Conambo K10C

As with many people, I am working from home during the pandemic and needed a good headset at a reasonable price. Wasn't willing to pay $100+ for the brand name headsets. I tested 5 different headsets before settling on this one: 3 over the ear sets w/ one headphone & 2 in-ear, including this one. The reasons I chose this Canambo unit was:1. Multipoint Pairing - I am using this headset with my laptop (for video calls) and my mobile phone. Almost all of the headsets allowed the user to pair with two different components; however, this was the only headset that not only paired, but allows the user to transition between the two components seamlessly without having to connect and/or disconnect one to use the other. For example, if I'm listening to a Youtube video on my phone and a video call comes in from my laptop, the headset automatically mutes the YT video and takes the laptop call without me having to do this manually. I do not have the dexterity or patience to switch from one to the other when needed, so the seamless transition that this headset allows is priceless, and my single top priority for a headset. At this pricepoint, I really didn't think I would be able to benefit from this feature, let alone have it work so well.2. Comfort - I wear this headset all day, no less than 8 hours, so whatever I chose had to be comfortable. This unit is surprisingly comfortable. Multiple sizes of ear buds were included, so I tried most and found one that worked best. Towards the end of the day, the back of my ear, where the thickest part of unit lays, is only slightly uncomfortble. I could always switch ears at that point, but it doesn't bother me enough to do so.3. Call quality - no complaints. Not a single person has asked if I'm using a headset or complained about background noise, but disclaimer, I have only used this in an indoor office setting, so no wind or other noises are competing with this headset. One of the headsets I tested had a weird humming sound when in standby mode. This was so annoying and definitely put that unit at the bottom of the test pile for me. No humming or weird noises coming from this unit when not in use. I'm wearing it now and it's completely quiet.4. Buttons - I love the independent on/off switch! It's so much easier than holding down a multi-function button for 3+ seconds to turn on/off like most of the units required. The buttons on the ear piece are large enough to access, but I do not use them often since I tend to reach for my mouse (laptop) and/or phone to mute or control volume.4. Case for traveling - nice touch! The other unit I tried did not include a case.5. Battery life is outstanding - I've used the unit on standby mode for 8+ hours with frequent calls throughout the day for 6 days straight and it's still showing 60% remaining. At this rate, I'll likely only need to charge once every couple of weeks, and it only takes a couple of hours to fully charge.Some cons:1. Distance - I can go about 15' from the source before the headset disconnects. I was hoping for better distance than that, but it could also be a function of the bluetooth capabilities of my phone and/or laptop as well, not necessarily the headset itself.2. No caller announcement available on this model, which I know some headsets offer. This could be inconvenient for those wanting to use this in a car.3. It would have been nice for the charging port to be covered. Would have made for a really water-resistant unit. Not a huge deal since the port is at the bottom of the unit, so hard to get water in there while wearing I would think.The multi-point technology that this unit offers is what sold me on it at the end of the day. At less than $40, I couldn't ask for a better headset. It literally checked all the boxes. I've only had the unit for alittle over a week so cannot attest to longevity, but so far so good. Thinking of buying a spare in case this one quits on me!

9/25: I wrote the review below several months ago. I do like this headset at the price point. But there has been growing Bluetooth interference in both my hearing and my caller’s hearing. This is getting worse and worse. I have done the following with Bluetooth on my iP13 without resolution: turned BT on/off, iP on/off in between that, and removed reinstalled Conambo fr BT devices. No resolution. This is a disturbing problem. I will reach out to Conambo and add a comment here about the result.Old, initial review (I’d never hit “submit”). This replaces a Plantronics Bluetooth earpiece that is very highly rated, substantially more expensive, and resulted in caller complaints about our connection.This Conambo came with a nice case, a gazillion earpiece fittings, and a notation inside the case of exceptional tech support and warranty (see pic). It is obvious Conambo wants me happy - and happy for two years. I hardly needed to use the earpiece to know I would be satisfied. And my one-hour telatherapy visit today had not one can’t-hear-you interruption - it’s always a major bummer when I have to repeat an emotion.(So I’ve fired my therapist and now only talk with my Conambo Headset; but I’m told results are not covered under the Conambo or Ausurion warranty!).ps.: after several months, I can attest to apparent durability and good audio quality. The noise suppression isn’t as good as the highly-regarded highly-priced Plantronics earpiece this replaced; but this is much more solid feeling.

Comfortable. Easy to use. Lightweight. Good sound quality with good noise cancelation. Long battery life. Easy to connect to phone

Love the headset. This is my 3rd one. Customer service is excellent and quick at sending a replacement when still under warranty.

The Bluetooth is working perfectly but keep telling me that is out of range and the case came broken.
