RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[M. Taylor]

Hello Mary,

If you have either the Open Run Pro or Open Fit model, you can easily enable 
and disable multipoint pairing via the iOS Shock app.  After the app is opened 
and connected to your headset, simply go to Settings and select Multipoint 
Pairing.  Toggle the switch to, on, and have VoiceOver read the simple pairing 
instructions on the display.  This feature does not require eyesight to enable 
or to use.

Well, that’s what I thought should happen. So I pair to my iPhone. Locked it, 
pair to my iPad no problems, lock that. Come back to the iPhone, it absolutely 
doesn’t work. I’ve done it several times over two days, and it’s just not 
working. I guess I should unpaired it and try it again. Otherwise, I guess I 
have to send them back which is too bad, because they meet my use case. But I 
need them to work on two devices, one for workouts and the other for zoom. So, 
if they don’t work they’ll go back and I’m SOL again.

[Richard Turner]

>From the Shokz help center:

How do I pair Opencomm with multiple devices?

Opencomm offers multipoint pairing, which allows users to connect to two 
devices at the same time.
While you won’t receive audio from both devices at the same time, you’ll be 
able to seamlessly transition from one device to the other.
To pair multiple devices through multipoint pairing:

1. Start with your Opencomm off.
2. Press and hold volume+ until Audrey says “pairing” and the LED indicator 
flashes red and blue.
3. Press and hold the multifunction button and volume+ button for 3 
seconds.Audrey says "multipoint enabled."
4. Open your first device's Bluetooth® menu and select "Opencomm by 
Shokz."Audrey says "connected"
5. Turn your Opencomm off.
6. Re-enter pairing mode by pressing and holding volume+ until Audrey says 
“pairing”and the LED indicator flashes red and blue.
7. Open your second device's Bluetooth® menu and select "Opencomm by 
Shokz."Audrey says "connected."
8. Turn your Opencomm off.
9. Turn your Opencomm on. Your Opencomm are now connected to both devices.

Does anyone on this list who has the open fit headphones have a full proof 
way of changing from one paired device to the other paired device, assuming 
you have two devices paired? I can’t do it. My iPhone just will not 
reconnect.

Re: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[Mary Otten]

Well, that’s what I thought should happen. So I pair to my iPhone. Locked it, 
pair to my iPad no problems, lock that. Come back to the iPhone, it absolutely 
doesn’t work. I’ve done it several times over two days, and it’s just not 
working. I guess I should unpaired it and try it again. Otherwise, I guess I 
have to send them back which is too bad, because they meet my use case. But I 
need them to work on two devices, one for workouts and the other for zoom. So, 
if they don’t work they’ll go back and I’m SOL again.

RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[Richard Turner]

I don't know about the OPenFit, but both the OpenRun and OpenComm if you pair 
to two devices, you have to be sure and lock the device you are not using, then 
as soon as you start using the other device, it comes over the headset.
I've done that with my iPad and iPhone on those.
I would think the OPenFit should work the same.
But, should and does are often quite different.

I personally would have gone with something other than Apple AirPods, but I got those for Christmas a few years ago or at least when the second generation AirPods Pro came out not sure when that was but anyway all that being said, I probably would’ve gone with something different but I got what I got and I’m not working right now so I can’t afford to get any of these cause They all sound good but I hope whoever benefits greatly from any recommendations will make a good decision that works best for them. Sent from my iPhoneOn Feb 10, 2024, at 8:00 AM, Richard Turner  wrote:Chela mentioned Sam’s Blind Life review of the Raycon Everyday earbuds.  Below is the link to Sam’s review on Youtube.  He says they have 8 hours of play time and 32 total by charging them in their case, the case can be charged wirelessly.  USBC cable included but of course, like everyone else, no charging block.Regular price $79.99 but if you go through his site to buy them and use the code Blind Life, you get a discount.  He says the sound is very good.  Others that have reviewed them were not so high on the sound quality, but sound, as we know, is very subjective.  You have 30 days to return them.  They are the in-ear earbuds with a variety of different sized tips to fit a wide audience.They have a 1 year warranty.  I personally don’t like things in my ears, which is why I have the regular Shokz OpenRun at $90.  They probably give a solid 6 hours, and maybe more, of listening on one charge and have a 2 year warranty.Here is the link to the Blind Life review of the Everyday Earbuds.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JtwjLbI4z20 HTH, Richard, USA“Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

About the Raycon Everyday Earbuds was Re: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[Richard Turner]

Chela mentioned Sam's Blind Life review of the Raycon Everyday earbuds.
Below is the link to Sam's review on Youtube.  He says they have 8 hours of
play time and 32 total by charging them in their case, the case can be
charged wirelessly.  USBC cable included but of course, like everyone else,
no charging block.

Regular price $79.99 but if you go through his site to buy them and use the
code Blind Life, you get a discount.  He says the sound is very good.
Others that have reviewed them were not so high on the sound quality, but
sound, as we know, is very subjective.  You have 30 days to return them.
They are the in-ear earbuds with a variety of different sized tips to fit a
wide audience.

They have a 1 year warranty.  I personally don't like things in my ears,
which is why I have the regular Shokz OpenRun at $90.  They probably give a
solid 6 hours, and maybe more, of listening on one charge and have a 2 year
warranty.

Here is the link to the Blind Life review of the Everyday Earbuds.

Interesting have you ever heard of Raycon Everyday Earbuds? Sam from The Blind 
Life reviewed them and they seem neat as well. I own the Apple AirPods Pro, not 
sure which version but I know it has very small eartips one can install.

Someone else said they are two separate ear pieces with a hook over your ear to 
stay on.
This is from the web site:
7 hours of battery life with a single charge Up to 28 hours total listening 
time with the charging case A quick 5-minute charge provides 1 hour of 
listening time
IP54 Water Resistance
OpenFit features IP54 water resistance and is designed with a double-layer 
waterproof steel mesh and gauze for additional protection and enhanced sound 
performance.

You can read the entire info at:

I would compare prices with Amazon.

Does the Open fit come as individual pod or are these tied to each other in 
order to prevent from falling? How do we recharge them and whats the battery 
backup for one charge in open fit? I have open com with boom mic and its just 
fine for calls.

