In this video we unbox and demo the R03U Wireless Mono Headset sent to me for review by Rown Fusny. This headset supports wireless connectivity for both USB and Bluetooth. I really enjoyed using this product and their customer support was first class.

It’s a mono device which means it only has a speaker for one ear, which is really good for your situational awareness because you can hear what’s going on in your environment through your other ear. Both the headphone and the microphone worked properly in both USB and Bluetooth mode.

I wasn’t able to get the USB mode to work on my Windows 10 machine, but I don’t know if that was related to the USB hardware on that computer or if it had to do with Windows 10 support for the device. I was able to get USB mode working on a Windows 11 Pro computer and one of my Debian 12 (bookworm) computers. I tested the Bluetooth mode on both iPhone 6s and iPhone 8.

One thing that I needed explained to me was that after you pair your Bluetooth device you may need to double click the power button on the headset in order to toggle from USB mode over to Bluetooth mode in order to activate the device. That’s why I had to contact customer support, because I was confused by this.

The device gives you status updates via audio. So if you toggle to USB mode it says “USB mode” and if you toggle to Bluetooth mode it says “Bluetooth mode”. If you disconnect the USB dongle or unpair the Bluetooth connection it says “disconnected”.

There is a microphone mute button on the headset and there are volume control buttons too. I tested the volume control buttons via Bluetooth but forgot to test via USB… hmm. Gimme a tick. Yep, the volume controls work on USB too!

Overall I was very pleased with this device and I would happily recommend this product!

In preparing this video I made some notes about my headphones which are still available on my wiki.

CORSAIR HS55 Surround Gaming Headset Plus Games

I’m such a good little consumer. Today I got myself some surround sound headphones with microphone attached. I got the CORSAIR HS55 Surround Gaming Headset which was a step up from the CORSAIR HS35 v2 option.

I am interested in getting a VR headset but honestly I don’t know anything about that technology yet, so I am holding off for now. I don’t understand why the price differentials are so drastic, there are $20 thru $3,000 options. I think some of them are just straps which you attach your smartphone to.

Also I am planning to get the Logitech G X56 Throttle and Stick Controller but I haven’t hit the buy button on that one yet either. I want this so I can play my Descent games (see below, I got Descent 1, 2, and 3).

There is a sale on games at the moment over on Steam and I got a bunch of games while they were up to 90% off:

A few days ago I got Prey which I have been playing on my new gaming rig ‘treat‘, that’s been a bit of fun.

More shelving!

In addition to the new shelving I’ve added two more bits.

One is a shelf for my Chumby (or anything else) and the other is a 10cm plastic protrusion which I can use to hang my headphones (or anything else).

Those green drawers are made from cardboard and needed a little extra support under the left hand side on the bottom which is why I stuck one of my 4.5mm PVC sheets under there (but I also needed something to attach the 10cm protrusion, so two birds, one stone).

Those PVC sheets I’ve been using were 4.5mm thick clear Nanya PVC cut to order at 254 x 174 mm by Plastics Online. I had to order a bunch of them to meet the minimum order requirements (I think I ordered 8 and they sent 9).

There’s space between my three stacks of drawers for one or two component boxes, so looking forward to making something interesting to stick in those.
