I used my new "Sports Ears" for the first time on Saturday. The are fantastic I don't know if I could watch a live game again without them. For those that have not seen them check out www.sportsears.com It's a small FM radio that also picks up the Fox commentery and the Refs and Touch judges mics. You can have just Fox on or just ther Refs on or one in each ear. It certainly makes it easy to follow the refs decision making process, what the infringment is etc. They are available at the Force Shop at Perry Lakes for $80 ($72 for members) plus they can be used for Wallaby matches and even in NZ.
Hmm, sounds good. Although I know more than the ref anyway, don't need to hear his rubbish.
You may well know more, but his decision is final and that is the decision you want to know about, not what happens in Waratah Wonderland!Originally Posted by Sagerian
Just as reformed smokers can be pretty bad Sagerian you can probably tell I once supported the Waratahs! Bring on Paddys day!
Waratahs Wonderland, you ill-informed fool! We're all from Planet Dell!
I seriously can't wait for St Paddy's day. Oh, and there's a game of rugby on too!
Anyone else interested in Sports Ears? Could probably get a greater discount than 10% if there are a few of us ...
Dear Lord, if you give us back Johnny Cash, we'll give you Justin Bieber.
I got a pair too but I'm not as impressed as InnForcer, but they do provide good commentry. My problem is I like to be able to make my own assessments and it's difficult to do that with a guy telling you his....maybe they will grow on me.
Just happy to be here
After listening to 6PR, Fox and 90.5, I think 90.5 are doing the best job, but I'm always interested in another point of view. I was very impressed with the NZ commentary team that 90.5 & 6PR fed from the 'canes game.
Other option would be to pick up a scanner, then you could tune into the coaches, security and other feeds at the ground too if you found the right frequencies, but that'd cost a bit more than $72..

$80 seems a little expensive.
Anyway Rodent sits next to me and provides much better (albeit one eyed) commentary for free...although now I've said that he'll probably start charging me!
you should have to pay for that commentary, its gold, GOLD I TELLS YA!

Incompetent isn't the right word... But its the first one that comes to mind.

I have had Sports Ears for about 3 years now and I love them. I am kicking myself for not bringing them to the Brumbies game when I flew over. (HMMM. I really need to finish off Part 3 of my article dont I).
But to listen to the commentary team in one ear and the ref and touchys in the other ear just hightens the Rugby Experience. I would recommend it to anyone.
This is not a paid testemonial.
Well, I havent been paid yet

Oh so it's one in each ear? So I could have one ear in for just the ref stuff and keep the other free to hear my mate's witty repartee?
TCIE - Yeah you should finish that story hehe, I've got a story on WBF that's "coming soon" waiting for some info RE: Buddha.
P.S. You still wanna catch the Force/Reds game somewhere?

Having bought but forgotten them for the first match I was very impressed with using them to listen just to the ref. I switched over to the commentary for the last few minutes to hear any wrap up but don't think I'll bother for the whole match at all, one ear for the ref, one for my mates!
The best bit was hearing the players in the background, especially a rather loud spray at a certain blue loosehead!!!
