RE: Waterproof headphones for swimming

[Simon A Fogarty]

Over the head on ear?!

Can't see that working as the inner section of the ear pad where the speaker is 
would still get water in it.

You'd be better with in ear waterproof headphones.

I know people make them but I can't remember the names.

Hi list!! 
Does anyone know of any water proof over the head on the ear headphones for 
swimming that could be used with an iphone or water proof mp 3 player? 
I want some that go over the ear and not in to it, no ear buds. 
Do any of you know of any?

RE: Bose headphones?

[Simon A Fogarty]

Bluetooth is never going to be perfect and if people expect hat then they 
shouldn’t use headphones.
I can’t say I’m noticing anything regarding missing the start of tracks from my 
phone on my earphods or power beats pro

At least nothing that is worth getting upset about.

You may not notice a lag when playing or resuming audio, but believe me, there 
is no Bluetooth headset at this point with no lag, simply not technically 
possible and it also does not really matter whether it’s Bluetooth 2.1, 3, 4, 
4.1 or 5.
I have had relatively inexpensive Bluetooth 2.1 or 3 headsets which had less 
lag than a much more expensive set which used 4.1.

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:

Re: found this on the web for Uber phone number

[Richard Turner]

Yes, and I pointed out it was a UK phone number when it was first posted, but 
no one seemed to catch that, and the reality is Uber itself has no customer 
phone number, and since people are failing to get satisfaction through their 
app, perhaps they need to cut their losses and find another option.
Again, I do not use Uber, so I may be off base here.

RE: Bose headphones?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

The Sony are Bluetooth only. Apart from the Logitech H800 I don’t think I have 
ever seen another headset which could connect via Bluetooth but also had a USB 
dongle. Don’t get me wrong, I like the H800, the only thing I don’t like is the 
somewhat flimsy power/mode  switch and the rather short battery life. After 
all, they are fairly big headsets and they probably could have accommodated a 
larger battery.

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.

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.

Sieghard

Try the Logitech H800 headset. They are wireless but can be plugged in and use

that the  wireless Koss Bluetooth is poor.

Did you check the Message settings in the main phone settings?
Send as SMS should be on, Send as SMS when iMessage is unavailable. Carrier 
messaging rates may apply.
iMessages are between Apple devices, SMS allows sending to other devices,
and if you plan to send photos, send as MMS also should be on.
If both are on, and you are still having the issue, you may need to call Apple

Hi All,

The things that I tried for those 10 messages are:

Rebooting the phone.
Deleting her messages from my message list.
Dictating through Siri within or outside the message app.
Going into Contacts and selecting her name and then dictating the message.
Single finger, double tap when she sent me a message and then dictating in the 
app.
Asked Siri to send her phone number a text.

I can’t remember if I tried anything else but know that I was a very unhappy

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

Cowan E7 headphones?

[territek]

I bought these on Amazon for work to listen to JAWS and the numerous ZOOM 
meetings. They only cost $59 and they feel like such great quality, oh and they 
sound great as well. They have a switch for regular and noise cancelling, a 
microphone, volume, pairing Bluetooth. They also have an audio cord. These are 
the over the ear (cup style) and are very comfortable with hearing aids. 

Memmory foam pads over the speaker and all around the ear. Check them out on 
Amazon.

Best,

Terri Hedgpeth

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 

  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.

Message Failed to Send Revisited

[Vivian Conger]

Hi All,

 

Last night I was trying to text a friend and I kept getting "message failed
to send."  She has an Android and I have an iPhone 7 with IOS 13.3.

 

The things that I tried for those 10 messages are:

 

Rebooting the phone.

Deleting her messages from my message list.

Dictating through Siri within or outside the message app.

Going into Contacts and selecting her name and then dictating the message.

Single finger, double tap when she sent me a message and then dictating in
the app.

Asked Siri to send her phone number a text.

 

I can't remember if I tried anything else but know that I was a very unhappy
camper.  It seems like there was some sort of setting that might need to be
changed.  Thoughts?

