Hi Steve
To be honest, I am torn between these and the sony headphones however due to my 
negative experience the app, it put me off. I may well get these after all as 
they are reasonably priced and my plantronics are of their way out

Hi,

I don't think these headphones are designed for that, they are more designed
for music/hi-fi quality.  With that in mind, they blow Plantronics away.

All the best

Steve

Hi Steve
Thank you very much for your email. I had asked this question on Amazon as
well, apparently someone has tested this and they use the headset profile so
call quality is on a par with my Plantronics headphones, that is to say
phone call quality rather than HD. This means I will not be buying these
headphones as I want something with high definition as I plan to use them
with services like Aira and Be My Eyes Skype, Zoom et cetera.
Thanks anyway and take care.

Hi Ibrahim,

I haven't taken calls with it, but it supports HFP V1.6, which is High 
Frequency Profile.  It is Bluetooth 4.2 with AAC.

You can get the specs here:-

Hi everyone
Can anyone comment as to the sound quality when making and receiving 
calls on these headphones? Do they use the headset profile or do they 
support high definition calling with apps such as Skype, Zoom et cetera?
Thank you.
