Re: looking for wifi headphones

[Nick Giannak]

Beware a few things.
First, WiFi headphones aren't actually WiFi. Wireless, yes. WiFi, 
definitely not as they have no need to join a WiFi network. Secondly, 
Sony wireless headphones have a 1 year parts warranty, but only ninety 
days labor, and the labor is important as the switches in the headbands 
tend to fail. Sony wireless headphones do not have a conventional power 
switch, rather, they turn on when you place the headphones on your head, 
and that switch goes bad. Avoid, avoid, avoid.
The best maker of wireless headphones, and honestly the only other 
major manufacturer, is Sennheiser. Look for them.

Hi

We are looking for recommendations on wifi headphones for
someone with hearing problems. My dad would like some
earphones that are wifi, they are light to wear, he wants to
use them on the tv, he has to have it really loud in order
to hear it, also he would like some that can filter out a
lot of the back ground sound, does anyone have any ideas
please? He specifically would like some like the old
stefascope design but I have not seen these in a long time.
Again they must be wifi and not cable as it would not be
practical, on amazon there are loads, it is hard to know
what to look for. Our neighbour has some, he plugs them into
the tv or connects them but it is still possible to hear the
tv even though the person is using headphones.

Re: I need help with a headphone model.

[Nick Giannak]

Oh dear God, the Pro4AA. I actually got the Pro4AAT headphones a while 
back, the titanium model. To say I was unhappy with them would be a 
serious understatement.
They were heavy, uncomfortable, and the cord end died in a year. I ended 
up replacing them with Sennheiser HD280PROs, which too had their 
relyability problems, but sounded a whole lot better. For construction, 
to me, you can't beat the AKG stuff, as it's built to adapt to the user 
instead of being totally ridged.

didn't pack the punch and have the oomph that the original and much
heavier double-A's did, but for higher-end 'phones, I think Koss makes
a nice product. Stay away from the cheap stuff, like the wired
Porta-Pros, because they fall apart eventually and don't sound like

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.

Re: Future Of The PC Audio List

[Nick Giannak]

The problem with Freelists from my point of view is the lack of control 
associated with it. Freelists is exactly that. A free service. You have 
no idea when it will suddenly go to crap, and then that's a waste of a 
list...and a new mailing address to remember because you've chosen to 
move some place else. The domain is just too valuable, and I'm honestly 
shocked that more hasn't been done with it.
If you moved to another webhost with mailman, there's transparency to 
the user. I firmly believe mailman is not at fault for the problems 
here. The webhost itself, on the other hand...

Re: Does Anyone Know About The Olympus LS14?

Re: Sonos Equipment

[Nick Giannak]

Dane,
I have very limited experience with Sonos equipment, but let me 
explain what I do know about it.
Yes, you need either an ethernet plug where you place your speaker, 
or a Sonos bridge. This is because it creates its own, peer to peer 
wireless mesh network, in order for it to be WiFi agnostic. This is why 
the Sonos stuff has very simple multi-room streaming and perfect audio 
syncing.
As far as the software...I could use it when I tried it in 
December. With some exceptions which i won't name as it has been a long 
time, I was able to play music, find internet radio stations, and found 
that in general, Sonos made sense to me as a blind user.

I hope this helps.

I was able to get a link to a very nice page detailing all the various Sonos 
speakers and Soundbars available and thought that the Play:1 might be nice in 
my kitchen on the counter.

So I'm wondering, do you need the Sonos Bridge to transmit to your Sonos 
equipment such as the Play:1 or is the Play:1 like an AirPlay device which just 
connects to your Wi-Fi network.

If you're prepared to spend a small amount of money you can buy one of

there's nothing at all stopping anyone from using the software if they 
see fit though that may mean that the software won't be able to play 
any audio/video formats that come our way in the future.

I recommend anyone who doesn't know what Foobar2000 is should take this class. 
I'm not teaching it, I don't have the patience, but I've been using Foobar2000 
since 2006 and it is, bar none, the most powerful yet lightest weight audio 
player available for Windows. Why do you want Foobar2000? First, you can taylor 
the interface to you, particularly in that you can have several different 
playlists open at once. If you want to be able to have a playlist containing 
all your favorite internet radio stations and another where you open things 
from Windows Explorer, you can do that.
  Foobar2000 also has best of breed support for regioned files. If you find 
yourself with a multi-regioned file, you actually get to see the regions like a 
playlist. This is beautiful for Ogg Vorbis internet radio broadcasters like 
myself, who use the Oddcast/Edcast/Altacast archiving ability, which does 
create a file with all those regions. The recall is amazing.
  Speaking of streaming, I don't know of any better player for streaming 
audio. Winamp has nothing on Foobar, because Winamp doesn't even come close to 
just how robust Foobar2000 is at streaming without buffering. If you're 
listening to a stream with Foobar2000 and it's buffering, then you can be sure 
that it's the stream's fault or your connections. Not Foobar's.
  That's just some of the reasons you guys should actually consider Foobar.

Re: Fwd: Foobar 2000 class begins October 1

[Nick Giannak]

I recommend anyone who doesn't know what Foobar2000 is should take this 
class. I'm not teaching it, I don't have the patience, but I've been 
using Foobar2000 since 2006 and it is, bar none, the most powerful yet 
lightest weight audio player available for Windows. Why do you want 
Foobar2000? First, you can taylor the interface to you, particularly in 
that you can have several different playlists open at once. If you want 
to be able to have a playlist containing all your favorite internet 
radio stations and another where you open things from Windows Explorer, 
you can do that.
Foobar2000 also has best of breed support for regioned files. If 
you find yourself with a multi-regioned file, you actually get to see 
the regions like a playlist. This is beautiful for Ogg Vorbis internet 
radio broadcasters like myself, who use the Oddcast/Edcast/Altacast 
archiving ability, which does create a file with all those regions. The 
recall is amazing.
Speaking of streaming, I don't know of any better player for 
streaming audio. Winamp has nothing on Foobar, because Winamp doesn't 
even come close to just how robust Foobar2000 is at streaming without 
buffering. If you're listening to a stream with Foobar2000 and it's 
buffering, then you can be sure that it's the stream's fault or your 
connections. Not Foobar's.
That's just some of the reasons you guys should actually consider 
Foobar.

Re: LS7 OR LS100?

[Nick Giannak]

None of these are marketed as dictation recorders. The DM520 is, and the 
LS7 sounds almost identical to it, thus I call it a glorified dictation 
recorder. In effect, I am saying, ehre and now, that for professional 
field recordings, especially with anything like higher output mics, the 
LS7 is a failure.

And provide encryption for security. As to which one to buy, it 
depends on what you need. If you don't require truly professional 
sound, the LS-7 is inexpensive and sounds quite good. The LS-100 is 
better, but you'll pay for it, and I don't know if the multitrack 
function is accessible.

How about neither?
The LS7 was nothing more than a glorified dictation recorder. I 
should know, I've seen them, and they were not all that dissimilar to 
my DM520, which was a dictation recorder.
the LS100 is good for musicians, and was a trendsetter for 
Olympus recorders. It is very good...and expensive, of course. If we 
could all afford them, we'd all own them, because they are very, very 
flexable.
How about the LS14? The LS14 is exactly what would happen if the 
Olympus LS7 and LS100 had a kid. In general, it's the LS100 in 
miniature, but it has the tresmic system from the LS7, but most 
importantly, the LS100's microphone preamps, or very similar thereof. 
It handles high output microphones very well, it's got smart mode 
which is really awesome (check the website), and it does it at a $199 
that won't break the bank too hard.

Thanks,
