What I don't understand is why no-one has come up with wifi headphones
(I don't mean the RF type) but something like the GGMM E2 but in a
headphone format.

And while I'm here - if only the Echos had upnp ...

It's about 18 - mainly powered by your excellent bridges!  One of my

Seems to be another thread on this at the moment too. Short answer is
no. Most of the usb power packs either don't support power pass-through
or they momentarily drop power output when the input power changes
state, making them perfectly legit chargers for batteries, but terrible
UPSs. They don't quote this behaviour in any docs so you'd have to buy

There's an open source ups project that is attempting to freshen up ups
design. After all 90% of home UPS designs still use crappy lead acid

some other stuff from it as well, and it would last longer than 5
