[NFBCS] quality jbl headphones

The taking a nap when you're not typing is an issue with some Bluetooth headsets. They go into a power saving mode during silences to save power. JAWS and NVDA have settings to avoid this. In JAWS, go into your default settings, and look for the toggle that says something like "Avoid cutoff when using Bluetooth ..."

The hissing is not a product of either Bluetooth or noise cancellation. I'm not sure what would be causing it. Maybe it'll go away when you're using Bluetooth and not a wire.

Subject: [NFBCS] quality jbl headphones

Hello,

I wanted to try Bluetooth headphones as I already have a Logitech wireless keyboard and thought I could sit outside while the tower is inside.
I chose the JBL Live 660NC - Wireless Over-Ear Noise Cancelling headphones and found something annoying.
Perhaps the noise cancelling feature was a mistake.
When I'm not typing or navigating a web page, the jaws kind of takes a nap and there is silence.
When I start moving around or type again, there is a hiss in the background of the headphones and that is just connected with the 3.5mm cord as I haven't figured out how to go Bluetooth with them yet.
Will the hiss go away if I get headphones without noise cancelling or is this what happens with Bluetooth?

Thanks,
Bryan
