shoulder strap - Bluetooth or FM? Our specific problem is getting travel announcements from a PDA for the blind (PacMate about 6x10x2 inches 2 pounds) to the area of the ears without covering the ears so ordinary sound clues used by my blind wife are still available. One solution is a small FM transmitter intended to plug into a tape player and a small FM radio.with included or added speakers mounted to the shoulder strap.
A different solution would be to use a plug in Bluetooth transmitter - we own two different brands - to a battery powered speaker or open earphones (hook over the ear, but lay them flat) We have one of the latter and it isn't loud enough by far. I am tempted by one of the speakers that clip on the sun shade for hands free phone use in a car, but I don't know if it will partner with the transmitter units we have. Anyone have any experience?
I have looked at the larger Bluetooth speakers that sit on the shelf, but they all seem too large to fasten on a shoulder strap. Any suggestions?
I will explore other choices. One we can not do is a cable from the PDA to speakers - she often is carrying a backpack, purse and the PDA and the cable+speakers mess things up.
