Music while I work (out) with the Nokia BH-604 Headset

Advantages: good battery life, same charger as many nokia phone models, good sound
Disadvantages: a bit heavy, large

...I had been looking for a pair of wireless stereo headphones for a while so I could use them with my mobile phone at the gym, and round the office. Not being tethered to something with a wire is obviously quite important for at the gym! Over the ear Bluetooth stereo headsets seem to be quite hard to find, so when this was on Amazon at a reasonable price, I leapt at the chance. I use this headset with my Nokia mobile phone which is the source of the music... Of course, you don't have to have a Nokia phone, just one that supports Bluetooth wireless headsets! The item arrived with a Nokia standard charger (the new size with the tiny connector), a protective cloth bag for the headphones, the headphones (obviously) and a printed manual. The headphones have various buttons on the right earpiece for controlling the phone - answer a call...

Review of Nokia BH-604 Headset

Nokia HS-4W Bluetooth Headset

Advantages: Easy to use and connect
Disadvantages: Other people can hear what you say

...The best thing I found with the headset was how easy it was to connect to my phone (nokia 6230). The clarity whilst having conversations is great and the the way it fits onto my ear was confortable. If you have any problems using it, the manual provided has the answers. The biggest disadvantage of the headset is that other people can hear your conversation. The reason for this is that the headset can be used on your left or right ear, and has a speaker on each side. This is not so bad if you turn the volume setting to low. The headset can be charged using most nokia chargers and doesn't take too long to charge. The headset can also be used with more than one phone. I believe it was a good buy. I bought the headset to use whilst driving, and it does exactly what I expected. I can keep the phone in my pocket and answer any call...

Review of Nokia HS 4W Headset

Great Headset

Advantages: Clear sound
Disadvantages: None

...the headset can be worn both ways without affecting the comfort and the quality of the microphone. The rubberized microphone can be adjusted near or away from the mouth without really moving the headband. Logitech Dialog 812 Headset's microphone is durable. My toddler used to bite it. It has tiny teeth marks but it still functions great. The Cord The cord of Logitech Dialog 812 Headset is attached in a one side of the earpiece. It is quite comfortable for me to wear the headset without tangles compared to other headsets that have the "Y" wire design. The length of the cord is considerably long with its 3.94 feet length that I don't have to lean on the computer table when I use it. I can just sit back and do my online conversation comfortably. Specifications * Product Description: Logitech Dialog 812 - headset * Product Type: Headset...

Man on a Wire

Advantages: Grity US drama
Disadvantages: The bc are showing them to close together

...80% of the recent so-called US sub prime debt was run up by black Americans, the last group in America to be cynically offered credit to keep those erroneous bonuses coming in for those greedy bankers, the city of Baltimore (65% black) and the setting for 'The Wire' a classic case study of who's bearing the brunt of the consequences, that contrast between poverty and wealth in Baltimore one of the reasons why the show is so authentic, that financial, criminal and political aphartied of the city dissected here through David Simons brilliant script. The banks knew the black families didn't have a cent but offered them 110% mortgages at high interest rates they could never pay back. City authorities are suing the Wells Fargo Bank for the so called 'ghetto loans' because they now have to pick up the pieces now the bubble has burst all over...

XBL COMMUNICATION HEADSET FTW!

Advantages: Value for money.
Disadvantages: Some problems.

...that incident I have found you can do a lot with them without them breaking. Alternatives Alternatively you can purchase a wireless headset for £39.99, this is a major ouch seen as the wired ones are far cheaper. I have personally tried the wireless one and I found it to be too heavy when attached to my ear, so I will stick with the wired ones! Price The price of this item if you don?t get it with your console is relatively cheap with a recommended RRP of £9.99 however new ones can be picked up on eBay for as little as £4.50 which is a bargain! I think this item is worth buying if you like communicating with others and it does enhance your game play tactics, as well as being able to send messages to your friends. Conclusion In conclusion this is a product I would recommend as it has excellent design, is easy...