CJ, 
I cannot speak to the OpenFit, but the OpenRun has no delay. Since you can 
return them for a refund fairly easily with Amazon and I suspect Shokz 
themselves, I'd give them a try. Again, I have the OpenFit ones that cost about 
$90 that are the bone conduction that loop behind your head and have the hooks 
like a pair of glasses that go in front of your ear from the back and rest on 
the bone just in front of your ears.

Re: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

Hi Mike, Well, the problem seems to have solved itself. I suspect it may have had something to do with the iOS beta. I have not had nearly as much trouble with them connecting to both my iPhone 13 Pro and my new, refurbished,  iPad Mini 6. The iPad is on the release of 17.3 while the iPhone is on 17.4 beta. The OpenRun headset has no issues pairing. At this point, the OpenComm has paired consistently as well. Maybe 1 out of 10 times I have to turn them off and back on to get them paired, but nothing like it was for a while. All that to say, it must have been Gremlins. Later, Richard, USA“Grandma always told us, “Be careful when you pray for patience.

There is a 
standard Open Run by Shokz that was only $90.  My wife and I both got a 
pair when my OpenComm pair was acting like it wasn’t going to pair consistently 
any longer.
She got the 
smaller size, which works for her but she could use one that was a little 
smaller yet, though she really likes them.
 
I do not know what 
the difference is between the Open Run Pro and regular…

I am not Mark, but as far as I know the OpenRun has the round 
neckband similar to the OpenCom and some other older models whereas the OpenFit 
is two individual earbuds which sort of hang on your ears.

Hi

What are the differences 
between the Open Run Pro and the Open fit models in regards as to how you 
wear them?  I currently use the Aftershokz Trekz-Air headset and like the 
way it fits, sounds  and works.  Thanks 
much.

There is a standard Open Run by Shokz that was only $90.  My wife and I both 
got a pair when my OpenComm pair was acting like it wasn’t going to pair 
consistently any longer.

She got the smaller size, which works for her but she could use one that was 
a little smaller yet, though she really likes them.



I do not know what the difference is between the Open Run Pro and regular…

I am not Mark, but as far as I know the OpenRun has the round neckband 
similar to the OpenCom and some other older models whereas the OpenFit is 
two individual earbuds which sort of hang on your ears.

Hi Mark,



What are the differences between the Open Run Pro and the Open fit models in 
regards as to how you wear them?  I currently use the Aftershokz Trekz-Air 
headset and like the way it fits, sounds  and works.  Thanks much.

Subject: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth 
Headphones for iPhone



Hello Everyone,

A couple of days ago, I purchased a pair of the Open Run Pro bone conducting
Bluetooth headsets for use with my iPhone.

I decided to buy a pair because I have a couple of friends who are using the
Open Run models and when talking to them, I cannot tell that they are using
a Bluetooth headset, the microphone quality is that good.

I think they are absolutely amazing.

What I did not discover until after purchasing is that, using the Shock app
for iOS, one can change the voice profile.  Kind of an E.Q. feature that I
absolutely love.

The cost of this model is approximately 180 USD.

In fact, I was so impressed with the Open Run Pro model that, just 2 days
later, I purchased the Open Fit model.

With the Open Fit, you do not only have 4 preset sound profiles, from which
to choose, but you also have a full equalizer feature.

The approximate cost of the Open Fit model is 130 USD.

There are several differences between the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit
model.
1.
The Open Run Pro is bone conduction.

2.
The Open Fit, while not sitting in the ear, uses sound waves to conduct the
sound.

3.
Like Air Pods, the Open Fit can be worn on one ear at a time or on both
ears.

4.
Unlike Air Pods, both the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit can switch between
Apple Watch and iPhone seamlessly as both models can connect to, two,
devices, simultaneously.

You can purchase these models from Amazon or from Shock.com or, like me,
just go into your local Best Buy and grab a pair.

Mark

It does sound like the Open Fit would be the answer for me, provided that I 
don't have lag when inputting text, which is the problem I have had with the 
other devices I've tried.

If you are seeking an Air Pods replacement for general indoor and outdoor use, 
I would definitely recommend the Open Fit model as, for all intent and 
purposes, they work the same as the Air Pods with the added advantage of having 
a tiny hook that goes behind the ear, keeping them firmly in place.

These sound really interesting and may be just what I need.
A few months ago I purchased the Apple Airpods Generation 3 and, although they 
meet my needs, they are really poorly designed as I struggle to keep them in my 
ears and would certainly not risk going outdoors with them. I have tried other 
airpods but found they lagged when inputting text.
So, what I'm asking Is, do you have this issue with either the Open Run Pro 
bone conducting Bluetooth headsets or the Open Fit model and do you have a 
preference? If so, why?

So, if the Open Fit's speaker is located outside and just above the centre of 
the ear, does this mean that the sound can still only be heard by the listener?

Hello Mike,

As I have never used the Open Air models, I don’t think I can answer your 
question with any degree of certainty.

Open Fit is worn more like Air Pods except the speaker is located outside and 
just above the center of your ear while the Open Run Pro speakers sit in front 
of your ear, near the top of your jawbone.

That’s about the best I can do.

Mark, I too was not familiar with the term Open Air, or Open Back, or whatever 
variations there are.  That just means while they transmit sound your ears are 
open to hear the surrounding environment, while bone conduction use vibrations 
through the bones to provide the sound.

You can purchase these models from Amazon or from Shock.com or, like me, just 
go into your local Best Buy and grab a pair.

RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[Richard Turner]

Sieghard is correct.

The big different between the Open Run and OpenComm is that the OPenComm has a 
boom microphone while the Open Run is built-in.

It does sound fine to others I have spoken with.

The OpenComm might sound a little better I haven’t done a side-by-side 
comparison.

Hi Mark,

 

What are the differences between the Open Run Pro and the Open fit models in 
regards as to how you wear them?  I currently use the Aftershokz Trekz-Air 
headset and like the way it fits, sounds  and works.  Thanks much.

Subject: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth 
Headphones for iPhone

 

Hello Everyone,

A couple of days ago, I purchased a pair of the Open Run Pro bone conducting
Bluetooth headsets for use with my iPhone.

I decided to buy a pair because I have a couple of friends who are using the
Open Run models and when talking to them, I cannot tell that they are using
a Bluetooth headset, the microphone quality is that good.

I think they are absolutely amazing.

What I did not discover until after purchasing is that, using the Shock app
for iOS, one can change the voice profile.  Kind of an E.Q. feature that I
absolutely love.

