[Electronics-Talk] Good Bluetooth earphones for everyday use

[Annette Carr]

Pam,

You are correct, there are such things as induction loops and they have
nothing to do with this.  They are used with hearing aids.

Well, there are things called induction loops.  And I think that is correct.

But I don't know if that has to do with this.  Pam.

When I first read about them being demonstrated at that electronics show in
Vegas, they used the word induction.
So I guess Popular Mechanics got the name wrong.  But anyway.
Andy, how's the bass quality, and does it vary from model to model?
I'm sure the higher the price the better the bass and sound.  Like all
things.

>> Hi Sandi,
>>
>> I recently tried out someone's bone conduction headphones and was very
>> impressed.  They were very comfortable and the sound quality was 
>> excellent
>> for listening to voice over and phone calls.  My friend wears them all 
>> day
>> long and says they are fine for listening to BARD and BookShare books on 
>> the
>> go as well as music, but you cannot compare them to a high quality pair 
>> of
>> headphone that are made to block out environmental noise to give you the
>> ultimate music listening experience.  My friend has the lower priced 
>> model
>> and it has held up well.  They have since come out with a "Sport" model,
>> which does cost more money, but is moisture proof so maybe well worth it.

>> I
>> have a moderate hearing loss and I was impressed with how well I could 
>> hear
>> through the bone conduction headphones.  They are on my wish list along

>> HTH,

>> Good day to you all. I am considering buying a pair of Bluetooth 
>> earphones.
>>
>> These will be primarily used with a mac book pro at uni during lectures

>> tutorials, and my smartphone. The aim is for me to be able to hear the
>> screen reader from my laptop and smartphone while at the same time not
>> blocking the outside sounds. I am hoping that I will be able to use them 
>> all
>> day. I am just tired of having to bring my smartphone close to my face 
>> every
>> time I want to use it just to hear its screen reader.
>>
>> There are two pairs of Bluetooth earphones that seem to be able to do 
>> this:
>> The LG Tone Platinum and the Treks Titanium by AfterShokz.
>>
>> The Trekz Titanium use bone conduction technology, so they do not block 
>> your
>> ears. In the other hand, the LG are worn as a neckless and the earphones
>> retract and into the tiny band that goes around your neck.
>>
>> Does anybody have any experience with either of these two products? or 
>> are
>> there other products that I should be looking at?
>>
>> Thanks for any help.
>>
>> Kind regards
>> Santi
