Bluetooth headphones, do you use them?

[Premium1]

So with what seems like the slow death of the headphone jack, do you use bluetooth headphones?

 

[thedonp]

Love my AirPods.

 

[Jaycemiskel]

That's pretty much all I use. My phone has a headphone jack but I pretty much never use it.

 

[Almeuit]

All I use is Bluetooth. At work, home, or in the truck.

I currently don't own any. In my car I play music through BT though or connect my phone using the USB port. Not sure I really ever need any headphones.

Everyday I use the LG tone infinim 910 best headset I ever used. Charges fast great battery life and sound

 

[Doug Moffat]

Use Bluetooth for calls... NEVER for music.

 

[Cherries01]

I wonder the same... what is some good bluetooth headset out there...?

 

[smallville kc]

I do. Mostly when I mow. I got some over the ear ones to muffle the mower sound.

 

[Tsepz_GP]

Nope. Not until they match my Sennheiser CX300s in quality.

 

[ManiacJoe]

Jack only.
If I am listening to music, I want quality sound from quality headphones.
Don't need another set of batteries to charge....

One of the best is the Blue Parrot line. Nothing can match their noise cancellation (you could have the car windows rolled down and the person on the other end would still think you're in an office), and phenomenal batteries. They are a little pricy, but built like a tank and worth every penny if you're in a noisy environment. I personally use the B250-XT+.

For headphone or car audiouse, I stick to wired. In my work truck I'll use Bluetooth for things like Pandora, but that's mostly because I don't want to run the cable every day.

 

[hallux]

Yes.
I have the following:
Plantronics Voyager for every day call use
Motorola S11 Flex HD for working out but can also be used for calls
Bluedio T2s Turbine for other music or media consumption needs (these actually worked REALLY well on an airplane)
Zolo Liberty+ on order, this was a kickstarter project and I expect them in the next 6 weeks.

I don't have bluetooth in my car (could have if I'd gotten the next model year the following week) so I still use the headphone jack for listening to the AC podcast and sometimes music in the car.

You speak as though 3.5mm-type C adapters do not exist.

Thanks for your suggestion. I don't really need anything fancy, I usually listen to YT at work and having "cordless" does help me able to move around freely and leaving my phone on my desk.

It is convenient to use outside for a walk

I use something like the previous gen LG Tones. I think I paid $25 for them. The model number is HBS-730. They work really great and have great sound playing music. I can get through a full day of heavy usage with no problem. I absolutely love not worrying about a cord. I still use my headphone jack to listen to music and podcasts in the car because it doesn't have Bluetooth. I would say the range on them is probably around 10 feet before it starts to cut out. Which isn't a problem with me.

I use a Bluetooth headset for calls, hearing my notifications, and audio podcasts and such. However, when I want to listen to music, I break out my Bose Bluetooth. Gotta have good quality for music and such. I also have to stay wireless and be able to move around and get work done while I'm listening. The cord is always getting caught on everything, and I've lost both the cord and headphone jacks in phones, so I no longer use a headphone jack.

I generally don't even use the USB port the same for power either. I've plugged in a magnetic adapter to the USB port, and use a magnetic cable to do my QuickCharge on my phone. Snaps right up to the phone's port and charges. However, if someone trips over the cord, it just detaches without damaging the phone.

I am not a huge fan of wireless addons. I try to avoid anything wireless unless its really necessary.

 

[Red_Star]

No. I wanted to buy them some time ago but I heard so many negative reviews about them that I decided not to do this. As I know their main minus is low quality of the sound and also slow work in combo with your mp3-player.
