    can you update the firmware on them - my bose 700s had similar problems with windows laptop until Bose updated the firmware.

    First thing l did was upgrade the firmware. It’s odd , even when they are connected the sound is very choppy , for example when watching YouTube, sound is fine for a few mins and then suddenly gets very choppy, once l disconnect them sound is perfect again from the laptop speakers

    Payment taken yesterday but I still haven't received an email saying that my sub has begun or that the headphones will sent out soon. Is this what others have experienced?

    Received this morning! I have to say, I have well impressed with them. I have had untold earphones over the years, from very expensive audiophile examples to meager models. These really are not bad at all and very comfortable. The only gripe I would have is that the mic isn't the clearest, but this is to be expected with no extending microphone. I take that back, it appears to be a windows issue and not being able to handle the dual mic's properly.

    I have paired them to my W10 laptop and haven't experienced any drops.

    UPDATE: There does appear to be a persistant mic issue on windows 10. Basically it does not seem to perform any noise suppression so you can hear yourself and everything around you when the mic is activated. An example is if you are on a zoom call, even when you have the call muted. Also there are constant "More than X hours playtime remaining" messages.

    I've never had luck pairing bluetooth to Windows laptop, it always goes choppy or stuttering. Across a range of headphones.

    I've connected these to my phone and LG TV, works great for both. No noticeable audio sync issues with TV too which is appreciated, means I can pump the volume and not worry about waking the small fella. I'm impressed with them.

    I started mine 3 weeks before that and no sign.
    Ill give it a bit longer before contacting them.

    There was a mix up with my email address but the fact several got no confirmation and they just arrived means its probably not due to that.

    Could someone test their pair on a call for me? Be it on your phone or a laptop. I just want to see does everyone else experience the same problem of the mic being very sensitive and coming through the headset itself.

    Yep I can hear my own audio through, such as my footsteps in the background if I'm walking on our wooden floor while in a call/mic is on.

    From my extensive research today, this may be a safety feature and cannot be turned off. This makes these virtually useless as a headset for calls.

    But it was "free" and the sound quality apart from that is great! :o

    I've had a few calls that have been great quality but appreciate that it's not everyone's cup of tea to have that feedback. My other half has noted that I don't shout as much on calls with them on as I would my other headphones so maybe there is some benefit! Haha :)

    Lucky you. I had payment taken on the 4th of November but still no email about the headphones. Rang them yesterday and they assured me that I would get the email in the next couple of days...

    Same for me - I like the feedback. It took a little bit of getting used to but it doesn't bother me anymore.

    Same as that. Signed up in September and no sign. Just generic responses from their customer service, that’s when they do respond.

    I received mine this week. About 10days after first payment (i.e. €16) went through.

    Very happy with them. Working well for work calls as they support sidetone so you can hear yourself speaking. Also happy to discover they have multipoint. So have connected to phone and laptop at sametime. The IOS app also lets you change the EQ which will be reflected on other devices (i.e. its not just a local eq on the phone).

    Just posting here for others that might have signed up; my second months subscription was due on the 22nd June and was duly paid. No sign of the headphones by last Friday 2nd, so I logged a contact us request (in the morning), and got no reply - headphones delivered today by UPS