The cost of this model is approximately 180 USD.

In fact, I was so impressed with the Open Run Pro model that, just 2 days
later, I purchased the Open Fit model.  

With the Open Fit, you do not only have 4 preset sound profiles, from which
to choose, but you also have a full equalizer feature.

The approximate cost of the Open Fit model is 130 USD.

There are several differences between the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit
model.
1.
The Open Run Pro is bone conduction.

2.
The Open Fit, while not sitting in the ear, uses sound waves to conduct the
sound.

3.
Like Air Pods, the Open Fit can be worn on one ear at a time or on both
ears.

4.
Unlike Air Pods, both the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit can switch between
Apple Watch and iPhone seamlessly as both models can connect to, two,
devices, simultaneously.

You can purchase these models from Amazon or from Shock.com or, like me,
just go into your local Best Buy and grab a pair.

RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[Richard Turner]

There is a standard Open Run by Shokz that was only $90.  My wife and I both 
got a pair when my OpenComm pair was acting like it wasn’t going to pair 
consistently any longer.

She got the smaller size, which works for her but she could use one that was a 
little smaller yet, though she really likes them.

 

I do not know what the difference is between the Open Run Pro and regular…

RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[CJ & AA MAY]

These sound really interesting and may be just what I need.
A few months ago I purchased the Apple Airpods Generation 3 and, although they 
meet my needs, they are really poorly designed as I struggle to keep them in my 
ears and would certainly not risk going outdoors with them. I have tried other 
airpods but found they lagged when inputting text.
So, what I'm asking Is, do you have this issue with either the Open Run Pro 
bone conducting Bluetooth headsets or the Open Fit model and do you have a 
preference? If so, why?

Bluetooth headsets for use with my iPhone.

I decided to buy a pair because I have a couple of friends who are using the 
Open Run models and when talking to them, I cannot tell that they are using a 
Bluetooth headset, the microphone quality is that good.

I think they are absolutely amazing.

What I did not discover until after purchasing is that, using the Shock app for 
iOS, one can change the voice profile.  Kind of an E.Q. feature that I 
absolutely love.

The cost of this model is approximately 180 USD.

In fact, I was so impressed with the Open Run Pro model that, just 2 days 
later, I purchased the Open Fit model.  

With the Open Fit, you do not only have 4 preset sound profiles, from which to 
choose, but you also have a full equalizer feature.

The approximate cost of the Open Fit model is 130 USD.

There are several differences between the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit model.
1.
The Open Run Pro is bone conduction.

2.
The Open Fit, while not sitting in the ear, uses sound waves to conduct the 
sound.

3.
Like Air Pods, the Open Fit can be worn on one ear at a time or on both ears.

4.
Unlike Air Pods, both the Open Run Pro and the Open Fit can switch between 
Apple Watch and iPhone seamlessly as both models can connect to, two, devices, 
simultaneously.

You can purchase these models from Amazon or from Shock.com or, like me, just 
go into your local Best Buy and grab a pair.

Mark

RE: Mark on the Aftershock (Shock) Open Run Pro and Open Fit Bluetooth Headphones for iPhone

[M. Taylor]

Mary,

On your iPhone, if you type in Aftershock, in the search field of the App 
Store, you will see the app used to configure both the Open Run and Open Fit 
models.

Although every function of the app is VoiceOver accessible, some of the button 
labels are a little bit weird even though they do make sense.  

The primary reason you will use the app is to configure the sound profile, 
(music, Vocal, etc.), update the firmware, and enable or disable multipoint 
functionality.  Be patient with the app and with yourself.

Mark

I just looked for an app in the App Store called shock as spelled in a message. 
I didn’t find anything useful. I did find something that I thought might be it, 
because it was spelled SHOKZ which is how I remember this having been spelled. 
But when I tapped on that, I got some app that was called speaker connect And 
gave me a three day trial with a subscription every month after that. I’m quite 
sure that’s not what I want. Can anybody give me a hint as to just what I need 
to search onto actually find this app. Thanks.

You can also change the equalizer by pressing and holding both the volume up 
and down button at the same time until the change is announced.
Be sure to keep the box it came in as well as a copy of your receipt. I too 
have the Open Run and have had other models throughout the years. I love the 
bone conduction feature as it leaves my ears open. I'm one of those blindies 
who loses all sense of direction if my ears are covered up. Anyway... the 
reason I say to hold onto all your stuff for the headset is that for every 
single version I've had, I have had to get a replacement roughly a year after 
purchase. Getting a replacement thankfully is pretty seamless and it's a 
generous 2 year warranty, but just something to keep in mind. This really is 
the only gripe I have about the Shokz headsets.

Hello Alison, you would want to make sure your Bluetooth headphones are 
charged. You would turn your Bluetooth headphones on go to settings and 
Bluetooth on your iPhone and see if your phone recognizes the Bluetooth 
headphones. If it does, you would want to go ahead and have your phone connect 
to your Bluetooth headphones.

If you have any further questions I would be willing to talk with you about 
this off list if needed.

I now have a new iPhone that does not have a headphone jack. I happen to have a 
couple of pair a Bluetooth headphones that I have paired up with yet.  By the 
way, you can get an adapter for these phones without headphone jack so that you 
can actually use regular headphones on your iPhone.

Take care,

RE: bluetooth headphones

[CJ & AA MAY]

Thanks for these tips. It was so easy pairing my Ipods with my iphone that I 
rather naively assumed the same would be the case with these Bluetooth 
headphones. 

However, when I ask my Google Home speaker to pair with my Iphone, it tells me 
to go to Settings and then Bluetooth and then look for Sittingroom Speaker and 
then pair – but my Iphone isn’t seeing the sittingroom speaker.

My standard headphones don’t seem to fit into the lightning port of my new SE 
Iphone so I can only use my Bluetooth devices but have recently seen a little 
dongle device which plugs into the charging lightning port and has an extension 
into which you can plug your standard headphones.

Your iPhone still has a headphone jack, it is the Lightning port where you also 
plug in the charging cable.

I don’t know which iPhone you have and maybe the iPhone 13 does no longer ship 
with the Apple Earpods with Lightning port, but you can get a set for I think 
$19 from Apple and I highly recommend it as a backup.

