Wireless headphones - exacerbated mt
Posted: Sep 04, 2011
Does anyone have or know of where to get wireless headphones. My cat has chewed through the wires of 3 sets of headphones (at $18 each its getting expensive). After the first 2 sets I have been putting them in a drawer when not in use, but the cord sticks out of the drawer attached to the computer and she found her way around the box while I was watching TV and now my third set is gone. Within seconds she chews right through the cord. So, since there are wireless keyboards and wireless mouse was wondering if there is such a thing as wireless headphones. I'm looking on the internet and there are a lot, but unsure about them.
Thanks...just exacerbated.
I had a pair of wireless headphones that drove me nuts.... - Kiki
[ In Reply To ..]forgot brand name but they were uncomfortable and the sound just wasn't as good as my wireless. Maybe someone knows of a better type.
However, I have the same problem with my cat! The solution was to get this cord cover (see below for link) oogle....it's this clear cord and wire cover made for animals that chew....it's apparently smells and tastes TERRIBLE to animals (it DOES stink!)....it is split and you insert the cord you want to protect and close it up. Here's the link you can copy and paste in case my link below doesn't work:

Wireless Mouse
Dec 01, 2011
I am just wondering if any of you are using a wireless mouse and how they are working for you? I currently use a wired mouse and have for centuries.

I am hesitant in getting a wireless because wireless tends to slow me down with a second of lag. Those seconds add up and I am just wondering how beneficial they are. Any ...

Switched Over To Verizon Wireless.

I have had HughesNet satellite for the last 2 years. This has been extremely slow and lots of down time with weather. So I was told that Verizon would be much better. Now that it is installed, I am disappointed to see how slow this is. My download time is so bad, I doubt any company would hire me or maybe they would, but with all the waiting for downloading of files, I could never get a good line count. Supposedly Verizon says they are putting up more po ...
