I bought a Plantronics Stereo PC Headset at Best Buy today. Noted the
following....
K used as symbol for kilo instead of k
no spaces between numbers and unit symbols (I prefer that they be used,
although that is not a stated requirement of the SI.)
awkward statements using decibels:
106dBSPL/mW +/-4dB
-39dBV/Pa +/-5dB
But what I *really* liked about the package label was that there were
absolutely no non-SI units! That includes such statements as:
Cable Length & Connection: 2.9 meters (3.5mm plugs)
Speaker Driver Size: 28mm diameter
Not one single, solitary FFU, WOMBAT, American Hodgepodge unit!!! None
anywhere in or on the package! And the bar code display includes the words
"Audio60 - US" so they were intended for marketing in the US. Hot diggitty!
By the way, they sound great; haven't tried the microphone yet, though.
I think I'll write them a nice note and include some incidental suggestions
for improving their SI formatting.
