This is more convenient than removing the pair settings from the Bluetooth that is part of my laptop. I may have to force pairing with the BT600 by pressing the pin on the side.
I have the headset paired with my laptop and also I use the BT600 on this computer too. I never needed to enter the Bluetooth PIN (“0000”) and when I turn the unit on the connections happen very quickly. Paring the headset to more than one device is relatively straightforward.
I stuck mine on a USB extension cable and mounted it above my desk so now my coworkers know if I’m rocking out or on a call. The headphones are pre-paired to the adapter and it has a LED on the end that can be used to indicate the status of the headset function: The headphones come with a Bluetooth adapter, the Plantronics BT600. When not wearing the headset, pressing on the right side will illuminate the 5 LEDs to correspond to the estimated battery capacity remaining. While using the headset in a conversation the same button is used to mute the voice microphone.įive LEDs on the right side indicate charge, pairing mode, call status, and button presses. Pressing the button will conveniently pause any music playing and allow voice and sharp sounds to the ears while still filtering out noise using the ANC. OpenMic is a great feature to allow the wearer to have conversations without taking the headphones off. While the noise canceling is effective and noticeable, it does not perform as well as the Sony WH-1000XM2. It would be great if this allowed rewind and fast forward by holding the button down.Īctive noise canceling (ANC) comes in two strengths: office and airplane. Skipping tracks is a breeze with the dedicated forward and reverse buttons – no double pressing and triple pressing the play/pause button is required.

It does not work to activate Cortana on a Windows 10 machine, but it can be used to dictate commands if the Windows-C shortcut or microphone icon is used.

I wasn’t able to test Siri on a mac or Google now on a chrome book. The dedicated voice control button seems to work fine for Google Now on a phone or Siri on an iPhone. The headset has an optional setting that will play tones that correspond to the volume level. The volume adjustment occurs in 10 steps and the dial has a spring return to center after the adjustment is made. The volume dial on the left-hand side increases volume by rotating forward and decreases the volume by rotating back. With so many capabilities, one might believe that the operation of the headset may be complicated, but the sensible layout of the controls makes using the headset intuitive. Note that this review is for the black/charcoal colors, but that the headphones are also available in a beige color scheme: The LEDs are mounted below a glossy plastic ring. On the right-hand side is an indicator light for pairing, battery strength, mute and low power. On the left-hand side, the laminate includes operation buttons. the back of the earcups are covered by a faux wooden laminate. Around the outside of the earcups is a metallic screen that covers the area where ambient microphones are positioned. (See the featured image at the top of the story.) The bezel also surrounds the microphones used to pick up the wearers voice when being used as a headset. the cushions meet a metal bezel into which the 3.5 mm audio cable and USB charging cable can be plugged into on the right side. The inside of the earcups are labeled “L” and “R” in the stylized Plantronics font against a white cloth covering the speaker grill (and the capacitive sensors which can detect if the headphones are being worn). The mostly black and charcoal grey colors are punctuated by smartly placed orange around the inside of the earcups. The cushions of the earcups are squishy polyurethane coated foam which provides good support and noise isolation. The earcups are angled slightly forward to follow the natural slope of the ear from the top to the bottom of the lobe. The earcups also pivot up and down, but this movement is a spring return to the neutral position. The twisting action doesn’t occur freely – it must be moved by hand. The earcups can twist forward just a bit, but twist backwards to almost 90 degrees (which is how the entire set can fit in the carry sack). A pattern etched on each metal leaf which represents the LEDs of a frequency spectrum display help ensure that the headband is centered on the head. The headband expands with a metal leaf independently over each ear. It is cushioned to rest against the scalp and has just the right amount of spring for my head. The headband is covered with leather on top and breathable suede on the head facing side. The design of the headphones emphasizes comfort, ergonomics, and usability but still remains fashionable.
