It's in Developer Options. Google how to enable, it's fairly easy.

This was how it appeared on my phone (running Android 9). Each paired bluetooth device has a Settings icon, when you tap the icon on the Outlier, the attached screen appears.

I connected to the device and went into it's Bluetooth settings and there was a tickbox for high quality sound.

Cheers guys - this is the same as mine more or less (Oreo - moto phone) - found it under the specific device settings (under bluetooth). Thanks for the help!

It might be under the developer options that somebody else posted above?

That was me. 😂

Just reiterating that not every flavour on android has the same settings.

I've used about 7 hours of this over the past day or so. No drops, even while cycling so happy out with them as a secondary headphone.

loving the Creative, sound is top notch etc, a little confused how to you power them down.

Just put them back in the case.

Love the creatives but its a bit of a hindrance to put them in the case to disconnect them if you have other devices using Bluetooth

These them? Tempted to pick up a pair.. good for running obviously?

EDIT: Bah, hate shipping charges. Have a £8 voucher for Amazon so may price-check there.

Yeah, pretty good and comfortable. It takes a minute or two for the control unit to settle into a sort of rhythm so you don't notice it moving, there's a clip for your collar. It also comes with secure tips to help keep them in your ear but I never even needed to give them a try as without them they're pretty snug.

Built in mp3 player is cool!

Might seem like a stupid question, but is it possible to get wireless earphones with a built in FM radio?

So the volume on my i10 tws has gone right down.

No matter how high I put it on my phone, it's pathetically low.

Tried a forget and re-pair but the same.

Anyone any suggestions? Apart from sending them back like..

Anyone tried these GUSU ones?

Great reviews and one of the few Bluetooth ones I can find that aren't in ear (hate them!)

Anyone have the ZOLO Liberty+? They are currently £109 on Amazon but there's a £50 voucher available. Anker stuff is usually excellent.

Was a toss up between these or the BH-60's and pricewise these won out.
Will share a review when she gives me a go

I got a set of bh-60s today, will be flying tomorrow so that'll give them a good test. Will report back...

Amazon has Anker bluetooth earphones in its 'deals of the day' today. may be of interest to some:

The sound core with the bigger battery case is cheaper than the ones on the deal of the day.

Edit: sorry my mistake. The ones I linked to are Soundpeats and yours were Soundcore.

I wore these for most of today. I flew on an Aer Lingus Regional ATR (the little turboprop), was on 2 trains, wandered around city centre for a little bit and sat in airport for a long bit. All in all, maybe 9-10 hours total, ANC on the whole time.

First things first, my battery shows 60% remaining just now, so that's pretty excellent. My initial impression on sound quality is that they are quite good. I watched some videos, listened to music and Podcasts, was never an issue with the overall quality. I flicked ANC off a few times to see if that had any impact on quality, I didn't notice any major difference. I must say though that these are not the loudest headphones. Full volume is plenty loud with no distortion, but I would have liked the ability to turn them up just a smidge more for some music.

Noise cancelling is good. While on the plane it drowned out nearly all background noise. There was no pressure sensation I've heard other headphones can cause, and the effect of just switching anc on without playing anything can be nice. It's not 100% effective, and I've heard better noise cancelling from more expensive headphones, but it does a very good job nonetheless.

Bluetooth quality was excellent. I had phone and tablet connected at different times. In hand and in either front pocket caused no dropouts at all, the only time I had an issue was when I popped phone into back pocket. The connection speed is excellent, super quick to connect, and there is no perceptible audio lag in videos. I'm comparing this to a set of Anker soundcore earbuds which, while louder, take long to connect, have more dropouts and have a slight delay in netflix/YouTube.

Comfort is good. The ear cups are squishy, but you might struggle a little if you have big ears to fit them in fully. They do get a little hot after a while, but nothing that is uncomfortable in any way.

All in all, I'd highly recommend them. I got these on offer from amazon last week for £50 which is a bargain. Plus the carry case is sturdy enough that you wouldn't be worried flinging them into bad.

So the Mixcder MS301 were delivered this morning and I'm testing them out for the Mrs.

Never really used Over Ear noise cancelling headphones. Always been an in ear guy usually with a Sugru mod to get a good ear canal fitting.

I must say for €36 I'm pleasantly pleased!
Robust Aluminium and plastic.
Comfortable Earcups and headband.
Feels a more substantial unit than the discounted price suggests.

I'm using a Mi8 with ViperFX and the range and tone of the sound is really broad.
With good response and isolation.
Currently listening to some Live and other grunge type stuff with the TV on and the dog running around.

And the noise cancelling is really knocking out the background noise.
Really comfortable listening experience and one that I feel with a little bit of headphone/EQ tuning would be excellent.

I may buy a 2nd pair for myself!

Where did ye get them for €36? They're double that on amazon now
