Hi all, First, Ray, after shopping around a bit and having no real recommendations for BlueTooth headphones at present, we're going with a good buy from our local John Lewis (strangely enough). I haven't yet found a solution to the "in bed" headphones but will look at Hagger Electronics when I decide what to use as my player. (That's for another thread, I guess!) <SMILE> I gather, by the way, that Senheiser's radio headphones are still really considered too bulky for sleeping . . . so I won't be listening to the computer selection from a distance! (Bit of a shame!) Thanks to all who offered help here. -- Carol carol.pearson@xxxxxxxxxxxx -----Original Message----- From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ray's Home Sent: Monday, December 05, 2005 3:42 PM To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: LIGHT WEIGHT, EXCELLENT QUALITY HEADPHONES Yes Carol, I too had this problem of not being able to try before buying with headphones. The guy at Dixons in Birmingham at the time, siad, "Well, like, not wanting to be personal, but you don't know what germs could be spread if I let you try them." Suppose, in spite of the unintentional or intentional slur, he could have had a point. Still you'd have thought demo phones could be an option with maybe anticeptic swobs but, well maybe that's getting too complicated. I'd certainly look at the Sennhieser range if I were you. I am pretty pleased still with my PX250 foldable lightweight noise cancelling phones. As for Blue Tooth, I look forward to any contributions that come in there.
