Are these BT only? Asking because you say it does not work with a USB dongle.The main feature for me with the H800 is the ability to use either BT or USB and when using with the dongle, it is like having a convenient extra sound card. And the ease of switching from the computer to the IPhone is nice. Marie

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 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.

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.

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.

Yes, Bose are good, but I question paying $300 or more for a pair of Bluetooth headsets, they are still Bluetooth headsets and until this new Bluetooth technology which I read about a couple of weeks ago makes its debut, Bluetooth just can't touch the sound quality of a wired headsets. 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 Headphone Or this one: Sony Signature Hi-Res Headphone, Black (MDRZ1R) Have fun, Sieghard -----Original Message----- From: viphone@googlegroups.com <viphone@googlegroups.com> On Behalf Of Feliciano Godoy Sent: Monday, February 10, 2020 8:05 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: 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.
