We had a 1st gen Echo in our master bathroom for listening to music in the morning th-cam.com/users/postUgkxABghAEkaIDGZfHRBH3D3rBrlraNmnC71 and while in the shower. I didn't realize how tinny and awful the sound output on the original Echo was until we replaced it with the Studio. It was a sonic upgrade far beyond what I was expecting. Just wow. I love it because it's like having speakers IN the shower. My friend likes it because the music is so loud that she can no longer hear me singing. So that's a win-win.
@@rohanmohanty3872 Shoot I'm not sure how to repair it after that because it's not waterproof. You may have the manufacturer warranty available but I think that's it unfortunately.
Love the headset, but you must have some great luck with them. I've bought 2 and they both died just outside of the warranty. Hard to justify spending the money when it just craps out after a while
I need a Bluetooth for mainly phone calls, is this prevent background noise while talking in traffic or in bus ? So that receiver hear my voice clearly ?
Especially with the microphone test I did I really think they’ll do just fine in that environment. I was in a really loud coffee shop when I did the test.
Great question, it's going to drastically reduce background noise better than the AirPods Pro and you're heard louder. The AirPods Pro are just best if you're in a quiet room and even then it makes your voice sound muffled. I did do a review of them so you can hear the mic test to compare. Here's the link and I've shared it starting with the mic test: th-cam.com/video/deP57g9rtYc/w-d-xo.html
Only issue I have with it is the rubber/silicone tip, falling off from time to time, very easy to lose. Compare to the Plantronics models which has a tight fit, the Jabra ones are loose..
That's a good point and thanks for bringing it up because I did notice that recently with pulling it out of my jeans. The ear tip falls off from time to time.
Hi, thanks for the great review. I bought 1 too recently. Just curious, Do U always max out the volume when using? (Cos I do & I’m not sure if it’s my issue). Also, is it shock proof?
Hmm, I usually am at about 50%-60% with this headset at any given time. That's interesting. Shock proof? If I understand correctly, it doesn't pick up those spikes in loud volume easily.
Hello Adam. I like your honest review of the Jabra Talk 45. Have you seen the Comply TrueGrip Pro Foam ear tips? I have been using Jabra earpiece that's about 8 or 9 years old. I grown to hate using it. The over the ear black plastic clip sometimes comes disconnected from the earpiece. I've actually had the earpiece fall out of my ear with the clip twice and never noticed it was gone. I can't use an earpiece without a clip. I recently discovered memory foam ear tips. Similar to what you'd put in your ear to block out loud noises. (ear plugs). What is your opinion of pairing the Jabra Talk 45 with Comply TrueGrip Memory foam ear tips? Thanks. Vancouver, Canada
Hi.. have you tried Talk 25? I really like the design of 45 more but the presence of Vol button in 25 is a big convenience & kind of unable to be ignored. Having tough time deciding between the two, and btw 25 is half the price of 45. Need your advice, Thanks
It's good for sure, but I wouldn't depend on it. It really depends on the setting you're in and what phone you have. What would you be using for, a podcast style or just leaving voicemails or something?
@@TechOutAdam I actually bought this after seeing your review. Then had a hard time pairing it with my laptop. Finally figured it out. Works like a charm! Wish it had a longer battery life though. Thanks for an amazing review bro!
@@acdcgooner Truly appreciate it. I just love sharing my thoughts on products, good or bad. I'm a real estate investor so I'm on the phone a lot that's why these are easy to review. I know the battery life needs to be like 10-12 hours so I don't have to charge the same day! lol
Does this jabra comes with a button in the middle, where you just press and answers the call or ends the call ? So you don’t have to answer on the phone ?
Do you work from home or in a busy office? This mono headset is my favorite for this style and price I ever used. Nothing competes with it. I don't like the earhook ones and usually others sound too artificial.
Do I understand correctly that you can't adjust the volume on the headset itself? If so, how do you adjust it? Do you have to use the volume control on your phone?
I've been a long time Plantronics user, specifically the 5200 series. The microphone on the Plantronics model is great in wind scenarios, but in a quiet room (home office), other people can actually hear me filing on my finger nails and asking me what the heck that noise is 😞. I need a headset mic that doesn't allow these type sounds since I'm on several conference calls daily. Any suggestions please???
I would recommend actually getting a dedicated podcast microphone. No matter how good a headset is for call, they will always have a nasal sound like you're on a call no matter what. JLab has incredible microphones for $99.00 that are the same price as some of these headsets but WAY better in performance for a podcast. How will you be doing your podcast?
I went through like 10 of BT2045 in the last decade and was super happy. When they weren't available anymore i got a Talk15 and that one is a total piece of garbage. No range, no volume, and i kept pressing the button accidentally. I'm almost relieved i lost it (again). Judging by this review i'll be giving Jabra another go though.
If there is any Voyager 3200 lovers out there, plz tell me what headset satisfied you after it.... i want the volume buttons it had, and a physical on off switch. And it felt really good in my ear, sometimes im looking for it while its sitting in my ear. Sadly, the batteries are crap after 5+ years of usage, i got like 5 of them. Plz give me suggestions. Its so sad that "Poly" discontinued them.
@@medik-drkrsaravanantamil1737 It's good for at home for those in between calls and casual usage more than anything. For heavy professional calls in loud environments or to make the best impression, you're right. Boom microphone headsets are always the best.
@@medik-drkrsaravanantamil1737 Good point actually, wired ones ALWAYS outperform Bluetooth headsets regardless of the bluetooth ones coming with a dongle for your computer. Much crisper and reliable every time with the connection. For example the Logitech Zone Wired is pound for pound the best wired headset I've used so far this year.
A serious issue is the rubber/silicone tip and ear holder, falling off frequently and not as on older models, very easy to lose. This headset is ergonomically a pure catastrophy , do not buy this headset !
Sorry to say but this product sucks the talk Jabra 45 is very uncomfortable in your ear it has no volume button it is overly expensive the Plantronics legend has more features slightly less money more bang for the buck more comfortable in your ear
Dang, sorry to hear about the bad experience. See, I wear glasses so that's why the Legend or newer models like it didn't work too well for me. Luckily, there's plenty of options of here. But the mic on the 5200 does perform better. It depends. The ear tip is a one sizes fit all style with the Talk 45. Thanks for the comment!