 

Any ideas are greatly appreciated.

 

Vivian and Sallie

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

Using the Uber App to Dispute A Charge

[sherrywells1157]

Hello all,

 

I tried to use the Uber app to dispute a charge with no luck.  I'm hoping
someone can help.  I had a $50 gift card so my charges were going there.  My
first question is is there any way to see the charges against the card?  I
can find my ride history & it only shows one ride today.  Yet I received 2
separate receipts via email for this one ride.  My credit card is showing a
partial charge so that means the gift card has maxed out.  Per my
calculations this should not be so.

 

I found the dispute charge section by going to the help menu.  I filled in
my name, date for ride #1 then date for ride #2.  I left ride #3 blank.  I
filled in the comment.  After doing all this the submit button remained
dimmed so I could not submit.  I looked all over the page to find what I
could have missed but found nothing.  Any ideas?  

 

This is why being able to call & talk to a person would be helpful.

 

Thanks,

Sherry Wells

So it is directed to the 65 and above?  I wouldn't qualify for that myself but 
I am sure that there are many that would be interested in knowing that bit of 
information.  I use uber all the time and luckily i haven't had any issues.  
This conversation is so enlightening.  I am curious for such a majorly big 
business how is it they stay in business if they don't make it easy for their 
customers to handle their their disputes in a timely manner?

Re: Phone number for Uber?

[Richard Turner]

If you read their web site, buried somewhere is the price.
27¢ a minute on top of the Uber price.
I am pretty sure it is per minute and not per mile.
I don't use Uber, but I was curious.

Re: Bose headphones?

[Marie]

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.

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.

 

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.

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:

11 battery life and latest update.

[Carolyn]

What a surprise for me. I am now getting the battery life I
expected from my 11, once I went ahead and downloaded the
latest update Sunday evening. I was reluctant to download
it, because I think I had heard some negative criticism on
one of the lists, but not a plethora of them, so went on and
downloaded. I noticed last night, that despite pretty heavy
use of my phone in the past 24 hours, I had 85 percent
battery. I won't charge until tonight. 

I wondered what happened, and then I thought about the
update, which is the only thing I can attribute the
difference to.

Hi Shermeen 

 A lot of the newer headphone models give you both Bluetooth and a wire also.

 But as for a wired headphone with lightening You will have to go with the 
adapter in most cases,

I have not yet seen a wired or wire for headphones with the lightening 
connecter rather than a 3.5mm headphone jack.


I highly recommend the going to a store and asking for a demo of their 
headphones especially the quiet comforts with your own music,

Not the displays music 

With your own music you know what you should be hearing and it gives a better

Thanks, all. The comments about wired vs. wireless are interesting. Do most 
makers of headphones allow you to plug directly into the lightning port? or 
must you always have an adapter handy? I tend not to be a fan of wires as a 
concept, but have not thoroughly tested Bluetooth headphones to compare.

Basically, all you have to do is have an audio clip of 90s or less in AAC

RE: Waterproof headphones for swimming

[Cristóbal Muñoz]

I don't personally use them, but Aftershokz has the Xtrainers: 
https://aftershokz.com/products/xtrainerz  
They're supposed to be waterproof up to 2 meters (for swimmers). Something like 
4GB of internal storage etc.
I believe these are also bone conduction headphones (they come with earplugs).

Re: Phone number for Uber?

[Wayne Merritt]

I've used the Lyft app and it is not hard at all to select the
category and specific issue. I have found if I select 3 or 4 stars,
different reasons pop up, such as driver issue or route concern, which
when chosen present additional choices from which you can choose. For
instance, I gave 3 stars yesterday based on a driver issue. After I
chose that category, there were a number of options that showed up,
such as driver's photo does not match, route trouble, poor customer
service, etc. There was an edit box where I could provide more details
about the specific issue. I do not have a guide dog currently, but I
know that I've seen a service dog denial as one of the reasons for a 1
or 2 star rating. I haven't lodged a complaint or done the rating on
the web so can't speak to that. Via the Lyft app, it is very
accessible.

