Sounds good, Ibrahim, if you'll excuse the pun. Think I might look into
these. Could you tell us how much they were and where you got them, please.
Cheers
Barry

HI Barry.
I already use a set of open ear headphones for this purpose, they're called
the Plantronics Backbeat 903+ and are Bluetooth behind the neck headphones
which sit in the ear canal but are designed in such a way that they don't
block out any ambient sound. I've used these when travelling to and from
places with my guide dog, both for GPS instruction and listening to a book
or podcast, they also have a microphone pass through capability which means
that the microphone will act as a very mild amplifier to aid in hearing
things like conversation etc. when the music is paused.
All the best, Ibrahim.

Hi all
I think this might be something to look out for later this year.

headphones
They are Bluetooth headphones that sit behind the ear and allow the person
to hear both the input from the headset and the surrounding ambient noises.
I think it would be excellent for things such as GPS systems or even, like
many sighted people do, for us to listen to music on the go.
Cheers
Barry
