Earbuds again…

[sprchng]

I'm a bit confused,,,,are the lingos true bone conducting or not. Avantrees advertising doesn't say anything about them being that , just that they sit outside the ear.

they are Bone conduction, the Lingo's rest on your cheekbones next to your ears not in your ears or over your ears they are bone conduction headphone and they work great for me

I do not know what the issue is that synthnut had but I will tell you for me I am having zero issues hear anything coming through the Lingo's plenty of volume for me, like I said i do not know if synthnut's hearing is severely compromised or he just received a defective pair of Lingo's but mine work great no the volume is not booming but it is plenty loud enough that you can hear the tones from the Legend clearly and loud enough

Thanks , think I'll pass until I have an opportunity to try the tech out in a different means. What little I have read makes it sound like there are good and bad aspects to the bone conduction. Hard to imagine the quality of the sound after traveling through bone and tissue is the same quality as through air and a little ear wax. I can see where there is less conversion of the original vibrations and fewer mechanics involved but I will have to stay in the "show me" camp until I hear it.

they do have their upside and downside like any thing else downside to bone conduction is they are not as loud as in ear earbuds or over the ear headphones but the plus side is bone conduction does not damage your hearing like an in ear earbuds do or over the ear headphones do the volumes are not ear piercing with the Lingo's, or any bone conduction headphones and when you wear hearing aids they work great which is why I have been tring to find some that work and the Lingo's work great at least for me they do

here is something to think about also did you not say you purchased a set of the Avantree Torus and you like them a lot sprchng if that is correct did I lie about the Avantree torus do they not work like I stated, I can tell you the Lingo's work as I have stated also atleast they do for me

what does the Manticore utilize as a wireless connection Terry

Actually I don't know.
But I know the Equinox headphones won't pair with the Manticore from what I've read.

The company wrote back to me and asked for the product number, and also the batch number….I sent what info I had back to them I guess to see if they are an earlier set of Lingo’s…..They should be sending out a new set of Lingo’s to me, so customer service is very good !!…

OK,
look at the writing on one of the ear transducers….It’s tiny writing….One of the listings in these writings is the batch number…What is the batch number on yours ?…This might be the difference….Thanks, Jim

the batch number on my Lingo's is 23H1

Man you are correct that crap was very small i had to magnify it a bunch to be able to read the batch number

I truly hope this was a case of you just receiving a bad set, which seems like it may be the case if since they asked you for the batch number of yours because I will tell you I have absolutely zero issues with being able to hear mine they are great

 

[synthnut]

OK…..My batch number is 23F1….Hopefully this is the issue…Older batch, lower volume….This is what I’m hoping for…You went for hearing aids…This tells me that sadly you have a hearing deficit (not poking fun ….we’re old and it comes with the territory) I too have a hearing deficit…..I’m not sure whose is worse or better or if we even have problems with the same frequencies….The fact that you are hearing yours just fine tells me that looking at our batch numbers that I might still stand a chance….Thanks for your help !…..Jim

Yes OK !!….Our eyes are as good as our ears !!!….”….what did he say ? “….…ya gotta laugh my friend…we’re all in this together !

Yes Sir

here is something I did not mention when I connect my phone to the Lingo's they are very loud if I have my phone at full volume and the Lingo's at full volume and it is the same if I connect them to my Laptop or desktop PC

Avantree has very good customer service, at least they are sending you a new set, which is fantastic, I truly believe if your second pair you receive works like mine does you will be very happy with them

the only downside for me on the Lingo's is every time I want to connect them to my second Legend I have to clear my first Legend in the Lingo's before they will connect to a different Bluetooth capable device, its the same if I have had them connected to one of my Legends and want to connect to my Cell I have to clear the Legend pairing in the Lingo's or they will not connect so they will only connect to one device only at a time

Please keep us all updated when you receive the replacement pair

 

[synthnut]

Ok,
I’ll let you know what happens…Interesting that you have to clear the pairing that was used in a previous device….Life was so much simpler old school….Today it’s connection issues, and some detectors you have to charge the detector, the coil, and your headphones, BESIDES hoping that everything pairs !!…” …the hurrier we go, the behinder we get “

I just bought a Minelab Sovereign GT with a carry bag !!….I miss my old one, but don’t miss the weight !

Love to see that GT when you get it.

 

[synthnut]

I have a first edition Sovereign with the original 8” coinsearch coil ( best Sovereign coil, but not waterproof)
I also have a Sovereign SX 2 Pro kit w/2 coils and original box that is Excellent/Mint
and now my GT coming hopefully tomorrow…I’m loaded for bear !!..

The GT has either a bad V clip on the shaft for mounting, or the female part on the case is bad…..not sure which…hopefully it’s the v clip…either way it’s coming with the original carry bag which I will be using anyway

I recently bought some Aukey B80 ear buds. They paired just fine but I was disappointed the volume was too low. I held down on the plus button and the volume would not increase. It was operator error on my part. Each individual push upped the volume, holding down the button only gave one small increase. After learning this, they worked perfectly with my Legend along with the Vanquish. I have never tried to pair them to my phone. I usually just leave it home.

 

[synthnut]

I did the individual button presses and the volume increased, but at the highest setting it was still not enough…Aventree is sending me a new set as I write this….I’m in hopes that the new set will be louder…..I’ll keep you guys posted

Stupid me……The newer GT doesn’t have a V clip like the older models….One of the ends that is attached to the case holder was snapped off….The guy I bought it from did a quick mod to keep everything together….This thing has the 10 inch Tornado coil, and it’s working just fine !…It’s hitting a 10 inch clad dime no problem…

So Avantree sent me a new set of Lingo’s……One would think that the company would at least send me a set with the batch number 23H1 like the set that old koot has that work fine…..I even sent them an email stating that my friend has a set that works great for him, and they are batch number 23H1…..in hopes that they would send a set from this batch…
What did they send me ?……ANOTHER SET OF 23F1‘s that have the same exact volume as the first set !!! I spelled it out for them, but you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink !!! …….These are just not loud enough and are not working for me….This is my first goaround with bone conduction technology, and perhaps it just doesn’t work for me……I will stick with in ears or headphones for now….I now have 2 sets to return…Oh well !

wow, you would think that they would have made sure they were sending you a pair with good volume after complaining about the first ones, this is the way our world has gone anymore, my set of Lingo's worked great until yesterday then they locked up and I could not turn them off or anything so I am back on the hunt again for something else and back to my Avantree Torus which I have had absolutely no issues with of any kind

I have filed a support ticket with Avantree so hopefully they will get back with me on this matter soon

 

[synthnut]

OK,
Sorry to hear that your Lingo’s are a no go already…I already wrote back to them and told them tha I was sending them both sets of Lingo’s as the just don’t work for me…Too bad…..I really wanted to like them..
