I walk down the street listening to my mp3 player frequently - assuming I know where I'm going and I'm not in unfamiliar surroundings. My guide dog is great. I tend to stop listening to pay attention when I'm crossing the road though. --------- Original Message -------- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To: "access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx" <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Subject: [access-uk] Re: ZENSTONE - IN THE EAR HEADPHONES Date: 04/07/07 11:50 Surely for a totally blind person to wear headphones of any type while walking in the street is extremely silly as far as I am concerned. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ian Macrae" <ian.macrae@xxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Wednesday, July 04, 2007 12:40 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: ZENSTONE - IN THE EAR HEADPHONES Carol, there are the Zennheizer in-ear ones which are sold by Tapesense. Creative themselves sell a pair of in-ear noise reducing headphones. It's worth saying that these fit pretty snugly and claim to knock out about 90% of ambient noise. They certainly do kill a lot of it, and for that reason may not necessarily be what a totally blind person needs or wants. I've used them on the Tube with both the Stone and the text reader on my courier and they are very effective. But my wife is rather anxious about me using them in the street. They're sold under the Creative Zen brand and cost around £40. -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Carol Pearson Sent: 04 July 2007 12:26 To: Access UK Mailing List Subject: [access-uk] ZENSTONE - IN THE EAR HEADPHONES Hi all, What headphones are folk using with the Zenstone that are similar but better quality to the Zen's supplied headphones. Ideally I need them just slightly smaller and with a bit of padding and to fit right in the ear. Any suggestions would be most welcome.
