What about you? Did you try the MK2?
Did you try the mics for both the 1RBT and Plantronics? If so, which was better? Slightly better or definitely noticeable? Thanks
nope, I've not tried the mk2 because i live in EU and they're not easy to get here with a return policy.
But you could ask in the thread of n00b2 or in the mk2 thread.
The mics of the mk1 were ok but I didn't compare them side to side with the Plantronics. Beside, testing the mics is not so easy, you must call somebody and ask them how they hear you...
I lately did it with Plantronics, ATH, Pendulumic and AKG, calling a patient friend of mine. He said that the Plantronics were very good, the ATH good, the Pendulumic ok, and the AKG not so good...
Are the Plantronics only ones under $250 with dual pairing? I'd love to listen to my PC or Android tablet & still take calls on my iPhone, but they do seem a bit bulky.
The Stance S1+ are what I would most likely go over ear for. Really loving those, as long as their not too heavy. The Revo's are the other one I'm considering.
But that wirecutter article is bizarre. Unless you want $500 Sennheiser's, they're saying there's nothing better than the $100 Jabra Move's? Nothing between $150-$300 that might be better? Seems odd.
yes, i believe the Plantronics are the cheapest multipoint.
The Stance are very light. No problems at all. Lighter than Plantronics (which, yes, are bulky. To get a not bulky multipoint you should go with the Fidelio m2bt if you can buy them from an EU amazon like UK or similar.
In US they're too expensive).
Yes, wurecutter is a very strange place. Such a great potential of many professional reviewers all together, but also so many strange contraddictions.
You can read there the comments I've left. My nick there is Sir Joe, like in amazon.
I've listed a lot of headphones which they didn't test. A lot of important ones.
And anther guy noticed that in the previous version of that review they said that they tested and excluded the Move, which are now their pick. They have answered that they had tested a pre release version... Nice work from Jabra if they were able to so much dramatically change something from the pre-release to the release version to change their mind from dismiss to top-pick.
Anyway, it is still a nice place where you can read lot of things about many headphones all together, although they mostly ignore the mid expensive ones and review thousand of useless cheap ones and a couple of high end ones.