Kind regards,
Wayne Merritt

RE: Thoughts on iPhone9?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Unless you really need the better camera and want Face I d there is in my 
opinion not even a good reason to update from an iPhone 8 to an iPhone 11 or 11 
Pro.
Yes, apart from the above you get better battery life and it will be a bit 
faster, but I am always surprised how little difference I notice in most 
day-to-day usage when I get a new phone, e.g. when I updated from my 6S Plus to 
the 8, a jump of 2 generations and one where theoretically the processor is so 
much faster. I’m sure you may see that difference more if you do a lot of 
playing games or other things like maybe video or photo editing and so on, but 
for using my banking app, sending a text or email, using my various home 
automation apps it makes very little difference.

That argument is probably more about whether Huawei should play a roll in 
setting up the 5G infrastructure, I highly doubt a country like New Zealand 
will not have 5G as this is the inevitable next step. It maybe another year or 
two before we see broader availability, but as I said, I buy my iPhones now 
with a 3 to 4 year lifespan in mind. In my opinion the time when upgrading 
every 2 years or even every year are over. The only time I upgraded from one 
iPhone to the next the following year was between 2010 and 2011. I bought my 
first iPhone 4 in 2010 and when the 4S with SIRI came out in 2011 I really 
wanted that. After that I upgraded to a 5S in 2013, 2 years after I got the 4S, 
then I got the 6S Plus in 2015, again 2 years, then I got an iPhone 8 in 2018 
which was 3 years after the 6S Plus. I expect I have the iPhone 8 for 3 years 
and who knows, maybe I’ll even keep it for 4 years, it all depends on what 
deals are being offered. When my wife and I bought the iPhone 8 we actually had 
already decided to stick with our 6S phones for another year and we then would 
have bought probably an XR last year, but around Black Friday in 2018 our 
provider offered the iPhone 8 64Gb for a $150 downpayment and $15 over 2 years 
which adds up to a total of $510 and back then if I had bought an unlocked 
iPhone 8 from Apple it would have been $819 so getting it for $310 less seemed 
like a pretty good deal and after selling my 6S Plus at the time for $400 I 
essentially am paying a bit more than $100. All these prices are Canadian 
Dollars.

If you don’t want to spend the money then why bother to buy this upcoming phone?
Your iPhone 8 is a perfectly fine phone and it will serve you well for another 
2 years, I have one myself and certainly wouldn’t even dream about buying this 
upcoming phone which almost certainly will not have 5G support.
Whether I buy an iPhone 12 in the fall depends greatly on what Apple comes up 
with, but for me it is also unlikely since it will probably have first 
generation support for 5G, and maybe even first generation support for under 
display touch ID, but in my opinion the phones nowadays are such mature 
products and so expensive that I want to get at least 3 years out of one and 
even better 4. I figure if I guy whatever iPhone comes out in the fall of 2021 
I get a model which better supports some of these new technologies, by then my 
iPhone 8 which I only bought in December of 2018 will be 3 years old and it 
will have earned it’s money.
I know some people are on plans which allow them to upgrade each year, but of 
course these types of plans don’t come for free an d in the end Apple and the 
providers get their money out of you.

RE: Re: Bose headphones?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

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 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.

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

 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.

Go Go Grandparent

[mmmat]

Go Go Grandparent was designed for people who do not have a smart phone or are 
not tech savvy enough to use such a device to order Uber or Lyft.  They could 
have done a better job with the name, they are capitalizing on the stereo type 
that older people are not tech savvy.

