BCK-08 - Windows 7 and a Thinkpad T61P


I am not sure where is the weak point in my system, but I am quite sure it is the BCK-08. It is a nice stereo bluetooth receiver or headset, but there are a few problems :
- Not well balanced - it will not stay at one place when clipped to clothing
- battery life - I only get a few hours- not quite enough for a film nor a video game
- hiss - In ear bud headphones make the electronic noise worse. I put the volume up and use a pair that has a rheostat to control the volume. Unfortunately the high end is cut out, but I avoid the constant hiss.

I will add a heavier battery to the device. I do not think it will be a problem given it seems to discharge on its own. It may not be so pleasant to look at considering I will be using electrical tape to hold it together.

It makes me think it would be nice to find a way to have a "set" of AA batteries which are lithium based and voltage dropped to work with my digital camera so that the voltage is always around 1.6V rather than the NiMH of 1.2 taking so long for the flash to come on.