Subject: bluetooth headphones

 

As my new Iphone doesn’t have a port for headphones, I am using my Ibuds, which 
is fine, but today the battery ran down in them. No problem, I thought, I have 
some Bluetooth headphones. The problem is my Iphone isn’t seeing them. I know 
they are charged as I can use them with my computer.

Is there a way to force/encourage the Iphone to see Bluetooth devices?

Even when I told my Google Home speaker to pair with my Iphone, it told me to 
go to settings and then Bluetooth to pair, but my Google Home speaker wasn’t 
listed.

Alison

Hanks for this advice. I’ll get my husband to read the box that the Bluetooth 
headphones came in.

And of course all Bluetooth devices typically have to be put in pairing mode if 
you use them for the first time with your iPhone.

Some devices may have a dedicated button, others you have to push and hold the 
on/off button for 5 seconds after you turn them on and yet others may ask you 
to push something like volume up as you power them on.

The fact is you just don’t know what it is unless you know the exact make and 
model of your device and look it up.

Hello Alison, you would want to make sure your Bluetooth headphones are 
charged. You would turn your Bluetooth headphones on go to settings and 
Bluetooth on your iPhone and see if your phone recognizes the Bluetooth 
headphones. If it does, you would want to go ahead and have your phone connect 
to your Bluetooth headphones.

If you have any further questions I would be willing to talk with you about 
this off list if needed.

I now have a new iPhone that does not have a headphone jack. I happen to have a 
couple of pair a Bluetooth headphones that I have paired up with yet.  By the 
way, you can get an adapter for these phones without headphone jack so that you 
can actually use regular headphones on your iPhone.

Take care,

Michael

RE: bluetooth headphones

[CJ & AA MAY]

When I got my new SE Iphone a couple of weeks ago, I didn’t receive a charger 
or Bluetooth headphones. The guy in the shop said there is a move for all 
mobile phones, whether they be android or Apple devices, to use the same power 
outlets so it will not matter which mobile phone you are charging as the new 
chargers will suit any and all phones.

My friend has purchased via Amazon a little dongle which plugs into the 
recharing outlet and into which you can fit your traditional headphones, which 
I think I will invest in.

RE: bluetooth headphones

[Richard Turner]

The Bluetooth headphones have to be in pairing mode for the iPHone to see them.

You would have to check how to get it into pairing mode from the manufacturer, 
or give us the brand and model and maybe someone here already knows how to do 
that.

You also cannot be actively using them with the computer when you are pairing 
with another device unless they have the ability to pair with more than one 
device and then switch devices as needed.

 

And, your iPhone does have an earphone port, just not the 3.5 jack.  It uses 
the same port as the power cable, so you need an approximately $8 adapter from 
Apple to connect older style headphones with the 3.5 MM plug to the iPhone.

 

You just cannot use headphones while charging unless you buy a much more 
expensive adapter that allows charging and wired headphones to be plugged in.

Hello Alison, you would want to make sure your Bluetooth headphones are 
charged. You would turn your Bluetooth headphones on go to settings and 
Bluetooth on your iPhone and see if your phone recognizes the Bluetooth 
headphones. If it does, you would want to go ahead and have your phone connect 
to your Bluetooth headphones.

If you have any further questions I would be willing to talk with you about 
this off list if needed.

I now have a new iPhone that does not have a headphone jack. I happen to have a 
couple of pair a Bluetooth headphones that I have paired up with yet.  By the 
way, you can get an adapter for these phones without headphone jack so that you 
can actually use regular headphones on your iPhone.

Take care,

Michael

Bluetooth headphones

[khaffar]

Hi everyone:

Just wondering if anyone could recommend a good Bluetooth in the ear buds which 
works well with Voiceover. I tried the Bose Quiet Comfort, they sound great for 
listening to music but Voiceover lags when typing which is a problem. I know 
the Airpods work well but I want something different than the Airpods.

Thank you,

Kamal

Tribit XFree Tune Headphones, was Re: Bluetooth headphones

[Arnold Schmidt]

I would like to second the recommendation of these headphones. They normally 
sell for $39 on Amazon, but one day,  they were the deal of the day for $27. I 
decided to take a chance on them, being that I could return them if I didn't 
like them, I did not return them. I prefer what use to be called the classical 
sound, being that a lot of the music I listen to is classical, or acoustic 
jazz. This so-called classical sound emphacizes the midrange and treble, but 
without pumping up the bass. Ocasionally, I wish these headphones had slightly 
less bass, or slightly more treble, but by no means are they that   modern, or 
JBL sound, with that booming bass and not much treble. They are advertised to 
run for 40 hours on a charge, and although I have never tested this, I believe 
it, being that I have run them for hours and have never seen the icon drop 
below 70 percent. If something were to happen to them, yes, I  would buy them 
again, even for $39.This company also makes a pair of bluetooth earbuds, 
and several bluetooth speakers, but I know nothing about these products.

A little heads up, the dongle can be stored  inside the cover on the left

Here are some really good instruction I got from Mike B:

Device selection switch, located at the rear of the right ear piece.
When you have the headset on, the device selection switch on the right ear can 
be slid to its bottom setting for off, the middle setting for Bluetooth, and 
the top setting for RF with the dongle / receiver plugged into the computer.

Volume up, located at 12:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

Hi 

The H600 have a real small cup that fits on your ear. I had a friend that had 
the H600 and he did not like them as well as the H800 due to the small cups. I 
don’t know anything else about them.

RE: H800 Instructions, Re: Bluetooth headphones

[Mr. Ed]

Hi,

I found that when you want to go to blutooth on the H800 it is a lot easier to 
push the switch to the top then slide it back to the middle position. It seems 
that if you try and go from the off position and try and push it to the 
Bluetooth position you often go to far. Just my two cents worth.

Subject: H800 Instructions, Re: Bluetooth headphones

If you are on the computer and your phone rings, you just slide the switch 
from USB to BT. 
A little heads up, the dongle can be stored  inside the cover on the left 
earpiece.
Here are some really good instruction I got from Mike B:

Device selection switch, located at the rear of the right ear piece.
When you have the headset on, the device selection switch on the right ear 
can be slid to its bottom setting for off, the middle setting for Bluetooth, 
and the top setting for RF with the dongle / receiver plugged into the computer.

Volume up, located at 12:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

Volume down, located at 6:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

Microphone mute, located at 9:00 on the face of the right ear piece.
The mute button mutes all sound input to the headset when playing music.
The mute button mutes the boom microphone when on the phone.

