Great video. I had no idea that wireless stereo headsets even had a microphone built in. I own a pair of Sennheiser PXC550 wireless headphones that I use for my part time job scoring TOEFL speaking tests. Low and behold there is a microphone built in. I am going to give them a try in class tomorrow. Thanks for the headsup. I will try the Tribit if my Senns ever crap out.
I use the Bose Quiet Comfort 35. I have always had it wired into my MacBook Pro but last week it stopped working. Now, I'm using the Bluetooth function and it's pretty sweet. My only problem is that I don't always remember to charge them. Thanks for the back up suggestion Michael.
Thanks, Michael, for going through your very thorough checklist and explanations! I like the back-up cord. Love your teaching space, too. Ok...I'm going to order from Amazon!
Thanks for the video! I would've liked to hear you actually use them! I've been looking for an upgrade - I also teach with VipKid and need to cut down on cords! So restricting! Thanks!
The problem I am having actually is the headphones that *do* have noise cancelling. When I am trying to sound out a word and make a sound like "ssssss" that sounds like white noise, the headphones cut it out. Any recommendations from you or the comment section?
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I bought a logitech pair but I need to charge daily. I've been looking for one with a bit longer battery life in case I forget to charge. I'll try these! Thanks!
Thank you very much Michael. I am also a teacher but have not yet found what I need. I bought a Steelseries over-the-ear headset with a detachable mic. They seem good enough, however, the biggest problem is that I do not hear my own voice well, it's all muffled up. I end up talking louder just to hear myself and get sore throats from it. I am looking for a headset where I can hear my voice as well as my students' voices clearly. Can you please advice. PS. I was told that for teachers who need to talk more than listen, a headset with a mic sticking out would be more talk oriented, than those with built-in microphones. like do you feel you need to talk a bit louder just to be heard by your students as your headphone is with a built-in mic?
When you open up the classroom you might have to select the settings wheel (next to the camera button) and manually pair them. Or go to the sound preferences of your computer and make sure Bluetooth is turned on
I did that and it worked for the mic but for the sound there is no way to choose which device. I ended up using it wired today for classes. It works when using other apps on my computer such as TH-cam. So, it’s paired correctly. Too bad we can’t enter the classroom until 10 minutes before class now. No time to test it out really.
@@kimberlyshamilton9958 Did you ever figure this out? I just got these and and have the same issue. The microphone works but then I have no sound via bluetooth.
Great vid, thanks, Michael. I discovered there is not mute button. I just taught with a bad cough and students were copying me. Kind of embarrassing. Any suggestions for muting?
Oh no! I’ve been there before. With most teaching platforms there is a mute button within the teaching software. If you teach w VIPKid it’s right next to the webcam on/off button 🙂
One more question, Michael. I just received the pair of Tribit Xfree Tune. The sound is incredible, but I cannot hear my own voice through the headphone during a ViPKid class. Is that normal?
Good day Sir Michael, hope everything is well with you. I have a question for the microphone. Is this suitable for kids virtual learning ? Am looking for a good and inexpensive microphones for my kids. Waiting for your response. Thank you and more subscribers to come.
Can you recommend a bluetooth headphones for kids..my son will start online learning soon and im looking for wireless headphones that can block noise and has a clear mic..he is 6 years old. Thank you
Bose are by far better! Are they worth paying 8x the price though...probably not. If you’re just using them for teaching, the difference in quality is minimal
Cool to see someone successfully using bluetooth, thanks Michael! I have had bad luck with the microphone sound quality for bluetooth so very hesitant to buy another. Has anyone had issues with the microphone frequently cutting out or just simply not clear for the students to hear you? Also I know the range can also affect the connection quite easily. Wondering if these have good range, meaning that you can move around the room without affecting them.
Hey Justin! The mic has been working fine for me. As for the range, they can get a little sketchy if you go too far away (up or downstairs or to another room) but as long as you’re relatively close to your computer they’re great :)
@@UncleMikeVideos Good to know, I just just compared my current bluetooth of a similar design and specs (TaoTronics Active Noise Cancelling Headphones TT-BH22) to my wired headset and there was a noticable difference in clarity. The bluetooth seems quieter and muffled with multiple bluetooth mics I've had experience with. One student said they had to update the hardware but even then his wasn't so clear. I'm sure they are constantly improving this technology.
Thank you ! So glad I found this video as I ask you questions on another one that you answered here!
Yes! Glad you found it 🙂

Thanks for posting this. Very clear and to the point. I'm sold on the wireless and built in mic. Cheers.
I just purchased these from Amazon for $45 USD. One day shipping with prime so I'm excited to try them out this week! Thanks!👍
Awesome!! $45 is even better. Hope you enjoy them!!

No problem! I put the Amazon link in the description of this video :-)
woot woot! Thanks Michael Buying now!!
Awesome!! Hope you enjoy :)

Thank you for this video! I've been looking for a decent pair of headphones so I can teach English online through VIPkid. Take care!
Thank you for the review!!!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. I bought a logitech pair but I need to charge daily. I've been looking for one with a bit longer battery life in case I forget to charge. I'll try these! Thanks!
Yes, charging them every day would get annoying. 40 hours of battery life is pretty good if you ask me :-)

Hey! I don’t feel like I need to speak louder in order to be heard by my students. The mic on these headphones works just fine for my needs 🙂
So my wired headphones gave out today... I teach standing up also and need another option. Giving these a try. Thanks for the review.
Awesome! I hope you like them!!
Ordered it!
I just got these and love them. But I can’t get the sound to work with VIPKid platform on my pc unless they are wired with the plug. Any tips?

@@UncleMikeVideos haha, found it, thank you. What a doorknob I can be.
One more question, Michael. I just received the pair of Tribit Xfree Tune. The sound is incredible, but I cannot hear my own voice through the headphone during a ViPKid class. Is that normal?
Never mind. I guess it is normal after I switch to Tribit as input. I just have to remember not to speak so loud, haha.
Good day Sir Michael, hope everything is well with you. I have a question for the microphone. Is this suitable for kids virtual learning ? Am looking for a good and inexpensive microphones for my kids. Waiting for your response. Thank you and more subscribers to come.
Absolutely - it’s perfectly suitable for your kid’s virtual learning 🙂
Can you recommend a bluetooth headphones for kids..my son will start online learning soon and im looking for wireless headphones that can block noise and has a clear mic..he is 6 years old. Thank you
So sorry but I do t know, I’m familiar about any products like that
Thank you!
Can videos online still be heard through the bluetooth? Sometimes I show quick videos but I have to disconnect my earphones.
I couldn’t answer with any certainty
How is the sound quality compared to the Bose?
Bose are by far better! Are they worth paying 8x the price though...probably not.
If you’re just using them for teaching, the difference in quality is minimal
@@UncleMikeVideos like how would you rate both on a scale of 100? Bass:?/20, treble:?/20, mids:?/20, soundstage:?/20, instrument separation:?/20?
Thank you SIR!
Using Tribit in Aomori, Japan and love them.
You were right!
Mute button?
You can mute music. Not sure about the mic. If I need to mute I just use the microphone mute button on the VIPKid app :)
Michael Venn thanks. I need mute button.
