Jabra Evolve 40 Professional Wired Headset, Stereo, UC-Optimized – Telephone Headset for Greater Productivity, Superior Sound for Calls and Music, 3.5mm Jack/USB Connection, All-Day Comfort Design

When I use this, no one will suspect that I work from home. I can participate in online meetings and phone conferences using my cell phone and a USB connection. My baby daughter makes a lot of noise, but no one can hear her because the door is closed.

While the headset fits well for a low-cost design, there are a few issues to be aware of.
1. Because the dongle is quite heavy, it pulls on one ear. It was a lot lighter on my previous model.
2. Buttons aren't as tactile as they were on my last Jabra. You must physically look at the buttons each time you press them, or you risk pressing the incorrect one.
3. You can only move the microphone up and down; it cannot be bent away from your face.
4. It's difficult to see the mute light. The mute on/off beep is the opposite of the light on/off beep. Light but an "off" beep when mute is turned on. When you can't see the light well, it takes some getting used to. But, since the buttons aren't tactile, you'll just be staring at it. br>br>On the plus side: br>1. Although the noise cancellation appears to be fairly effective, it still picks up computer noises.
2. I find that simply placing the microphone lower by your chin solves the problem of hearing breathing. My previous Jabra had a foam cover on the mic that made breathing easier, but this one appears to be fine. br>3. After a week of use, I can say that the wire is of higher quality than my previous Jabra. That's pretty much the only thing that could be done to make things better. The failure of the wire after three years of use was the main reason I had to look for a new headset.

Before purchasing a headset for use with Zoom calls, I did a lot of research. Multiple sources, including the NY Times Wirecutter, gave this Jabra Evolve 40 UC high marks, and they've never led me astray before. This product seemed a little pricey at around $100, but I'm on Zoom calls all day for work at home, so it was well worth the money. I heard static noise as soon as I unpacked the headset, plugged it in, and made a phone call; I double-checked to make sure the 3. The 5 mm jack was fully inserted, and the noise changed or disappeared when I moved the wire attached to the jack. There appears to be a flaw in the way the wire connects to the 3. Please see the attached image for a 5 mm jack. Is Jabra testing these at the factory, in addition to this defect right out of the box (poor quality control in my opinion)? ), the headset as a whole has a low-quality, 'cheap' vibe to it. We've all had a lot of electronic gadgets and accessories in this technological age. This Jabra Evolve 40 UC feels cheap to me; it doesn't have the look or feel of a high-end electronic device, and I can't tell the difference between this $103 item and the Samsung earbuds that came with my S10 smartphone when it comes to call quality. For Zoom calls, I'll have to rethink how to use a headset.

This product would be amazing if it were reliable, but an 80% failure rate in the first two years is horrendous. These have clearly been designed or manufactured with a fatal flaw. It's not just one bad batch because I bought five of these over the course of about six months. Otherwise, the headphone is quite nice, and having a separate USB adapter from which you can unplug the headphone and plug it into your phone is a great feature. The sound quality and comfort are excellent, and it picks up very little background noise; however, there's no point in buying them if they keep failing, and the failures occurred on multiple PCs, indicating that it's not just one PC with a rogue USB port that's zapping them. UPDATED IN THE YEAR 2021- The 5th of 5 USB adapters has just died, so it now has 100% failure rate of 100% failure rate of 100% failure rate of 100% failure rate of 100% failure rate It's abhorrent. But I did come across a $12 bill. I bought a 99 USB adapter from KOOPAO on Amazon in the hopes of still being able to use the headphones.

Requirements for Home Sales This is fantastic. Even better value for the money. br>br>I do At- The majority of home sales are conducted outside - a porch with screened windows all the way down to the ground - As a result, my main concern was the noise canceling microphone. It is without flaw. Cars, noisy golf carts, garbage trucks, and other vehicles drive past me all the time from 25 feet away, and no one ever notices. br>br>Audio quality was not an issue for me, but it is excellent for phone calls. I almost exclusively use the USB connection for Skype calls, and I'm happy with it. The audio quality was also fine when I used the headset with my phone, and any problems I had were due to an older cell phone model and/or a poor wireless connection, not the headset. br>br>I couldn't give it five stars because of two minor issues. (1) The wires are extremely stiff and unyielding. It can be difficult to get the volume/mute buttons exactly where you want them on a desk or table, and the wires don't always adjust well to small head and body movements. Reaching for a paper and having the volume control fall to the floor is inconvenient. (2) The adjustable microphone is a little sloppy and could be more secure. It's not a major issue; it's just a minor annoyance from time to time. br>br>Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase.