Play/pause or Answer call/end call, located at 3:00 on the face of the 
right ear piece.

Next track/Fast Forward, located at the bottom of the right ear piece 
between the USB port and the power/device selection switch.
Press the button down towards the charging port for, Next Track / Fast 
Forward.

Previous track/Rewind, located at the bottom of the right ear piece between 
the USB port and the power/device selection switch.
Press the button up towards the device selection switch for, Previous Track 
/ Rewind.

The left ear piece has two small tactile dots on it.  If you turn the cover 
until the two dots are lined up, the cover will come off and inside there is 
the battery, which can be replaced by someone with jeweler tools; and a spot to 
store the RF dongle when not in use with the computer.

Having just received them, I don’t think they are and I can hear things around 
me wich for me is great since I have animals. I don’t want the kind that cup 
your ears all around. these are on the ear. I love them. thanks all for this 
thread. I also have found that if I use all bluetooth, sometimes the headset 
doesn’t switch all the time. this way I can go between my phone and pc myself.

Re: H800 Instructions, Re: Bluetooth headphones

[Richard Turner]

Viola,
charging off the PC is fine. It may take longer.
I used my iPhone charger and just plugged the provided cable into it.


For the person wanting to know the size, they cover your entire ear, and a bit 
more.
They are not as bulky as some I have owned, but bulky is in the fingers of the 
beholder.
If you do not like them, you can return them
It is hard to answer such questions.
You are better off trying them for yourself.

I will keep these. 

With my little sports one, I was on a call, got one, but I don't know if I 
didn't hold the button long enough or not for long enough, but I couldn't get 
the other call like the directions said I could by pushing the call/call-end 
button. 

That is one reason it is worth more money to go to Wal-Mart, to get a little 
help and make sure the thing will work for me and that I use it right.

The thing is, that if we see the guy we've seen before at Wal-Mart electronics, 
he'd let me try a Logitech. If I could be sure it works better than the 
seven-dollar one, I'd get it. I rather think that it will work better than the 
little sports one, which is probably a good make do for someone with no hearing 
loss. 

Bluetooth is so dependable with my hearing aids, that I know with a good set, 
I'd be pleased with it.

use a USB connection on my wall outlet?

They recommend charging them for three hours. 
I suspect there is some charge, but probably best to follow their instructions.
I will ad that.

  If you are on the computer and your phone rings, you just slide the switch 
from USB to BT. 
  A little heads up, the dongle can be stored  inside the cover on the left 
earpiece.
  Here are some really good instruction I got from Mike B:

  Device selection switch, located at the rear of the right ear piece.
  When you have the headset on, the device selection switch on the right ear 
can be slid to its bottom setting for off, the middle setting for Bluetooth, 
and the top setting for RF with the dongle / receiver plugged into the computer.

  Volume up, located at 12:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

  Volume down, located at 6:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

  Microphone mute, located at 9:00 on the face of the right ear piece.
  The mute button mutes all sound input to the headset when playing music.
  The mute button mutes the boom microphone when on the phone.

  Play/pause or Answer call/end call, located at 3:00 on the face of the right 
ear piece.

  Next track/Fast Forward, located at the bottom of the right ear piece between 
the USB port and the power/device selection switch.
  Press the button down towards the charging port for, Next Track / Fast 
Forward.

  Previous track/Rewind, located at the bottom of the right ear piece between 
the USB port and the power/device selection switch.
  Press the button up towards the device selection switch for, Previous Track / 
Rewind.

  The left ear piece has two small tactile dots on it.  If you turn the cover 
until the two dots are lined up, the cover will come off and inside there is 
the battery, which can be replaced by someone with jeweler tools; and a spot to 
store the RF dongle when not in use with the computer.

an iPhone via Bluetooth and the fact that they only cost $60.

  I doubt you find a Bose Quiet Comfort 35 II for that price, here in

You can have two things to switch between.

A bluetooth paired item, like a cell phone.

Then something with a usb port that can route the audio through the
USB dongle, normally a computer.

I've not heard of TV'S with a USB audio out port, or bluetooth for
that matter.

There is a three position switch on the back of the right ear.

Off, Bluetooth, and RF usb which communicates through the little dongle.

Well, they are only $349.00 US at Walmart. 
You could buy almost 6 of the H800 for the same price.
20 hours of battery life is quite impressive, but not worth that much to me.
Yes, they probably sound amazing too,.

Carolyn,
They come with a very small USB dongle that transmit the audio to the 
headphones over a specific Radio Frequency; at least I believe that is what RF 
stands for.
So, you could pair them via Bluetooth with the computer instead of the 
phone, but they are designed to pair with the phone via Bluetooth and the 
computer via the USB dongle.
In the box, the little USB dongle was tightly in the middle of the 
plastic that the headphones sit in, inside the box.
But, there is a cover on the left earpiece that you can turn about an 
eighth of a turn and remove, and there is a spot in there to store the USB 
dongle when not in use.
The cover has a dot on it that is tactile, and one on the rim of the 
opening that is also tactile.  If you line them up, the cover can come off, or 
you line them up when putting it back on and then turn it clockwise about an 
eighth of a turn or less and it locks into place.
I like them very much and seem to be getting at least 5 or 6 hours out 
of a charge in the first couple of days.

Walmart does carry them, but they charge $72, while Amazon and Best Buy 
are 60.99 and 61.99 respectively.

RE: Bluetooth headphones

[Sieghard Weitzel]

Don’t forget that they are still Bluetooth and while Bluetooth has certainly 
improved with respect to sound quality it’s still not the same as a high-end 
set of wired headphones or a Sennheiser wireless in that price class which 
works with a digital transmitter. I am still waiting for Sonos to release a 
headset and I would have no problem paying $400 or $500 for that, but also only 
if it had replaceable batteries because there is simply no point in paying that 
much for a device which has a 4 or 5 year life span because after that the 
built-in lithium battery doesn’t hold much of a charge any more.

RE: Bluetooth headphones

[Sieghard Weitzel]

You asked about using it for a TV, the PC is no problem, all you have to do is 
plug in the little USB receiver, it is already paired to the headset so once 
that  is plugged in and the slider switch is pushed all the way  up to the top 
it will automatically work. If you push it up one click into the middle 
position which is Bluetooth you then have to look in Settings > Bluetooth on 
your iPhone and see if the Logitech H800 are listed, tap on them and they will 
also pair. This is just a one-time process, after that whenever you push the 
switch into the middle position they reconnect to your iPhone automatically.

