Review on 💻 Cutting-Edge Convenience: Introducing the Microsoft Modern Wireless Headset by Deandre Vogt

I evaluated several different wireless solutions for use with Teams and settled on the modern MS wireless headset. I tried Jabra Evolve2 65 and Jabra Elite 65t (paired with Jabra Link 380 that comes with Evolve2 65). The MS Modern Wireless Headset works best with Teams (I've only tried it on Windows). I think there must be some kind of tweak because when I was recording rehearsals with the audio recording app outside of Teams, the mic quality wasn't very good. But when invoking Teams, it sounded much better. The MS Modern Wireless Headset shares many of the same features as the Jabra Evolve2 65: USB receiver status indicator, microphone mute, device mute and volume control. The volume wheel on the MS Modern headset is better for me, as opposed to the buttons on the Jabra. The Jabra mic's sound is superb in every way (clarity and noise cancellation). Both microphones are lightweight and should be comfortable for most people in long meetings. But I have a real problem with the Jabra Fit. They don't sit well on my ears and tend to curl up. This causes the mic to touch my face or glasses when I put it down. The Jabra headset also doesn't feel secure on my head, so I hold it up when I move the mic up or down. I haven't had any issues with this, but the Jabra mic feels weak compared to a modern wireless MS headset. The MS headset fits me perfectly, feels light and sits at the perfect angle on my ears. The MS headset also looks a bit more professional if that's important to you. It sits closer to my head than the Jabra and is slightly smaller. The Jabra Evolve2 65 battery lasts longer, but the MS headset easily lasts me 2 days. Jabra has a lot of settings in the Jabra Direct app, while the MS headset doesn't require any setup. The MS headset doesn't have sidetalk like Jabra (where you can hear yourself a little). This is normal for me as the MS headset doesn't completely isolate my hearing for me - the ear cups let through a bit of outside noise so I can hear my own conversation. Also, there is a cost difference. The Jabra Evolve2 65 is more than twice as powerful as current MS wireless headsets. Despite the fit issues, I don't think the Jabra is worth twice the price. I also tried using the Jabra Elite 65t with the Jabra Link 380 that comes with the Evolve2 65. Can I get the officially certified version of Teams 65t that includes the Jabra Link (it seems very, very expensive to me, although I decided to try this setting). The issue I had with the 65t was that I couldn't strike the balance between the hear-through capability and the feel of an earbud when speaking. The Jabra connector can be purchased separately but seems very expensive to me. At the moment, Elite 65t are quite old, they only have 5 hours of battery life and the case is charged via micro USB. However, the 65t's microphones do an excellent job, which was unexpected. The same 65t headphones connected to Bluetooth on Windows had the worst range, sound and mic quality, so the Jabra link helps a lot. One thing to consider is the range. I was able to walk about 30 feet with Jabra (both Evolve2 65 and Elite 65t) before noticing any issues. The MS headphones lose some sound at around 20 feet (through a few walls). I could hear very well, but people on the calls noticed my audio was clipped at such distances. This works for me, but may be a problem for others. If you are looking for a reliable wired headset, I would go with the Jabra Evolve2 30. I found it to offer the best features for the price of a wired headset. , and bought one to use as a backup.