Man on wire - 1360 feet up over downtown Manhattan

Advantages: A compelling tale told with warmth and humour by those who lived it
Disadvantages: Unnecessary "reconstruction" scenes used over voiceovers

...of this man, who I considered to be a clown, walking on a wire 1,368 feet off the ground. Of course in childhood that number means nothing ? in fact despite the TV coverage Frenchman Phillipe Petit?s feat received in 1974, it wasn?t until I saw the twin towers for myself on my first visit to New York 25 years later that I realised just how high up he had been, and perhaps he wasn?t just a clown after all. ?Man on Wire? is a documentary that explains how Petit came to perform this highwire walk on the 7th of August 1974. And while the star of the show is always Petit, it explains how he was able to pull off the stunt with the help of a motley crew of helpers. Phillipe Petit had been training for the walk for years. Right at the start of ?Man on Wire? he retells reading about these new towers that were being built in Manhattan in a newspaper...

Review of Man On Wire

Microsoft XBOX 360 wireless headset

Advantages: Great looks, handy charge cable included
Disadvantages: Not great sound quality, no play and charge facility

...The microsoft xbox 360 wirless headset is very attractive and fits the ear very well - at least it fits mine anyway. The headset isnt particularly good at picking up quiet speech though, which is often a let down during games that require alot of detailed communication for tactics such as Gears Of War 2 or Call Of Duty WAW. The headset is priced at £34.99 RRP, which i think is quite reasonable for what you're getting. The headset comes with full instructions and a charge cable that plugs into the 360's USB point. It cannot be used in a play-and-charge situation which gets annoying so you have to leave it overnight to charge. It is mcuh less cumbersom that the various wired headsets on the market and has a good range using the 360's infra red technology system. There is a small silver button on the side used to turn the headset...

Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset

Advantages: Long Lasting, Small
Disadvantages: Must Be Charged

...Microsoft Official Xbox 360 Wireless Headset This Xbox 360 wireless headset is definitely a long lasting microphone, which is quite durable. One thing which I like about this headset is that its much more comfortable to wear compared to the original Xbox 360 Headset. Another advantage about this headset is that its wireless so you don't need to bother with any wires. The only disadvantage about this product is that it has to be charged. The battery life for this wireless Headset is about 8 hours and it takes about 3 hours to charge fully. You can use this wireless headset to listen and talk to your friend on Xbox Live. I paid £35 for my wireless headset and it was well worth the money. I recommend this product to all potential buyers....

Nokia N97 - 'The new iPhone'

Advantages: 32gb Internal Memory, Nice Looking, Full QWERTY Keyboard, 5 MP Camera
Disadvantages: A Little Bulky, Price, Small Processer Makes The Phone Slow

... Intro Being the previous owner of a Sony Ericsson w850 for over 2 years, I decided that it was time for a mobile phone upgrade. I had a few different phones in mind, the Apple iPhone, Nokia N97, Nokia 5800 Xpress Music and the HTC Touch Pro, in the end I chose to buy the new Nokia N-Series phone. It was a clear choice over the iPhone because of the price, also you do not have to buy the phone AND pay a monthly contract fee with the N97. Buying The Phone After choosing the phone I decided that I wanted to switch to contract instead of pay as you go. At the time the phone was only available on the Vodafone and Orange networks, but I believe that you can get it on most major networks now. I had previously been with Orange and wasn't too impressed with their service, so I chose Vodafone, they also had better deals for the N97...

Wire in the Blood

Advantages: Great TV
Disadvantages: The worst of the five series

...The BBC`s rather bold policy of showing five series of The Wire back-to-back during the spring and summer evenings is very welcome as it annoying, and certainly all rather frantic if you want to keep up, video tapes piling up by our TVs as the excellent American cop series goes out at that post Newsnight, BBC2, 11:15pm weekday slot. It's a complete mystery why they didn't put it on the 9 pm weekday slot to build its popularity and so drag it out for two years it's that good and intelligent viewing for that anti-ITV prime-time slot. Series one reflected the Black American drug culture of the City of Baltimore, through the eyes of the police, the legislature, the local politicians and the black criminal underclass themselves, their methods not that different from the good guys in getting the job done, whoever the good guys are...
