I think computer BT announces many more features, and they weed out problematic BT implementations much better.

I'm running an old Philips SHB3075 with my MacBook Air M1, and it has no problems whatsoever. The connection takes a bit longer compared to my iPhone, but I think it's negotiating a lot of things over the air during that connection.

I've attended half day long meetings, and join 2 meetings on average over zoom and Skype. Nothing shifts, nothing drops.

So, BT is a complicated protocol with a lot of baggage and layers, and proper debugging is much better than finger pointing.

Jabra can update the firmware on the device, but they're lazy or there's something wrong with hardware. I own a 45 (previously called Stealth), and the family got 5-6 software updates over the years.
