Lately, I have had a serious worsening of my back and leg problems
and recently got a very nice recliner for me to sit in that I hope
will help. The one drawback is the distance from my computer. A while
back, I bought a standard, non Bluetooth wireless headset. But
setting it up to work without cutting out my main speakers if the
headset ran out of charge was something I never quite figured out and
the thing was bulky and uncomfortable to boot, especially since I
prefer to have one ear free the majority of the time when I am
working on the computer.
What I am looking for is something that will work well and that is
more of an earbud style with or without a microphone. I am using
Windows XP and likely will be until I can save up for a new PC. The
current PC does not have Bluetooth built in, or at least I don't
think it does, but if the best solution is Bluetooth I am willing to
consider a device that uses an adapter. I could use a USB device, a
wireless keyboard with a headphone jack or even something wireless
that will plug in to the headphone jack of my ancient Yamaha speakers
I use for my PC speakers. What is important is to find something I
can use comfortably with one ear free when I need it that I can set
up to get all sounds from the PC directed to or at least set up so
that all sound except maybe music and other media sounds come through
the earphone, and that I can set up in a way that won't leave me
stuck without any sound if the battery gives out while I am using it.
I wouldn't mind using one of the Bluetooth headsets designed for cell
phone use with one earbud and a little microphone if I could get one
that will work the way I want. Any product suggestions or setup
advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Chris
