Wireless Ear Buds

Nightowlz — Fri, 05 Oct 2018 19:34:51 GMT

Does anyone have any reviews on them. DH wants a pair. I have no idea which ones.

I saw the Apple Air Pods on HSN pre-sale. DH does not care for Apple.

I also looked at the Bose which has good sound but they are larger than most plus fall out easily from what I've read. Since they are loose they let in outside noise which he won't like.

Guess I will have to start researching to figure out which ones to buy.

Anyone have the Jabra Elite 65t?

I have the Apple ear buds (we are a dedicated Apple family). I keep them for at home use especially at night so I don't disturb others or they don't disturb me. The quality/convenience is great, but I don't use them at the gym (for fear of loss) or on flights (where I use Bose noise canceling). So I would consider the activities he would be doing and select what would be most effective.

If your hubby is picky about his earphones, let him do all the research. When he finds the ones he likes I am quite sure he will let you know since you are paying for them.

@Nightowlz, it really depends on what kind of sound he likes. I have experimented and here is my experience.

I have had Bose in ear. To me, I really like their sound. I think they are the best but I like a heavy bass. I am a big Bose fan. I have the tv system, the wave radio and the sound link so I may be biased. If you have Costco membership, their headphone prices (on all headphones, not just Bose) are good and their return policy is the best.

I have Beats in ear Bluetooth. I hardly use them. Not enough bass imo. Inwould not buy another pair.

I also have a pair of Sony in ear Bluetooth headphones which I rank right after Bose. I like the sound on these headphones and they are very good to use during a workout.

I didn’t buy the Apple ear pods although Inchecked them out. If I did buy them, I would them like @phoenixbrd, in the house only. Even then, Inwould be afraid to lose one. Imagine trying to find one of them in the snow! I’m a walker so that would be an automatic no in winter.

At the end of the day, one really has to try them out to see what sound you like best.

Good luck! LM

PS, I never had trouble with Bose falling out of my ears. There are three different sizes of rubber fittings to choose from.

PPS, if you want a pair to listen to TV make sure they are compatible for this use. Not all of them are. It would be very disappointing to buy a pair and find out you couldn’t use them for your own note dead purpose.

@phoenixbrd, if I was still travelling like I used to, I would opt for Bose noise cancelling. LM

LOL!!! I wanted to buy them for Christmas so I did not want to ask him.

He will use them when he's sitting on the patio listening to music or in the house while I'm watching TV. He hates what I watch. He will complain he can hear the TV noise I'm sure.

I have nicknamed him Mr. Complainer. LOL!!! He does not like it but he does not seem happy unless he has something to complain about. I'm sure it's the stress from work having to do other people's jobs to make sure things get done.

I also read the Apple Air Pods let in outside noise so those are out also.

At least the Jabra has different ear pieces to correct that problem some what.

@Lilysmom

He has a Bose Soundlink. I know he does not like the loud booming bass people have on speakers in their cars. LOL!!!

He for sure needs something to listen to music while sitting in his recliner while I'm watching TV. He won't want to hear my show.

He only wants wireless. He already has wired headphones.

I will check out the Bose some more plus the Sony & Jabra.

I have used Bose Quiet Comfort 20 for a year. Wear them at night to drown out husband’s loud breathing, drown out noise of granddaughter’s slumber party, always on airplane, and walking track at health club while while listening to podcast or music. They are not wireless. I don’t think wireless can be used on airplane. QC20 has a cord that clips to clothing and has three sizes of earpiece. I have no trouble with them falling out. I am happy with my choice as they store easily and are lightweight for travel.

Yes @Nightowlz they are not as effective at noise cancelling, especially when compare to my Bose ear cancelling but then they are not the price either. The ear buds work fine for my use, which is at home when maybe the tv is on and I'm working on the computer.

All the more reason for him to choose his own.

@phoenixbrd, can you listen to tv with the air pods? LM

Re: Wireless Ear Buds

phoenixbrd — Fri, 05 Oct 2018 21:55:51 GMT

@Lilysmom yes, as long as the tv has the capability. I sometimes listen to you tube while hubs is listening to tv in the same room. They are very adequate for this purpose. I like the fact that they are small and convenient for this purpose. I just would not use them for extreme ear cancelling situations (flights) or physical activity (gym).

Lilysmom — Fri, 05 Oct 2018 21:57:52 GMT

@phoenixbrd , thanks for that. I almost bought a pair of Bose on ear headphones last week and only discovered just before that you can’t use them for tv. I read it in a review. LM

Amazon has some cords that attach to the airpods so you don't lose them I saved the info incase I ever get a pair

BF has AirPods and the Jabra. He's preferring the Jabra, if for nothing but the battery life, which is many times superior to the AirPods. I'd ask him about sound quality, but he just got onto an airplane!

I recently purchased the Bose ones for my husband who is quite lucky about his electronics. He is very happy with them.

also they are charging a lot more on HSN for those as usual for the accessories you really don't need
