I'm about to purchase some bluetooth headphones. I've looked at most of them, but theres a lot of negativity around them. Problems with no connection or too expensive are some of them. I made one mistake with a pc steering wheel that stop connecting once before I had to purchace a G29.

So I don't want to make the same mistake with headphones.

    It's some years since I last used headsets SwiftFox (and they were industry quality), but by coincidence a friend of mine has recently complained about struggling to hear me on the fone.

    We're both very old (as are our fones) but this evening we've tried my using an (£18) headset of the style linked below.

    I've got a relatively deep voice and that isn't best compatible with fone mics/speakers, but that's worked very well for a couple of hours this evening and still has 88% of its charge left. It was very easy to set up.

    She (Janeypoos) and I recommended these:

    What kind of things are you using the headphones for @SwiftFox? Is it for music, gaming, or just general use?

    They're not the fanciest, but I've got a pair of Soundcore earbuds by Anker that have been solid for my casual music listening over the last year or so. The one's I've got are pretty standard and not noise-cancelling but they do the job, have decent battery life and connect up quickly.

    But if sound quality is really important to you it may be worth looking at bigger brands like Bose or Sony.

    I looked at the Sony range and a lot of people keep saying they lose connection. I did see some Goodmans in B&M with noise cancelling and thought surely not for the price of £20, but then I could be surprised. I must also say, I suffer with terrible tinnitus from being in the Air force and some sounds don't feel right.

    I like to listen to the football on radio or music on my iphone, the noise cancelling one's I've seen are £200 to £350, this why I questioned the Goodmans one's. Thanks Rosie

    Sorry SwiftFox, I can only guess that's coz you're opening it in the Amazon app rather than a browser?

    Anyhow they're "New Bee Bluetooth Headset V5.1"

    Bluetooth Handsfree Earpiece Dual Mic with 500mAh Charging Case 72Hrs Play Time Hands Free Phone Earpiece Wireless Headset for Driving/Business with Android iOS Laptop

    Splendid bit of kit for £22. Great sound (I have high-pitched tinnitus), very effective mics. Comfortable to wear. Very easy setup , bosh!

    The cat is out of the noise cancelling bag, they're electronic tricks which are very easy to copy.

    Some people will pay through the nose for brand loyalty. I'll never understand that but they definitely do.

    Have a search for them on Amazon/the interweb?
