Re: bose speakers
The Bose campanion 2 speakers are adiquate for computers I have had them and they don't take up very much room on your desk. They cost about a hundred dollars.

I understand that Bose makes some quite small speakers wit Unbelievable sound. Has anybody had experience with these and are they adequate enough that a person could get along without a woofer? Thanks for any info on the subject. Bud Schwab W 6 Z Y P Malibu, California
Re: looking for wifi headphones
Try plantronics headphones they sound great for music in stereo iI don't about how they would sound with the tv audio they have flat controls like pannels that you push. The mike is not that great but if you don't need it they should be just fine. I like the corded version of the plantronics as I am not afand of wireless devices but thats just my opinion They cost about 100 dollars I hope this helps.

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.

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. Thomson whp3001bk wifi headphones Regards Adrien

longwave radio
I use to have radio shaak dx400 radio and would tune leftof the am broadcast band from 150-540 or so and the only thing that I have ever heard on this band was those 3 letter cw becons and weather and this was on a long wire antanna and this was back in the 80's. In 1986 I went toEurop and they did broadcast on this band but it was in their own langueges. I think that those 3 letter cw stations might be airport navagation stations and this is my experiences with the long wave band. Brian Sackrider On 6/7/2014 6:19 AM, Colin Howard wrote: Dane, No, they are not taking it off air in 2016, 2020 at the very very earliest. Do you want a long wave scan or just samples of stations? I am quite happy to do a scann for you, waiting on each station for a few minutes, but please be aware, I am located only three miles from the local transmitter which carries A.M services and we get some imaging at the hf end of long wave. As for sets being sold with long wave, I am not aware of any lack, certainly down here in Hampshire. Radio 4 is on 198kHz and RTE1 (or is it 2)? is on 252kHz. R4 is reasonable but again, suffers problems due to the local A.M transmitter, primarily because we have Talk Sport on 1107kHz which generates a hetrodyne on 198kHz, I have not yet found a radio which totally nulls this, if you care to work it out, 1107 minus 198 = more or less double the i.f of many sets, i.e 909, most sets have an i.f of 465, 455 is half 909, rather close to the i.f of 465, which most sets tend to use, least those which have a.m on the lf and mf bands. RTE on 252 here, is not very strong, but then being on the south coast, the signal not really being very strong from the transmitter, it not really a surprise.
listen to music in surrround sound
Hi this is Brian Sackrider and it is a matter of prefference on how to listen to music if you listen toyour music in stereo or in surround sound that is your prefference. I used to have a pioneer surround sound system it was the htp 55 and I did like to listen to music in surround sound I liked the concert hall effect and all of the seperation and the acoostic effects. in my opinion that is the only to listen to music in full surround sound you just can't get that kind of sound from stereo speakers iI do like to hear good stereo speakers but there is no compearason to listening to music in surroundsound. On 5/26/2014 2:54 AM, Dane Trethowan wrote: You're right, they don't like surround-sound and they do have a point. Surround-Sound systems are not designed for pure music listening, you're better off with a good stereo amp and a good pair of stereo speakers for doing things like that and here's their point, for the cost of a surround-sound system you can buy better sound stereo amp and speakers. In short, surround-sound is for entertaining and enjoyable listening. On 26 May 2014, at 4:52 pm, Gary Wood wrote: Well it's too bad some people are like that. I don't think audiophiles would like surround sound. Someone told me once that when you add more speakers to the mix with surround sound, there is some loss of quality. Heck, I even used to use a graphics equalizer with one piece of equipment I had, but when I bought surround sound, the equalizer made things sound distored, so I quit using it. Audiophiles don't like graphic equalizers. - Original Message - From: "Hamit Campos" To: "'PC Audio Discussion List'" Sent: Sunday, May 25, 2014 8:49 AM Subject: RE: Bose Soundlink 3 I know audiophiles don't like them.

The products are reasonable at worst and the company is very good to deal with, or it is here at any rate. I've been able to try before I buy the products I have in my own home, there was one product I didn't like and I told Bose so after the trial, they made arrangements to pick the product up from me and I was given a refund of the purchase price, no questions asked. I had a problem with my Bose Soundlink Air and a pickup of the old and delivery of the new replacement was arranged, again no questions asked, no hitches etc, I just had to identify who I was.

It costs $300. I saw one briefly last evening at the Verizon store, as I was purchasing my new iPhone and was pretty impressed with the sound, given the size of the box. I really haven't looked all that much in to this sort of speaker. I have an older dock that works with the older style iPhone connectors, and it really sounds pretty good, but my better half has sort of taken it over for use in his class-room. So I'd like to know from those who have experienced this equipment, what did you think, and are there other units you'd recommend as good competition? I like the size and the volume and depth of sound, but am not thrilled with the $300 price tag, naturally.
