Hi!
I think it was Dane that mentioned a pair of highquality plantronics 
bluetooth headset some time ago.
Though i don't remember the model name.
I guess it was something wit m95 or something like that.
Any help appreciated.
I really need a good wireless headset for my iphone.
Not inear just over ear or around ear.

If we can't look at ourselves, and ask, why?  then where does the learning 
start?

Re: I need help with a headphone model.

[Dane Trethowan]

Okay thanks.

I'm not all that familiar with in the ear type earbuds but I do seem to have 
the problem of them edging out of my ears when ever I wear them, I thought it 
was only me having that trouble.

The best success I've had with earbuds were from the JBL Roxy Reference 
Earbuds, these weren't Bluetooth or anything, they were just cheap earbuds that 
plugged into an iPod, CD player or whatever but they looked very different from 
any other Earbuds I'd seen at they time, they were more spherical.

Re: I need help with a headphone model.

[covici]

It has great audio quality and it is an in-ear headset with some
geometry which supposed to keep it in the ear, but it did not work well
in that it would eventually creep down and fall out unless I helped by
turning the headset a bit.  The other thing the Bose lacks is any way
unassisted to get a battery indication.  It has great Bluetooth
connectivity whereas some of the Plantronics ones do not, the Legend
seems pretty good that way as well in that it does not cut off the first
sylable like some phones do.

To be honest I'm not exactly sure how the AirPlay system the drive works so 
I'll tell you more about it when it arrives, with luck that might be tomorrow.

Re: I need help with a headphone model.

[Dane Trethowan]

The Logitech is a good performer for its price but build quality is awful, if 
this headset had the build quality of the Plantronics Audio 995 then it would 
be near perfect and a truly value for money product.

Hmmm, so does it have a line out to play the airplay with, or what use is 
airplay on a hard drive?

Hi!

I don't wonder about what is available out there in the stores anymore, I 
just buy it and enjoy the convenience, so is the case with a new portable 
hard drive I just bought on eBay.


Its size is unremarkable at1TB but what is remarkable are the connectivity 
options this drive has.


Its USB 3.0 compatible but also Wi-Fi B/G/N ready.

Added to this are the extra DLNA and AirPlay connectivity functions 
included.


Added to this is the built-in rechargeable battery, it only lasts for 6 
hours that's true - nothing startling there - but at least one gets 6 
hours of good portable use.


I should receive the drive later on this week and will let you know how I 
go setting the device up though I doubt it will be too much of a problem.

Re: I need help with a headphone model.

[Dane Trethowan]

If you're looking at Bluetooth Headsets then you might look at the Logitech 
H800 which is Bluetooth and can also be used with a computer thanks to the USB 
Dongle, this model has also been extensively discussed on list.

The performance from the Logitech H800 is very good but build quality is 
nothing short of dreadful and the Headset won't last too long.

If you're looking at an very good quality Bluetooth Headphones then you should 
certainly take a look at the Sehnheiser MM500, I bought a set of these 2 years 
ago and I've never looked back though my model may well be discontinued by now.

Re: I need help with a headphone model.

[Dane Trethowan]

The model of Plantronics Wireless headset I mentioned is this on


Its not a Bluetooth headset, rather its a Wireless headset designed to be used 
with a computer.

The Headset comes with a USB dongle which plugs into your computer.

When the Operating System is launched it detects the Dongle thus your 
Plantronics Headset becomes another sound device which software such as Skype 
can access.

The Headset is build well and design is excellent without a doubt, if you buy 
one of these models then it should last you for quite some time.

Its not a top of the line model but for chats and casual music listening its 
perfectly fine.

Also bare in mind that the Headset is a closed type rather than an open type, - 
the ears fit into cuffs instead of the Headset sitting on the ears -.

I got rid of the Plantronics model actually, not because of any fault of the 
Headset but rather because the cuffs around the ears didn't really suit my 
hearing requirements with
 my hearing instruments.
