RE: I need help with a headphone model.

2014-12-21 Thread John Gurd
Aw now, I won't hear anything against the Koss Porta pros (smiles). I've had
so many of them fall apart over the years since my first pair in the
eighties and somehow, despite the lifetime guarantee, I usually ended up
buying another pair. And don't get me started on how they could snag
painfully in your hair. And yet, I still like them because they are light
over-the-ear and sound better to me than most cheaper headphones. I bought a
pair of high-end Bowers and Wilkins P7s which sound much superior with the
iPhone, but they are heavier, tighter and because they are enclosed mean you
can't listen out for stops when travelling, I tend to use them for serious
sit-down listening and still use the Porta Pros for convenience when
travelling. In fact, I just bought a headset version with mike and MFI
control for the iPhone.

I didn't even think the double-A's were made any more. Heavy? Sure were! But
oh, the sound! Best the 70's had to offer, in my unhumble opinion, as they
say.

What are the AKG's like? Tell me about their fit, their performance,
durability, anything at all.

They were heavy, uncomfortable, and the cord end died in a year. I 
ended up replacing them with Sennheiser HD280PROs, which too had their 
relyability problems, but sounded a whole lot better. For construction, 
to me, you can't beat the AKG stuff, as it's built to adapt to the user 
instead of being totally ridged.

 The model of Plantronics Wireless headset I mentioned is this on 
 http://www.plantronics.com/au/product/audio-995

 Its not a Bluetooth headset, rather its a Wireless headset designed
to be used with a computer.

 The Headset comes with a USB dongle which plugs into your computer.

 When the Operating System is launched it detects the Dongle thus
your Plantronics Headset becomes another sound device which software such as
Skype can access.

 The Headset is build well and design is excellent without a doubt,
if you buy one of these models then it should last you for quite some time.

 Its not a top of the line model but for chats and casual music
listening its perfectly fine.

 Also bare in mind that the Headset is a closed type rather than an
open type, - the ears fit into cuffs instead of the Headset sitting on the
ears -.

 I got rid of the Plantronics model actually, not because of any 
 fault of the Headset but rather because the cuffs around the ears
didn't really suit my hearing requirements with my hearing instruments.

 It has great audio quality and it is an in-ear headset with some
 geometry which supposed to keep it in the ear, but it did not work well
 in that it would eventually creep down and fall out unless I helped by
 turning the headset a bit.  The other thing the Bose lacks is any way

Its supposed to, but when I tried it, it didn't do very well, I even
updated the firmware with the help of tech support, but that didn't
help.

 John,
 
 Does the Legend has it's own announcement of incoming caller ID? By this I
 mean not from VoiceOver but the headset's own voice announcing the incoming
 call, either number or name.

Re: I need help with a headphone model.

If you're looking at Bluetooth Headsets then you might look at the Logitech 
H800 which is Bluetooth and can also be used with a computer thanks to the USB 
Dongle, this model has also been extensively discussed on list.

The performance from the Logitech H800 is very good but build quality is 
nothing short of dreadful and the Headset won't last too long.

If you're looking at an very good quality Bluetooth Headphones then you should 
certainly take a look at the Sehnheiser MM500, I bought a set of these 2 years 
ago and I've never looked back though my model may well be discontinued by now.

The Logitech is a good performer for its price but build quality is awful, if

Re: I need help with a headphone model.

2014-09-28 Thread Dane Trethowan
Okay thanks.

I'm not all that familiar with in the ear type earbuds but I do seem to have 
the problem of them edging out of my ears when ever I wear them, I thought it 
was only me having that trouble.

The best success I've had with earbuds were from the JBL Roxy Reference 
Earbuds, these weren't Bluetooth or anything, they were just cheap earbuds that 
plugged into an iPod, CD player or whatever but they looked very different from 
any other Earbuds I'd seen at they time, they were more spherical.

 It has great audio quality and it is an in-ear headset with some
 geometry which supposed to keep it in the ear, but it did not work well
 in that it would eventually creep down and fall out unless I helped by
 turning the headset a bit.  The other thing the Bose lacks is any way
 unassisted to get a battery indication.  It has great Bluetooth
 connectivity whereas some of the Plantronics ones do not, the Legend
 seems pretty good that way as well in that it does not cut off the first
 sylable like some phones do.

 The model of Plantronics Wireless headset I mentioned is this on
 http://www.plantronics.com/au/product/audio-995
 
 Its not a Bluetooth headset, rather its a Wireless headset designed to be 
 used with a computer.
 
 The Headset comes with a USB dongle which plugs into your computer.
 
 When the Operating System is launched it detects the Dongle thus your 
 Plantronics Headset becomes another sound device which software such as 
 Skype can access.
 
 The Headset is build well and design is excellent without a doubt, if you 
 buy one of these models then it should last you for quite some time.
 
 Its not a top of the line model but for chats and casual music listening 
 its perfectly fine.
 
 Also bare in mind that the Headset is a closed type rather than an open 
 type, - the ears fit into cuffs instead of the Headset sitting on the 
 ears -.
 
 I got rid of the Plantronics model actually, not because of any fault of 
 the Headset but rather because the cuffs around the ears didn't really 
 suit my hearing requirements with
 my hearing instruments.
