talk 65 headset

In this episode you'll learn about these two, near identical Bluetooth headsets, and how they're similar, and what features differentiates them.

You'll find out how much talk time you can expect, as well as how much wireless talk range, as well as how they sound, how much noise they reduce, and of course, how much they cost. So make sure to listen so you get all the details, and I have to say, some of what you'll hear might just surprise you, just like I was surprised.

In most cases, when you compare headsets, there's always a difference. The differences can be glaring, or they can be less so. But in about all cases, you'd never think that the two were the same because they either look much different, or they have a lot of technical differences.

In today's episode, I'll be talking about two Bluetooth headsets that could  just about pass as twins. That is, if headsets could indeed be classified that way. But if so, these two come about as close as possible to being the same.  I'm referring to:

• The Jabra Talk 65 Bluetooth on-ear wireless headset, and
• The BlueParrott M300-XT Bluetooth on-ear wireless headset

These headsets share a number of features that make them more alike than different, and in this episode I'll provide you with the details. So, let's get started!

Right out of the gate, placing these headsets side-by-side makes it hard to tell one from  the other. They pretty much look the same. And, they weigh the same too at 0.7 ounces.

But, the similarities don't stop there because besides the physical similarities, and weight, they also give you the exact same amount of talk time at 14 hours. Besides that being coincidental, it's also impressive. There's not a lot of space to squeeze in a battery that's capable of pouring out that much power, but both do. Most on-ear Bluetooth headsets will give you far less talk time, typically in the 7 hour range. So, with that in mind, you can appreciate this.

Even the wireless range is the same at 300 feet. Again, this is impressive because most Bluetooth headsets are rated up to 100 feet, with some giving you even  less. So, for both of these headsets to give you that much talk range, it's pretty amazing really.

The Talk 65 can't be used with the Jabra Plus software for firmware updates, and other customizations, but that isn't the case with the BlueParrott M300-XT. In this way, these headsets are different. You can use the BlueParrott with the available software for customization and firmware updates.

The BlueParrott M300-XT also has a PTT (push to talk) feature included that allows you to communicate with colleagues at the press of a button, without the need to access the phone manually. You won't find this on the Talk 65.

Sound quality edge, in my view, goes to the Talk 65. Both sound good, and reduce noise well, but to my ear, the Talk 65 sounded a little better especially when background noise was present.

Both headsets are professional, and both come with a 1-year warranty, and they both cost the same too at $99.99.

In this episode, you'll learn about these two professional grade on-ear Bluetooth headsets, and the things they have in common, as well as how they differ. I'll  give you my thoughts on  which one I  prefer, and why.

A lot of people today are doing business on the go. This could be a Real Estate  or Sales professional, or a Truck  Driver. Whatever it is that has you out of the office, and connected to your company and customers, one thing is for sure, you need to be hands free, and preferrably,  wire free.

In this episode, I'll be discussing and comparing two very similar on-ear Bluetooth wireless headsets from the top two business headset companies in the world;  Poly (formerly Plantronics), and Jabra. These companies represent number one and number two largest providers of headsets for working professionals.

The two products I'll showcase here are:

• The Poly Voyager 5200 Bluetooth wireless headset
• The Jabra Talk 65 Bluetooth wireless headset

When you place these headsets next to each other, they look very much the same, in fact, they not only look pretty much the same, but they weigh the same too.

Looks, and weight aside, there are some notable  differences that are important to know about if either of these headsets are being considered.

Starting with battery life.

The Poly Voyager 5200 gives you 7 hours of battery life, whereas the Jabra Talk 65 gives you 14 hours. If you're someone who's on the phone a lot, then having twice the battery life can really make  a difference. And while on the subject of batteries, it's important to note that both of these batteries cannot be replaced once it no longer holds a charge. All batteries can only be recharged so many times before they will no longer hold one. And once that happens, as it does with all headset batteries, the headset will need to be replaced. Something to keep in mind so that you're not caught off guard when this happens.

In terms of wireless talk  range, the Jabra Talk 65 has the edge over the Voyager 5200 as well. The Poly Voyager 5200 gives you up to 98 feet of wireless talk  range, whereas the Jabra Talk 65 is rated up to 300 feet. So, the Jabra gives you twice the talk  time, and three times the wireless range.

We also ran both of these headsets through some challenging sound tests that included voice audio quality, background noises such as office sounds, dogs barking, and of course, our Vitamix blender test.  Both of these headsets did a good job, but in my view, the Jabra sounded just a bit better, and also removed more of the background noise.

Now in all  fairness, the Poly Voyager 5200 is an aging product, and the Jabra Talk 65 is new. And because the Talk 65 is new, it has the advantage of being able to take advantage of newer technologies.  So even though the Voyager 5200 is lagging behind in this comparison, the generational  differences need to be kept in mind.

Also, the 5200 can be used with the Poly Lens software for updating firmware, and making headset customizations. The Talk  65 isn't compatible with the Jabra plus software at this time.

Both are very good headsets for sure, but I think in this comparison,  if talk  time, range, and sound  quality are  important, I feel the Talk 65 has the edge over the Voyager 5200.
