I need to use earphones to hear my clients on Zoom. I tried the premium \u201cJabra Evolve 65T\u201d bluetooth earbuds but they didn\u2019t work for me at all (see my review below). I\u2019ll pay a premium price. Any suggestions?<\/p>\n

\nMy review of the Evolve 65T True Wireless Professional UC Headset, posted to Amazon 1-14-21<\/p>\n
Several insurmountable problems led to a return<\/p>\n
I was hoping to use these to do video Zoom chats on my Windows computer. Using them for listening to music and podcasts too. A couple issues forced me to return them:<\/p>\n
– They occasionally make a very loud click in my ears. Once it happened when I walked away from my desk, maybe it lost bluetooth connection? Once it happened while I was trying to configure it. Earbuds should NEVER blast my ears with a loud click!<\/p>\n
– The audio balance for music is often 90% to the left and can’t be fixed. I googled around and found several forums filled with people saying “yeah, that’s a problem. I called Jabra and they couldn’t fix it.” One fix seemed to work for some people: sticking a needle in the microphone port below the “R” on the right earbud and wiggling it around. I gently tried this (on my brand new earbuds) and it didn’t work.<\/p>\n
– I had a bit of trouble configuring them to work. Making the sound path from Zoom\/Spotify\/default computer audio to the speakers wasn’t intuitive and the manual consisted of just 4 pictograms. I muddled through but a little more help from Jabra would have been nice. Here are some hints (that Jabra doesn’t mention!): The Jabra “Sound+” app for Android can help you configure the earbuds… but some forums say it is responsible for the left-balance problem. You should get the Jabra Direct Windows program to set up the Jabra USB Link 370 USB Adapter.<\/p>\n
– I tried a few other earbuds, the MPOW Flame Solo and the TOZO T12 and both offered better features and sound quality for way less money!<\/p>\n
I welcome comments saying which earbuds will work well for Zoom on Windows! These were premium priced, I’d be happy to spend premium money to make it work!<\/p>\n
