That's actually a very good point. I haven't used my Voyager Pro HD since I upgraded to IOS 8.x. Having said that, I am noticing John's issue on other BT devices using BT 2.1 or less on IOS 8.x. I would try to find a headset that supports BT 3.0 or even better 4.0 if any exist. The BT devices I ha

Yes, I've heard various reports of this happening though I'm quite sure why it does happen, thankfully I've never had it happen here which in itself is odd as I've used all iPhone models from the 3Gs and up and I've used literally dozens and dozens of different Bluetooth devices. On 6 Oct 2014

So long as the format is a Lossless one then I can't see any reason why the HD format wouldn't be supported though perhaps some Lossless formats may have limitations where sampling or byt depth is concerned. When you talk about Blue-Ray you're talking about video formats here, not sure what the

sorry, the minimum compression rate of MP3 I've seen is 32K, maximum I think you meant to say is 320K. With FLAC you can control the compression rate but that doesn't make any difference in audio quality, it just takes longer to compress the file the smaller it is and - even then - you don't ma

Well, the minimum compression you can do with mp3 is probably 320 kbps, which is still about 4 to 1, unless some encoders can do a higher bit rate than that. - Original Message - From: "Dane Trethowan" To: "PC Audio Discussion List" Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2014 2:21 PM Subject:

I think they do Bluray disks, but I think you can buy downloads too. I think they run one called itracks also, or maybe that's another one. I downloaded some of those free and legal shows from the Etree thing, and flac definitely has something to it that mp3's don't. - Original Message ---

It's a mono headset and is quite large compared to many others. The electronics of the headset are in the part that curves around the top of your ear. The speaker does not go in the ear but rather sits over your ear canal with a boom mic that swivels up and down. There are 3 buttons placed on the p

Excellent! I was thinking of getting one of these, the specs are very good so can you tell us a little about it before I place an order, is it in the ear or over the head, is it stereo etc. On 6 Oct 2014, at 4:50 am, Rick Alfaro wrote: > That is the headset that I currently own and use. The

That is the headset that I currently own and use. The sound is excellent both incoming and out-going. It also works well with Siri but does not announce incoming caller ID if that matters. Best regards, Rick Alfaro -Original Message- From: Pc-audio [mailto:pc-audio-boun...@pc-audio.org
