Bluetooth headphones for my mobile phone

I wrote exactly one month ago about receiving a "type C headset" that via a kludge connect to my new mobile phone. Although I was very satisfied with the headphones, the connector has been causing problems in the past few days, so when I was in our local shopping mall yesterday, I thought it prudent to investigate possibilities. I should mention in advance that I don't like in-ear headphones.

At first I was looking for a wired solution, but shortly it occurred to me that if the problem with the previous headphones was the connector, then maybe it would be better to go for a wireless - aka bluetooth - solution. So I bought a pair of the R13 headphones as pictured on the left for 99 NIS (about $23); this seems to be the going price in Israel.

I charged them overnight and this morning set about learning how to use them. First of all, I turned them on. Then I turned on the bluetooth setting on my phone, found the device and paired them. Then, wearing the headphones, I 'dialled' my wife from the phone - I could hear her and she could hear me via the internal microphone. So far so good. Then someone phoned me; wearing the headphones, I gave a short press on the power button - and I could answer the call. Closing the call was similar.

There is even a socket for a TF card on the headphones, so maybe I should buy such a card, fill it with songs and then I can listen to them all day instead of listening to music via headphones connected to the computer that I have to remove when someone calls me.
