I am a month behind in reading mail from this list. Hope you will forgive
me for asking questions on Bose Frames.
I didn't know about them and am absolutely fascinated by the idea! I want
headphones I can wear while walking outside that would allow me to listen
to GPS directions from my phone as well as sounds in the environment. The
open ear technology sounds like it will do that.
Since I have no vision, not even light perception, the lenses are not
important except that polarized do seem to be better than non-polarized.
The Tempo seems to be highly recommended by list members. However I
noticed that the older alto has two features not mentioned in any of the
newer models:
Integrated microphone
Multi-directional motion sensor
Do the newer models have microphones for taking calls or giving commands
to the phone?
What is the advantage of a multidirectional motion sensor, either in
general or for me as a blind user?
I hope someone has tried the alto and knows what this does.
Thank you in advance for your help, as well as for bearing with me on this
subject.
