- not at all "high fidelity"
Don't think for a moment that you're going to get high fidelity sound with these headphones. You're better off buying a small mp3 player/fm tuner with wired headphones. Some of them even allow you to wear the device on your arm, getting you most of the freedom that these "wireless headphones" offer. I bought these as a Christmas present for my wife, and we're both very unhappy with the sound. Also, the 900mhz frequency was of some concern, and it turns out to have been with good reason. We have a 900mhz cordless phone which uses "DSS" (digital spread spectrum; it does frequency hopping). It turns out that the headphones pick up a very frequent "click" noise which must be a result of the cordless phone's transmitter going past the same certain frequency over and over again. But even ignoring that issue, the sound is just not what we're used to from our mid-range consumer stereo and other experiences listening to consumer grade walkmen, cd players, and corded headphones on our hi-fi.

- Sounds great, but needs a little help
I had read the reviews where people were mentioning trouble with static in the headphones. I found that mine were shipped with the wrong transformer. Mine came with a 12v/100mA transformer, but the back of the transmitter shows that it needs 18v. Also the low amperage will increase the hissing. I got a generic 18v/300mA transformer at the store and now the hissing noise is gone and I can listen to anything I want with the volume up or down. I hope this helps.

- Nothing wrong with these at all...
Fine sound, good reception over a decent range (looks like I can get around the yard without them making any big complaints), comfortable.

I would say that the fidelity is only slightly less than the earbuds I'm used to. And the separation is better than I expected. There is a fair amount of hiss if no music is on, but I'm pretty picky and I think its totally tolerable.

- Pretty Good
These headphones are very great, But if you don't have it tuned correctly they can be a huge pain. You see the tuning must be changed for how much power is in the batteries I can walk around the house without having to lug around a big walkman bulging in my panys pocket or paying tons for a mp3 player. It comes with 3 AAA rechargeable batteries or you can go to the local food store and buy some nice non-rechargeable batteries. The manual tuning my be a hassle but once you've got it down it doesn't matter. These headphones are great for listening to music and T.V. but be prepared to adjust it a few times.

Rating:

- Extremely Comfortable
I've used it for a little while now, and my wife confiscates it all the time to listen while she's doing housework.

Sound quality is great. Leans a little toward the low frequency side, but I can't be sure it's not my sources.

Adobe-Macromedia: Separating Fact from Fiction

The proposed acquisition of Macromedia by Adobe is not a done deal. Both companies are under the scrutiny of the SEC, and it must also be approved by stockholders. While Macromedia/Adobe gives this process three to nine months, some industry analysts feel that is being overly optimistic. But assuming that all is goes as planned, Macromedia will cease to exist. Everything will be in the Adobe name and with the Adobe interface.

Wee-Fi: Virgin America Formal Launch, Heathrow Coach-Fi, Laptop Recovery

Virgin America formally launches: Last week, Virgin America offered free Wi-Fi on its single Internet-equipped aircraft, My Other Ride's a Spaceship. Today, the service goes commercial ($10 for flights 3 hours or shorter; $13 for longer flights), and the rollout to other planes begins. Virgin has a special URL--http://wifitracker.virginamerica.com/--that takes you to a tracking page showing which flights in progress have Wi-Fi, but they don't yet tell you how to determine whether a given flight you'll be on will offer the service. With 24 planes and a plan to add service one per week, that shouldn't be a problem for long.

Heathrow Airport Coach Link adds Internet service: Icomera, a leading transportation Wi-Fi firm, has added free Wi-Fi to FirstGroup's RailAir coach service that connects Heathrow Airport with Reading in England. RailAir runs every 20 minutes for a 50-minute route. FirstGroup handles 3 million passengers a day across all its routes, which makes it a plum market for future expansion.

Awareness Technologies adds Wi-Fi positioning for laptop recovery: Awareness is the latest firm to partner with Skyhook Wireless to use Wi-Fi positioning to its products, in this case Laptop Cop, software designed to aid in recovery. The software starts at $50 for a 1-year license, with discounts for quantity.
