Makes sense to me. The audio quality isn't good. You never seem to know what they are going to decide to connect to a different device.
I had a pair, when the battery died I decided not to replace them. They are an environmental mess as well.
I use Bose QC35 headphones via Bluetooth at the gym to listen to music. A Blue Snowball iCE for podcast type things. And wired, in ear headphones (from JBL) with a microphone on the cable for everything else.
- dado3212 5y agoYou wear QC35s to the gym?? Does the sweat not break down the ear pieces?
- pxx 5y agoYou can get replacement pads for ~$10.
- thebruce87m 5y agoThey break down fast anyway, but they’re cheap and easy to replace.
- GordonS 5y agoHow do you find the sound quality with the Blue Snowball iCE? How much does distance to the mic matter? (I'm in the market for such a mic, and this one seems good!)
- BirdieNZ 5y agoNot the parent, but the big issue I've had with the Snowball (which I think is an issue with condenser mics in general) is that it picks up way too much audio, so if you don't have a very quiet environment and a good mic boom and shock mount then it will pick up everything. Breathing, keyboard and mouse clicks, a dog barking 3 houses away, a truck going past. I've since switched to an AudioTechnica ATR2100X (cardioid dynamic mic) and have found it sounds much better for the environment I'm in.
- rahimnathwani 5y agoNot sure if you're talking about the Snowball or the cheaper Snowball Ice. I have the Snowball and the sound quality is great. There's a hardware control to switch between narrow/wide pickup.
