VOICE DROPS OUT WHEN USING HANDS FREE

I got my Gen 1 glasses a few weeks ago. For context, I am a  rural physician and originally bought them so that I could visually communicate with specialists during an emergency (and still provide hands on care). Unfortunately, when I use the glasses for hands free talking, it keeps dropping my voice. I was doing a dictation at work and when I listened back to it, the voice drop out was significant. At first I thought it might relate to a setting that automatically adjusts for background noise. So I repeated part of the dictation with my colleagues remaining silent. Still dropped out. It happened again when I called into my ER. This is a significant flaw, especially when “hands free” is a key selling point. It’s frustrating enough that these glasses don’t communicate properly with iPhones, especially in my line of work. But to not be able to communicate effectively, is making me advise others against purchasing a pair.

  • There are known connectivity issues with iPhone users since the latest iOS update last week. 

    Do you have an iPhone?

      I do have an iPhone, but this was happening before the update. I want to say 6+ weeks ago and then 2 weeks ago.

        Hmm okay... Yes that's really frustrating when such issues maintain to persist for many months.

        I haven't experienced any micdrops on android (using WhatsApp or phone). Unless I got too far away from the phone during the call or the phone has had temporary no service or the WiFi was laggy....

        I hope Apple will fix these connectivity issues soon. I guess we can't do anything but hope for the best and wait for updates...
