I used my old Plantronics GO 2 headset with the 370 adapter for awhile when I used those buds. You can pair non-Jabra headsets to the adapter as well. A lot less glitchyness when compared to doing that with other BT dongles.įWIW - you aren't tied to Jabra with the purchase. When the app stops using the mic - it will automatically switch BT profiles back to A2DP for better quality audio when you're watching videos after a conference call. With it also showing up as one device, you just choose that in those apps. The connectivity and range is much better. You'll definitely have a better experience with the adapter for Skype/Teams calls. I do that between my desktop and laptop for when I travel. You could definitely move it between PCs. Not sure what their use cases were though. I did see that someone was using the Link 360 with their earbuds on another thread and mentioned it worked good. What about the Link 360? do you know if that works with the 75t? There are a few headsets for sale on CL for less than $60 that come with the link 360 so that might be a cheaper alternative than buying the 370/380. Sorry one last question if you don't mind. I guess my main hold back from jumping in to Jabra at this point is investing in the dongle means I will likely be tied to Jabra if I want to upgrade the buds in a few years. I was thinking that by having a separate dongle all I will need to do is move the dongle from my laptop to the HTPC. I was also thinking a potential bonus that I see with the separate dongle is I could plug it into my HTPC(no Bluetooth currently so either way I will need to buy a BT dongle for this) and watch movies/YouTube when my wife is asleep. Well I want to have them paired to my phone for podcasts and phone calls and paired to my work laptop(it has integrated Bluetooth) for Skype and Teams mainly but I also sometimes like to watch some YouTube here and there. I inquired with Jabra Sales but have no heard back yet. Covid-19 really isn't helping their manufacturing/shipping time-frames at this point I'm sure. I believe those should be releasing anytime from now to ~May. They are also offering it in a USB-C format as well which is nice to see. That would be optimal to match with the Elite Active 75t earbuds if it does end up being BT 5.0 with respect to your concerns about latency. Unfortunately its specs are not yet posted - though I am hoping it will be BT 5.0 to match those new headsets capabilities. The Jabra Link 380 will be releasing soon with the Evolve2 lineup of enterprise/business headsets. That said, I'd perhaps wait a little longer if I were you. If you're looking at investing in the Link 370 - I find it works great with the earbuds. A regular BT adapter is simply used with the native BT management settings in Windows. Jabra Direct is meant to work with their adapter, not regular BT adapters. The major difference between the two is the Bluetooth version, although they both support similar profile versions for their codecs. I'm sure Gaming would be a whole other story, RE: lag. I don't experience discernible delays/lag for these use cases. I also use it on the computer to watch YouTube videos and other movies/NetFlix in between those calls. I primarily use it for conference calls via Teams, Skype, Go2Meeting, WebEx/etc. You can sometimes find them cheaper on Ebay at more reasonable prices.įWIW - I use the 370 adapter with my Elite Active 75t earbuds. They instead show up as a soundcard i/o device in Windows. Yes - they are more expensive than a regular BT dongle.
