Ear plugs are standard accessory for me as I'm often in a very noisy environment. But people can hear me clearly without problems which is very good. I wear them most of the time I'm awake, 7 days a week, for a couple years now. I do a lot of construction, maintenance, up on buildings and high ladders, etc. My previous headsets usually lasted a few months if I was lucky. Original opencomm . And I wear glasses. And I can just move the arm up a little and it effectively mutes. I'm also dirty, grimy, often covered in grease and paint and whatever and t don't think I've ever cleaned the Opencomm headset, the silicon sheds grime apparently. Another friend said he didn't like the microphone boom but then I told him that I can't see it so I don't care and he tried mine and then got his own.
I like the mute button, however I would have wish to see a small red led showing up, to indicate when it is muted, especially nice when accidently activated or when i forgot about the mute... I would also like the ability to have a busy led on during a call on the HEADSET itself, not only on the dongle (Application could allow us to use the power status light to be used as a busy light, so that coworker see, that you are in a call.) What are the advantages of using the Loop110 vs build in Bluetooth?
"Never Enough..." I don't normally comment on reviews here, but for yours I felt compelled. I am a fan of Open Comm and love this headset, was about to buy a second, only to discover the 2nd gen. with a mute button. SOLD. Now down to your review. Man, the best one lots of detail and love the humor attempts.😅 Keep up the great work. I subscribed too. Thanks so much!
Fantastic in-depth review! I have the shokz pro I use for working out, my wife said I’m yelling when using my headphones in calls. Ill definitely pick up the UC2
@@alexandrosr5179 that’s a shame . I ended up buying Bose quiet comfort for music instead . I’ll hold onto my jabra evolve2 65 for conference calls and my Aeropex for listening to podcasts .
I Just Want To Use These In Bluetooth Mode With My ZFold3 . My OpenComm 16 hour.Battery Was More Like 20 Hours. My 10 Hour Claimed Battery On My OpenRun Pro Is More Lime 12 To 14 Hours Per Charge .
I use aeropex because I have issues gunking up my in ear headphones. I also dislike the pressure that over ear headphones apply on my ears. It’s a no brainer.
I hope they fixed the microphone boom issue in this second version; After a while (8 months in my case) the microphone stopped working. Luckily Shokz sent me another unit (generation 1 again) that I hope will last at least another year.
Have you experienced issue with other end of the call hearing the "Mute Off" prompt when unmuting with the physical button? Recently been told that it can be faintly heard by others on a call...
It’s not ideal in places with high levels of ambient noise … I’ve found them to be near useless in an airplane near the engine for instance. They are better for like shopping and walking around outside - taking a call in a office is good
I use ear plugs when I want to hear music or podcast really well when I'm in a noisy place. My work van is very noisy and I can make calls and hear but if I need to really hear and converse I put in some ear plugs. My friend with them does the same in his semi.
@@neverenoughtech is the mute on and the beep present with teams without the loop110? That would be my main concern. I have sent a ticket to shokz to ask for compatibility as well. Will keep you posted.
Hi, FWIW - I use OpenRunpro (I don’t run) and the mic noise cancellation exceeds my expectations. I can wash dishes - noisily- and the other person can’t hear a thing - i asked them.
Does this headset allow for listening to music at the same time as being in a call? Some wireless headsets will change the codec being used when the microphone is active, and music sounds much worse while in a call with someone. I know this is the case for the normal OpenComm2 since I was able to test that, but not sure if it is also the case for the UC one since it has the Loop110. Have you tested this?
@@neverenoughtech yeah I want to have a bit of background music while being in a call! Would really appreciate it if you're able to test this for the UC one, thanks in advance!