You can have two things to switch between. 

A bluetooth paired item, like a cell phone.

Then something with a usb port that can route the audio through the USB dongle, 
normally a computer.

I've not heard of TV'S with a USB audio out port, or bluetooth for that matter.

There is a three position switch on the back of the right ear.

Off, Bluetooth, and RF usb which communicates through the little dongle.

Carolyn,
They come with a very small USB dongle that transmit the audio to the 
headphones over a specific Radio Frequency; at least I believe that is what RF 
stands for.
So, you could pair them via Bluetooth with the computer instead of the 
phone, but they are designed to pair with the phone via Bluetooth and the 
computer via the USB dongle.
In the box, the little USB dongle was tightly in the middle of the 
plastic that the headphones sit in, inside the box.
But, there is a cover on the left earpiece that you can turn about an 
eighth of a turn and remove, and there is a spot in there to store the USB 
dongle when not in use.
The cover has a dot on it that is tactile, and one on the rim of the 
opening that is also tactile.  If you line them up, the cover can come off, or 
you line them up when putting it back on and then turn it clockwise about an 
eighth of a turn or less and it locks into place.
I like them very much and seem to be getting at least 5 or 6 hours out 
of a charge in the first couple of days.

Walmart does carry them, but they charge $72, while Amazon and Best Buy 
are 60.99 and 61.99 respectively.

I don't know if they have the Logitech H800 at Walmart. I have never seen them

You don't have to be a member to order from Amazon. A Amazon Prime membership 
simply gives you a bit faster shipping and sometimes a lower minimum to get 
free shipping, but you wouldn't pay shipping if you ordered this $60.99 headset 
from them and you would most likely have it 2 days later or 3 at the most.

You can get these most places where electronics are sold, Amazon, Best Buy, 
Walmart, Target etc.

 

Walmart is expensive at $72.06 
<https://www.walmart.com/ip/Logitech-H800-Wireless-Headset/17803212> 

 

Best Buy seems to be next with $61.99 
<https://www.bestbuy.com/site/logitech-h800-wireless-headset-black/3436994.p?skuId=3436994=nosplash>
 

 

Amazon seems to be the least expensive by a little at $60.99 
<https://www.amazon.com/s?k=logitech+h800=nb_sb_noss_2> 

 

Ed also mentioned you can get them on eBay for $49.99, but I didn’t check and 
whenever I tried to look them up on Target it redirected me to some 
international site which told me that I can now order from Target in Canada via

Hi Richard,

Question 1:You can take the side cover off and replace the battery. The 
batteries that come with them last a long time. I have had some last three or 
four years and I use my headsets every day.

Question 2:they have sound coming out both left and right I believe in 
Stereo.

Question 3:the band goes on top of the head. They are nice and light as 
I have worn them for eight to ten hours a day.

 

Also I wear hearing aids and they sit on top of my hearing aids just fine. Nice 
soft pads. They sit on the ear. They are not the cup kind wear your ear goes 
inside.

If you have any other questions please feel free to asked.

Mr. Ed

 

Hi Mr. Ed,

These logictech sound interesting.

I did not find anything about replacing the battery?

Also, are these stereo or single ear?

Lastly, do they wrap around the back of the head or over the top if stereo?

 

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

I have many sets of the Logitech H800 they are very good sounding  They have no 
Bluetooth lagging with VO as far as I can tell. I have used them for many 
years. They are very light and comfortable. You can use them on the computer 
with the mini dongle or you can Bluetooth them to a computer or iPhone. I do 
both. I also use them for Facetime and talking on my IPhone. The battery I 
think last about five or six hours. I have put a bigger battery 320 amp and it 
last for eight to nine hours I think as I have never timed it.

You can get them on ebay or Amazon. They also fold up for easy traveling.

Hi all.

I am after recommendations of Bluetooth headphones for my wife. She wants the 
big over the head ones with the big padded ear things that look like earmuffs.

She just wants some cheap ones, but with reasonable sound. We bought some off 
amazon but they cause her voiceover to lag loads.

Does anyone know any that work with the speech without lagging.

Thanks

Re: Bluetooth headphones

[Richard Turner]

You can have two things to switch between.
A bluetooth paired item, like a cell phone.
Then something with a usb port that can route the audio through the USB dongle, 
normally a computer.
I've not heard of TV'S with a USB audio out port, or bluetooth for that matter.
There is a three position switch on the back of the right ear.
Off, Bluetooth, and RF usb which communicates through the little dongle.

Carolyn,
They come with a very small USB dongle that transmit the audio to the 
headphones over a specific Radio Frequency; at least I believe that is what RF 
stands for.
So, you could pair them via Bluetooth with the computer instead of the phone, 
but they are designed to pair with the phone via Bluetooth and the computer via 
the USB dongle.
In the box, the little USB dongle was tightly in the middle of the plastic that 
the headphones sit in, inside the box.
But, there is a cover on the left earpiece that you can turn about an eighth of 
a turn and remove, and there is a spot in there to store the USB dongle when 
not in use.
The cover has a dot on it that is tactile, and one on the rim of the opening 
that is also tactile.  If you line them up, the cover can come off, or you line 
them up when putting it back on and then turn it clockwise about an eighth of a 
turn or less and it locks into place.
I like them very much and seem to be getting at least 5 or 6 hours out of a 
charge in the first couple of days.

Walmart does carry them, but they charge $72, while Amazon and Best Buy are 
60.99 and 61.99 respectively.
Here is the Walmart link:

I think Mr. Ed said Ebay was even less.

You don't have to be a member to order from Amazon. A Amazon Prime membership 
simply gives you a bit faster shipping and sometimes a lower minimum to get 
free shipping, but you wouldn't pay shipping if you ordered this $60.99 headset 
from them and you would most likely have it 2 days later or 3 at the most.

To have them work on your computer all you have to do is plug the little Nano

push the switch on the headset  all the way to the top and it will connect to 
your computer wirelessly. That is all there is to it to connect it to your

Marie,
Thanks for the instructions.
That will save me some time with trying to scan or find the manual online.
 They claim a frequency range of 31 to 15,000 hertz  .
That should be fine for most music unless it has orchestra then you will likely 
miss out on the high frequencies.

