Did you really mean $995?

Further to Jim's mention of these earphones, we bought one to try.
Turns out I have another version which is used in conjunction with
our FM training radios.

Your earlobe fits through a stiff plastic loop with the wire poking
out the back. They stay on your ear pretty securely. The ear piece is
much bigger than an ear bud. It is about an inch around and rests
over your ear. It would definitely obscure outside sound.

The sound is a bit hollow like listening through a pipe but not
objectionable for audio and the price at $995 is quite good. It is
just one ear piece.

    Well, an earphone.  Since there has been some discussion about
earphones here I thought I would share this.  I just got an
over-the-earphone from C Crane Company that works very well with
the voicenote and also the VR Stream.  It's on their website under
radio accessories and is called over the ear headphone speaker.  Cost

is $9.95

I tried to paste the link in below but it doesn't show up as a link.
Over The Ear Headphone Speaker
$9.95.  The thing is, it has a stereo 1/8 inch plug on it.  Earlier
models had a mono 1/8 inch plug so when you plugged it in to a
stereo plug such as those on the braillenote or VR Stream,  you
could hear  a noticeable drop  in the volume level.  This always
bothered me for that reason and for the fact that a mono plug in
effect shorts out one channel from  a stereo audio source. .
Anyway just wanted to pass this along.  The device hangs losely over
either ear, and, while I wouldn't advise wearing it while walking,
it does not interfere too much    with your hearing.  It is quite
loud with the braillenote and VR Stream.  I know this list is not
directly connected with the Humanware site but feel free to post
there if you want.
Best regards, Jim
