[31] How to UseListening to musicSound quality modeSwitching the sound quality mode

The sound quality is set to the “Standard” mode (SBC high quality mode) as the default setting.

When using an AAC or aptX compatible device, select the “Priority on sound quality” mode.
If the connection is unstable, such as when producing only intermittent sound, select the “Priority on stable connection” mode.
To check the current sound quality mode, see “Checking the sound quality mode.”

Turn on the headset by pressing the POWER button for more than 2 seconds while holding the VOL+ or VOL– button down.

If you turn on the headset while holding the VOL+ button down, a mode with more priority placed on sound quality is selected.

Note

When you turn on the headset by pressing the POWER button only, the headset does not indicate the sound quality mode with flashes of the indicator (blue).
The playback time may become shorter, depending on the sound quality and the conditions under which you are using the headset.
Depending on the ambient conditions in the area where you are using the headset, intermittent sound may still occur, even if the “Priority on stable connection” mode is selected.

[32] How to UseListening to musicSound quality modeChecking the sound quality mode

When the sound quality mode is switched, the headset indicates the remaining battery charge by flashing the indicator in red first, and then in blue to indicate the sound quality mode. You can check the current sound quality mode by the number of flashes of the indicator (blue).

To check the current sound quality mode when the unit is turned on, hold the POWER button down and press the VOL+ or VOL- button within about 2 seconds (before the headset turns off). The current sound quality mode will be shown by the number of flashes of the indicator (blue).

“Priority on sound quality” mode: the indicator (blue) flashes 3 times
SBC (high quality), AAC or aptX is selected automatically.

“Standard” mode: the indicator (blue) flashes twice

Got mine today. Sounds good but I think they do need to be run in to loosen up a little.
In case anyone misses it you can improve Bluetooth sound quality by holding down Volume+ and powering on the headphones. Compatible source device needed.

Can order these again at £70.00 on back order. Stock due 16th July

It's back (back-ordered for mid-July), so act fast before this deal 'unexpired' or and the deal is posted again under a new one here on HUKD!

By the way, the reviews are so divisive. I know this is bass heavy, but many say it takes away from normal audio quality even without the bass boost mode. I would like feedback from the owners here about the quality of the sound without bass boost, and whether the bass is overbearing, again without bass boost mode... Just want to know if these are decent Bluetooth headsets (taking the bass out of the equation)?

I have 'ordered' one but I may very well cancel it before the 15th (or keep it) depends on opinion here, so thank in advance for any feedback. :smiley:

Well you should be able to feel it, especially the sub bass. I've had 800s, 910s and now own the wired 950s and 500s and the bass can be felt on my ears on each pair, the 500s the most though because of how light they are I assume. Give it time, the drivers might be stiff and need some flexing before the bass can be pushed harder.
Try leaving a song with sub Bass and treble on loop at midish volume for a while to see if there's any change?

Bass Boost button on and i still want more bass as i want to feel the vibrations but as you said might need time to adjust. I think I need to lower my expectations ha this probz the best it's gonna get.

Even with the bass boost button? Could even require burn in. My XB800s required about 15-20 hours before the bass came out. It was too tight and shallow to begin with.

I have a pair of Sony mdr Bluetooth headphones and purchased this transmitter for my Sony Bravia tv: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/aw/d/B00QUXM2FM/ref=sr_ph?ie=UTF8&qid=1467103987&sr=1&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=taotronics+bluetooth

Transmitter works great, no lag and decent range as long as its not placed behind TV. I have a soundbar connected by optical cable which means the transmitter can be plugged into tv's headphone jack permanently. Can also be charged via USB at same time as using. Great little device!

I recieved it but I must be crazy because I would prefer more bass on them :confused: haha.

may be expired but for those interested in these headphones I can confirm they are sh*t hot.

Unlucky mate :/

NOoooooooooooooooo I hesitated and its gone goddamnit

Gosh, seriously fighting consumerism is a battle. I have a Sony XB700 that I bought circa 4 years ago. Still works fine, even though most of the leather has peeled off, yet I keep getting attracted to deals like this. Having little money helps fight the urge to buy though :smile:

No longer available, cheapest new now £118.45. There is one for £63.41, used - very good, by Amazon Warehouse.

I am bass mad and normally use the Bass Booster app on my phone for a small difference. There's a review where the buyer says no need for the Bass Boost button as it's already Bass heavy so mabey using the app might make it crazy with bass on max ha.

I'm off to read the reviews but does anyone know what the sound leakage is like with these??

i.e. Would I get battered by other commuters if I use them :-)

Yeah, nothing like dem beats, innit.

Try Prime Now in your city.

​Even that option has gone now. It was there 5 minutes ago though :disappointed:

How do I get this working with my TV, chrome cast?

The £70 option now says "Back-ordered. Due in stock July 2 -- order now to reserve yours"

Still £70 in more £ options

Appears out of stock but still accepting orders.

I just got a Flubit offer of £63, already a stonking deal made even better!

HOT!
Nearly bought at full price yesterday (£120). Been researching Bluetooth headphones for last couple of days and it was too hard to make my mind up but this deal done it for me.
Gonna get a Bluetooth transmitter for my TV also.
Anyone know if its better getting a toslink one or regular 3.5mm one?
Already have a cheap sound bar using the RCA connectors so I hope the audio will signal will still be output by the other ones at the same time.

Absolute steal!

Yes

Flubit Elite 2 pairs for £125. £62.50 each : )

I think it's a price error as the wired version is £68.01

UNBELIEVABLE PRICE!!
I was looking for these to reduce for months whilst I had my Plantronics Backbeat Sense, but ended up buying the Xb650bt's for a steal the week they were released!!

For a £70 headphone what bar should I place?

Great Heed Ferns! :smiley:

Great find! Just ordered...add to the headphone collection lol

I have this, in my opinion better than Beats equivalent.

​I have the ap version so am sure I'll enjoy the bt! THX!

Received the Sony MDR-ZX770BN yesterday and in process of returning them as the sound isn't right for me. I paid £68.75 from Warehouse Deals. These were over £100 so didn't order them but now that price is to good. Thanks I guess I am bass heavy.

I ordered it with same day evening delivery but just noticed that it's in stock at London Prime Now (check the app for other city's) same price and if you create a new account you get the £10 off.

freaking hot this thanks! ordered immediately

Got a refurb pair a few months ago for about £95. Great headphones. Bass is unbelievable (if you like that sort of thing). Hot.
