Jabra Talk 65 Mono Bluetooth Headset - Premium Wireless Single Ear Headset - 2 Built-In Noise Cancelling Microphones, Media Streaming, Up to 100 Meters Bluetooth Range - Black

Tried a few different noise cancelling earbud style for phone calls and they were good for me but the other end of the call did not benefit at all. This over the ear unit is excellent for canceling out background noise for the person you are calling. Great for airports, conference calls, or any time you are moving from one area to another. Bluetooth can connect to multiple devices so I use it on my phone or on my PC for Teams calls.

I finally found the one simple, lightweight, super long battery life, comfortable, quality, excellent price mono Bluetooth 5.1 earpiece for voice only!!! The Jabra Talk 65! Don’t buy any other brand than Jabra. You can use this all day long and not even know that you have it on. Voice mic and listening speaker in your ear are crystal clear as well!!! Thank you Jabra. 😀

I’ve been waiting for years for someone to come out with a true competitor to the Poly Voyager 5200. I’ve gone through at least 3 5200s over the years and got sick of them breaking and also having connection issues with the iPhone.VOICE QUALITY: Excellent. I’ve been told my voice sounds perfect and the noise cancellation to the caller works well.SOUND QUALITY: Very Good. This headset doesn’t provide ANC so if there is background noise, you may have trouble hearing your caller (even though they will hear you fine). This isn’t really a flaw as these types of headsets just sit outside your ear canal, but if you are expecting the superior ANC from other Jabra headsets, you won’t find that here.SETTINGS AND FIRMWARE UPDATING: These are not the features you are looking for, move on. Seriously, this is a minimalist headset. No settings, no configuration, no firmware updating. I’m a bit concerned about this, especially since I’ve had a few calls where I had to call someone back because there was some slight distortion on the call (it sounded like Bluetooth interference). (-1 Star). If I continue to have those types of issues, seeing that there is no way to fix them via firmware, I will have no choice but to return the product or make a warranty claim.UC / PAIRING with a laptop: I also tried pairing this headset with my laptop as well and even though it isn’t officially supported, the audio and microphone worked fine with Teams and Zoom.PROXIMITY SENSOR/AUTO ANSWER: None. Again, this is a highly functional minimalist headset. Unlike the Voyager, this headset will not recognize if you are wearing the headset or not and therefore has no auto switching capability. There is also no auto/voice answer option.PROTECTIVE CHARGING CASE: Nope. You are on your own. Based on the advertised battery life, you don’t need a charging case, but I’m a little worried about what is going to happen to this headset in my pocket. Seeing how I destroyed a few Voyagers (and those had cases), I can only imagine what might happen to this Jabra Talk 65.OVERALL: For the price, this is a great deal and since the Voyager 5200 hasn’t been updated in years, it’s nice to have an alternative. The sound quality is excellent and for professional settings, this will probably be my main headset for awhile. I can learn to live without the proximity sensor (which always seemed to fail anyway), but I’m a little nervous about not being able to update the firmware, should there be issues in the near future.

I moved to this headset after Plantronics ruined the Voyager 5200 (making me sound like I was constantly underwater, a known issue). It was great at first:- Battery life is fantastic, seemingly much longer than the Voyager- Range is exceptional, I've mistakenly left my phone in one room and walked ~30 feet away before realizing that I didn't have my phone on me- Audio quality is great and folks hear me really well, great background noise cancellationBut there are quirks and annoyances that have made it insufferable:- Firstly, it's the one Jabra headset that is not supported by their app, so none of the settings can be changed- If you have it connected to more than one device (e.g., iPad and iPhone), it CONSTANTLY says "headset connected" while you're on a call - the only workaround that I have found is to turn bluetooth off on all of the other devices that I normally use it- It has started to mute itself while I'm in the middle of the call and the only way to unmute is by turning it off and back on- It also doesn't say what my remaining talk time / battery life is, the way the Voyager did, so you have no idea if you're good to go for the day or if it's going to cut out in the middle of a call- Lastly, the volume is exceptionally low, to the point that it can be difficult to hear people if you're not in a quiet room (and if I was always in a quiet room, I wouldn't need this headset)Annoyingly, these issues came up a few months after I purchased, so I'm outside of the return window. I cannot understand why it is so difficult to make a noise cancelling headset that actually works - it seems like the only option are ear pods, but they have horrible audio quality and zero noise cancelling.

The good: sound quality is decent, noise cancellation seems to work (people don't complain when I'm using it for talk), and battery life is good. The bad: no mute button, and the volume doesn't go loud enough IMO. But the very the worst part is that the on/off LED is in the on/off button itself. So the every time you try to turn it on or off, you're covering up the very thing that tells you if it's on or off. Absolutely horrible design.
