Wireless Bluetooth 2.1 Speakers

Sandy Cheeks writes "The Saitek A-250 Wireless 2.1 Speaker System made a stong impression when showcased at this year's CES with its sleek styling and rather impressive performance... The compact boomerang shaped device can provide 2.1 stereo sound up to 30 meters away from a source PC, and can alternatively be used hard wired to any other audio source with an 1/8" stereo jack output."

Wireless Electricity

[otisg]

I've got wireless speakers at home, have had them for about a year, and I love them. Now I'm waiting for wireless electricity and I'll be set! I'm not joking. Batteries are ok, they last a few months, but they get weak with time, so you have to keep turning up the volume.

I recommend that you rent "Back to the Future" for pointers on how to get yourself going there. Doc had a pretty good flux capacitor modded up, not sure if you can get it still, though. Maybe try Newegg?

"made a stong impression"

I just can't keep up with all this new technobable lingo. I have no idea what a stong is!

Re:Obvious feature missing...

[Rob T Firefly]

As much as I'd love to walk around the house with dangling a set of wireless speakers from my wired headphones, I think bluetooth headphones are probably the way to go for that sort of thing.

Bluetooth IS Wireless, last time I checked

[ziani]

Does "wired" Bluetooth exist? Maybe I missed a press release.

Just wondering.

Re:Awesome. Now do the same for headphoens.

[DrXym]

For now, the headphone market seems something like this: wireless, portable, stylish. Pick two.

Problem is that "wireless" headphones require yet another dock / charger cluttering your desk in order to work. So they're not really wireless at all. And those rechargeable batteries make the head set bulk. Look forward to strange looks as people wonder if you're attending a Dr Who convention dressed as a cyberman.

Re:"True digital-delivery" ?

"...I'm fairly up to speed on signal processing and such, but what exactly is "true digital-delivery"? How does it differ from "false digital-delivery" (if there is such a thing)? I can't say that I have *ever* heard this phrase before...."

Waall, it's quite simple, really.

Your true digital delivery is the preferred, high-quality system used by well respected manufacturers like Sony, Marantz, Technics, Panasonic etc. In this system, a true value is represented by a "1", while a false is represented by a "0".

This is not the case with disreputable and lesser manufacturers such as "Tecknichs", "Somy", "Panisonic" - you know, the real dregs who prey on folk with poor reading skills (ie. US high school graduates). Well, they are too damn cheap to license true digital delivery technology and so they're forced to use the inferior false digital delivery. In the false system, a false is represented by a "1", while a true value is represented by a "0". This is obviously backwards and wrong, hence the reduction in sound quality when compared to the far-superior true-delivery system.

T&K.
