    Newest Theater Irritant

    People turn off your flipping flashing blue-tooth ear piece.


    Ok, sorry if I offend you blue tooth users in general, but I personally find them quite silly. If it keeps your hands on the wheel great :T .

    I'm a bit fed up with thinking I'm being spoke to only to find they have one of the little goofy little things in their other ear. :roll:

    I'm tired of holding the door for someone and their too busy with their call to acknowledge the courtesy passing through like your the doorman. :roll:

    I'm tried of hearing your conversations. :roll:

    And now I'm tired of seeing your flashing LED at the movies. There were two today, a small solid red one, and a fairly large flashing blue one. Cell phone should be off, turn the flippin ear piece off. :evil:

    Good thing the home system is good and I don't venture out to the movies much.

    Got room for me to join you on the soapbox?

    Agreed, earpieces and driving? Good. Earpieces while participating in society? Jack-assery.

    In general, I still hate cell phones.

    Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

              Cellphones are nice sometimes...but I hate them which is why I get one on and off Everytime I get one a few months later decide I don't want it anymore. Being able to be contacted 24/7 is just annoying.

                Greenhorn! LEDs are driving you insane?! Try watching a movie in Singapore where people actually pick up phone calls and have normal conversations during the movie! :a> :a> :a> :a> :a> I just happened to work there for a month, so catching a movie on weekend seemed like a good idea.

                When the first person picked up the phone during the movie, I thought this can't be real :twisted: But after I was forced to listen to half a dozen of these I sort of got used to it :twisted: so NOT! :rofl:

                    I 2nd 3rd 4th or 5th this motion. I find it very annoying when I am trying to focus on a task and conversation is echoing through my ears. The Post Office comes to mind. I'm trying to fill out international shipping forms and someone is yacking on a cell. My latest thing to combat this? I start humming nice and loud to overcome their noise in my space. I can only hope that it annoys them. I'm very likely to hammer the horn at distracted drivers and make sure they know I am pissed at their distracted driving.

                        by Mark Seaton
                        Hi guys,

                        I was hoping someone would throw together something like this so those in the home/hi-fi community could get a hint at what audio professionals consider required skills. The link was posted during a discussion on the Live Audio Board, and I believe many DIYers and those trying...

                        Us audio snobs are a weird bunch..........I know that.........I accept that. So, what I'm about to say 'may' sound weird but here goes nothing................ :roll:

                        I'm 52 years old (somewhat degraded hearing?) and my gear is in somewhat of a dead room. Some recent adjustments have...

                        My newest subwoofer project
                        by bemis23
                        This is related the now-closed thread below concerning my newest project. In that thread I described a sealed *subwoofer* of approximately 2.25cu ft housing a 15" Dayton RSS390 subwoofer. The subwoofer is available at PE for $159/ea. I was planning on using a Behringer EP2000 rack amp and the...

                        Rubber ear buds MATTER!!
                        by madmac
                        Hey all,

                        In ear headphones that have removable and interchangeable rubber ear buds are worth experimenting with! Why???.......Well.... awhile back, I got a pair of Sennheiser in ear headphones for my PDA as a gift and I was not so impressed with the sound when I tried them for music off...

                        Anyone have any info/opinions oin the eAR amps from Acoustic Reaility they are talking about at Harmonic Discord?

                        ICE module powered digital amplifier in a very funky spiked triangular case. Intro'ed at $3K, is now $5K and has a junior version for about half that. Curious as to any opinions...
