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

Product Information

Most computers these days are Bluetooth enabled. And, being that both of these headsets are Bluetooth, it means they’re able to be used with any computer that’s Bluetooth capable. With that said, the Poly Voyager 5200 comes with a USB Adapter, and because of that, it has some inherent advantages. The Bluetooth mono headset has a wireless range of up to 100m/ 300ft, allowing for more mobility on the go and making sure you have a stable connection. The Talk 65 delivers up to 14 hours of talk time on a single charge, so you can keep communicating, whether you are commuting or going for a shop. Jabra recently came out with a new, on-ear Bluetooth headset that's designed to be used with your computer, and mobile devices. It connects to two devices simultaneously for seamless switching. Jabra has also upgraded its Talk 15 and Talk 25 headsets too, increasing their battery life to seven and nine hours, respectively, and upgrading them to Bluetooth 5.0. So, does this new Jabra Talk 65 provide good voice quality? Well, the short answer is yes, it sure does. The Talk 65 has two noise canceling microphones that work in tandem to give you sound that’s unquestionably professional. And the noise reduction capability is far better than what you typically get from headsets that cost far more than this one does.

Sound quality is subjective for sure, but when I listened, and then relistened to both of these headsets in a quiet room, a room with different noises (office noise, dogs barking, and a loud blender nearby), the Talk 65, to me, just did a better job. Jabra senior vice president Calum MacDougall said “the Jabra Talk 65 Bluetooth Mono headset is a great extension of your phone. Because of the 80% noise cancellation with two-microphone technology and wireless range of 100m/ 300ft, you can use the headset for work and private conversations, no matter where the day takes you. Thanks to its superior comfort and fit, you’ll barely notice it’s there.” The wireless range was surprising as well. Most Bluetooth headsets are designed to provide up to 100 feet of wireless range, with the real range being something less than that. The Jabra Talk 65 gives you up to 300 feet. That’s unusual in Bluetooth headsets, which makes this headset far more versatile over other options.With the launch of Jabra Talk 65, the Danish brand also introduces its upgraded, other products in the Talk range. The Talk 15 now comes with 7 hours of talk time and the Talk 25 has 9 hours of battery life. Both products include Bluetooth® 5.0 for enhanced connectivity. Unlike Jabra’s PanaCast 50 which is an in-room video conferencing tool, or their consumer line of earbuds, the IP54-rated Jabra Talk 65 is a slim-line, mono earpiece for those who want to be always connected and communicating on the go. Both of these headsets come with two microphones that are noise canceling. This is important to know because the microphone quality directly relates to audio quality, which is important to anyone who places value on having a professional sounding call. Still, we tested both of them for how well they sound in a quiet room, and how well they sounded, and reduced noise, in a room with varying sounds such as:

In saying this, I’m not trying to paint the picture that it was day-and-night difference better, but what I am saying is it just sounded better. After hearing them both, you may have a different opinion because as I said, sound quality is very subjective, but that’s my take. Software The Jabra Talk 65, on the other hand, is a newer version of the 5200 that brings with it some enhancements such as longer range. This means that when you reach that point, as all batteries will, you’re required to replace the headset instead of just the battery. And, a headset replacement is more costly than replacing the battery. This is something to be aware of if you have your eye on either of these headsets. Wireless range - is there a difference? So if you want the ability to walk away from the device that you’re connected to, to talk, or just listen, then hands down, the Talk 65 is the way to go. Simply because you get a lot more wireless range. What about connecting to a computer?If you want to use the headset with a computer, and you’d like compatibility with one of the popular UC services like Microsoft Teams, RingCentral or others, then the Poly Voyager 5200 UC would be your best choice because it comes with a USB Adapter for better computer integration. The device features up to 14 hours of talk time so you know you can use it across the entire working day without worry, and it has a 100-metre Bluetooth range and uses USB-C for charging. To begin, as I mentioned, these headsets look pretty much the same. They’re worn over the ear with attached ear gels that insert into the ear. You get different sizes to choose from, so you can find the size that’s most comfortable. We all have different sizes of ears, so having the choice of different sizes is helpful from the standpoint of comfort, and sound. product/helpAdviseTab.hbs -->

If you want as much talk time as possible, then the decision could get a little more difficult. Both give you up to 14 hours of talk time, but they give it to you differently. Jabra gives you a full 14 hours on a single charge, whereas the Poly Voyager 5200 UC gives you 7 hours on the initial charge, and an additional 7 hours when recharged through the portable charging case.In this blog, I’ll be talking about this new headset that Jabra calls the Talk 65. You’ll learn about: The Jabra Talk 65 can be used with computers, and mobile devices. However, because this headset doesn’t come with a USB Adapter, or dongle, it can’t provide you with remote call answering. Also, the computer you connect it to must be Bluetooth enabled. There are advantages in having a USB Adapter that go beyond remote call answering. Hopefully, a future version of this headset will come with one. If you’re someone who wants to take calls using your voice, then the Poly 5200 UC has the edge over the Talk 65 because the Jabra doesn’t have that feature. With that said, the Talk 65 does allow you to access Google Assistant, Siri as well as get GPS directions. Buttons In terms of weight, the Talk 65 weighs a mere 0.7 ounces. That’s about equivalent to 4 sheets of copy paper. In other words, not much. So it’s light enough to wear for short bursts of time, or long stretches.

Jabra Talk 65 Bluetooth Mono Headset. Oustanding noise-cancelling microphones. Engineered for calls on the go. The Jabra Talk 65 gives you a full 14 hours of battery life on a single charge with no charge case required. And while we’re still on the subject of batteries, when the batteries on either of these headsets will no longer take a charge, they can’t be replaced. The Talk 65 comes with different sizes of ear gels which adds to the comfort. Simply select the size that’s most comfortable for you, twist it on, and you’re ready to go. And finally, the overall design of this headset lends itself to comfort. It’s lightweight, well designed, and rests comfortably on the ear.Controls: At the bare minimum, you should be able to accept or reject a call and adjust volume with buttons on the headset itself. The ability to do some of this with the sound of your voice is a nice bonus but not a requirement.
