I've just initiated a within-30-days return for a full refund of my new Jabra Evolve2 75 headset. It comes with a USB dongle so they definitely won't be claiming it doesn't support PC use, but I don't trust a company that makes such scammy claims and I've tweeted them to say just that.

Ah well, I thought I was enjoying my third Jabra product and it turns out I won't touch them with a barge pole again, unless and until they publicly retract and apologise for this behaviour.

Anyone have recommendations for a good on-ear headset for (mostly) work calls?

Bose QC 35 headphones work reasonably well, good noise cancelling, good enough mic for calls. I hear the Sony NC headsets getting better reviews in the last couple years on at least their NC functionality.

I’ve found the mics in QC35 don’t work in an office btw (and I have to be careful at home) - they sometimes pick up people talking quietly at the other side of the room and amplify them because it thinks you are just speaking quietly in my experience (when really you aren’t saying anything). I think it’s to do with how they volume adjust the mics dynamically or something.

I use my QC35s all the time but switch to a jabra wired headset for calls as got lots of complaints with the QC35s and kept being told to go on mute.

Headsets without a boom microphone only work in the quietest of environments, the Bose is not really a suitable replacement for the Jabra model mentioned above.
