Sounds of Silence

Amphony's wireless Model 1000 headset lets you keep your tunes to yourself.

By Michael S. Lasky, PCW Print   

The cranky guy in the next cubicle is always asking me to turn down my PC speakers. What satisfies him, however, leaves me listening to Bruce Springsteen singing at a bare whisper--which is completely unacceptable. Headphones offer a private listening solution, but the cord always seems to be either tangled or not long enough. To the rescue comes Amphony's $129 Model 1000, a 2.4-GHz wireless, portable digital headset. The unit can receive signals up to 200 feet in its line of sight from its base station or 50 feet through walls or ceilings--without any compromise in sound quality. Digital transmission eliminates the noise and audio distortion of analog wireless systems. The base transmitter can be used in audio systems or computers, and it can service an unlimited number of headsets. Furthermore, the snug-fitting ear cushions block out all exterior sounds while you listen. Now I don't hear anything from the guy in the next cubicle--and he's happy not to hear me.
