Hi,
I just need to find new headphones for the 645.
Any experiences with the Garmin list or any other models?
Thanks, Jol
After having big issues with the Apple Airpods i got the Aftershokz trekz air bone conducting earphone (wanted these for safe running anyway) Ive been using for about 2 hours with no problems at all.
The Garmin FAQ is basically a non-apology for not supporting any truly wireless bluetooth headphones/earphones.Putting your own spin on what “wireless” means does not somehow change the understood meaning since Year Dot, which is that no wires are required to connect the headphones/earphones to the source of the audio content being played back, irrespective of how the headphones/earphones as a separate device (from the audio source) is constructed – with or without an over the head or behind the neck frame or cord joining the two bits that go either into or over the listener's ears.
Let’s face it – Garmin is buying off the shelf bluetooth chips and associated firmware and dropping it into their watch.As it should.
If you find something that works fantastic, if not, then that’s a shame. For all of us.Actually, if not, then it's potentially a contribution to a crowd-sourced knowledge base of what works, so that customers can be more confident of what the viable options are if they want a particular outcome. Not making the field of options as wide as possible is not a shame.
If you look at the official list of supported/recommended headphones/earphones you will probably notice that the only models on the list are all corded models, i.e. those earpieces that are connected to each other by a cord. And no mention of other non-Apple truly wireless models such as the Jabra Elite Sport or Bragi Dash products. Why is that? Probably because they have poor connection problems to the 645m as well.
What do you think of these so far?