Personally, I'm mostly interested in them for books, Email, etc.
I have really good wired headphones for music listening, so I'm hoping these 
will do the trick for me.

These do go over the head and are quite comfortable. The sound is decent but in 
my opinion, not the best for music. But you can use the USB dongle for use with 
the computer and have it paired via

blue tooth to your iPhone. If you are on the computer and your phone rings, you 
just slide the switch from USB to BT. A little heads up, the dongle is inside 
the cover on the left earpiece.
Here are some really good instruction I got from Mike B:

Device selection switch, located at the rear of the right ear piece.
When you have the headset on, the device selection switch on the right ear can 
be slid to its bottom setting for off, the middle setting for Bluetooth, and 
the top setting for RF with the dongle / receiver plugged into the computer.

Volume up, located at 12:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

Volume down, located at 6:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

Microphone mute, located at 9:00 on the face of the right ear piece.
The mute button mutes all sound input to the headset when playing music.
The mute button mutes the boom microphone when on the phone.

Play/pause or Answer call/end call, located at 3:00 on the face of the right 
ear piece.

Next track/Fast Forward, located at the bottom of the right ear piece between 
the USB port and the power/device selection switch.
Press the button down towards the charging port for, Next Track / Fast Forward.

Previous track/Rewind, located at the bottom of the right ear piece between the 
USB port and the power/device selection switch.
Press the button up towards the device selection switch for, Previous Track / 
Rewind.

To put into pairing mode:
press the next toggle button on the bottom and the volume up button at the same 
time for around 7 seconds. On an I device be in BT setting and you will see the 
headset so double tap on it and it should pair easily.

I bought mine for around $65 at BestBuy last year, but found myself not really 
using them and ended up selling them for $50 on one of the buy/sell blind

Walmart is expensive at $72.06

Hi Richard,

Question 1:You can take the side cover off and replace the battery. The 
batteries that come with them last a long time. I have had some last three or 
four years and I use my headsets every day.

Question 2:they have sound coming out both left and right I believe in 
Stereo.

Question 3:the band goes on top of the head. They are nice and light as 
I have worn them for eight to ten hours a day.

 

Also I wear hearing aids and they sit on top of my hearing aids just fine. Nice 
soft pads. They sit on the ear. They are not the cup kind wear your ear goes 
inside.

If you have any other questions please feel free to asked.

Mr. Ed

 

Hi Mr. Ed,

These logictech sound interesting.

I did not find anything about replacing the battery?

Also, are these stereo or single ear?

Lastly, do they wrap around the back of the head or over the top if stereo?

 

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Richard,

I have many sets of the Logitech H800 they are very good sounding  They have no 
Bluetooth lagging with VO as far as I can tell. I have used them for many 
years. They are very light and comfortable. You can use them on the computer 
with the mini dongle or you can Bluetooth them to a computer or iPhone. I do 
both. I also use them for Facetime and talking on my IPhone. The battery I 
think last about five or six hours. I have put a bigger battery 320 amp and it 
last for eight to nine hours I think as I have never timed it.

You can get them on ebay or Amazon. They also fold up for easy traveling.

RE: Bluetooth headphones

[Richard Turner]

Carolyn,
They come with a very small USB dongle that transmit the audio to the 
headphones over a specific Radio Frequency; at least I believe that is what RF 
stands for.
So, you could pair them via Bluetooth with the computer instead of the phone, 
but they are designed to pair with the phone via Bluetooth and the computer via 
the USB dongle.
In the box, the little USB dongle was tightly in the middle of the plastic that 
the headphones sit in, inside the box.
But, there is a cover on the left earpiece that you can turn about an eighth of 
a turn and remove, and there is a spot in there to store the USB dongle when 
not in use.
The cover has a dot on it that is tactile, and one on the rim of the opening 
that is also tactile.  If you line them up, the cover can come off, or you line 
them up when putting it back on and then turn it clockwise about an eighth of a 
turn or less and it locks into place.
I like them very much and seem to be getting at least 5 or 6 hours out of a 
charge in the first couple of days.

Walmart does carry them, but they charge $72, while Amazon and Best Buy are 
60.99 and 61.99 respectively.
Here is the Walmart link:
https://www.walmart.com/ip/Logitech-H800-Wireless-Headset/17803212

I think Mr. Ed said Ebay was even less.
I bought mine at Best buy because there is a store close by.

Hi Carolyn,
To have them work on your computer all you have to do is plug the little Nano 
that comes with them into your usb on your computer. Then all you have to do is 
push the switch on the headset  all the way to the top and it will connect to 
your computer wirelessly. That is all there is to it to connect it to your 
computer.

Marie,
Thanks for the instructions.
That will save me some time with trying to scan or find the manual online.
 They claim a frequency range of 31 to 15,000 hertz  .
That should be fine for most music unless it has orchestra then you will likely 
miss out on the high frequencies.

Personally, I'm mostly interested in them for books, Email, etc.
I have really good wired headphones for music listening, so I'm hoping these 
will do the trick for me.

Hi Richard,
Question 1: You can take the side cover off and replace the battery. The 
batteries that come with them last a long time. I have had some last three or 
four years and I use my headsets every day.
Question 2: they have sound coming out both left and right I believe in 
Stereo.
Question 3: the band goes on top of the head. They are nice and light as I 
have worn them for eight to ten hours a day.

Also I wear hearing aids and they sit on top of my hearing aids just fine. Nice 
soft pads. They sit on the ear. They are not the cup kind wear your ear goes 
inside.
If you have any other questions please feel free to asked.
Mr. Ed

Hi Mr. Ed,
These logictech sound interesting.
I did not find anything about replacing the battery?
Also, are these stereo or single ear?
Lastly, do they wrap around the back of the head or over the top if stereo?

