My Jabra Evolve2 65 started dropping mic under Windows randomly as well... Maybe it's the same chip and the same problem as in 85t?
Do you use the included usb dongle?

Not when they're the ones claiming they don't want to interoperate with stuff that does have Bluetooth certification (e.g. Apple hardware).
Who exactly certifies MacOS (or any OS) for Bluetooth compliance?
It's usually not about the OS but the BT controller (hardware) itself.

#113To be fair, the Mac bluetooth stack is a dumpster fire. Not sure that works as an excuse given that everyone else's headphones seem to work on Mac.

#114When I receive a call, my Bose SoundSport headphones randomly ring at max volume, with audible clipping. This happens when the iOS ring volume slider is set to the middle and hearing protection is enabled at 75dB. The sound is shockingly loud, especially when listening to an audio book at low volume. There was a multi-year megathread about it on the Bose forums before the company removed the forums entirely. I chatte…

Audio has worked great on Linux for a while. Pulse Audio improved a lot, and now Pipewire, pretty much everything just works.
To be fair, I’m at a point where my audio works better on my personal Linux setup than on my high end Windows Dell laptop at work. Which is the exact opposite as my situation 10-15 years ago. That’s how much Windows transformed itself into a pile of shit during the last decade.
I have the same experience Linux MacOS, compared to twenty five years ago
Part of it is that Linux got better, part of it Apple got worse.
Very odd

#116This is a lesson in not buying from sketchy companies unfortunately. They don't, as far as I am seeing, advertise PC compatibility. So you are out of luck there. Return them if you can and buy something better.
Sketchy? Jabra is arguably the industry leader in hands-free audio, producing this stuff since 1983. It was the brand you buy to use with your phone when driving a car before "true-wireless headphones" was even a thing.

#117I have the Elite 85h, and it has the same problem, as well as about a dozen other problems when you connect it to a computer. Same response. But the sales letter for the product makes it clear that they do support computers. My last email to Jabra was ignored: The message that computers are not supported devices on the Jabra Elite 85h was a very upsetting response to receive, so I didn't respond for quite a while. It…
> However, this statement about computers not being supported cannot be true. On the Jabra site for this product, it says: "no need to plug your headphones into your computer." It also has a picture of the product beside a Macbook. I've included screen shots of the product page that show these two points that clearly indicate computers are supported. I've heard this issue of the Elite 85h not being compatible with computers before from Jabra support, but it seems so implausible that Jabra would make bluetooth headphones that don't support computers, and equally implausible that they would mislead people into buying them on their site by suggesting that computers are supported if they are not.
Yeah, like... this is exactly how you get yourself sued, so if that's what they're hoping for...?

#118Have you tried it with the Jabra Link USB dongle? Yeah it’s pricy if it’s not included (it was with my Evolve2 65), but while using it I never had any issues, as the computer sees it as a USB soundcard (which works pretty well on Win/Linux/Macos).
Unfortunately, I never had any luck with any Bluetooth audio device of any manufacturer on computers (as opposed to phones/tablets).

No, both the OS and the hardware are certified by the Bluetooth SIG. An example: https://www.collabora.com/news-and-blog/news-and-events/pipe...
