AKG Q701GRN Quincy Jones Signature Over the Ear Headphone (Green) Review

AKG Q701GRN Quincy Jones Signature Over the Ear Headphone (Green)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've gone through so many headsets. By far these are the best. In the past year I have gone through 4 pairs of beats by dres, a pair of solo's, and some of the in ear headsets. Beats kept breaking, solo's just aren't that comfortable and the in ear beats just don't stay in your ear, even with changing out the ear pieces.
Only complaints about the Q701, Quincy Jones signature line ones, if you consider this a complaint is that the cord is long, which is great I've always wanted have one as long as they are but it would be nice to have a shorter one as well. It's atleast 8 ft long even longer. Always wanted to have one that long but it's just a hassle if im at work using them. And it would be great if they came with or you could get a case for them.
Other than that, they are AWSOME. I never write reviews about products I have purchased, but had to say something about these. I have been trying to get a pair like this for the longest time. Even smelt like a new car or boat when I took them out of the box. And the music sounds AMAZING, and never had a pair as comfortable as these. The beats would hurt my ears after a while, but these don't even touch my ears and the adjustment works really well. Unlike my beats which would keep braking.
Final note, if you are willing to spent the money, I suggest these. Def. worth the money, I'm even thinking about buying another pair just for work so I don't have to cary them around with out a case.

Plantronics Mobile Headset Amplifier with 2.5mm Plug Review

Let me first say that before you buy one of these amps - try adapter cords from the plantronics quick disconnect to plugs first. Chances are you DONT need an amplifier - and this one is no fun. I managed to get my desk voice tube amp (M10 or M12 if I recall) to plug into my cellphone with just an adapter cord - MY speach volume was down a bit but nobody complained, and I used the cell phone's volume to increase the earpiece.
A well designed 2.5 mm amplifier is a great idea. It sure beats a half dozen adapters to hook up a bigger amplifier and expand/reduce the plug size. However the drawbacks outweigh the product design because new phones like the android based phones and the iphone are using 3.5mm 4 terminal plugs for their headsets, which don't work without kludgy adapters on this amp.
Also consider that the amp is powered by a Zinc/Air battery. They start dying the moment they are exposed to air (you pull off a tape seal over an air hole) - regardless if you use them or not. Zinc Air is NOT a problem for a hearing aid, which definitely is going to get its value out of the battery before it dies, but the amplifier should have used a good old standard lithium cell to run it.
As mentioned by others plantronics uses a cut in/ turn off design to save battery power (I have an amp on my desk phone and I can hear when it cuts out during quiet passages. This can create problems that are a royal pain. No signal for a few seconds and you lost your amp. That's not just annoying - its a bad design. A simple on/off switch would have done fine but people would need to remember to shut it off when not in use.
Better idea - go buy a real 3.5 mm amp and cut the 2.5 mm plugs off, solder the wires, and make a real amp work, preferably one not made by plantronics. This one won't work with modern smartphones which are the present workforce on the market with 44 android designs alone.