Sound demo 1:35
It is amazing that so many headset reviews don't have any sound demo. Thank you! I will buy a mono headset.
I had one for about 5 years a float it. Just repurchased. You are spot on. 😊
The Jabra Talk 45 has been a long running headset. What do you think about it with the mic test?
How can I repair it? Cause I dropped it in water. And it stopped working.
@@rohanmohanty3872 Shoot I'm not sure how to repair it after that because it's not waterproof. You may have the manufacturer warranty available but I think that's it unfortunately.

Hi, Jabra Talk 45 can be connected to several mobile phones at the one time ?
Only two at once but it remembers up to 8 connections if I remember.
how does this compare to Airpods pro microphone?

What do you think about using talk 45 for media playback (in addition to calls)
It’s very loud and crisp. I think it’s great for podcasts and audio books.
What would you recommend now if you were to buy a new one just for this use? Coffee shop calls, commute calls and maybe just listening to music..
Coffee shop calls for sure. Great question but for reliability sake, that'd be the one use that's best use with this.
Great review. Really helpful. Thanks!!
Glad it was helpful! It's a very nifty device.
after watching this video, I decided to buy a Talk 45! Thank you.
Glad I could help! Best headset I've used in this design. I love this thing.
Thank you for sharing the video
Thanks for watching!
What about windy walks and talks outside?
Only issue I have with it is the rubber/silicone tip, falling off from time to time, very easy to lose. Compare to the Plantronics models which has a tight fit, the Jabra ones are loose..
That's a good point and thanks for bringing it up because I did notice that recently with pulling it out of my jeans. The ear tip falls off from time to time.
@Let go Let god Yes it does, sorry I didn't show that! It's a clear hook and you can wear it on either side.
Nice review, thank you. Just ordered one! Plantronics change there design and they always go faulty. So hoping this is be the one!
Really appreciate the feedback! Let me know your experience once you get it. So many are sleeping on this mono headset. I love it till this day.
whats the extra long-term update

For me personally I don't like using those comply eartips because of earwax and overtime they build up too much earwax in my ears.

No I haven't. I probably should test more headsets like this though. Really see if the price ranges matter. Thanks for mentioning this!
@@TechOutAdam Welcome bro! Appreciate your effort though, great review
Hi Adam , could you review the Talk 65 please
Does it have Type C or Micro charger in 2021 ?
This is a pretty old product and has micro usb. Chargers pretty fast still.
@@TechOutAdam
Thanks
Hi, is the sound quality good for voice recording ? Thanks!
It's good for sure, but I wouldn't depend on it. It really depends on the setting you're in and what phone you have. What would you be using for, a podcast style or just leaving voicemails or something?
Is this made?
Does the mute button works when connected to a computer?
What is that hook for? I received a colored one with and without a hook. No explanation with it.
What about the 35s?
Can I connect it to iPad Air?
Great reviews ! Curious. How do you carry this around? Do you just throw it in your pocket ?
Lol yes, I have it in my button up front pocket or change pocket every time.
@@TechOutAdam Simple enough.TY
Great, it's really helpful video😊thank you so much!❤
Is Jabra talk 45 good for zoom or teams call?
Absolutely! It's one of my favorite things to use especially when I'm on the go for Zoom calls.
@@TechOutAdam can this be paired with a laptop?
@@acdcgooner absolutely! As long as you have Bluetooth on your computer you can.

