RE: bone conducting headphones

2012-08-08 Thread Richard Turner
I've not seen any blue tooth bone conduction headphones, but the folks that
make the AfterShokz headphones are talking about coming out with blue tooth
this year.
Personally, the AfterShokz headphones don't fit my head very well.  They are
probably a quarter to three-eighths  inches shorter than would be ideal for
me.  But for those for whom they fit, they have gotten good reviews.
The problem I see with their design is that if you have a small head, they
will be too big because they are not adjustable.

RE: bone conducting headphones

2012-08-08 Thread Ron Pelletier
Hi,

I have the After Shokz which I find great.  They are rechargeable and the
battery lasts a long time.  You recharge them in a USB port.  I use them
with my Trekker as well as my IPhone.  You can get a model with microphone
and one without and there is only $10 difference in price.

They are not blue tooth and, right now, I don't know of any that are.

Hi,

There is the Captain Plus.  

I don't know much about it but, someone in my class when I recently went for
a Guide Dog, had one and was pleased with it.  He pointed out that it is not
the Trekker Breeze but very good considering the fact that it is about half
the price.  Myself, I don't think I would have much use for the voice
recognition because of the ambient noise when I'm out on the street but he
found it good for him in a smaller, quieter town.  Of course, you don't
absolutely have to use the voice recognition.

If you go to Google and search for Captain talking GPS, you will get a lot
of information about it.

They're quite nice!  The sound is quite adequate, and they're pretty
comfortable to wear.  They might be a problem for some, depending on how
large or small their heads are, since they do not have any way to adjust
them.
