They are a pair of Bose noise-cancelling in-ear Bluetooth earbud listening thingys (as they are called by the technical community).<\/p>\n
And they are dangerously fantastic.<\/p>\n
They are fantastic because the audio quality is quite possibly the best in-ear and over-ear experience I have ever had.<\/p>\n
They are dangerously so because the noise-cancelling function (I’m still not sure how that works) actually blanked out the sound of the 1,000cc motorbike that I was standing next to, the first time I tried them.<\/p>\n
Actually blanked out the sound of the engine.<\/p>\n
Entirely.<\/p>\n
An adjustment to the noise-cancelling switch-thingy soon sorted that out.<\/p>\n
I was also given a cunning little plug-in thingy that turned my iPod Classic into a Bluetooth-enabled thingy, so I could pair it with the\u00a0Bose noise-cancelling in-ear Bluetooth earbud listening thingys.<\/p>\n
Yay!<\/p>\n
Very unfortunately, and less than a week later, my iPod Classic stopped working.<\/p>\n
Not due, I must add quickly, to anything to do with the\u00a0Bose noise-cancelling in-ear Bluetooth earbud listening thingys.<\/p>\n
And also not due to the\u00a0cunning little plug-in thingy in my iPod.<\/p>\n
I’m fairly sure (but awaiting for a detailed investigator’s report) that the iPod stopped working due to the rapid attempt at interacting with some concrete in the filling station.<\/p>\n
Boo!<\/p>\n
Anyway, this means that I have to dig out an old iPod Classic that is lurking at the back of the electric cupboard (it’s like a normal cupboard, but made of actual electric) and use that instead.<\/p>\n
Mind you, they are all ‘old’ iPod Classics now that Apple have stopped making the best device they ever made, in favour of a bunch of much less-good devices.<\/p>\n
But I am unbelievably grateful for the Bluetoothiness (and therefore cable-free) listening experience that the\u00a0Bose noise-cancelling in-ear Bluetooth earbud listening thingys have brought into my life.<\/p>\n
And equally unbelievably grateful to Sam for providing them.<\/p>\n
