An empire in decline?

A device no one needs?

Best use by a reviewer on amazon.

Some one uses it to listen to talk radio / music on a blutooth headset (like you would use for a phone) because it still looks professional, (like they are working to the bosses) and the reviewer doesn't have to keep taking headphones off when someone walks up to their desk.

Heh.

Oh, the amazon link:

It is $38 there.

I have been wanting one of these outies for a while to keep my old XM myfi alive.

Making a cassette player bluetooth is pretty sweet.

I'm looking for a means to wirelessly transmit audio from my TV to a headset so I may watch VOD while my wife sleeps. Reading up on reviews of this product I found that unfortunately BT will not be my solution as the lag will make any video seem like an old school martial arts movie... I'll have to stick with my 20' 3.5mm extension cable for now.

I have one of these. It is one of the most wonderful things in the world. I've had mine since 2010, and I use it for eight hours a day, every single day. I plug it into a radio with a headphone jack and transmit to a Bluetooth headset. (My workplace does not allow either audible radios or visible headphones, but Bluetooth headsets are perfectly acceptable.) It transmits a good 30 feet, and I don't have to carry whatever is playing around with me. Granted, it isn't audiophile-quality, but, for what I'm listening to, I don't care. I just bought one of these as a backup - if my main one (which I paid $60 for in 2010, mind you) dies, I'll definitely want to have a backup.

I read that review. I find that in a professional setting, I would rather talk to someone who takes their headset off (ie. I have their full attention) rather than finding out later that they had a headset hidden the whole time. "Were they really listening to my request? Should I have to follow up with an email?" Uncertainty ensues.

Just bought it for that reason... I wish I would have read the same review before pulling the trigger.

That might be my review. :-)

I think it's a great idea, since you are right headphones wouldn't work, but a small one-ear headset is unobtrusive.

Personally, if the person focuses on me and is paying attention, I assume they are listening.

I would much rather have someone listening to music in one ear than random people walking around talking to thin air.

This is exactly what I wanted this for & it works perfectly, synced up with the Jaybird b/t headset & my wife isn't disturbed by the silence except when I laugh out loud at something on tv. I don't have any lag time for sound, you may have to tell your tv that your using an external sound device.

I take it off if I'm having a conversation with someone - it is distracting, yes. But it comes of with a quick smooth grab, and taking a BT headset off is no big deal.