Thanks,
Richard

Hi Richard,
I have many sets of the Logitech H800 they are very good sounding  They have no 
Bluetooth lagging with VO as far as I can tell. I have used them for many 
years. They are very light and comfortable. You can use them on the computer 
with the mini dongle or you can Bluetooth them to a computer or iPhone. I do 
both. I also use them for Facetime and talking on my IPhone. The battery I 
think last about five or six hours. I have put a bigger battery 320 amp and it 
last for eight to nine hours I think as I have never timed it.
You can get them on ebay or Amazon. They also fold up for easy traveling.
Mr. Ed

Hi all.
I am after recommendations of Bluetooth headphones for my wife. She wants the 
big over the head ones with the big padded ear things that look like earmuffs.
She just wants some cheap ones, but with reasonable sound. We bought some off 
amazon but they cause her voiceover to lag loads.
Does anyone know any that work with the speech without lagging.
Thanks
Richard

RE: Bluetooth headphones

How do you pair it to the computer? Where do you go to do that? It would be 
nice if a set served for the computer and for the phone.

I use the Sennheiser 4.40 BT HD. They are over the head and around the ear kind 
of Bluetooth headset. You can connect to the desktop via either Bluetooth or 
using the 3.5 wire jack that comes with them. Because they are so large the 
batteries last over fifteen hours. Thy can support up to eight connections, 
however, I have not figured out how to switch from one connection to the next.

I also have the H800, I use them mostly for my laptop with the USB dongle and I 
find them comfortable, but for such a relatively big set of headsets I wish 
they would have put in a bit of a bigger battery. I think they get 6 or 8 hours.

Marie,
Thanks for the instructions.
That will save me some time with trying to scan or find the manual online.
 They claim a frequency range of 31 to 15,000 hertz  .
That should be fine for most music unless it has orchestra then you will likely 
miss out on the high frequencies.

Personally, I'm mostly interested in them for books, Email, etc.
I have really good wired headphones for music listening, so I'm hoping these 
will do the trick for me.

These do go over the head and are quite comfortable. The sound is decent but in 
my opinion, not the best for music. But you can use the USB dongle for use with 
the computer and have it paired via

blue tooth to your iPhone. If you are on the computer and your phone rings, you 
just slide the switch from USB to BT. A little heads up, the dongle is inside 
the cover on the left earpiece.
Here are some really good instruction I got from Mike B:

Device selection switch, located at the rear of the right ear piece.
When you have the headset on, the device selection switch on the right ear can 
be slid to its bottom setting for off, the middle setting for Bluetooth, and 
the top setting for RF with the dongle / receiver plugged into the computer.

Volume up, located at 12:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

Volume down, located at 6:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

Microphone mute, located at 9:00 on the face of the right ear piece.
The mute button mutes all sound input to the headset when playing music.
The mute button mutes the boom microphone when on the phone.

Play/pause or Answer call/end call, located at 3:00 on the face of the right 
ear piece.

Next track/Fast Forward, located at the bottom of the right ear piece between 
the USB port and the power/device selection switch.
Press the button down towards the charging port for, Next Track / Fast Forward.

Previous track/Rewind, located at the bottom of the right ear piece between the 
USB port and the power/device selection switch.
Press the button up towards the device selection switch for, Previous Track / 
Rewind.

To put into pairing mode:
press the next toggle button on the bottom and the volume up button at the same 
time for around 7 seconds. On an I device be in BT setting and you will see the 
headset so double tap on it and it should pair easily.
HTH, Marie

RE: Bluetooth headphones

[Mr. Ed]

Hi Richard,

The easiest way I have found to do this is to move the switch all the way up 
and then I move it down to the middle. When I try and move it from the off 
position to the middle position it is hard to stop right on the middle 
position. So again I move the switch to the top then use my finger nail to move 
it down to the middle position as tis usually works every time for me.

Let me know if this worked better for you.

Mr. Ed

A couple of times in the two days I’ve had them, I have had to turn them off

connect.

I sat there for 30 to 40 seconds with nothing happening.

That is not usually something I experienced. As ed says, the switch could be

Marie,

Thanks for the instructions.

That will save me some time with trying to scan or find the manual online.

They claim a frequency range of 31 to 15,000 hertz  .

That should be fine for most music unless it has orchestra then you will likely 
miss out on the high frequencies.

Mr. Ed,
Do you ever find that when you slide the switch to Bluetooth, nothing happens?

A couple of times in the two days I’ve had them, I have had to turn them off 
and on a couple times before the Bluetooth beep would sound and they would 
connect.
I sat there for 30 to 40 seconds with nothing happening.



Richard

 Live long and prosper

the switch or neither has anyone else that I know that has had them. As far as 
the battery goes I purchase a 320 ma battery and put that in and I believe you 
can get from 10 to 12 hours. I do still like these headset very much as you can 
go from computer to iPhone very easy. Also they don’t have an lag when using my 
iPhone. Of course I don’t listen to music so I can’t comment on that. I think 
these are a great headset for the money as you can do the iPhone, computer and 
connect to phone calls. I use mine also for listening to audio books. Again I 
don’t think you can compare these to a pair of headset that cost hundreds of 
dollars as these a quite inexpensive for what they do.

While I agree they are fairly comfortable, I wouldn't go as far as to say you 
don't know you have them on. They are still a reasonably large headset with a 
broad band over the top of your head and I certainly have no problems telling 
whether I have them or not. But we have to be patient with Ed, he is pretty 
old, probably getting a bit senile so I don't blame him for forgetting that he 
is wearing a headset 藍

Hi,

They are not the big over the ear cup style. The pad on the side of them is 
about 3 inches around and they sit on top of the ear. Yes you can hear other 
things around. I like this style because they sit on top of my hearing aids and 
they are very light weight. When you have them on you don't even know you have 
them on.

Mr. Ed

I have really good wired headphones for music listening, so I'm hoping these 
will do the trick for me.

These do go over the head and are quite comfortable. The sound is decent but in 
my opinion, not the best for music. But you can use the USB dongle for use with 
the computer and have it paired via

 

blue tooth to your iPhone. If you are on the computer and your phone rings, you 
just slide the switch from USB to BT. A little heads up, the dongle is inside 
the cover on the left earpiece.

Here are some really good instruction I got from Mike B:

 

Device selection switch, located at the rear of the right ear piece.

When you have the headset on, the device selection switch on the right ear can 
be slid to its bottom setting for off, the middle setting for Bluetooth, and 
the top setting for RF with the dongle / receiver plugged into the computer.

 

Volume up, located at 12:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

 

Volume down, located at 6:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

 

Microphone mute, located at 9:00 on the face of the right ear piece.

The mute button mutes all sound input to the headset when playing music.

The mute button mutes the boom microphone when on the phone.

 

Play/pause or Answer call/end call, located at 3:00
