[NFBCS] Logitech headset on Amazon

Fri Nov 8 18:47:24 UTC 2019

Nancy,

I don't know if you have found this to be the case yet or not, but when I use my AfterShockz connected to my iPhone, the microphone picks up VoiceOver through the vibration through the band.  This was with the most recent model.  In my case, the people at the other end could even understand what was being said, so one would want to think twice about checking text messages during a phone call.  <smile>  I was disappointed.  Clearly, turning the volume down helps, but it is something to be aware of.

Best regards,

Steve Jacobson

I like my aftershockz a lot and I use them for online meetings. I have sometimes been told the sound quality is not great on phone calls. I am not an audiofile so it is good enough for me to listen to. I use my earpods when I want high quality music audio.

I also bought each of my kids one for school and their gaming. Sound quality is perfect for online chat, but not something I would be comfortable using for a podcast or video, unless the video was a simple throw away recording meant for internal use only. They have basically no low-end, which, again, is fine for chat, but not much else.

But it doesn't matter which one I use for skype and/or zoom meetings. I have asked the other people on the call if they can tell if I am using the really expensive mic or the cheap headset and they say they cannot.
