Hi Ray, I wanted to let you know of some really great ear-buds I've found, which may allow you to not have to use the speaker while walking.
they're light-weight, and very small and compact, just like regular ear-buds. the trick is that you don't cram these inside your ear at all, but they rest really on the edge of your face, right up against the outside of your ear, and a loop of the cord goes up and around behind your ear, and is clipped to itself in such a way that you tighten it to fit, and then they don't fall off. and I have no trouble hearing my book and other people in the room talking to me both. They're not the best music experience ever, but you can hear your music well enough, and still hear other sounds. These are called AirDrives Fit, and are available from Amazon for $31 with free shipping. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001P822RU/ref=ox_ya_oh_product You absolutely can hear all the ambient sounds you need to, while having the sound be crystal clear, and the ear-buds are entirely comfortable. hth, Chip -----Original Message----- From: Ray Campbell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wednesday, February 10, 2010 11:31 PM To: [email protected] Subject: RE: [GW-Booksense] things that bug me Actually, I think music sounds just fine with the BookSense and a good pair of headphones. I use it all the time when exercising. I wish it sounded a little better on the speaker, but there isn't much you can do with a small speaker like that. I really like the speaker for music when I'm out walking in the neighborhood because I can listen to it as I walk, but still hear traffic.
