Sound Blaster JAM V2 On-Ear Lightweight Bluetooth 5.0 Wireless Headphones with USB-C, aptX Low Latency, aptX HD, Multipoint Connectivity, Voice Detection and Noise Reduction, 22 Hours Battery Life

I have got a TV without a wireless headphone output together with a SkyQ box which also does not have a wireless output. I have tried several bluetooth trasmitters and headphones but the problem has always been poor lip sync i.e. latency.So finally I discovered that what I needed was a blue tooth 5 transmitter with APT-X LL and matching headphones. Surprisingly some of the most expensive headphones do not have a low latency codec.The cheap bluetooth transmitters are no good for TV and I ended up with a Taotronics TT-BA09 Pro then set out to find some bluetooth 5 headphones at a reasonable price.I soon realised that noise cancellation is where the big expense comes in so once I decided that ANC was an unecessary luxury I started to look for low-medium cost headphones.Like trying to compare smartphones, trying to compare headphones is a recipe for frustration. I ended up searching for headphones with a 5 star rating, thinking this is going to be sooo costly.Lo and behold, the top-rated headphones appearing here on Amazon is the unlikely Sound Blaster! I was really surprised at the spec- it has a higher spec that headphones costing three times as much. So I bought a pair.This is a pair for watching TV - the sound quality is OK and better than I expected. My Doqas headphones are a tight fit and hurt my ears after 20 minutes or so. These headphones are very lightweight and comfortable enough to wear for hours at a time. The controls are a bit fiddley to find by feel, except the on-off which is a large round disc covering most of the one earpiece. Pairing with the Taotronics was simple and worked first time. There is a bass boost button which is useful when music is playing. The headphones are not foldable. They connect via cable as well as bluetooth but only to a USB port on your laptop/PC not an audio jack input. There are two built-in mikes but beware - these are not ANC headphones - the noise cancellation is latest technology CVC (Clear Voice Capture) so it's noise cancellation when making a call, not when listening to whatever. They support two connections but I haven't tried to pair it also with my Firestick.So all in all, despite some limitations these are the best value headphones for watching TV, very comfortable and adequate (20 hrs) listening time. Highly recommended. Note: make sure your bluetooth transmitter is fully compatible if you intend getting one.

Been buying Creative since the 90s for a reason ... they had had an iPod years before AppleBetter kit too ... and priced with decencyWhen compared to full over-ear, heavy headphones, the AptX raises the bar on these compared to non Aptx ... they are great at mid volume ... not so much at high volume. Way more comfortable and light, not as stable on the head ... move about a lot ... be careful when peeing they don't fall in the toilet as you watch your latest golden masterpieceBattery around 10 - 15 hours for me ... nice USBC ... great Bluetooth connection ... bluetooth 5 is so efficient that batteries last almost twice as long as Bluetooth 4 products ... it can also remember 8 Bluetooth device connections rather than 2Not designed to go to sleep with, due to one whole side being the power button ... I'm constantly turning them off and onBass button, really needs to be on at all times, so you will often realise that they sound not so good cos u haven't pressed it yet ... a bit annoyingMusic easily sounds as good as £15 - £30 earbudsCreative are one of those companies that earn your respect with their products, and make you brand loyalMy portable speaker is the Creative Iroar Go (£80) ... sounds just as good as the Apple product ... but I can put a microSD card in it and use it as a jukebox, without a phone feeding it ... 200 albums on an SD card and long pressing the fast forward and back buttons shifts between albums ... brilliant for a music lover ... not just mp3 on the SD card either .. It supports FLAC files which are high definition, lossless mp3 files basically ... zero compression and so sound as good as the CD

TLDR - great for windy environments - very light - excellent button controls - initial playback will stutter :/As someone who has a pretty sensitive spot at the top of their head, I can only use headphones that are very light, which means that these are one of my only choices. I also got these because they were very cheap. But as I’ve used these, I’ve been very impressed. They have a very long battery life. They’re easy to charge. These have my favorite button controls. I love the giant button on the side that pauses and plays things because you can kind of nudge it with your shoulder if your hands are messy and you need to pause for a second. I’ve also found that this type of ear pad tends to get rid of a lot of wind noise since it’s essentially the same material as you would use on a studio microphone to reduce plosive noise. So these are the best headphones I have for using in lots of wind. These also have lossless audio support when used with a wire. Their range is also very impressive. I recently got the brand new AirPods 4 and the range on these headphones is slightly better than those AirPods. The multi point connectivity is also very good. It often works better than the automatic device switching that my AirPods have. In my opinion there is only one issue that really brings these headphones down. It’s the lack of AAC support. AAC is the higher quality codec that iOS and iPadOS use. There’s a small fee per device to use it, so I’m guessing that’s why it was excluded here. But what that means is that if you use these with an iPhone or an iPad, it will fall back to SBC instead. The audio quality of SBC is fine, in my opinion. The issue is that almost every time you play something, there are a bunch of stutters for about half a second and then it will play smoothly. I would guess that this is because most things are encoded in AAC and the audio is having to be re-encoded into SBC to be streamed to these headphones. This issue occurs with pretty much every app, but it doesn’t happen if you just quickly pause and play the same thing and sometimes it doesn’t even happen when you play a new song or video. But every time without fail, it does happen if you first turn the headphones on and play anything. It happens often enough to be quite an annoyance. If these supported AAC, I don’t think I would even really care that much about having AirPods. Hopefully they make a V3 with that support added. If you are using these with android, you can opt for the act X support that these have and you might avoid that one issue. Overall, these are very good headphones for an excellent price.
