Creative HS-1200 hits at last, brings the X-Fi to wireless cans

» by mtc July 26th, 2008 at 1:27 am » Comments (4)

First seen back at CES. Creative has put together a very nice package with the HS-1200 set [Product page on Creative website].
One of the features that sets the HS-1200 apart from products like the FREETALK or the Clearchat, is the SoundBlaster X-Fi technology that Creative bundles in. X-Fi delivers some pretty kick-ass […]

USB microphone problem on Mac OS X 10.5.2 Leopard

Apple.  Please help fix this problem.  It is causing issues on many USB headset devices.  Unfortunately it has been raised as an issue on some of our wireless headset products, basically users complaining about robotic voice, or scratchy voice, or even muffled voice quality.  In doing some research, it is clear that this is a […]



The Logitech’s ClearChat Wireless PC Headset has been a long time coming…

As chopstickhero so eloquently posited,
this is a product that makes you think “why didn’t i think of that?”
Well the folks at Avnera did (way back in 2004!), and we made a single chip that will bring devices like this (and more) to market for years to come, at prices consistent with any other common PC […]

Cool impromptu interview with Creative’s marketing folks by Gaming Shogun. Unfortunately, I think the guy from Creative confused some folks when he said compression technology. This product uses Avnera’s chipset and wireless audio protocol. I can firmly state that this is […]

Skype Journal gives the FREETALK Wireless Stereo Headset one of his “Eight ‘Non-Skype’ Technology Recognitions”

» by mtc December 31st, 2007 at 2:47 pm » Comments (0)

Recognized along with other notable products from Blackberry and Nokia, as well as mobile software from Google and Sling Media, it’s humbling and pleasing to note that a product enabled by Avnera’s chips was keeping such good company.  And I quote:
FreeTalk Wireless Stereo Headset: This one continues to perform and make my entire PC audio […]



Creative’s “Tag Heuer” is codeword for sweeeeeet product

» by mtc December 28th, 2007 at 11:40 am » Comments (2)

Engadget jumps to lots of conclusions in this recent post about the FCC’s outing of Creative’s wireless stereo headset. I think the guys over there are digging for a scoop where maybe there isn’t one. The LTB reference is unfounded, and the code name “Tag Heuer” is more likely just that, an internally […]
