Re: wireless headphones

I would be interested in this.

Any reason why you couldn't use one of these " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; - with a 3.5mm adaptor.

Along with a bluetooth headset - which could either be a stereo headset or ear piece.

I appreciate there might be a slight lag but is it really that bad?

Hello mark, that would be an ideal solution but from many who have gone down the bluetooth route have found its not really suitable unfortunately as it does lag :(

If anyone knows different please let us know ::g

Cheers

Interesting this one " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; (which has good reviews) someone mentioned they use it for playing games on there tablet. If there was a lag that wouldn't work so I wonder if things have got better?

Interesting - couldnt see it for that price.

Annoying of course if you already have bluetooth headsets / headphones. I just tried an old pair of bluetooth headphones with my iPad and there was no lag (watching a film) - I know this isn't a great comparison because the bluetooth module is probably far more sophisticated but does prove it can be done lag free.

I don't normally wear the headphones because I look like I have pat butchers earrings on when I wear them :D

They're a lot better/stronger than they look & have volume control also! ::g

I have the ones at play. Got the price very good. About 5 hrs use on a full charge. Only small but u find them perfect. No lag either. For a cheap solution they are ideal. ::g

I bought these wireless earphones about 9 months ago and they are great. You charge them up thru any usb device, and they last about 4-5 hours then give you a warning about a minute or two before they go flat. A word of advice, put some gaffer tape over the charging socket of the receiver, because when u lay your detector down to inspect a hole it can get mud and water in. Then it goes wrong. I had to pick out a load of mud with a pin, but its ok now...
