iDIGMALL Bluetooth Headset with Detachable Microphone, Multi-Point Wireless Headset w/DSP Noise Canceling Mic for Phone PC Laptop, Comfort & Light Open Ear headphones for Office Meeting Home Work, 12H

I was looking for a Bluetooth headset for use with my working from home set up and came across this by pure accident. I liked the style as it wrapped around your head and over your ear and came with a detachable microphone which meant that I could use these as a normal headphone as well. Reading the other reviews, the general consensus was that these were a pleasant surprise and for 20-odd quid and the ability to return if unhappy, I had little to lose.Ordering and delivery was the usual Amazon efficiency, so no issues thereItem arrives in a smallish cardboard box, with the headset held in a plastic tray. It was held in fairly snuggly, so I was careful when removing as I did not want to break any part by just yanking it out. Initial impressions were really good. The headset was a nice grey colour, the buttons had a nice firm click and feel, it appeared well put together, with no gaps or rough edges, so QC seemed to be on point. What I wasn't expecting was how light the headset was - it is very light. Now this is great from a comfort perspective as you will hardly notice that you are wearing these, but I was concerned that the battery would be a weak point - more on that later.Design wise, I like the way that the headset loops around the back of your head and then loops over the top of your ear before resting on your ears. There is nothing that goes into your ear, nor does this cover your ear completely like an AE headphone would. The design is intentional as the seller says, this is so that you can head the environment you are sitting in as well, and to be honest, it works well. Having used this in the office, I have been able to hear the speakers on my various calls clearly, but also have been able to hear colleagues call my name. When the ambient environment gets too loud, I turn up the volume on the headset and carry on as normal - it works and works well. The additional benefit of this design is that I can also gauge how loud I am speaking and regulate my volume (we all have that person in the office who has no idea how loud they are!) the device is charged via USB-C (supplied) and the port is covered by a rubber cap to prevent dust ingress.Sound quality wise, again, pleasantly surprised. The sound is nicely balanced. Don't expect thumping bass or refined mids and highs, that's not what these are for, but the sound quality is surprising clear and rich. There is a low end present, which means they are enjoyable for listening to music as well as their primary use of a working headset. They go decently loud and don't leak sound like you would think given the open design. The ear-ports are designed to be pointing into your ear, so there's not much that leak out. The people sitting next to me have never complained that they could hear my conversations. I also like this design as I wore these when out cycling with the kids. It meant that I could enjoy my music, whilst also being aware of the roads, traffic and my kid's cries for a rest or something to drink. I've not worn them for running, but given the design and the weight, I suspect they will be equally suitable.There's an inbuilt microphone and the detachable boom, both of which work well as the people on the other end of the call can hear me clearly. The noise cancelling also appears to work well as again I have not had complaints about a noisy background. I really like the detachable boom. It's held on magnetically and has 360 degree rotation. The only negative is that it can only be attached to the right side of the headset, whereas I personally like the microphone on the left - but it's no biggie and certainly doesn't detract from the headset's versatility.Coming back to the battery, this was the last bit of the "pleasantly surprised" experience so far. Being so light, I suspected a tiny battery that would give me a couple of hours and then need constant recharging. Not so. I fully charged these on the day they arrived and used them for about 5 days before needing to charge them again. Now that's not continuously for 5 days, but it does include 4 /5 30 mins calls each day, a couple of hours on the bike and then random watching of videos / listening to music as well, so really good. The real test will be how long the battery works, but that's the long term test!One final point to be aware of is that this headset can be connected to 2 devices simultaneously, meaning I have it connect to my mobile and laptop at the same time, and it connects to whichever device I get a call on - not bad considering how little this headset costs!In conclusion, this is a great bit of kit, works well, sounds good and doesn't cost the earth. It looks well made and hopefully will last a while. It had be used a headset and headphone, so 2 devices in 1 and, importantly, just works!If you're on the fence, give it a try and maybe you too will be pleasantly surprised

I am impressed with this G9 headset. I already have the G3. However, I needed another headset, as I used them a lot, and sometimes forget to charge. So having a second pair means I can easily swap over, whilst the other is charging. Delivery was quick, too.The sound quality is fantastic. I was impressed with the sound of the G3, but the G9 is far better. It has good clear sound quality. For music, it has a nice base and beautiful clarity to the sounds, I thought. Sound quality for a phone call is also really good. I can hear the other person clearly. Speaking with my mum, who is hard-hearing, the detachable boom helps to ensure, she can also hear me well. The boom is very easy to detach or attach. It is magnetic. Even without the boom, I am able to have a nice conversation and the other people can hear me well.It is comfortable and light to wear. Like the G3, it is comfortable to wear with glasses and sometimes easy to forget that you are wearing it. I love that, now G9 headphones has volume control on the headset. I got used to the position of the controls, very quickly. The buttons also have a nice feel to them, when they are press. You get a good feedback on pressing them and a soft click sound too. The same for the multifunctional power on and off button. A nice ergonomic design, I felt.The price is great for the sound quality and features. I looked at similar headphones with similar features, but was put off by how expensive some of them were, for similar features. So this ones for the price, comfort, sound quality and features, I am very happy.Oh, this is can be paired with two devices also. I have it paired to my laptop and phone. Switch between the two devices is seamless. If I am on the laptop and the phone rings, it automatic switch to the phone, so I can take the call, if I want to. Pairing was easy. However, I found it was better, I paired it first with the laptop. Then disconnect the the Bluetooth (not unpair) the headset from the laptop or switch the laptop off, then pair the headset to the second device; mobile. After that, if I played or listen to something on the laptop or the mobile, it just switched seamlessly, as mentioned. So for me, this is fabulous buy and I am very happy with it.

I'd always been used to in-ear, individual ear pods in the past, but found some just wouldn't retain much charge after minimal use. Also back ground noise was always an issue with in-ear pods. So when I saw this I was instantly drawn to it's stylish and futuristic design. Comes with a detachable mic boom piece which adds the wow factor when you are seen wearing it in the office. Boom is magnetic and can be swivelled 360 degrees on the right ear phone.Boom only fits on right ear phone, left ear phone can't be used for boom. Headset comes as one piece, connecting left/right ear phones with a curved wire structure, that acts like a neck/head rest to help wear headset comfortably. These ear phones sit on the outside of your ears, there is no piece that goes in the ear itself. Can feel uncomfortable if worn for prolonged time. Sound quality is great, zero crackling as with other headsets/ear phones. Small and light weight form factor, can easily carry in bag, jack pocket or wear around neck for quick access.Can be used for listening to music and playing MMPO games which have built in modes you can change. Inbuilt system messages/voice is loud when in use and will alert you when receiving inbound calls. Uses latest bluetooth 5.3 chip and USB C charging port. So far so good, not really pushed it to it's limits with testing for background noise, though it does say it has built in noise cancelling. Have use multiple times for calls, since fully charged and still has 60% left. If you are in a sales or service job, this is a must buy! Also connects to 2x BT devices at once, however only one BT device can actively use the headset.