What is the range around the house
Can i connect a iphone and android mobiles simultaneously?
Yes, it has multipoint connectivity and can remember up to 8 devices if I remember right.
Where is the volume button
Does this jabra comes with a button in the middle, where you just press and answers the call or ends the call ? So you don’t have to answer on the phone ?
Yes actually! Dang good question. It's the whole frame of the center piece that pushes in as a button for answering and rejecting calls.
How good is the noice cancelling at eg. Starbucks, compared to the Jabra 65?
It's good but it's not competing with the Jabra 65 because a boom arm has better tech, more able to pic up just your voice being closer to your mouth.
Any app that can help in voice cancellation.i am using this since 2 years but now people are complaining about background sounds
Do you work from home or in a busy office? This mono headset is my favorite for this style and price I ever used. Nothing competes with it. I don't like the earhook ones and usually others sound too artificial.
@@TechOutAdam from home. If you can share link.
when i talk they listen to me with an echo and metallic sound, do u have a solution?: tks
Shoot I don't understand your question but can try to help. Can you explain a little bit more?
Thanks for revue . Do you know if we can configure the vocal assist button ? To start "ok google" for example . Thanks
It's Native to the assistant on your phone but you can tweak it in the Assist App.
My question is, what firmware version are you on the Talk 45?
I don't know which one. I actually haven't updated at all since I bought it.
@@TechOutAdam thanks for replying. If you are on the 3.4.0 you're fine don't update it because the the 3.6.0 has some issues
I picked up one today from Walmart here in Canada for $34.99
Great deal!
Do I understand correctly that you can't adjust the volume on the headset itself? If so, how do you adjust it? Do you have to use the volume control on your phone?
did you ever figure out how to turn volume up?

What's your favorite type of headset as far as design goes? Over ear, on ear, mono?
Does this work on PS4 pro?
Are there any mono earpieces that are have a directional mic? I'm using my for a podcast to record. The blue parrot m300 are not good.
I would recommend actually getting a dedicated podcast microphone. No matter how good a headset is for call, they will always have a nasal sound like you're on a call no matter what.

thanks...
Of course thank you as well!
Thanks, is it possible to connect 2 devices, one laptop and phone but will change device whenever a call is rcv either phone or app in the zoom?
I went through like 10 of BT2045 in the last decade and was super happy. When they weren't available anymore i got a Talk15 and that one is a total piece of garbage. No range, no volume, and i kept pressing the button accidentally. I'm almost relieved i lost it (again). Judging by this review i'll be giving Jabra another go though.
im workong noise enviroment kind of factory
between talk45 and 85t
which one should i buy?
If it's strictly for calls absolutely the Jabra Talk 45.
If there is any Voyager 3200 lovers out there, plz tell me what headset satisfied you after it.... i want the volume buttons it had, and a physical on off switch. And it felt really good in my ear, sometimes im looking for it while its sitting in my ear. Sadly, the batteries are crap after 5+ years of usage, i got like 5 of them. Plz give me suggestions.

Just got one on clearance at walmart for $20. Wish they had more than one.
Excuse me $20? I paid $99 lol!
Must be careful not to over charge
Have you had a bad experience with battery life?
More convincing if there’s actual footage of you testing at the actual scene
I don't have to convince anybody of anything though. Jabra didn't pay me for this lol Did it all for free!
Great... Thanks for the review.

Don't turn your volume up to high
Not sure what you mean, the mic?
I have it but i don't Like it and Go Back to good old cable Headset. Still best
A serious issue is the rubber/silicone tip and ear holder, falling
off frequently and not as on older models, very easy to lose.
This headset is ergonomically a pure catastrophy , do not buy
this headset !
Have any one tried using it on Mac? I have trouble using it on Mac, the signal is always choppy.
From what I know it’s not compatible with laptops. I think you need a dongle
My mic test was actually from using the voice recorder on my M1 Macbook Air if that helps any. It wasn't choppy for me at all.
I turn off the bluetooth on my phone when I connect to my macbook. It prevents gaps in the audio.
🤣
