Ah, this is another fun blog entry.
I’m sitting up in my room, its 11 at night, and I’m bored out of my mind. I look over and see my wireless headphones, sitting there, useless. For one reason or another, they didn’t want to work. They have power going to them, but it doesn’t broadcast any sound. I can’t figure out why, since its the exact same setup I have at home.
Anywise, I play around with it for a minute or two, and try to get it to work. As I’m scanning the frequencies, looking for my music, I hear something that sounds like a radio show. I tune it a little more so the sound comes in better, and I realise its two people on their phone!
Most wireless phones broadcast on 2.4 GHz, which is the same frequency as my headphones. I had thought most wireless headphones used some sort of encryption between the phone and the cradle (the part of the connection that is broadcast out to the world, wirelessly), but I guess not. Even if that is true, this is college, so the cheaper the phone, the better (so I’d doubt they have encryption).
I’m going to play around with this a little more, since we have a wireless phone in our room.
I’ll be sure to keep you all posted.
By the way, the conversation wasn’t too interesting, and sounded a little like the Jerry Springer show without the crowd and the host.
And for those of you interested, I never got my music to play on them.
