Hi! I have razer x barracuda wireless, it works fine but after 2 months the usb dongle (type c) starting to fail and right after my soundcard can't detect anything from razer, so yeah now my headphones is useless for almost 3 months.. do you think its a dongle problem?? If it is a dongle problem, can you recommend exact product that will work on my brand.. headphones is working fine coz i tested it with wire connector, please help coz I really want to use the wireless connection again..

[@nareshnundlall1557]

i am a jabra e65 user - i can still answer calls via the headset - the functions that i lost is multiple connectivity and updates - is there a way around this without the dongle

[@NeoteriX]

It would be great for you all to test and show evidence for whether Bluetooth audio latency is improved by connecting with the dongle versus connecting with a computer's standard Bluetooth stack.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Great idea!

I have a Razer barracuda x and after I lost the dongle I can't play audio while recording audio at the same time so I have no longer a purpose for it aside from listening to music or just playing without recording.

[@GramercyForMinky]

So many companies making it nearly impossible to recover a lost dongle. It’s not even an option on most websites where we buy them from’ leaving us to buy another headset entirely. Going wireless is cool and all. But I’d like to give my money to a company that isn’t going to screw me over.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

That's good feedback for the manufacturers to read.

[@guptaranju]

Thank you for this video.. I was exactly looking for this... Question : i have lost my USB adapter for Jabra Evolve2 75... And i do not find that in your website either.. is there a place i can buy it ?

[@samuelcolon2120]

I work for at a call site and we are not allowed to have Bluetooth connected headsets. If the headset has a dongle does that still count as a Bluetooth connection or is it as it was directly connected to the PC?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

The headset communicates to the Dongle via Bluetooth and there's no Bluetooth pairing you connect with the computer, so it should work.

[@xxxxxGhostBoyxxxxx]

I lost mine together with the case. Now I'm in dilemma whether to replace or not. In my experience, the sound more pale, Teams stay in HSP mode and made the sound mono. My experience connecting the headset directly with laptop's bluetooth works better than Link380 I did not use it that much. But i feel sad losing mine regardless and it costs like MYR600 / USD130 in Malaysia for a replacement 🥲

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Sounds like using the headset without the dongle works, so maybe stick with that for now?

[@leadelixer5593]

Yes same here i broke my adapter on accident its 130 usd and thats expensive to be honest and my pc doesn’t have bluetooth so what if i bought a 5.0 bluetooth dongle from amazon instead of the link380?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

@@leadelixer5593 Agreed that's a bit pricey. We haven't tested any generic USB Dongle so unfortunately we don't know if or how well it would work.

[@vivek7815]

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

You're welcome!

[@mollari2261]

Thanks so much for posting this. As I was researching headsets I was puzzled how Bluetooth devices "need" their included USB dongles. (There are BT keyboards that do this too, BTW. Now those make more sense, too!)

Hi, Thanks for your video. Just wondering if you can help me. I have a Samsung Galaxy tablet S8, which doesn't have a port for accepting a dongle anyway. It doesn't even have a 3.5mm headphone jack. It does have Bluetooth. So, what I would like to know is this: I need to use my S8 tablet for teaching on Zoom calls. Do you know if there is any headset out there which will work wirelessly for headphones & microphone? I just need them both to work simultaneously while sitting at my desk- no need for a big range. Would appreciate any advice. Thanks, James

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Just about any Bluetooth headset will work just fine for this application will just depend how you want to wear it or not. For example Discover Boomstick wireless would work great for this application just pair it directly via Bluetooth to your tablet.

[@oxfordmedicalsummaries]

What about the situation where the computer does not allow you to install software like most companies? If you have the USB dongle and headset, but are NOT allowed to install any new software to sync everything together, would the setup still work? Thanks btw! Cant believe theres a channel dedicated to just this, very useful!

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

If you order a model with the USB Dongle included, the headset is pre-paired so no need to download the software. Feel free to contact us and we can point you in the right direction (out of office until January 2nd, just heads up) headsetadvisor.com/pages/contact-us

i have a nubwo g06 so which one should i buy?

