Jabra Talk 35

I'm very disappointed in Jabra and especially in this headset. I Was expecting more quality and the last thing that was in my mind is the low volume.

But if you're willing to spend a little more, the Plantronics M55( at Amazon)(Opens in a new window) is our Editors' Choice for budget Bluetooth headsets.

I bought a used pair of qc 35 in very good condition a couple of days ago for 80 Euros with bag etc. I tried them out and i instantly noticed a problem. They work perfect in bluetooth, but I need to pull the plug / cable from where it leads into the headphones a bit out in order to hear on both sides. Then I read online and thought it was the cable.

It's actually a better choice than the similarly priced Samsung HM1800($42.30 at Amazon Canada), since that headset lacks A2DP.

It looks fake to me! The lights on the QC 35 doesn’t blink like that. It’s Green or Amber for the battery status and white for the BT connectivity light. I’ve never seen mine flashing blue like that.

When I turn on my headphones, they usually automatically pair to my phone and my laptop at the same time. However, most of the time it seems like it will prioritize one device, usually getting its sound input from my laptop and muting whatever my phone is playing. When I try to play a song off my phone, for example, nothing comes through, because I think the headphones are "listening" to my laptop only, if that makes sense.

I tried to pair my Jabra Talk 35 and Talk 45 (both are mono bluetooth headsets with multipoint) to my computer; actually, I tried with 3 computers: a Dell laptop, a Microsoft Surface, and a desktop PC. The connection is garbage, totally unusable as audio cuts out all the time (both my voice and the audio played to me). ​. Jabra's website gives a song and dance on how computer bluetooths are meant for mice and keyboards, not for audio, so you need their super duper dongle to get the best connection.
