I have these, two pair for some reason. They are worth buying if you're using them for work.

However, there's two issues which help explain why you can get them so cheap. Bluetooth range is about 20-25 feet, max. These have the shortest range of any Bluetooth headset I've ever tried.

You have to be careful about where the mic is positioned on your shirt, because the slightest movement will set it off, and it's rustle rustle rustle. I've had to stop using them for most meetings because people tell me they can't hear me, there's interference, etc.

So- buy them! This price is amazing. But I'm not happy with their performance, and I've used a lot of corded headsets from Jabra.

Worth it purely for the Jabra 370 USB dongle. This what sets these apart from run of the mill Bluetooth headphones/earbuds. This dongle is like a USB sound card or audio adapter - it takes over the audio controls in windows 10 and headphones pair with the dongle, not with the onboard Bluetooth on your PC. Windows 10 and conference calls apps don't always play nice with paired bt headphones for microphone control.
I have the true wireless 65 evolve MS with the dongle and the call quality on teams and zoom are so much better than other bt buds. I had tried some Anker brand, but getting those conferencing apps to regocnize and not have windows take control of audio is far better.
When I first researched the MS and uc certified at the beginning of wfh for covid, I was skeptical they were better for price (65t evolve Ms was $299 back in April/May) but they are.
The dongle alone usually sells for $80.

The ANC feels non existent. However, I still think it's a nice product. I paid $40.

The link is showing $40. Is there a code to bring the price down to $30?

This was a limited time deal that is over now. It's popped up a few times now though so guessing it'll be back before long.

How does this compare to jabra elite active 45e? I ordered the 45e elite active ones for the same price on another deal. I don't know much about wireless headphones, and need them for calls while walking and listening to audio books.

Got these from previous post, been wearing them all day for work for a week and I love them. If you use a cell phone and computer at the same time for music and calls, just try them. Put the app on the computer and update firmware for the headset and the dongle. They have loads of nice little features you can toggle.

I think the only negative is that there's so many little features it can be kind of confusing. The multi-function button has a few too many functions depending on context. In some scenerios, instead of pausing music it just makes the music sound thin and distant in preparation for a call. I realized today that the dongle lights up different colors depending on my Teams call status. I love the little light that indicates to people walking up that I'm on a call, and the hear-thru option for when I do want to talk. Music sounds way better than I expected.

At this price I'll order another pair as a backup or a gift.

Any suggestions for a wired USB headset that is Skype/VOIP/Windows 10 corporate work friendly?

Budget under $100 just need something tried and true, maybe 2-3 hours a day usage.
