Jabra Evolve 75e Microsoft Skype Wireless Bluetooth Earbuds (refurb) $30 + FS

Worth it purely for the Jabra 370 USB dongle. This what sets these apart from run of the mill Bluetooth headphones/earbuds.


The dongle alone usually sells for $80.

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.

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.

This. I've been having issues with the mic. Have you found a way to position it such that it does not cut out?

Short answer: No.
Longer answer: No, and people on meetings let me know I cut out all the time. I use these only when I need a break from my normal headset, and then only meetings I don't expect to talk on.