[@TheMr1Boy321]

Does it impact performance when I connect the dongle from my Jabra/Poly to a dock which is connected to my laptop instead of directly connecting it?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

You should expect the same quality, but USB hubs can cause issues with audio devices for some reason. So, if you're running into any issues, connect directly and see if there's any difference.

I bought a console wireless headset from pdp gaming a couple o years ago, just broke the donlge, the replacement dongle costs 15$ but they ship to Usa only and im in france… so, as i understood, i can still pair the headphones with any usb donlge ?

I was wondering if I purchased a wireless headset with a USB dongle, would it work on my work PC, which has a lot of settings and apps blocked, as well as Bluetooth blocked? As I hate working with a cabled headset.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

We have other customers in a similar scenario where a wireless headset with USB Dongle works fine.

[@flare0080]

Similar issue: I have the Poly Voyager Focus 2 with the included BT700. The computer picks up the BT700 receiver but sets that as the headset/mic… The headset works but gets stuck in a mute/unmute loop. Restarting doesn’t work, has the newest firmware, and I cannot download the Poly Lens software on the work laptop. Am I alone with this problem?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

It sounds defective. If you're within the warranty we'd recommend contacting Poly to request a warranty replacement.

[@kendracline6758]

Did you find one to use without having to download software bc my company doesn’t allow Bluetooth but I’m trying to find a way around it hopefully

Can I connect the hs80 headset without the dongle?

[@sergentum]

most of bluetooth headsets can't give you stereo sound and mic at the same time - that's most important part imo

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

You’re right. In that case you’d want to consider a wired headset or get a pair of headphones of your choice and add a Modmic. That will give stereo sound and good mic quality at the same time

[@user-rf5fc6om3l]

If I use it for gaming -the mic stop?

[@sergentum]

@@jamesgreally2195 Samsung Galaxy tablet S8, which doesn't have a port for accepting a dongle anyway. For sure it does, but you might not like the solution - you can use typeC - 3.5 minijack adapter (couple dollars at amazon or aliexpress), and use any wired headset. There are adapters that allow to pass sound out and charge tablet at the same time, but you will have to use wires, which isn't great IMO. Bluetooth headset will work, but you'll not like the quality of incoming sound, because that would be mono sound and quite low bitrate, so voice will be compressed and sound far less naturally. Your transmitted voice in that case will be fine.

[@natalyperales3047]

What if you have a usb A headset and lose the dongle but only find a usb c dongle? Will it work the same way regardless? Specific to Jabra

[@NeoteriX]

I have both Jabra USB-A and USB-C dongles; they are interchangeable. You just need to make sure you pair them with the headphones in the Jabra app.

Hi Nataly, as long as you have a USB-C port or USB converter, it will work.

@@HeadsetAdvisorso this is what’s making my headset purchase so complicated. I need a basic RJ9 headset, but I’d like to get an all in one if possible. From what I’ve seen online the Poly Voyager and Voyager Focus 2 has been having a lot of connectivity issues. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that they’re Bluetooth headsets that have these issues, I don’t think headset technology has really come that far since plantronics and NASA. The hardware seems like it’s basically the same… everything is just digitally processed now. I wanted a FOCUS 2 and then changed to a (size matters with mics I feel… Poly 5200 is the exception, tbh Poly was the exception until they started making their headsets worse in many cases) Voyager 4320UC-Office where I buy the Adapter base separately… but think I’m better off with old tech around Circa Savi era… because those headsets will work until the batteries give out, but when a big company (ahh emm HP) cam just roll out an update and make your headset obsolete (Apple iPhone 6 battery gate) it makes me not want a newer headset that doesn’t use straight DECT… am I being paranoid 🤷‍♂️. Until the technology caters to onboard processing power Iin the hardware or at least software built in with a screen (only one I know is Yealink WH67) or something I can’t see buying a work headset that strictly Bluetooth
