Thanks for the run down. It’s funny how we all have our own needs and criteria. I have the same Logitech headset and they’re fine, but I’m at my PC all day handling emails or phone calls for my business and having headphones on all day with Jaws can get kind of tiresome. I don’t use the Bluetooth feature with my phone though. For all day computer work, I opted to go with a pare of Aftershokz Sports headset with an inline microphone. They’re wired, but I don’t’ find it to be an inconvenience. That and Jaws chattering all day every day doesn’t tire my ears out this way and lets me still listen to whatever I want for pleasure in the evening or what have you. Audio quality isn’t the “best” with the wired Sports bone conduction headset, but for me at least, it’s more of a tool to get things done rather than listening pleasure.
My H800 headset more often than not is just hanging there next to my desk. Regarding the Boltunes, did the ear cups completely cover your ears? Is it a fully immersive fit? I too find wearing headphones covering my ears can get hot after a while. This was another reason why I like using my Trekz Air all the time. There’s no way I could wear earbuds or on/over the ear ones while working out. That said, I was interested in maybe getting something that would go over the ear completely for the times I wanted to block out other ambient noise without having to crank up the volume level on my iPhone. I wouldn’t’ use them enough for me justifying dropping $200 plus for a pare.

The in fact sounded pretty good, the active noise cancelling feature seems to work as advertised although I have never used this feature on a high-end headset which costs $300 or $400. The lack of lag I should say is super on these, I guess Bluetooth 5.0 in this case was implemented very well and when I tried them by typing something it was super responsive. They are also comfortable to wear, but I am just not used to wearing over the ear headsets and found that after 10 minutes my ears were getting hot and I realized I would just never use these a lot. I had also purchased a set of the Logitech H800 headsets which are on the ear, they are also lighter and you can use them with a PC via a USB receiver, the main slider switch has 3 positions, off on the bottom, Bluetooth in the middle and USB on top. I now have these paired to my laptop via the USB dongle and to my iPhone via Bluetooth and quite like this. I can also wear them for a long time and find them comfortable. They do, however, not block out a lot of outside noise, but for me that is not an issue. If I really want this it is usually when I am working with one of my machines in my woodworking shop and for that I have a pair of ear protectors which are of course over the ear, lots of insulation, but they are also Bluetooth so I can listen to a book while I am working or I’ll know when a call comes in. I did not try the Boltunes on a phone call so I can’t speak for the call quality. All in all I think they are awesome if you want an over the ear headset, great battery life, good audio quality and Bluetooth 5.0.

I’ve been considering getting an over the ear pare and from the sounds of the description, these seem pretty good for the price. Indeed, I saw them go on sale yesterday for $49. They’re back to to $58, but I can always keep an eye out if they drop in price again. Anyway, I’m not the biggest audiophile, but I’d still like for sound to be quality, but more importantly, I’d like to know how is the noise canceling, call quality and if they completely cover your ears? I’d like to be able to listen to my podcasts or audiobooks while my wife’s watching whatever it is she wants to watch on the TV without me having to crank up the sound on my headhones. My main pare are my Trekz Air and while I use them for working out or just being around the house and every day iPhone use, they’re not meant for blocking out other sounds if I just want to sit on the couch with my wife per say.

For a change this means it’s actually a better deal in Canada because currently $72.99 Canadian is approx. $55 US. Here are the links: Boltune Bluetooth 5.0 headset on Amazon.com <https://www.amazon.com/Cancelling-Headphones-Boltune-Bluetooth-Comfortable/dp/B07PJK73L8/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=Boltune+Bluetooth+5.0&qid=1563121807&s=gateway&sr=8-4> Boltune Bluetooth 5.0 headset on Amazon Canada <https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B07Q3C56DD/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1> I was impressed by the features and the fact that this headset uses Bluetooth 5.0 and of course the price is very attractive considering that brand name offerings from the likes of Sony or Bose can easily cost $300 or more and I mean US Dollars. Here is just one popular example, the Bose QuietComfort 35 costs $349 US, granted it has Alexa voice control built in, but it gets 4.4 out of 5 versus the 4.5 out of 5 for the no-name brand and it uses only Bluetooth 4.1. Bose QuietComfort 35 II <https://www.amazon.com/Bose-QuietComfort-Wireless-Headphones-Cancelling/dp/B0756CYWWD> Of course there is a little more to Bluetooth than just the version, I once purchased a fairly expensive, about $200, Plantronics stereo headset which had Bluetooth 4 or 4.1 and it had the worst lagging issue I ever came across and much worse than some of my much cheaper and older Bluetooth 2.1 headsets. I am sure the Bose is overall probably a bit nicer, but I’ll see what this Boltune is like when I get it, for all I know it’s made in the same factory as the Bose over in China somewhere.
