They appear to be great indeed Adrian and exactly what I feel I would need.
Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,
they're not earbuds, but over-the-ear headphones so not too suitable for wearing outside but good inside while you need to focus on what you are listening to.

They are on a 30 percent discount with Prime. Down from 140. This is an average price for this kind of headphones, so you might get something similar from Sony, Sennheiser or Bose. I'm pretty happy with these. They have a palm-activated transparency mode where I can easily switch off the noise canceling and hear the surroundings without even getting them off.
All the best,
Adrian

Hi Paul,
I too won't mention how wonderful today's notes were as usual, LOL!
Anyway I'm wondering if the noise cancellation earbuds mentioned by Adrian are available here?
perhaps it' me getting a bit older (or is it crankier!) but the constant unnecessary noise in shops, restaurants pubs and the like is beginning to get beyond a joke now as the man says.
Any other recommendations of such ear buds for around a hundred euro would be good to hear about.
Cheers,
Tony

Hello Folks, Embracing Winter, as it's all one can do, supposed to get somewhat warmer for the next few days.
Looking forward to attending Sightless cinema production of Blind Panic in the Civic theatre in Tallaght next Thursday.
There were 13 enthusiastic members for today's Monday Tech meeting.
There was a good discussion inisiated by Eamonn. , He wanted to know if anybody used Noise cancellation headsets.
Adrian does and he told us that he uses a brand named SOUNDCORE Q35. Other brands mentioned included SENN HEISER, From Germany.
These noise cancellation headsets are very useful especially while walking outside.
Eliminating traffic noise and so on.
Albert shared a good tip . Some people would like more time to tap on a phone number in a link.
Good to settings, accessability Voice Over, and arrow down to a 25 second time limit, and arrow down to incremental and double click here to increase the time for clicking the telephone number.
Martin had problems in logging onto his computer this morning, he decided to engage NVDA, by using control+shift+letter N. It seems that Jaws had gone onto silent mode as it was updating.
Albert said that one should update Jaws or NVDA by going to their websites and downloading the updates.
NVDA ACCESS.ORG.
The best thing to use if your computer is updating is Microsoft Narrator, this will call out the message that your PC, is updating and don't turn off your computer.
Narrator can be turned on by using Control+ Windows key +enter key.
Note takers who were praised by all, but people wanted the thank you messages done away it, and if people wanted to thank any notetaker, they should do it, by mailing them only by sending a mail to their private e mail address and not to the mailing list.
Adrian said that it was not possible to mail and individual through the mailing list.
Eamonn likes to use HTML (Hyper text mark up language,) when using E-mails, but it seems that this facility is being discontinued from January.
Tom, got himself a gaget (dongle) , which he puts at the back of his television set, and now he can watch movies or other programmes at the sound volume , that's good for him, while his wife can have the volume at the level that suits her.
That's all folks
Paul
