Re: The bluetooth issue people are experiencing, it's not just bose
Hello, I came across this site after listening to some demos of speakers on YouTube. Not sure whether it os use to anyone but if you like take a look at: http://switcher.oluvsgadgets.net/ There are recordings of various speakers and it is recommended to listen to them with headphones. I know these things are subjective but worth a look I think.

RE: The bluetooth issue people are experiencing, it's not just bose
To me a small loss of sound quality in this would be perfectly acceptable given the fact that at $299.99 the Bose neck speaker is 5 times as expensive as the other one. Of course that exact same one you provided the link for and which after applying the $10 coupon is $59.99 costs $188 on Amazon Canada, I just don't get it sometimes. But I found another on Amazon Canada which even has FM Radio and which otherwise sounds quite similar for $29.99 or something like that and I may give that a try. I think the concept is not bad, but I certainly would never ever spend that much on any Bluetooth headset/speaker and here in Canada the Bose is $399 Canadian which is actually pretty much exactly what $299 US is given the current exchange rate. I just realized that it's even on sale for $299 Canadian on Amazon Canada right now, but that is still way too much, if it were $149.99 I would probably consider it. The only headset I'd spend $300 or $400 on would be if Sonos finally comes up with a high quality headset which acts as its own Sonos device/player and which preferably would also have Alexa/Google Assistant built in. Maybe 2020 will finally be the year when they'll release it. -Original Message- From: viphone@googlegroups.com On Behalf Of Moop Curran Sent: Tuesday, January 7, 2020 11:04 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: The bluetooth issue people are experiencing, it's not just bose Hi, The Bose SoundWear companion is $299.99 on amazon, although sometimes I’ve seen it for $249.99.

Re: The bluetooth issue people are experiencing, it's not just bose
Hi, The Bose SoundWear companion is $299.99 on amazon, although sometimes I’ve seen it for $249.99.

Anyway, last month, I purchased a Tribit Storm Box BT speaker on Amazon, which works perfectly, how it should, speech and sounds and music coming out of it instead of the phone’s speaker.

So I don’t think the problem is bose or even high end speakers, because this xSound Go cost $29, and the storm box (the one that works right) cost $45. So I’m curious what the bose speakers, the SoundBlaster Roar, The Pocket Kick, and now the Tribit XSound Go all have in common that the other Tribit Storm Box, the UE Boom, the Oraolo go, and the Zulu audio don’t have. I’m very confused, because there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason why some speakers behave properly (storm box, etc.) and some don’t (bose, SB Roar, X Sound Go, etc). under iOS 13. Curiouser and curiouser. I will let apple know, and I will also contact Tribit to see if there’s a firmware update. I know some of you guys like VO and system sounds coming through the phone’s speaker, but quite frankly, I can’t stand it. I have a really hard time hearing VO, because when a BT speaker is connected, you lose the ability to adjust VO volume, my rotor’s already at 100 percent. And I don’t know, I just don’t feel like restarting my device 5 6 and 7 times a day or more is very healthy, just to be able to play my games or whatever through a BT speaker.

Hi, Yes, but I enjoy the speaker more, because I can still have the somewhat private setting of a speaker without the bulkiness of a headset.

For Christmas, I received the Tribit X-Sound Go (which I asked for as a smaller option to the storm box, thinking oh, it will work, having speech, audio, and sound coming out of it instead of the phone’s speaker.) Darn if I didn’t pair it today, and it acts JUST like the bose soundlink micro and the Bose soundwear, with speech coming out of the phone (blah) and music (if I happen to be using the speaker for music and not just games like I often do) coming through the speaker. So I don’t think the problem is bose or even high end speakers, because this xSound Go cost $29, and the storm box (the one that works right) cost $45. So I’m curious what the bose speakers, the SoundBlaster Roar, The Pocket Kick, and now the Tribit XSound Go all have in common that the other Tribit Storm Box, the UE Boom, the Oraolo go, and the Zulu audio don’t have. I’m very confused, because there doesn’t seem to be any rhyme or reason why some speakers behave properly (storm box, etc.) and some don’t (bose, SB Roar, X Sound Go, etc). under iOS 13. Curiouser and curiouser. I will let apple know, and I will also contact Tribit to see if there’s a firmware update. I know some of you guys like VO and system sounds coming through the phone’s speaker, but quite frankly, I can’t stand it. I have a really hard time hearing VO, because when a BT speaker is connected, you lose the ability to adjust VO volume, my rotor’s already at 100 percent. And I don’t know, I just don’t feel like restarting my device 5 6 and 7 times a day or more is very healthy, just to be able to play my games or whatever through a BT speaker.

RE: The bluetooth issue people are experiencing, it's not just bose
The Logitech H800 is available from a lot of sources, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, etc. I'd recommend comparing prices. Our local Best Buy had them for $61.99. amazon had them for $59.99, but since I could just go and pick them up I chose to get it from Best Buy. Walmart, on the other hand, had a price of $72 I think. After getting my personal set, I requested one for work since I use Jaws and having wired headphones gets old very fast. Since I am not on the computer constantly, a single charge gets me through a couple of days.

Re: The bluetooth issue people are experiencing, it's not just bose
Well, maybe you can ask if they are using Airplay. When I was using an Airport Express device to play my iPhone over our stereo, the voice stayed on the device, and the music, or book, played through the speakers.

The bluetooth issue people are experiencing, it's not just bose
Hi, I know I’ve argued this point on this and other lists many times. But what I’m about to tell you just feeds my argument. Anyway, last month, I purchased a Tribit Storm Box BT speaker on Amazon, which works perfectly, how it should, speech and sounds and music coming out of it instead of the phone’s speaker. For Christmas, I received the Tribit X-Sound Go (which I asked for as a smaller option to the storm box, thinking oh, it will work, having speech, audio, and sound coming out of it instead of the phone’s speaker.) Darn if I didn’t pair it today, and it acts JUST like the bose soundlink micro and the Bose soundwear, with speech coming out of the phone (blah) and music (if I happen to be using the speaker for music and not just games like I often do) coming through the speaker. So I don’t think the problem is bose or even high end speakers, because this xSound Go cost $29, and the storm box (the one that works right) cost $45. So I’m curious what the bose speakers, the SoundBlaster Roar, The Pocket Kick, and now the Tribit XSound Go all have in common that the other Tribit Storm Box, the UE Boom, the Oraolo go, and the Zulu audio don’t have.
