I bought a pair of Bluetooth headphones the other day. Was really excited to have a slick new headset to replace my $3 earbuds & mic combo that I'm using on my PS4.
Turns out PS4 doesn't support Bluetooth. Just the 3.5mm jack.
Oh well, I guess I can use them at work. I whipped em out, paired em up to the Bluetooth on my laptop, and they paired up fine.
Unfortunately, they didn't show up in the list of default devices for sound output or microphone input.
An hour of googling, a new set of driver downloads, re-pairing, this time WITH the extra settings under the advanced menu checked off...
Still don't work. I can't afford to burn any more time on this. 3.5mm at the office it is.
Maybe they work on my phone (Android) ... They do.
It's actually really nice to have no wires between me and my music while at the gym. No worries about the phone call g out of my pocket while doing decline bench press, no annoyance about the phone getting in the way during a deadlift or clean & press (because it can sit on the floor!)
They were about 2 - 3 time more expensive than my regular headphones. Are annoying to charge, and only work in 1/3 of the places I need headphones.
But for the gym, they're not horrible.
Oh! And they're too damned loud with no volume control. I have my phone volume set to 1 and these things are still louder than I'd like.
Anyways, that's a long way of saying I tend towards agreeing with the article.
