Hi Alan, No offence taken. As for using this in the wind. I have not tried that. As for compression, given what I said earlier about my thought that they try to cancel out some lower frequencies as well as certain other frequencies, I think it will depend on the voice as to whether it is an acceptable sound. I'm not trying to pass the buck here. Microphone sound, especially when it is compressed, is a very personal thing. I would be happy to Skype with you and use it if that would help. Let me know off list if interested.

That having been said, I would be concerned about over compression on the mike. How is it in windy situations? This isn't a cheap ear peace so I'm trying to line up all my ducks first. And, thank you for sharing your experiences. When I said I couldn't care less about recording, I didn't mean it to sound argumentative so please don't take it that way. We've had a friendly relationship for many a year for that. ----- Original Message ----- From: Neal Ewers <mailto:neal.ew...@ravenswood.org> To: viphone@googlegroups.com Sent: Sunday, May 19, 2013 9:39 AM Subject: RE: Bluetooth Ear Peace Recommendations Wanted First, it only works on Skype and phone. You cannot use it for any recording apps. Second. Whenever I use it, people always know. It sounds very compressed. They try to do so much noise canceling, that much of my voice is canceled as well. I think it would work better for a female voice, but one of the things that is often done when doing voice canceling is to remove low frequencies. I have a lot of those in my voice, so it just doesn't work for me.

It's nice not to have to interpret yet another set of beeping noises. It also doesn't totally block sound from coming into your ear. I can't stand it's microphone, but for listening, it is very nice.

I started out with a Plantronics 520 ear peace. It beeps when it gets paired and beeps if it gets disconnected. It's very comfortable to wear all day and delivers up to 8 hours talk time and 10 days in standby mode. It was around 40 bucks if you caught it on special. I liked it so well, when my son was looking for an ear peace for his smart phone, I bought him one for Christmas a couple of years ago. The ear peace is reliable and is reasonably free of wind noise. He didn't like it saying it fell off his ear to easily. I guess he has weird ears. I have never found that to be true and it just sits inside the ear canal rather then to go far into the ear which means it still lets outside sounds in so you can still read traffic. I lost mine. Where or how I know not and I was really ticked off with myself that I did lose it. My son sense he didn't like it gave me his so good on me for getting one. A friend of his got him a really nice one with like 3 mikes . Why it needs that many is beyond me but there you are. I'd like one of the newer ones that talk saying things like connect or not connected etc. If anybody has any recommendations I'd love to hear them. ----- Original Message ----- From: Raul A.

In any case, I took my Plantronics M50 head phone, or rather, ear piece since it's for a single ear, with me, and somewhere between leaving the Chris Cole center and the Greyhound bus I lost it. I don't know if I dropped it out of my shirt pocket when I took something else out of it, or if I took it off and just left it there in the station. In any case, today I went out for some personal life things and really missed having the ear piece with me. So, now I find myself at Amazon, ready to purchase a replacement M50, but then am thinking that since I love exploring new items and trying out new things, maybe I should get a different kind. Then when I think of this I have second and third thoughts because I really like the M50. It's super light, has decent enough volume, and since I mainly use it for VoiceOver and Audio book or podcast listening, I am hesitant to buy another different brand. I've looked at this list's archives and see a few other models people have recommended, but I'm still not sure. I guess there is no point to this message other than saying that if you get used to something and then you don't have it, you will know how much you really liked it if you miss it a lot. -- Raul A.
