanks, I will look at that, I thought I saw some reviews of that one which said
