Best Noise Cancelling Headset/Mic For Calls & Work? | Jabra vs. Plantronics

[@debbiefeuerborn9218]

Great review. I got the Jabra 65 and it works great. A few thoughts for folks researching and considering the premium and my recommendation of why I'd pay the extra if you can afford it - not for you, but for whom ever you are communicating with... My rational is for those that need more than a good headset, but that need a good microphone is you are going to be doing as much talking as listening. The reason is because of the technology built into the noise cancelation feature of your microphone. You can only assess easily the functioning of the noise cancellation of the headset which is great. Whomever you are talking to is the only one that can really effectively assess the value of that same feature within the microphone. Due to Covid I just finished spending 9-10 hours a day working from home on video and audio calls all day long back to back. My biggest pet peeve after 5 months is that folks have not figured out how to optimize their audio coming from their microphone. These headsets solve for that - Jabra better than most. I've started doing sound checks at the beginning of calls to ensure my setup is working as well as to prompt others to ask and give them feedback when theirs isn't. I give it a letter grade from A = I hear you perfectly like you are standing right next to me AND nobody else is in the room making noise. B = I hear you ok, but I can also hear background noise. C = I can hear you, but the echoes or background noise makes it hard to focus on what you are saying. D = REALLY Struggling to follow. F = I'm hanging up now! There are a ton of folks in the work from home situation that have background noise - others in the household, barking dogs, traffic going by the house. Technology really has solved for this with the noise cancellation features built into the microphone. If you are on a lot of calls and trying to communicate and that communication is important I really suggest making the investment if you can afford it. You might not directly notice it since you don't hear what you say, but those that you are trying to communicate with are the ones that will truly appreciate it. Just thought that add might be helpful to the great video demonstration of it. If you can't visualize and hear it in this video - try a few others that really focus on the Microphone function - Jabra's videos in particular are really good at letting you hear it before you make the big purchase since that is one of their differentiators. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qHyqoId_m56Ijac is another quick short one to illustrate the point.

[@TheHUhelps]

Thanks for the great review! The Plantronics Voyager Focus has been for the last few years my go to headset. It does have a big flaw though and that is that the black plastic headband cracks, or even breaks between a year or two of use.This is a known problem and has happened to me on three different sets.The only reason I keep ordering a new one is that they're the only headset that I know of that does what I need and I've tried many headsets. Call quality, comfort, sound, and noise cancelling are very important to me and the Voyager Focus does all these really well. It's just too bad that they're so fragile. I think I'll give the Jabra Evolve 75 a try.

[@froggyjosh]

Thanks for your comments. Do you know if any of the cheaper Plantronics headsets are any good? I'm looking for more budget-friendly headset for a handful of business call each week

[@TheHUhelps]

[@hanushajay4350]

Your prob the only one who did the mic test.. awesome job.. Thank you

[@UserCommenter]

Thank you for this! I'm currently testing a bunch of microphones on various devices and am looking for as many mic recordings as I can find. On that note, I think it would be helpful if you recorded the same phrase on each mic'd device that you're testing. Some of the "Harvard sentences" would work (e.g. "The ripe taste of cheese improves with age."). It would be nice to hear them one after the other without anything else in between. In fact, an even shorter sentence might be best for that: "Please subscribe" "Please subscribe" "Please subscribe" and so on. Price and feature data are generally available at retailers, so useful and consistent real world tests are uniquely helpful. Finally: to see how far we've come over the years, it would be neat if you recorded the same test sentence with and without the same background noise (a certain song/recording playing over a certain speaker at a certain distance in the same room) so that in a few years you could release a recording of a hundred different mics/headsets and show the evolution of different products. Thanks again friend! Great stuff!

[@Techtrovert]

Those are all great ideas! So glad to have you here usher, and I’ll definitely use those tips for the future! See ya around.

[@edwardwongks]

Nice video. Quick tip: if you're standing while presenting, don't sway around so much, could make the viewer feel dizzy and irritated watching you move around the screen. Get a high chair or just stand in place. Hand gestures are OK but also don't overdo it. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing more videos from you

[@Techtrovert]

Great point! I had been working on things like this in my last videos, although I don't know the next time i'll be posting on here just yet. Either way, I'll make sure to update this channel with my new plans, wherever, and whenever I move to another/stay at this one. Hope to see you there!👍

[@bcptbcpt]

My thoughts exactly. It is meant as constructive criticism, because you seem to be ambitious, speaking to corporations and professionals, so I would also suggest a slightly better presentation. Don't fly in/out of the screen as much, don't clap your hands or gesture that much, seems a bit goofy sometimes, don't pick your nose, etc. I think it shows you're excited and having fun with the process, but it is distracting and not as professional as you seem to be aiming at. Keep up the good work!

