Finding the Right Wireless Headphone Accessories

Have you recently purchased a cordless headset and are excited about all of the great benefits you’ll be able to take advantage of once you begin using it – that is, until you realize that much of the technology you have in your home is not compatible with your new set? Lucky for you, there are companies that have taken this dilemma into consideration, creating wireless headphone accessories that will allow you to enjoy all of the benefits of using them. So let’s take some time to look at some of the extras that are available so that you will know what products you need to buy under which conditions.

Adapters

Adapters are one of the wireless headphone accessories that allow you to listen to audio components wirelessly, even if they were not originally capable of doing so. Below, are two adapters that can make your cordless music-listening dreams come true:

Motorola 89126J Plug & Play Adapter – This adapter is the perfect companion for your PC or laptop as it allows you to use your wireless headset to move around while listening to your favorite songs. You don’t have to install any software to get started. All you need is to pull it out the box, pair it with your headset and get started on great tangle-free listening. And if you want to move on from your computer, you can use it with a stereo set as well.

CNET Review: Jabra BT530 with USB Adapter

The BT530 is a smart looking unit with good features and decent performance. If you don’t intend to make use of the multi-point connectivity we suggest looking at cheaper alternatives.

Design

Jabra earns top marks for the simplistic design of the BT530. Its matte black plastic finish and stainless steel trim are subdued and very attractive. The earpiece’s three buttons and single switch are integrated into the design well so that the entire unit remains sleek without protrusions.

Many Bluetooth headsets come bundled with a variety of different sized ear gels, but none come with the number of gels we found in the box with the BT530. Alongside a replacement plastic earhook, we found no less than seven alternative gels in a variety of sizes. Taking these gels off is very difficult, the rubber cups grip to the speaker very tightly, and this is probably a good thing.

The BT530 headset charges via a micro USB connection at the base of the unit. This means the BT530 will be able to share chargers with other devices using the same input, including some recent release Nokia handsets. We were surprised to discover the BT530 retail package doesn’t include a power adapter for charging, only a USB cable to charge using your PC’s power. This is disappointing considering the BT530′s top-shelf price point.

Thinking New? Think Refurbished

Many people cannot afford brand new products, especially electronics. One option for consumers is to wait a couple of years for the current model to go on sale or clearance and take the back seat to a newer one. For me, I know that I can’t afford the newest or trendiest product and usually have to wait before I can buy a new toy to play with.

Luckily, there is another option, but many don’t know about it or are afraid to take a chance with it. Buy refurbished. Yes, refurbished, reconditioned products. The first thought that probably comes to mind is that this is was a broken product and I am going to buy a broken, scratched, or non-working item. That’s not the case.

For a number of reasons, a refurbished product is the way to go to if you want a newer, trendier product for a fraction of the cost.

First, the quality of most refurbished products is as good, if not better, than their original, new counterparts. Often times they are just returned products that a previous buyer did not like and cannot be sold as new, so they are labeled as ‘refurbished’ upon resale. The biggest difference will be a different, ‘refurbished specific’ box you receive the item in.

How to Choose the Best Network Rack or Cabinet

There are three types of racks or network cabinets that you can choose to house your equipment.

1. Freestanding racks – racks that are placed on the floor

2. Wall mount – racks that can be mounted on a wall

3. Versatile – which can be sued as a wall mount, desktop, or freestanding

Before deciding on which type of cabinet or rack that you want, there are numerous factors to consider about your equipment. Here are a few basic tips for choosing the network cabinet or rack that will serve you and your equipment best.

Physical Dimensions and Weight of your equipment

First check the physical dimensions and the weight of your equipment. Some equipment is bulky or heavy and might fit only in the freestanding racks. Smaller equipment can fit inside desktop or wall mount cabinets. However, if you anticipate installing additional equipment in the future, you might want to consider a larger rack or cabinet to ensure your future equipment will fit. Thinking about this now can save you time and money later.
