| Headphones with breakaway cable? I've ploughed through the many, many headphone threads on here and I've not been able to find a topic on this... (though there may be one buried somewhere I've not noticed) Does anyone know of any reasonable headphones with a breakaway cable (not sure if this is the right word - basically it's if the cable gets pulled, it just disconnects rather than yanking the socket out of the computer  ) because I'm moving office at work, and I don't know if my new colleagues will like my choice of music  Preferably over the ear, as buds seem to fall out of my freakishly shaped ears within seconds. Probably best not to be noise cancelling as well, because i'll need to hear people  Team Fishcake - Silly comedy sketches and writings XS Malarkey Comedy Club Twitter | FaceBook | MySpace |

| When Logitech were in showing us their bluetooth offering I borrowed them to listen to a bit of pendulum and couldn't tell the difference between them and my standard wired headphones. ---- Why do Computer Scientists get Halloween and Christmas mixed up? Because Oct. 31 = Dec. 25. |

| Well i for one love this feature on my Senn's HD570's, fairly sure that you can't buy them any more but for me these are one of my best ever audio buys ever. I'd have wrecked lesser headphones cables if they didn't have this (3m) cable. TiG -- Hexus Meets Rock! -- |

| If BT has a 2.4GHz radio signal, the bandwidth could in theory be as high as you (or a dog, or bat come to that) would need. http://tinyurl.com/yrwa95 The Logitech seem to have a good review, but not so the HP !