[@Techtrovert]

@@bcptbcpt Yup! That's also another reason as I'm considering other options. I do feel a little confined in this tech industry and am looking into other areas where I could have a little more fun while keeping entertaining videos. I'm not sure whether I plan to finalize on either education or entertainment, but definitely want to try both out! Thanks for the help again!

[@Theprojectmayhemshow]

hi i was thinking of using my airpods pro for sales calls but i recently found out that they emit 3500 emf that are bad for us. Does these headset emit emf, are these headset that you're recommending consider safe?

[@Techtrovert]

I'm not fully sure about the EMF produced my these headsets, but from what I've researched on this interesting point to be brought up, is you google "is Bluetooth radiation," there's many articles on how Bluetooth headsets and earbuds like airpods don't emit nearly as much EMF as something like you phone would, as as far as temperature goes, these headsets' internal electronics don't overheat. Hope this helps! Thanks for the interesting question and POV!

The lav mic sounds great how do you get such a great sound with it? Do you connect it with 3.5mm to computer?

[@SebastianRamirezH]

great review! I have heard that plantronics voyager focus lets you mic the mute moving up the mic as the jabra. Is that correct?

are you able to use both without bluetooth turned on and plug the headset in instead? thanks!!

[@AbsurdExistentialist]

I recently started working from home and my neighbors can be terribly loud, playing extremely loud music in the middle of the day, and also late at night. Does Jabra cancel out loud noise? Really loud neighbors, or barking dogs?

[@leomind]

Excellent review, I'd be glad to see more tests of background noise canceling when the noise is really NOISY! Children crying, coffee machines, traffic, cars hornets, or other people talking at the same desk. Is there such a review on youtube?

[@Techtrovert]

Thanks for the tips, that's a really good point! I'm not personally sure of any reviews, I'd try search for specific reviews of each headset if you'd like more of those tests. Either way, I'll make sure to be adding those tests in the next one!

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

We review all of the most popular headsets and include mic tests. We have music in the background and even a loud blender. Decibel reader is there on a lot of videos as well.

[@steveokocha9860]

Nice review. I am also confused in which one to get. I love powerful sound, nice cancelling and comfort. which do you suggest. ?

[@Techtrovert]

I would suggest the Jabra headset then, as it does have slightly better noise cancelling in my opinion, and may be a little more comfortable to wear depending on the user. They both have pretty good sound compared to each-other at least, so if you're willing to pay for the Jabra's, I'd say go for it!

[@steveokocha9860]

Thanks alot.

[@Techtrovert]

No problem!

[@AjentIvVii]

Techtrovert, I would really appreciate if you could suggest a wired (not the bluetooth one) Headset which has noise cancelling and supports on mac os. Just a side note: I have had a plantronics one given by office which worked great on pc but the mic never supported mac os - I really liked that one as the other participants on the other end of the call could hear no noise when we used to be on a conference call. TIA.

[@Techtrovert]

I'm sorry! I wouldn't be the first person you should probably ask about the phone-call headset industry. These two are the only ones I have on hand, and would suggest checking out some other videos on 'wired ANC headset for mac.' That's the best I can do, as I don't have an expert's opinion on this! Hope I could point you in the right direction!

Hey, I want to know about the sweating in ear problem. Which is better to choose?

[@Techtrovert]

As far as that specific issue in your ears getting uncomfortable, they are both pretty comfortable to wear, maybe the Jabra has a bit more padding, but otherwise I'd pick based on the features, and more specifically which amount of money you'd like to spend.

[@notasexcult1715]

So basically any mic that has built-in noise-filter will get rid of all the bass frequencies in the voice? (tin can sound) I'm having problems with my mic, but my problem is different: when I plug it into my Android phone, my voice sounds pristine clean. But on the laptop there's always this buzzing noise, and when I filter the noise my voice loses all character, it sounds thin (and still doesn't eliminate all the buzzing)

[@Techtrovert]

(I assumed you're talking about one of the headsets in this video) Maybe you should try plugging the headset into a different port on your laptop, try restarting it, or if none of that works, see if you still have the same issues on another computer. That's the best basic troubleshooting advice I can give, otherwise, you could just try doing calls on your phone instead, or you may just have to google that one, sorry!

You can check the test that I did in the video (roughly the 2nd half of it), where I tested the mics with moderately loud noise a few feet from the mic and can hear how it sounds to you.