RE: Bose headphones?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

The Bose QuietComfort 35 is now the "series II" and has built-in support for 
Alexa and Google Assistant. However, even the series II came out already in 
2017 and while still available, the current version of these is now called the 
Bose noise cancelling wireless Bluetooth headphones 700. Of course at $499 
Canadian they are even another $50 more than the QuietComfort 35 series II 
which still cost an expensive $449. And while they say they are light weight, 
they both way over half a pound, 236 grams to be exact, for the QuietComfort 35 
series II and 249 grams for the 700. The on-ear Sony headset I just  bought 
weighs 130 grams, it cost $69.99 and while it doesn't have noise cancellation 
or built-in digital assistants, it sounds actually quite good for a Bluetooth 
headset.
Another classic, available for $440 on Amazon Canada is the  Sony WH1000XM3. It 
is also a Noise Cancelling, Wireless Bluetooth Over the Ear Headphone.
For the Sony it says that in Bluetooth mode the frequency response is 20 to 
20,000 Hz, in passive wired mode (that means hooked up with a cable and power 
turned off) it is 4 to 40,000 Hz, again this shows the loss of quality with 
Bluetooth.
Also just saw that Vision.ca which is a smaller chain of electronics stores in 
Canada sells it for $349.99 which even when converted is less than the $298 
they cost at most places in the US.

Sieghard

Hi Shermeen

 I'm not sure of the cost of them in your part of the world but the sound 
quality and noise cancelling make for a real   emmersion sensation.

 Check them out.

Happy Monday all,

Is anyone using Bose over-the-ear or on-ear headphones? can you comment on 
sound quality of music? I'd like to feel as though I'm right there, conducting 
the orchestra or starring in the song I'm listening to, if you know the feeling 
I'm after. Good bass is a must, although not too obnoxious (you know when 
you're in a car, stopped at a light, and the bass of the car next to you is 
rattling everything within a kilometer range? that's not what I'm after).

And of course, if anyone has other recommendations, that would be great. Note 
that I am not looking for anything that goes in the ear itself.

Thank you!

Shermeen

RE: Phone number for Uber?

[Sieghard Weitzel]

If the dispute is about a fare then I’m pretty sure there is a category for 
that.
I know there is one if there is a problem with a service dog. I once had a 
driver in Calgary who ultimately took me, but when he arrived and saw I had a 
guide dog he started arguing with me and after the ride I reported this to Uber 
via the app. I made sure that I mentioned he was otherwise quite nice, but 
their drivers should know the law and shouldn’t argue about whether I am 
obligated to tell them I have a guide dog or not. I can’t remember how long it 
took any more, I just remember that I received a reply very quickly, whoever 
wrote it apologized on behalf of the driver and Uber and while I had not asked 
for it nor expected it, the cost for my ride was refunded as well.

  You may not notice a lag when playing or resuming audio, but believe me, 
there is no Bluetooth headset at this point with no lag, simply not 
technically possible and it also does not really matter whether it’s 
Bluetooth 2.1, 3, 4, 4.1 or 5.

  I have had relatively inexpensive Bluetooth 2.1 or 3 headsets which had

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:

Re: Phone number for Uber?

[Kathy Brandt]

For the sake of completeness, I should’ve said that once you do get something 
through to Uber sand Lyft support, and they email you back, then is when you 
can really more easily explain something, just making sure that your reply is 
at the top of your email to them, otherwise as they stated in the email, it 
won’t be received if it is below the slashes.

but I am sure that there are many that would be interested in knowing that

Re: Re: Bose headphones?

[Mike B.]

Hi Sieghard,

You stated that this Sony headset charges via, USB-C.  Does this mean if you 
don't have a, USB-C, port you would have to get an adaptor to convert the 
standard USB port to USB-C?  Thanks much.
Take care.  Mike.  Sent from my iBarstool.

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.

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.

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

There are some automated processes you can use for disputing through the app, 
but if your issue doesn’t fit into their categories, it’s not easy, 
particularly with Lyft, where it can be hit and miss operating the combo boxes, 
finding any place at all where you can write, and fulfilling the capcha in a 
timely manner. Just so that I can write with either of these places, I have 
just hijacked a category, explaining that, say, I haven’t lost anything, but 
there was nowhere else I could find to write to explain my situation, and such 
and such happened; a few times I’ve even said that these places need to make it 
easier to right in about problems.
