AFTERSHOKZ OpenComm Stereo Wireless Headset with Noise-Canceling Boom Microphone Bone Conduction Bluetooth 5.0 Office Business Work From Home Commercial Use, Slate Grey

So working from home with the pandemic means I have been spending 6 to 7 hours with a headset stuck on my head as everything is now done by phone or on teams. The normal over the ear or in ear headphones got uncomfortable and painful over the course of a day. Looking for a solution I was recommended bone conduction by a couple of people. Doing my research I found these. Boy am I glad I did. These are amazing. They a light, comfortable and you hardly know your wearing them. The sound is clear and people have commented on how good the mic is. The slight vibration on your temples takes a little getting used to but after a while you don't notice at all. My ears feel good still at the end of the day. No headaches or pain. Only thing I cant figure out is how to control volume direct from the headphones, I have to do it actually on the laptop settings. It's not to much of a bother as I'm normally with it anyway. The Bluetooth is a good connection and has a very good distance. Over all for the price, if you need an all day wireless, comfortable headset these are amazing. Battery life for me has lasted all day with very heavy usage with no issues. Just don't loss the charging cable which comes with them as its specific to the set.

A friend recommended these after I suffered an ear infection from wearing AirPods on my dog walks (talking earpods in and out in cold, damp and dirty conditions is definitely not recommended!!). I was somewhat skeptical about the sound quality but after using them several times and getting used to how they fit around the ear, I have to admit I was pleasantly surprised. I mostly listen to audiobooks and make calls so music quality isn't really an issue. The sound quality for music isn't terrible however the bass does cause some vibration and a bit of distortion but for making calls and listening to audiobooks without having to stuff things in your ears these are BRILLIANT and I'd thoroughly recommend them. I was also worried about the little boom mic being a nuisance, it is on occassion when a call comes in you have to remember to flip the boom out, the background noise cancellation is so good people can't hear a thing when it's tucked behind your ear. I also thought I'd look a bit stupid with it while out on dog walks. But after a while the self-conciousness goes away. Battery life is pretty much on par with what they say as well, 6-8 hours of listening easily. All in all, I'd say these are great little headphones, a bit on the steep side, but I've so far had plenty of use out of them without any problems.

I don't regret buying these. They're great for video calls. The noise cancelling in the *microphone* is hands down the best I've ever tried. And I've tried a lot. They've improved the quality of my life. My ears no longer hurt from having earbuds rammed into them. It's allowed me to keep making daily video calls through the pandemic, without pain or ear infections. The battery life is fantastic. The charging isn't as quick as some, but will do hours off a five minute charge. The downsides, they are far too big for my head. It doesn't affect the use of them, but there's are huge solid loop of titanium sticking out at the back of my head. It's like having a cupboard handle back there. This means they get caught on the hood of my jacket, the back of the sofa etc. all the time. It can't be adjusted up or down without moving the earpieces into the wrong position. I have wondered if they could be bent with heat like glasses at an optician since there are titanium. But I haven't dared try. I don't know if there are any conductive parts in the band I could break. These are really not made with long hair in mind. There pretty awful to wear with your hair down. I can't put my hair over them because the loop at the back sticks out so far. Then because my hair is under them, it's hard to get them in position on my ears. Just that part of my hair sort of has to go over and it looks pretty silly. When I take them off, I have to carefully unwind my hair from them. I rarely get them off without some part get wrapped around them. It's fine when my hair is up and out of the way. The audio quality is fine. You can feel the vibrations in your face at higher volumes which is sometimes nice for music. The sound is very centred in your head in a way other headphones can't do. It lacks low end frequencies though. Sometimes, when making a call the person on the other end can hear their own voice which is disconcerting. I think maybe when background noise is very high, or dense and something about the normally excellent noise cancelling microphone is going a little wrong. Sometimes your own voice will dip up and down in volume too on a call. It's still understandable, but makes it tiring to listen to. The pros do outweigh the cons, but I feel like they need to work on a new strap design for females with smaller heads and long hair. I quite critical because I have used many Bluetooth headsets and they are all very flawed in many regards. But these are by far my favourite so far, despite their problems.

