My Noise Canceling Headphones

Posted by admin | Technology | Wednesday 14 October 2009 4:44 am

It seems like a simple idea and often times simple ideas are the best ones. Build a set of noise canceling headphones that physically reflect noise away from your ears.

Most popular noise canceling headphones use electronics to cancel sound. The electronics involved in these battery operated noise canceling headphones like the Bose QuietComfort headphones or Sony headphones are certainly interesting to read about. In a nutshell, they sample the noise around you and then attempt to produce an “opposite” sound wave inside the ear cups to cancel the unwanted noise. To accomplish this, these headphones have a little computer in them that runs off a set of batteries. This is all great EXCEPT there are a bunch of “hidden” problems with this type of headphones.

My Problem With Most Noise Canceling Headphones

I’ve tried a bunch of headphones before realizing that most of these noise canceling headphones all work the same way. I HATE the way the tend to destroy the bass tones in your music. Just think about it, if they are putting “canceling” sound waves in your ear cups, some of your music tones are getting canceled out too. That’s no good. Also, if your batteries die then so does your noise cancelation and sometimes, with some headphones, you can’t hear any music at all. A brief list of my problems with most headphones are:

  • You have to keep buying batteries.
  • No batteries, no music.
  • The swooshing noise that the “opposite” sound wave makes in your ears
  • Not good for block voices, phones, dogs, etc.
  • Distorts your music
  • Too expensive

The Best Noise Canceling Headphones

The great news is that I have finally found a great set of headphones that really work! The Direct Sound Extreme Isolation Headphones at QuietHeadphones.com solve all the problems I had been experiencing with the other headphones and I LOVE them. They work by PHYSICALLY reflecting sound away from your ears. They have a slick closed back and are padded with a noise isolation foam and the work by simply stopping sound from reaching your ears. They don’t try to do any fancy calculations, they don’t use batteries, and best of all, THEY WORK REALLY WELL.

There are three different versions of these headphones available. Their best noise canceling headphones are the EX-29 Extreme Isolation Headphones. They block 29 dB of sound and have excellent, studio quality speakers. They also offer a smaller, compact version of these headphones called the EX-25 Extreme Isolation Headphones. The EX-25 headphones are great noise canceling headphones for traveling. They block 25 dB of noise an are smaller making them easy to bring with you when you are on the move. The third version is a speakerless version of the EX-25 headphones which are designed to just block sound. They have no speakers and no cord so you don’t use them to listen to music.

Complete Noise Isolation

Now, a normal conversation is about 60 dB. A crying baby is about 70 dB. And these headphones only block 29 dB of sound so you are still going to hear some background noise if you aren’t listening to any audio through your headphones. But keep in mind that the battery powered headphones out there only block about 17dB. So you are still getting better isolation with these headphones. But there is one more piece of the puzzle.

The folks at QuietHeadphones.com are giving away a FREE 30 minute white noise MP3 that is awesome. It uses binaural beats to promote creativity and concentration. And if you listen to this audio track through your headphones at a low level you can mask out any remaining noise and truly achieve almost complete sound isolation. I guess this why they are called EXTREME ISOLATION headphones. So you get to complete noise canceling package at QuietHeadphones.com and the price is great. Even their most expensive headphones are under $100. This is a fantastic deal compared to the battery powered headphones that can be easily 2 - 3 times more expensive.

I placed my order and the headphones shipped the next day and I had my headphones is just a couple days. They have fast shipping and their customer service is awesome too. Best of all they are offering a 110% money back guarantee. So you really can’t go wrong. Check out their noise canceling headphones, get the free white noise MP3, and finally enjoy some crystal clear music with no distractions.

A Story about Concrete Installations I Once Was Told

Posted by admin | services | Wednesday 14 October 2009 4:33 am

I remember this story like it was yesterday. In 1992, I was in the third grade when we had two people, a man and a frazzled woman, visited our school to talk about the art of decorative concrete installations. An odd thing to talk to third graders about? Well, maybe, but not the way it was presented. You see, it was presented like so. I remember what the two people said with perfect clarity:

Gather round me children, and listen to this! Do I have a grand jackhammer? Check. How about my goggles? Yep. Got my giant and majestic booming carton of shot blasters? Check check chewy now. Got my scrapper? Yes! You bet. Betty Du Bet! (The children in the class laughed at this line). Yes mister, I’m all set to visit a very special stained concrete Virginia beach facility that’s been called perhaps the best on planet Earth, and if I may be so bold, the entire world–at least the concrete universe. It’s called decocreteva.com, and they’re quite known all across the land for doing super-duper installations of decorative concrete systems all through the south and deep, especially Virginia . So very swell, they make even Bob Vila blush. (I am not quite certain that the third graders know who Bob Vila was, so I doubt they got this reference.) He was always the grand czar of these types of things. Let me see again. Do I have my grand floor grinder? Check. Got my demolition hammer? Bop! Got my big box of nails? Yes, I do. Welp, time to go then, isn’t it. I am very ready to take a gander at the place because I’ve heard so much about how grand these workers really are.

That was what the two people said, verbatim, in fact. Odd that I remember it. Yes, but, hey, stranger things have happened. Much, much stranger things.

Finding The Ideal material handling consultant who will do a Super job

Posted by admin | services | Tuesday 13 October 2009 7:00 pm

I really do need a material handling consultant. Boy oh boy, do I ever. I currently have a warehouse in dire straits. It was starting to crumble apart a bit, but now, it’s bursting at the seams. It’s like a fat man trying to squeeze into a pair of way too tight jeans. I need a material handling consultant who I can involve right from the beginning, right at the planning stage. I’ve found that they have the greatest impact when you do get them involved right from the start. I don’t know, maybe that doesn’t matter to a large extent, but I’m not particularly willing to chance it. What I need and want is strategic planning and precise budget development. I’d even like computer simulations of my facility plans and layout. Only then can this said consultant maximize his impact. Yes sir, when the project implementation begins, I want to be positive that my material handling system well-polished design will provide me with a suitable ROI. And I’m willing to walk to the ends of the Earth until I find the right human-being for the task. Yes, I am!
