emotal Bluetooth Headset for Cellphones Dual-Mic ENC +CVC 8.0 Noise Cancelling APT-X HiFi Stereo 200Hours Standby 18Hours HD Talktime Bluetooth Earpiece Compatible with Storage Case (Blue Black, U8)

✨✨Welcome✨✨ to my quest to find the best headset for working from home in an often noisy environment.Here you can see (roughly half) of my collection. (I can't find some of the monopieces, some I gave away, some broke and I threw them out. some, like beats pro, have been stolen. I'm also not showing more conventional ANC headphones (like sonyXM4), and some gaming headphones with mics (those turn out to be petty bad)winners?well, it depends on what you want! dah.what matters for me:1. reliability and stable connection. E.g. i want to close my laptop, open it and join a Zoom meeting.2. at least 8+hr battery life3. good noise canceling, if a construction happening outside, or if I'm typing on my keyboard, it should let nothing pass.4. High-quality microphone. A podcasting (dynamic) microphone would score 10/10 while airpod microphone is 4/10, Sony XM4 is 2/10, you get the point. I have tried a studio setup. it wasn't wireless, it didn't work.5. mute button. the one i can use.and i'd like good sound quality, some nice ergonomics, looks etcOk, enough disclaimers.Let's first compare monopieces. I tried at least 8 different brands.The two most expensive ones (jabra and poly) had no chance to be my choice: they run out of juice mid-day, had micro-usb (!) charging, and had absolutely miserable performance in noisy rooms. in a quiet room, both perform well, in fact, I am impressed with every single Jabra headset I've tried (at least 4 as of today) they all had supreme call quality and mic pickup IN QUIET environment. but add a little external noise and they chew up half of your words. My coworkers were often saying they can't understand me. Too agressive noise canceling, basically.The rest of the 'cheap' crowd $20-$40 was mostly crap, like not worth even trying. Two of them, however, were good, like REALLY good. like better than Jabra/poly.The best of all - you guessed it - is **emotal** . They have very good mic pick up in quiet rooms, extremely good noise canceling, great battery life, work on Mac/Windows/android/ios (not every headset could) working mute button.If you care about music at least a little, monopieces won't work. so I would say a few things:1. AirPods, beats, beats-pro. bad battery life and non-existing noise-canceling mic.2. Jabra. That is an amazing headset, but poor performance in a noisy environment, no mute button (you can flip the mic to mute, but, JABRA! HOW??, when I unmute myself, everyone on the call will be alerted "MUTE IS OFF" by a pleasant female voice. huh? ANC is great, the sound is great, and mic pick-up is one of the best.The winner: ⭐️🇺🇸 JLabs ⭐️🇺🇸. I bought 3 headsets from them, one over-ear and two on-ear. and they are amazing. I literally had compliments from my coworkers about how clear my voice sounded. they dont look the best and dont feel as premium as Jabra. But they are from an 🇺🇸 company and they truly nailed this. Especially the mic quality and the usability of the mute button. The mute button is mechanical, it's big, and I always can tell if I'm on mute via a well-visible red light indicator.

After much research on many bluetooth headset's I chose this headset. Why you might ask? The main factor that swayed me was the Qualcomm HD chip. I've read many horror stories on other bluetooth headset's but this model in particular had very good reviews. Now for the Pros and Cons. Pros: #1 It Works. #2 Sound quality is great!! No problem with volume whatsoever. I personally don't have to turn up the volume any higher than slightly past halfway for the majority of phone calls. Only reason I'd turn the volume any higher to hear is if there is an issue with the person on the other end of the line not talking loud enough into the phone. The sound is very clear as in HD whether on a phone call, Youtube, Etc.. I don't hear any static or noise interference. I am very particular with sound quality and have no complaints. The people on the other end of the line can hear me loud and clear. As far as noise cancelling goes, only complaint I've heard from another person was regarding being 2 feet from some wind chimes and was asked what the noise was. Other than that no complaints. #3 Battery life is surprisingly good!! I get about a day and a half in between charging on average, sometimes less. It really depends on the amount of YouTube/videos/music I listen to in conjunction with phone calls. #4 Range is surprisingly good as well!! I can leave my phone in the house and walk outside into the yard a pretty good distance with the door closed and still be connected. #5 Fit and Comfort, It's very light, not too bulky, fits in the ear good, microphone stays in place and not loose by any means. Only time it moves on me is if I'm working and accidentally bump it.Cons: None as of the moment and this is after much use.It's a really good bluetooth headset and I would 100% recommend this to anyone. At the price they charge for Big Name Bluetooth headsets I can honestly say at this price point, its hard to believe it's being sold at the price its being sold at. I've personally owned a couple of the expensive ones and this is much better by far, price and performance. Im always looking for best budget/diamond in the rough products and this one superceded my expectations. Hopefully this review will be of some benefit to someone and alleviate any questions, concerns, or doubts in regard to this product. I don't work for this company and don't promote their products as I've just done lol.God bless
