2020-02-11 Thread Mr. Ed
Hi Sieghard,

I put a 320 ma battery in my Logitech H800 and I get 10 or more hours on it. So 
far I have three of the h800 and quite a few friends that have the h800 and I 
have never heard of the switch wearing out. Yes sometimes if you don’t get it 
just right it will not connect to the iPhone but not very often. I know they 
are not perfect but for the price and what I use them for they work great. I 
don’t listen to music. I use them to listen to Jaws on my computer and talk to 
friends on my iPhone using Facetime for hours. I have to wear them over my 
behind the ear hearing aids and they work great for that. I’ll take a look at 
the Sony’s. I am always looking for other brands as they may not keep making 
the h800 for long as one never knows. I have to have an over the ear headset 
and I don’t like the cup style with my hearing aids.

Hi Ed,

 

I did buy the Logitech H800 and find them comfortable, otherwise I’d say they 
are adequate but not more.

Sound quality is mediocre and their 6-hour battery life is ridiculously short 
for such a large headset.

The dual USB and Bluetooth functionality is nice, being able to charge while 
using is actually good and not something most Bluetooth headsets can do.

Lastly, the power switch which slides from the off position to Bluetooth in the 
middle and USB if you slide it up another click is of rather poor quality and 
mine sometimes seems to not work already.

 

I also recently purchased a Sony WH-CH510 
<https://www.amazon.com/Sony-WH-CH510-Headphones-Hardshell-Headphone/dp/B07XY9TVFS/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=Sony%2BWH-CH510=1581402889=8-4=1>
  Bluetooth headset, the link I provided is for Amazon.com where they go for 
$59.99 and in this case it even includes a hard case. This is more or less the 
same as the Logitech H800 and while they can’t be used with a USB dongle, they 
sound definitely better and boast up to 35 hours battery life, are Bluetooth 
5.0 and charge via USB-C. They are also on-ear, one small disadvantage is that 
they seem to fit a little bit tighter than the Logitech H800, but still fairly 
comfortable.

 

Regards,

Sieghard

Try the Logitech H800 headset. They are wireless but can be plugged in and use 
while charging. They are light, excellent  Bluetooth range and are price around 
$65. No wires hanging out like on the Koss. Also some report on the reviews 
that the  wireless Koss Bluetooth is poor.

No, it simply means that the plug on the headset is USB-C, the cable which 
comes with it still has a regular USB-A type plug on the other end so you can 
plug it into any computer or wall adapter such as the one of your iPhone.
But if you have a laptop with USB-C port or a USB-C wall adapter with a USB-C 
to USB-C cable you can use it and I believe this would probably allow for USB-C 
fast charging.
The cable which comes with it by the way is super short, probably no more than 
6 inches, great if you use it next to a laptop or if you have a wall adapter 
plugged in to an outlet above a counter.

Hi,

Sound is very subjective. I encourage you to go to a store or you can demo 
different headphones with your music and then you can go from there.  Comfort

Thanks, I  have always liked Koss. **If we can't look at ourselves, and ask, why?  then where does the learning start? From: Kay MalmquistSent: Monday, February 10, 2020 3:08 PMTo: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: Re: Bose headphones? All I can say is just the other day I bought a pair of Koss Portapros that are Bluetooth and they are phenomenal!  I mean no latency at all.  Believe me, I have put them through their paces and I have never seen anything like this.   When there are pauses and speech or music resumes, nothing is lost in that first sound or syllable.  They are a head band type of head phone that goes over the ear but is not a can.  You can still hear what is going on around you.  I wear them when I am using Aira but since I wear hearing aids them, I put them more over the Mics on my behind the ear aids and then I can hear what is going on around me and I can also hear the agent.  I do not wear hearing aids when I wear them just for listening purposes.  Hope this all makes sense. Kay Malmquistkay.malmqu...@gmail.com No matter where you are, no matter how difficult things might appear to be, you are always being moved toward magnificence.

Then there is the question of price in general, you can easily spend $2,000 or more for a true audio file quality headset and that’s not even talking about a dedicated headset amplifier to drive your high-end headset. But I guess that is beyond what most people are looking for just as most of my outdoor or hunting customers buy a $300 to $700 pair of binoculars and not the $3,200 pair of Swarovskis.If you really want to make an informed decision, spend an hour or so reading some or all of the information on this website: Audiophile 101: The Beginner Guide to Headphones & Hi-Res Audio Then also take a look at this site which includes many examples of headsets and links to buying them on Amazon, Bose, by the way, usually doesn’t make it onto these types of lists: TOP 30 BEST AUDIOPHILE HEADPHONES FOR 2020 Here are two examples of the very high-end: Sennheiser HD 820 Closed-Back HeadphoneOr this one:Sony Signature Hi-Res Headphone, Black (MDRZ1R)  Have fun,Sieghard -Original Message-From: viphone@googlegroups.com  On Behalf Of Feliciano GodoySent: Monday, February 10, 2020 8:05 AMTo: viphone@googlegroups.comSubject: Re: Bose headphones? Hi,Sound is very subjective. I encourage you to go to a store or you can demo different headphones with your music and then you can go from there.  Comfort is also a factor.  FelicianoFor tech tips and updates: LIKE www.facebook.com/theblindman12vFollow www.twitter.com/theblindman12vFollow www.instagram/TheBlindMan12vthose who are crazy enough to think they can change the world are the ones who do. -Steve Jobs  > On Feb 10, 2020, at 6:12 AM, Shermeen Khan  wrote:> > Happy Monday all,> > Is anyone using Bose over-the-ear or on-ear headphones? can you > comment on sound quality of music?
