I have a set of JBL Everest Elite 750NC headphones. These work great for music from my phone. However they fail in so many other situations it's not funny. If I get a call then I get no voice and I have to switch HD Audio on and off to get anything. That is annoying but it's possible to live with. The real problems start when I try to connect it to my PC. It's a complete disaster there, I have to disconnect and reconnect multiple times to get anything to work. Sometimes it just never works. It can even result in audio itself crashing on the PC so I have to restart the whole thing. I was going to take the headphones back but I was reading up and apparently Bluetooth itself is a major disaster and then windows bluetooth on top of that is a further problem. Apparently Bluetooth doesn't have the bandwidth to sustain high quality audio and a mic at the same time. So it installs a high quality device and a low quality device. Switching between the 2 causes all sorts of problems.
Anyway, my question is, do other people have the same issues with their audio headphones when trying to make calls on their PC? If I take these back and get Sony or Boss headphones will I get similar issues?
I would add that everything works perfectly with my 10 year old plantronics bluetooth earpiece because it doesn't do high quality audio. I can use that and forget about making calls with the JBLs, it's just more hassle to carry 2 sets.
