Ohh, I forgot, in the Review I will talk about the in-ear headphones and the new Luna with wireless charging as well. and there will be a surprise Guest.......
Did it come with a controller cable?
Nope, the controls are on the sides of the headphones, volume and bluetooth-button on the right, play/stop and track forward/backward on the left. The play/pause allso works as take/cancel call.Quote:

Yes an no, It comes with a cable so that you can go wired, but the microphone is on the headphones.Quote:

Thanks for the info. I assumed it had controls on the side, just like other bt headsets. However, some headsets come with a cable that has controls also. For example, the purity on-ear headset has two included cables: one plain and one with controls.
Yes, but they don't have any controls on the headset.Quote:

So you can change tracks with the headset with the battery drained? I doubt it, which is the reason for the controls on the cable.Quote:

Nice! Thanks for the info.Quote:

It does say that the noise canceling doesn't work, my guess is that it requires more power than the 3,5 mm can supply.Quote:

Im sorry if you misunderstood, Im not arguing with you, I was genuinely interested in why they wouldn't work 10 cm up on the cable, thought maybe you knew something I didn't? :)
Any time :)Quote:

An easy way to check is to turn the bt off on your phone, connect the headset to the phone via cable, and attempt to use the controls that are on the side of the headset. I would be shocked if they work.
By the way, I would hardly expect them to work, and I don't consider it to be a flaw in the unit. As an aficionado of bt headsets, I'm very excited to try these out. I've owned almost all of the high-end bt sets, and hope these compare to the Harmon Kardon set, which I currently consider the best.
I turned the bluetooth of on my phone, connected the cable, and..........They worked :)Quote:

If you are a fan of BT headsets you would love these, it feels premium and they have thought about my favorite thing, details :)
( even the box was premium)
EDIT: When i put in the cable it does the "power of" sound and voice so maybe they do work after all.
I understand that you still get sound with the bt off. I'm asking about the controls. Next track, volume, etc. Do those work with the bt off? I'm not expecting them to, but your implication that they do has my curiosity up.Quote:

Interesting. Can't wait to try these.Quote:

I wouldnt call them expensive. I have compared them today with a couple of other headphones and I would say they have good value. But it all depends on what a person is willing to spend. Is a Porsche expensive? I would say it depends.Quote:
