Wireless Headphones

[jennyjoan]

you know I got new headphones (muffy ones) - I wire them up then attach a transmitter to the radio and off I go.

Now I was on a bus the other day and a few girls and guys were wearing same headphones so where were they getting their music from. Would it have been a charged up MP3 (then inserted into the headphones). Would that be correct.

Their phones. Via Bluetooth.

[jennyjoan]

ok Zacs - like I know nothing about bluetooth but I forgot to say there were no wires coming from the headphones as I studied them well. Some did have wires - others didn't

I've got wireless headphones, they're a God send.

[jennyjoan]

jordy the question was where were they getting the music from

[rockyracoon]

They don't need wires. They connect to the device via bluetooth.

'I forgot to say there were no wires'

Apart from putting 'wireless' in your question title ;-)

[IJKLM]

Are you worried they were listening to your music?

Not possible - assuming you were on bluetooth

Bluetooth has a security system. When you 'pair' the headphones with your phone (or other device), there is a security token system that learns which devices are paired.

That means no-one else can connect to your headphones, unless you have actively chosen to pair the devices.

jeez gies a break zaccy - can't get it right all the time

[jennyjoan]

I wasn't using mine - I can only use mine in the house next to the radio - no good outside so wouldn't be worried anybody "paging the oracle" - listening in. Even if that happened I couldn't care less.

ok - have got my answers - ta all - have a good day

If you are thinking of getting wireless ones do your research. My daughter got some for her phone a few months and now I can't hear half of what she says the signal is so bad. I haven't the heart to tell her so just say yes and hmmm a lot.

[Zacs-Master]

She's already got a pair, Prudie.

[Prudie]

Oh so she has, what's this about then?...don't answer :-)

[jennyjoan]

prude thanks - yes I do have a pair and am wearing them right now - Chris (Buenchico) advised these and they are brilliant. Love them.
