I think you can get headphones with active noise cancellation in
multiple formats, since after all, all you need is a microphone. I do
have a pair of headphones with active noise cancellation which are over
the head but have very small cups that don't really block out much
sound. I'm pretty sure Bose also has ear buds with active noise
cancellation.
Of course if you're going with passive noise cancellation, or combining
active and passive noise cancellation, then you'll have either cups that
will cover your whole ear or those silicon tipped ear buds that you
insert into your ear.

I think if you want a set like this for occasional use the Boltunes
would fill the bill nicely especially since you are not spending $300
for something you only use rarely.
I hardly ever use a headset for Jaws at work. If I am in my office I
am usually by myself unless my wife or another employee is reading
information from invoices to me which I am entering into my
bookkeeping program or if we are doing orders and if I am at my desk
in the store my employees and customers just have to put up with
hearing Eloquence, I don’t have it that loud and they are used to it.

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.
Thanks again,
Cristóbal

Hi Cristobal,
I ended up sending them back and not because of the fact they sounded
bad or anything like that. 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.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hi Sieghard,
Was just wondering what your impressions on this headset ended up
being? 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.
Thanks,
Cristóbal

Hi,
I recently ordered the following active noise cancelling headset, I am
supposed to get the package tomorrow and after that I could post a review:
Boltune Bluetooth 5.0 Active Noise Cancelling Headphones, Over Ear
Wireless Headphones with Mic Deep Bass, Comfortable Protein Earpads
30H Playtime for Travel Work TV PC Cellphone
I paid $72.99 Canadian, on Amazon.com this model costs $59.95.
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.
Regards,
Sieghard

Hi All,
I need a Bluetooth noise-canceling headphones to use with my iPhone
7.?? It's so noisy in the dialysis unit, that I can't concentrate on
reading a book or sleeping.??
I don't know how expensive such a thing is, but hopefully, someone can
steer me in the right direction.
Thanks very much"
