Computer Headsets May 28, 2008
Posted by admin in : Headphone , add a commentHeadsets have become an integral part of the computer. They are useful while chatting, for voice recognition, listening to music and gaming. Looks and the price are generally the only things considered while buying a headset. But most people do not realize that there are other aspects to a computer headset than just the basic functionality.
Use of computers in offices has become the norm, and this has increased the need for the right kind of equipment to accompany those computers. VoIP applications and video conferencing are two applications, which can be enhanced by the use of superior quality headsets. Use of headsets reduces neck, back and should strain considerably resulting in fewer workers’ compensation claims and increasing productivity.
There are two kinds of computer headset connections: analog and digital. Computer headsets that use the USB (Universal Serial Bus) technology are currently much in demand. USB technology is more advanced than the sound card. providing very good digital sound quality.
Aspects to be taken into account when buying a computer headset are: the external noise level; the cost of the headset and possible parts and repair costs and warranties, the brand, the product range available. Whether you need corded or wireless, the kind of ear piece (monaural/ binaural), the kind of phone or computer connection used with the headset (Bluetooth, USB, 3.5mm/ Analog), the compatibility (to music), the kind of computer usage (VoIP, Computer Gaming), the range of bass/treble, the power of the speakers, sound quality, durability and comfort.
The basic aspects to be considered while buying a computer headset are: is it comfortable? Does it stay securely in place for long hours? Is the microphone flexible and unobtrusive? Is the cord long enough for easy movement? Are the volume and other controls easily accessible? Is the sound quality on both the lines clear? Etc.
The leading manufacturers of headsets are Plantronics, GN Netcom, Headsets.com, Sennheiser, Jabra, and Sony. Headsets are also very inexpensive, depending on the kind of model. A good decent pair of headphones would cost around $10 though an extremely advanced model with all the works may go up to $150-$200 or beyond. The Internet is a good source for locating the ideal headset. There are several web sites that provide comprehensive information about the wide range of headsets available in the market today.
Headsets provides detailed information about headsets, wireless headsets, phone headsets, aviation headsets and more. Headsets is the sister site of Free Phone Conferencing.

Dynamite Comes in Small Packages - Tiny Personal Audio MP3 Players Pack Powerful Music Enjoyment May 26, 2008
Posted by admin in : Headphone , add a commentMP3 players are Hot! Playing music has come a long way since the transistor radio, portable tape and CD player days. Most players are no larger than a deck of cards. Eliminating the need to lug around tapes or CD’s, digital music players re-define convenience and portability.
Digital audio players provide crystal clear sound, from deepest lows to sharpest highs. But which player is right for you? Are you a serious audiophile who wants professional quality sound for your entire music collection? Would you be happy just playing your favorite tunes whenever you want, wherever you go? Or are you somewhere in between?
What’s the Best Music Player for You?
The two basic types of mp3 players, along with advantages and disadvantages, are:
- Solid-state flash memory players about the size of a pack of gum, these players are reasonably priced and very reliable with no moving parts and no music skips. Flash memory capacity from 64MB to 1GB has a limit of about 20 to 300+ songs.
- Micro-drive audio players a tiny internal hard drive, like the one in your computer has up to 60GB of memory. These players will hold thousands of songs, photos and other data. Vibration and shock can cause skips even with advanced anti-skip technology. The complexity of these players increases the price and puts more drain on the batteries.
Check these before choosing your mp3 player
- Batteries - some players have built-in rechargeables that may or may not be replaceable. Other players use standard replaceable AAA’s. Some players require battery replacement or recharging after only 4-6 hours, while others will last 30-50 hours.
- Headphones - personal music players come with small ear buds with sound quality from pretty good to marginal. They are convenient and comfortable, but your music will sound better with higher quality headphones.
- Features - search, repeat, random or shuffle play-back, FM receiver, format compatibility, ability to feed songs through a home stereo, and direct recording capability are some features to consider.
- Personal style - for occasional use and a limited playlist, an inexpensive flash player may be perfect. For a larger collection of songs and frequent use, a micro-drive player is probably your best choice.
