Frequently Asked Questions

• Looking at the pictures, it seems that the cable only supports stereo audio and not the mic. Can I place a call while connected to a device with a cable? 
  Hi Fabio. The answer is yes. When you are connected to a device with the audio cable, you can place a call or accept a call. The audio cable feature allows you to listen to music & make calls when your battery runs out or you don’t have a Bluetooth-enabled device. The audio cable turns the BT 220 NC into a hard-wired earphone, so you still can make calls and listen to music. Hope that helps. Brian / WiredForLess.
• There are times when i want to hear sounds around me. with nc off, how are these at allowing sound in (ie apple earpods our bose items)? 
  If you are wanting to hear noises around you there is also a monitor button of which you can click on and it will omit the sounds coming from the earphones so that you can hear the sounds around you.
• Does NC work when the battery is dead but you are plugged into a phone? I’m hoping it can use the power from the device to continue the NC feature. 
  No, the BT 220 NC does not pull off the battery of the device when hard wired. The battery needs to be charged in order to use the NC feature whether connected via Bluetooth or hard-wired with the supplied audio cable. The optional audio cable is provided to allow you to continue listening to your music in the event the battery dies or you want to use a non-Bluetooth device.
• How comfortable are the earbuds, could you sleep with them? 
  As a slightly obsessed audiophile and side-sleeper myself, I can tell you that you want an earbud with a super flat profile for sleeping- and I’ve done more than my share of research into the most comfortable for this purpose! My favourite brand (for most comfortable side-sleeping/lying down) is “Mee Audio,” hands down! AND they start out dirt-cheap at just $14.99 for corded w/out mic for the M6 model to just $29.99 for their entry Bluetooth model M6B. All but one model (that I’ve seen anyway) are also designed with memory wire that “hooks” around the ear to help them stay put- another big plus, especially if you tend to toss and turn at night.
• Why does the unit turn off when I connect the audio cable? 
  My guess is that if it is connected to a device there is no need for amplification, therefore saving battery power. I personally use Bluetooth for a connection to my iPad.
• Can it work with google pixel 2?
  If it is Bluetooth capable then it will work.
• Do they fit underneath a helmet? And how do they behave while driving? 
  I can’t wear mine with a helmet since they stick out a bit, and hurt my ears but while driving they worked great. They drown out all car noise but you still can hear horns or people talking to you
• Is the cord long enough to clip on your belt? How long is it? 
  No. I believe it’s about 18″ long…enough to put in a breast pocket or clip to a collar or jacket. Brian / WiredForLess
• Do the headphones have to be in your ear in order to hear an incoming call? 
  if your phone ringer is on you will hear the call.
• Why doesn’t the green “noise cancelling on” lead go out even though the power is off? 
  Does the noise-cancelling feature have a separate on-off switch have you tried moving the switch back to the opposite side ? Which would be the off feature.
