<div dir="ltr">Did you want a microphone with the headphones as well? It's been my experience that BT headphones have poor audio quality as far as the microphone is concerned, i.e. people listening to me on Skype or whatever have a hard time hearing me. As I understand it, it's because the microphone sharing the BT airwaves/bandwidth with the earphones. So that's an issues to watch out for. Some headphones compensate by reducing the earpiece quality when the microphone is active but that doesn't completely solve the problem. I imagine some higher-end headphones have some sort of signal booster but that's beyond my pay grade.<div><br></div><div>If you plan on doing a lot of conference calls and need a microphone, try to get a boom mic that swings off of the earpiece. The "hole in the earpiece" type just doesn't cut it well.<br><div><br></div><div>One other minor annoyance with BT headphones: if you're watching people speaking, for example in a youtube video, the audio doesn't sync with the video. There's a noticeable lag between when the speaker's lips move and when you actually hear the sound. For someone like me who's half deaf already, it can be rather annoying.</div><div><br></div><div>Both of these issues can be resolved by just flipping the headphones over to a wired USB connection.</div><div><br></div><div>For the record I'm using the Bluedio T4 (Turbine) Bluetooth 4.2 Stereo Headphones (Amazon: <a href="https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XHBV8H2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1">https://www.amazon.ca/gp/product/B06XHBV8H2/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1</a> ) They have pretty good audio sound for listening to music. I got these after I returned a pair of MPOW's that just irked me too much...</div><div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr">On Sun, 14 Jan 2018 at 10:48 Andrew Kohlsmith (mailing lists account) <<a href="mailto:aklists@mixdown.ca">aklists@mixdown.ca</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">I’m no audiophile but I’ve been *very* happy (as in I purchased a second pair) of the Ausdom M08 over-ear headphones.
