Jaws677 Posted November 21, 2019 Share Thanks for the recommendation. Just out of curiosity, why would you never run outdoors with headphones?Hearing is the sense that keeps me alive running on our roads. You hear a car/truck /taxi approaching before seeing it. Even on road races the amount of irrate taxis and motorist who simply ignore the marshals and drive trough intersections are unreal. With headphones my concentration would be elsewhere and I won't hear the Marshall shouting at me to watch out. But for threatmill or track running music is great. I prefer the sound of nature when I do trails so no headphones there either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ABrooks Posted November 21, 2019 Share https://youtu.be/cG8PXdTlDagMy conclusion from the video is to get the Sony WF-1000XM3 buds he spoke about in the videos which will be cheaper or at the very least the same price as the air pods. He mentions that they are superior in every way except for basically the size of the case and connecting to a device which you do once when you get the earphones.

Auckland is way different to South Africa for runners and cyclists. DawieO, Patchelicious, pista and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am talking about outside of SA. Even with currency conversions, they go for around R4000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BaGearA Posted June 24, 2020 Share Got roughly 9 months on my senheiser BTNC 4.50's and im A bit on the fence Music quality is great Build quality is great Battery life is great Comfort is Good but could be better ( my melon might just be the wrong shape) BUT.. The bluetooth sucks , it's actually not bad , connects very fast but it'll constantly get this choppy vibe as it quickly disconnects and reconnects or misses a signal or whatever this willl happen once every few minutes or A couple quick and then again in a short while and to say it's FUC*ING annoying is A Gross understatement I now only use them with the cable provided and all is good but still , I pad for bluetooth headphones and I can't use them like that Emailing the distributor helps nothing Wish I had the bucks for the Bose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CAAD4 Posted June 24, 2020 Share I have Bose QC 35's which I use on a daily basis with my phone. I've seen quite a few articles rating the Sony's better. I nearly bought a pair last year, but initial impression was they they were not as comfortable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patham Posted June 24, 2020 Share I got myself a pair of the Sony WH-1000XM3' at the start of lockdown for use as a videoconferencing headset. Not as good a manufacturing quality and comfort as my 6 year old MDR-1's, but the sound and noise cancelling is great. They fold into a much more compact space as well. I was on a call last week with someone on the other side of the city, when I could hear a loud jet plane noise picked up by the others persons mike- they apologised, stopped talking for a while and said it was a loud fighter jet flypast. The noise-cancelling was so good I never heard the same plane at all when it flew over our suburb, but my youngster in the local school down the road said it was really, really, really loud !

Wayne Potgieter Posted June 24, 2020 Share I have been struggling to find a work headset. I share a home office with my wife, and sometimes we are on the same MS Teams meeting (we work for the same company) The challenge I have is when I speak, I can hear myself in my headset as aural feedback, but i get a slightly delayed second audio stream through my wife's microphone. It is quite disconcerting and throws me off. I have been looking into Noise Cancelling Call centre headsets with a noice cancelling microphone. Anyone have any advice?

WP, the Sony's as per my post above ? For meetings I did not need to look at the screen for, I could wonder outside, skim leaves off the pool, all whilst bluetooth connected. The range is pretty good ! Wayne Potgieter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The challenge with them is the microphone is not noise cancelling. The earphones are and they are amazing!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suggest just muting the person who is not speaking's mike, and only un-muting when he/she needs to speak? NeverNotRolling and ChrisF 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
