Lisa's laid-back “Hello”
%n%Lisa Morgan sounded totally stressed, almost breathless, every time she answered the telephone. The explanation was quite simple. She would rush to pull the speaker connection out of her computer and then connect her headset each time the telephone window popped up on the computer screen, disrupting her work with a telephone call. She was just about to ditch IP telephony and go back to a landline again when she discovered that her problem could be solved with a Sandberg Urban StreetSound 2.0 for half of what her landline rental used to cost her each month!
The individual and this particular story are fictitious. But the problem is not. If you listen to music on your computer and also use it for voice chat or IP telephony, you know the problem: The speakers and the headset cannot be connected to the computer simultaneously, so you are forced to spend time on those small connectors which need to be plugged and unplugged whenever the telephone rings.
The Urban StreetSound 2.0 doesn't just look good, it's also a solution to the problem. Amazingly enough, the speakers have a built-in external sound card so they only need to be connected to a USB port. So your standard headphone jack is free for a headset. Then you can set your telephony program to use the headset for talking and set the speakers for the ringing tone. Your media player and browser can be set to use the speakers. And in future you will sound totally relaxed when you answer the telephone.
It also means less wear and tear on the connectors. And nor must we forget to mention that Urban StreetSound actually sounds pretty good and doesn't require mains power.
