As mentioned earlier, both of these Bluetooth headsets come with two noise canceling microphones. So on the surface, you could make the assumption that both of these headsets should sound pretty much the same. And, to a degree, they do, but not entirely. The Jabra Talk 65 doesn’t work with a USB Adapter which means it can only be used with a computer if it’s Bluetooth enabled. What's also really nice is the GPS information streaming and one-touch voice assistant access so the headset can help you manage your day and navigate too. The Poly 5200 gives you 7 hours of talk time on a single charge, but that can be extended to 14 hours through the portable recharge case.I'm not alone; there's a good reason this form factor has been so enduring, and that’s because busy people recognise its value. Whether you’re a delivery driver who’s always getting up and out of their seat, or you’re the in-house IT guy who is slammed with people phoning you while you’re already out fixing somebody else’s problem and never get a chance to sit at your desk, or you simply like to have a good walk and don’t want to risk the current trend of teeny-tiny earbuds getting lost somewhere on your travels, then this is a headset for you. The wireless range was surprising as well. Most Bluetooth headsets are designed to provide up to 100 feet of wireless range, with the real range being something less than that. The Jabra Talk 65 gives you up to 300 feet. That’s unusual in Bluetooth headsets, which makes this headset far more versatile over other options.
It's IP54 rated against dust and water so you don't even have to worry about rain, sweat, or dropping it.The Poly 5200 is rated up to 98 feet, and the Jabra Talk 65 is rated up to 300 feet. In both cases, you should expect to get less because you typically get about half the stated range. Even with that in mind, you can see that there’s a very big difference between these two headsets when it comes to wireless range.
It is lighter than over-the-ear headphones and comes designed for hassle-free calls in noisy environments with up to 80% noise cancellation, two microphones, and HD Voice to ensure clearer communication. These are wireless headsets, and because of that, once the battery dies, you’re pretty much dead in the water. That underscores the importance of having a decent battery, especially when you consider that this headset is normally used out of an office, and in many (or most) cases, no access to electrical outlets for a recharge. Both of these headsets come with two microphones that are noise canceling. This is important to know because the microphone quality directly relates to audio quality, which is important to anyone who places value on having a professional sounding call. The Jabra Talk 65 can be used with computers, and mobile devices. However, because this headset doesn’t come with a USB Adapter, or dongle, it can’t provide you with remote call answering. Also, the computer you connect it to must be Bluetooth enabled. There are advantages in having a USB Adapter that go beyond remote call answering. Hopefully, a future version of this headset will come with one.Microphone quality and noise cancellation: A great Bluetooth headset should transmit audio that’s crisp and easy to understand regardless of the environment where you take your call. This requires the microphone to have some noise-cancelling capabilities to reduce the ambient sound. Without that, you might sound muddy or even incoherent to the person you’re talking to. Sound quality is subjective for sure, but when I listened, and then relistened to both of these headsets in a quiet room, a room with different noises (office noise, dogs barking, and a loud blender nearby), the Talk 65, to me, just did a better job. And while we’re still on the subject of batteries, when the batteries on either of these headsets will no longer take a charge, they can’t be replaced. If you’re someone who likes using a headset when working remotely, or on-the-go, then you’ve probably familiar with different makes and models of Bluetooth wireless headsets. Being hands free, and cord free when on calls is very convenient, and also helps to make you more efficient, comfortable and if on the road, safe.
