Really simple – USB C dongle in PC, shows up straight away in Teams. Comfortable to wear, easy to charge (again USB C) and decent sound quality. I would have liked somewhere to store the dongle on the headset, but not a big deal.
Best feature – red mute light on the end of the mic boom. If you have used the mute on the side of the headset, you can see on your camera image when you are on mute. Worst – I think when you hit mute/unmute, everyone in the meeting hears ‘mute on’ or ‘mute off’ being spoken by the headset’s disembodied voice!
Really good headphones, people can hear me, the sound is very good and controllable through the PC or the headphones. The mute on/off doesn’t seem to work but the power on/off is good for pausing media players.
Only issue is that a few months ago I noticed one arm was cracked, I thought it had been accidentally banged at some point. Then I’ve progressively found the plastic on the arms has been failing. On both arms. So it seems to be an issue with that.
I’ve had them for 2 years so good use out of them but I’d still expect a bit longer.
Brought this product a while back. I am a Car Recovery driver, it works so well, the noise feedback the other end is almost nothing, people think I am at home when I am outside working.!! Crystal clear with a very good battery life and very nice sound. Very pleased and people have asked where I got these from too
Very pleased with this recent purchase. The headset is comfortable, well made, and delivers good quality sound. It is extremely easy to pair with the wireless dongle and works well as a wired headset too. – Some small niggles where the mute button on Teams conferencing would only respond to the button on the earpiece, but not so problematic that it alters my review. – Definitely worth a look if you are considering making a purchase!
Had these now for a couple of days. Generally I’ve been happy and impressed with the sound quality and comfort. A colleague of mine has also commented on how my background noise and chatter from surrounding team members has greatly reduced compared to my last headset. I’ve not got anything to compare against in the price range from a personal perspective, but would happily buy these again. A couple of caveats to be aware of which may not be a big deal to you, firstly the supplied Bluetooth dongle is quite wide. If you have two usb-c ports side by side on your laptop or dock, then chances are that the adaptor will render the second port inaccessible. I’ve had to get round this by plugging the dongle into my dock rather than laptop, but as i’m hot desking , thus guaranteed to forget it one day whilst packing up, i’ve also now bought a right angled male to female usb adaptor so i can connect it in to my spare laptop usb-c port. Obviously you can connect the device straight to your laptops Bluetooth connection , but if you aren’t tech savvy and just like the plug an play aspect of the dongle, or like in my case your I.T. department lock down Bluetooth connections and you have to jump through hoops to get them opened, then this may be a consideration. Secondly, for Teams users, you can’t use the Mute button in the Teams app to mute your voice, you have to use the physical button on the ear piece of the device (it’s quite big and easy to do). This is weird as what it actually does is a soft Mute in the app when you press it, not a hardware Mute. The other knock on affect of this is that if you are on a team call with multiple participants and the admin wants to Mute you without your permission, they can’t. There is also annoying ‘mute’ , ‘un mute’ voice in your ear every time you click. I’ve not had it long enough to comment on battery life as of yet, so may come back and update the review later.
My previous headphones kept dropping off and the boom broke. I need a headset for work as remote working. I didn’t want to spend a fortune but wanted something that was comfortable, good sound and you can use via bluetooth at a distance. These fit the bill, cost effective, good noise cancelling, great sound, sturdy mic boom, easy to set up and use and you can use them at quite a distance away from your PC. So far, really happy with them
Quite impressed with the build quality of these. They are solid and very impressive. Unfortunately, my work laptop has Bluetooth restrictions and both myself and my IT dept couldn’t get them to work, but IT confirmed this was due to settings on laptop that couldn’t be fixed. Not the fault of the headset.
I have quite a large head (not Mekon standard but above average) so far east headphones can be tight and uncomfortable. This headset fits quite well. The padding on the head bar doesn’t cause any pressure sores, the ear padding is also comfortable after a long day on calls. On a hot day, ears aren’t all sweaty either.
The downside for me is the earpieces seal onto the ear too well. When speaking you get that ‘underwater’ feeling when you can’t hear your own voice. I like the audio feedback so I don’t shout or sound nasal when speaking. Some apps will allow a feedback setting which is OK but not ideal for me. That lost them a star in my rating.
Audio volume and quality is good. They won’t replace your Dr Dre’s or Skullcandies but for audiobooks and general listening they are quite sharp and clear.
Battery life is very good. On calls all day drain is about 60%. Full charge on USB 3.0 in about 3 hours. Over time, battery life will reduce depending on the quality of the fitted battery.
Bluetooth connectivity is dead easy and range is good. They do support 2 devices but how to get the second device to work without disconnecting the first is a mystery.
The mute/answer/end call button travels a long way. A surface button would be a lot better but it works and for the price, I can’t really complain.
As an all day calls professional workshorse, Jabra is the brand, price is the downside. For intermittent use plus Twitter spaces and Teams, this headset is good value and performs well.
Nice mic boom.
Comfy for mid term use but slightly overtight for all day use, leaving ears feeling a little squished
Sound quality is very good for meetings and music but slightly over boomy on bass.
They present an agile and detailed sound with music, certainly not tiresome but the bass might be slightly too aggressive for some. Not noticeable on voice calls though (diff Freq).
Mute light on mic boom almost impossible to see (maybe my eye sight) but love the mute button the headset rather than using Teams or handset. Nice touch. However button is mechanical and has got stuck on mute a couple of times (just press in centre to release properly).
Range is very good. I can still get signal all round my house outside with laptop in lounge. Approx 15m max as stated in manual.
Switching between connections not always mooth but not sure if that’s Teams or Bluetooth adaptor. Sadly the set doesn’t come with a usb adaptor so need to buy one too (about 10 for a decent one v5.0).
Quick charge times and good accessories.
Batt life so far is brilliant – a charge per week being more than enough and I am a mid to heavy user – maybe 5 hrs per day for meetings.
The price is unreal at just over 49 compared to rivals at 3 or 4x price. Very pleased.
Brilliant, use for working from home and god I love wireless so much, the mute button is great and soo handy too, super loud and so comfy for those long days and the mic is brilliant too. Noise cancelling is also good and great battery life, I do 9hour shifts and usually lasts round 3 days with ease, doesn’t take long the charge!
