Yes Dave the noise cancelling phones are good. I tried them in the shop but I bought the ones which were slightly cheaper. Very light and a good sound. I mean to try the Boselinks in the shop sometime before buying it if I decide.

Hi Ron, I hadn't heard of Bose link before, but I have just looked at it and sounds very interesting. Apparently you can play two music streams, which would be handy. to be honest, I listen to most of my music and use my MacBook with voice over through Bose noise cancelling headphones. These are very hard to beat, and especially when using Voice over, means no one else has to hear it. Not cheap, but worth every penny. HD TV is wasted on us, but at least we can treat ourselves to good sound quality. Cheers Regards Dave Ankers Hi Dave, yes I have heard this in the shop in fact my son has one. Do you know anything about the Boselink system?

Hi Ron, It is the Bose Sound dock speaker system. We dock either the I pod or I phone into it, or connect my Nokia N91 or MacBook using a 3.5mm connector cable. It's not very big, so take it to your PC. Cheers Dave Ankers Dave, are you talking about the Boselink system? I have been thinking along these lines for some time and the option to spread the payments is a plus. Mind you VAT has made it more expensive now. Does this work wirelessly? My computer is upstairs and my music system is downstairs.

Hi Scott, I bought it direct from Bose online, it cost £250 with the payments spread over 5 months interest free. Cheers Regards Dave Ankers Hi Dave, Where did you get your Bose system and what did it cost mate? thanks Scott ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ankers, Dave (UK)" <Dave.Ankers@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> To: <access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, January 06, 2011 4:59 PM Subject: [access-uk] Re: suggestions for an accessible modern music system please. > Hmmm I don't understand why you would need two. > > Are you both listening to different music at the same time through > head phones? > > With Voice over enabled the Ipod is accessible to you both and the > Ipod can be controlled using the Bose remote control. > > Should you have/acquire an I phone, that can be used as well. > > The Bose speaker system also takes other inputs using a 3.5mm jack. > > I plug my Nokia N91 and MacBook into the Bose speakers too. > > With the Nokia I use TALKS and the MacBook has Voice over, so > everything is accessible. > > The way things are going, you won't be able to purchase CD's and DVD's > on the high street soon. > > HMV are closing 60 of their stores. > > The writing is on the wall, > > Cheers > > Dave Ankers > > Hi Dave thanks for your reply. > > If the system I wanted was for portable use then your suggestion would > be perfect, but all I'm after is something similar to what I have but > with the two tape decks removed and replaced with a multi CD player. > This would be for home use, but I really want it accessible as I'd > like both my wife and I to use it and my wife is totally blind and I > have limited sight, and your idea of an IPod would mean we had to have > one each wouldn't' it? > > Alexander Shannon > > > ** To leave the list, click on the immediately-following link:- > ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe] > ** If this link doesn't work then send a message to: > ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx > ** and in the Subject line type > ** unsubscribe > ** For other list commands such as vacation mode, click on the > ** immediately-following link:- > ** [mailto:access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx?subject=faq] > ** or send a message, to > ** access-uk-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the Subject:- faq > > > > ******************************************************************** > This email and any attachments are confidential to the intended > recipient and may also be privileged.
