Re: ot noise canceling/isolating headsets

Re: ot noise canceling/isolating headsets
I have a pair of er-4 and love them! I also had a pair of molded ears made as well so that they are a custom fit. Much better and easier on the ears over the stock headsets from Apple. They are a life saver on airplanes as well. As per a previous post, remember YMMV. Good luck. -Bob- On Jun 22, 2005, at 04:27, Ralph Plumb wrote: I just purchased the etymotic 6i's and was very disapointed in them. I could never get good bass using either type of tips.

Re: Headsets
This seems a silly thing for Apple to skimp on. The mechanism is already there for the built-in mic. Seems like it would be simple to make it work for a plug-in mic. In fact, the built-in mic is nearly useless anyway. It just picks up the noise of the computer. It would make more sense to leave it out and include an external mic as standard equipment. I agree. The device suggested seems to be a good one, but I wonder about an alternative. Would a bluetooth headset work by itself, without need for a device such as iMic? I have no direct experience, but I have read reports of people for whom that works - i.e. the bluetooth headset appears as an option for both input and output in the sound system preferences and can be used for, say, ichat or skype (or even inputting sound for iMovie); and people that say it does not work for them. My take is that some bluetooth adapters are more compatible than others (and the same is probably true for the headsets). The best option, if available, would be to try before you buy. I, for one, am very pleased with bluetooth functionality (using a cheapish Anycom adapter in my TiBook), but I don't have a headset, so I can't try that.

Re: Headsets
Since most mics are not line level but XLR they would really degrade the battery life as well as make for a MUCH thicker powerbook. -Original Message- From: G-Books [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Peter Saint James Sent: Thursday, March 10, 2005 8:52 AM To: G-Books Subject: Re: Headsets On 9 Mar2005, at 5:12 AM, Luis Sequeira wrote: I want to point out that the sound input port is line level, which means that most mics don't just work.

Re: Headsets
And I thought this would be simple. I want to buy a headset for my Powerbook G4 to use mostly for language programs. I am finding many different kinds with many different prices and little explanation of what makes one better than another. What is the experience of people here as to specifications, features, and brands to look for? TIA Peter I can't comment on models of headsets, but I want to point out that the sound input port is line level, which means that most mics don't just work. I have heard time and again people saying the headphones work, but not the mic. For me, the solution has been to connect (basically, *any*) headset to this nice little gadget called iMic (from Griffin). It connects to a usb port and gives both sound in and out. It has a little switch that allows the sound in port in it to be either line level or mic level. Works like a charm, no drivers needed in Mac OS X, and even works in one the usb ports in the keyboard (that is in my BW). Just select the iMic in the input and output panes of the Sound system preferences and there you go. Luis Sequeira -- G-Books is sponsored by http://lowendmac.com/ and...
