I've had a Jabra Pro mono 65 and a previous iteration of that for more than a decade. My current one is 4+ years old and acting up, I confirm it's the headset by switching to computer mic/audio and the issues stop. What do you have an recommend? I'm looking for:

-Mono
-Wireless
-Mute button on the thing
-Integrates with Teams calls somehow (hang up button)
-Huge range (I get bored and can walk around the entire yard with my current one)

Thanks in advance!

Practical recommendation


If thinking “I just want what I had before but new” ? Jabra Engage 65 SE


If using desk phone + PC + mobile heavily ? Poly Savi 8210


If budget-sensitive but still needs range ? Yealink WH62


Recommended replacing with Jabra Engage 65 SE Mono (DECT) to match existing Jabra Pro functionality. Provides ~500 ft range, Teams call control, and onboard mute. Poly Savi 8210 is a viable alternative for multi-device environments. Avoid Bluetooth models due to significantly reduced range.

I know about Jabra, just disappointed this one hasn't lasted like my previous one and was looking for some testimonials. When I search Amazon, it's just a load of Chinese fake brands. Might work fine, who knows. I use it 7+ hours a day, 5 days a week, so I'm fine getting something worth it.

AirPods. Everything else makes you look like an antisocial dork.

I've got a yealink, hits all those marks, I've never tested the range to failure, but I walk and talk too and can go get the mail on the other side of the building and still be connected.

I have the Poly Voyager Focus 2 for work and the noise cancellation on the mic is fantastic (nobody every hears anything going on in the background around me). There are buttons that integrate with Teams/Zoom, when you pick it up and put it on your head it can auto-answer the call, flipping up the mic boom mutes the mic, and it has solid range when you use the dongle. It can also do Bluetooth but I think the range with the dongle is a little better.

HP apparently bought them and I don't know what their quality is like now. I have had mine for a while with no issues.

Another vote for Airpods.

I use a Jabra Engage 55 Mono, and it works well for Teams.
