Jabra Optimized Wireless Headset Softphone Review

Yes, the name is correct. I bought one of these in 2015 and it still works. Since then I have recommended this headset to numerous friends and colleagues and bought another one for my second job. GENERAL: I liked the sound quality and the integration with Microsoft Lync, then Skype for Business and now Teams. RANGE: Unlike Bluetooth headsets, this device allows me to move around the house and far out in the yard. The range is advertised as 300 feet, but in my experience it's closer to 500 feet.

I work at CSR and ordered this headset on the recommendation of a colleague as I was about to move to WFH. I wanted something lightweight, easy to use and reliable.

Also a minor annoyance - I noticed that the microphone picks up wind noise from the air conditioning. This is a DECT softphone headset at a reasonable price. The next level is roughly doubled, and…

BATTERY LIFE - I'm on the phone most of the day. I've been using this headset 3-5 times a week for several hours with no problems for about a month. Many days I've been on the phone for more than 8 hours, although I've probably never held the headset on the charger for more than 5-5.5 (hours) without at least 30 minutes on a break.
