Is it not just easier to buy an aux cable with an inline mic?
Hey that ain't such a bad idea...🤔
Sennheiser PXC550-II. But their cable-bilities (lol) suck. And Bluetooth back/forth/pause is so bad compared to cable buttons
I didn't realize this was such a common misfeature. I can only tell you that Taotronics ain't the right brand for you.
Check out the Shure Aonic 50. I think it supports that
I like how it does digital audio over USB-C. Thanks for the recommendation!
And it supports a large array of BT protocols. AptX HD is much better the LDAC in my opinion.
I think some Steelseries Arctis headphones do that, but you’d have to research that
I wanted to give an update, I eventually pulled the trigger on Sennheiser Momentum 4! It runs both audio and mic through USB making it perfect, plus they sound incredible! Very happy with my purchase. Thank you all!
Btw, what you're looking for is headphones with a "TRRS" (not TRS) jack/cable. Look for that in the specs, or find a photo of the plug and make sure it has exactly three (usually black) rings. (TRS will only have two.)
Your instructions are completely correct, but it might make more sense to look at the bands of metal rather than the insulator between them.
TRS stands for "Tip, Ring, Sleeve", referring to the 3 contacts on a TRS jack - one for the left channel, one for right and one for ground. TRRS as you might guess has an extra ring to provide a contact for the microphone as well. So you're looking for the metal tip, two rings of metal and then the metal sleeve.
True and technically correct. I just tried to simplify it to "Know the plug? Metal? Count how many things you see on it."
Does the mic also have to be bluetooth? It's not exactly what you asked for, but depending on your exact use-case, the ModMic might be interesting for you. It's a standalone headset mic that you can just slap on any normal over ears. It allows you to independently choose a nice pair of headphones from a much wider selection and use them as a headset. Only real disadvantage I see is the extra cable, but it's manageable.