I felt they were pricy but the reviews convinced me and I could not be happier. No more ear ache from ear buds. I wore these all day at work on the first day after getting them. They pair to both my work and personal cell phone. No matter which rings I can answer. Audio is clear and people hear me just fine. I was very skeptical.... but no more. Obviously not ideal for music etc but the best u will have for calls and conference /zoom calls. Etc

Ich hatte den Vorgänger und war damit - was das Hören angeht - absolut zufrieden. Mit dem Telefonieren war das nicht der Hit. Es ging; aber eben nicht mehr. Mit der neuen "OpenComm" Version sieht das ganz anders aus. Der kleine, schwenkbare Bügel hat ein derart exakt gerichtetes Mikrofon, dass einen die Gegenseite immer weniger hört, je weiter man den Bügel nach oben - also weg - dreht. Wenn der Bügel ganz hinten ist, hört der Gesprächspartner so gut wie nichts mehr. Was ich damit sagen will...? Das Mikrofon blendet alle Geräusche, die ausserhalb der Zielrichtung des Mikrofons, in hohem, um nicht zu sagen, höchsten Maß aus. Wenn man also in einer Umgebung mit vielen Geräuschen telefoniert, wird der Gesprächspartner davon nur herzlich wenig mitbekommen. Und das ist sehr angenehm bei Telefonaten. Abgesehen davon das es professioneller wirkt. Das Koppeln mit anderen Geräten ist simpel. Den vorderen Button drücken und halten, bis er blinkt. Im Bluetooth Menü des Zuspielers auswählen und - fertig. Die Beschwerden über zu niedrige Lautstärke kann ich weder nachvollziehen noch bestätigen. Im Gegenteil. Wenn mein Gesprächspartner in normaler Lautstärke spricht, und das entweder direkt in sein Telefon oder ein (gutes!) Headset benutzt, ist alles bestens. Und laut! Wenn die andere Seite über eine Freisprecheinrichtung telefoniert, wird es immer leise und blechern klingen. Aber dafür kann das OpenComm nichts. Die Verarbeitung ist top. Da wackelt und klappert nichts. Das Mikrofon hat einen gleichmässigen Widerstand beim Bewegen und bleibt genau da, wohin man es ausrichtet. Dass der Bügel beim Anlehnen stört, ist richtig. Aber wenn der Hersteller das Gerät noch in vier verschiedenen Bügelgrößen anbieten soll, müsste der Preis logischerweise wesentlich höher sein. Das Teil ist - genau so wie es ist - perfekt.

Excelente producto, muy cómodo y fácil de usar y configurar incluso para usarse en dos dispositivos. La batería si día para todo el día escuchando música y en conferencias.

Excelentes. Alata calidad percibida en cada detalle. Muy ligeros y comodos lo que les hace ideales para teletrabajo y reuniones online. La conducción osea evita dolores de oído y suciedad en los auriculares y en el propio oído y la calidad de sonido es excelente

Ho usato queste cuffie per chiamate e meet ovunque. In più quando cammino ci ascolto la musica. Sono leggere, stabili, non affaticano, e sono molto discrete. Molto più facili da indossare rispetto a tanti altri auricolari. Tendo a dimenticare che le sto indossando. Il microfono fortemente direzionale riduce drasticamente i rumori di sottofondo nella chiamata, quindi si può parlare senza disturbare la conversazione. Gli auricolari a conduzione ossea non fanno "effetto tappo" e quindi non danno fastidio nelle lunghe chiamate. In più, non isolando dai rumori, è possibile usarle per strada dove altrimenti sarebbe pericoloso non sentire i rumori delle macchine. La comodità di questi auricolari ha fatto sì che aumentassi l'ascolto della musica camminando per strada o in situazioni quali supermercati o altrove, dove l'isolamento sarebbe fastidioso o pericoloso. La qualità di ascolto in questo senso è più che adeguata. Il prezzo è apparentemente alto, ma per chi fa almeno un paio d'ore di chiamate o meet di lavoro al giorno miste tra mobilità e ufficio questo prezzo si ripaga bene. Ottimo il microfono ruotabile che consente di rispondere ad una chiamata al volo (poiché si tende a dimenticarle, le cuffie spesso ve le ritroverete già all'orecchio). Ultima cosa molto importante: l'interlocutore vi sente bene anche indossando la mascherina. Io ho preso una abitudine: all'orecchio sinistro indosso prima l'elastico della mascherina e l'auricolare sopra; all'orecchio destro il contrario, prima l'auricolare e poi l'elastico. In questo modo si riesce a togliersi o rimettersi rapidamente la mascherina dal lato destro, in quanto rimane ferma dal sinistro ed evita che il vento la faccia volar via. Indosso gli occhiali e, anche se non è il massimo all'inizio, dopo un paio di settimane ci si abitua a come indossarle. Cosa non mi è piaciuto... l'attacco magnetico per la ricarica richiede un cavo specifico. Capisco (fino ad un certo punto..) che un attacco magnetico a molti possa piacere, ma avrei gradito che la confezione includesse degli adattatori - magari 3 con attacco usb-c - così da non costringere a portarsi dietro il cavetto. Dato il prezzo delle cuffie, questi adattatori ci potevano pure stare. Sarebbe stato il top.
