" ... I like a Bluetooth that you don’t have to wear INSIDE the ear and this fit the bill. ... It does have better sound than the Motorola H30 and it does fit nice and light ON the ear that you barely feel it. ... "
" ... It does not hurt my ear. ... "
" ... I’m a realtor and this is a great way to be hands free. ... "
" ... love the hands free so I don’t have to dig in my purse to answer the phone. ... "
" ... I like the fact it sits on the ear not in it ... "
" ... Good sound (both ways), great streaming, comfortable fit, decent battery life. ... "
" ... Great product, good quality sound and fits my ear perfectly ... "
" ... Perfect for no hands when driving. ... "

" ... Won't charge properly and never worked correctly since I bought it. ... "
" ... Unfortunately when I bought this, I didn’t see that the battery life of the actual headset was only 3hours talk time. ... "
" ... Battery life is terrible ... "
" ... Perhaps it was just the one I got, but battery only lasted 3 hours Max and then had to put on charger which does little good for daily use. ... "
" ... Battery life is too short does not announce calls or numbers I would not recommend ... "
" ... I placed it on the charger as I had been doing, however, the device would not charge. ... "
" ... It bothers my ears 👂🏼plus batteries dies by 2 if im not mistaken. ... "
" ... I bought this item in February last year, and by September it stopped accepting charge no matter how long on the charger. ... "

" ... I purchased the Jabra Talk 55 in November 2020, but it no longer works. ... "
" ... Therefore, I'm stuck with 3 Jabra talk 5 bluetooths with no clamps. ... "
" ... Very pathetic for Jabra's top of the line earpiece. ... "
" ... Defective drop calls by itself. ... "
" ... Jabra Talk 45 worked OK for a few months and then call waiting feature stopped working. ... At same time they mistakenly sent me Jabra Talk 45 and guess what -- the microphone doesn't work at all. ... "
" ... This product cuts in and out of calls. ... I constantly get comments from people about my voice cutting in and out. ... The other flaw with this product is that you have to tap on the earpiece to answer calls, this becomes a problem after an hour of tapping on your ear drum. ... "
" ... Consistently would drop calls but would still be powered on. ... "
" ... However this one seems to fall out of my ear numerous times a day cutting off my calls. ... "

" ... This is a quality Bluetooth, sound quality and battery life excellent. ... "
" ... This blue-tooth was amazing up until about a month ago. ... "
" ... I use many Bluetooth Headsets, I have one in each car and stationed at different locations where I usually sit at home. ... "
" ... After trying out multiple brands and types of bluetooth headsets for work from home and connecting to my desktop, I happy to find Jabra Talk 25. ... "
" ... Highly recommend to change chargers to connect directly to Bluetooth ... "
" ... Great sound, connects so easy. ... "
" ... This is a great little Bluetooth. ... It is $30 more than the Motorola H30 Bluetooth but it makes up for it and sound. ... "
" ... After trying multiple Bluetooth products for my work phone calls, I've finally found on that works well. ... "

" ... This POS gave me all kinds of trouble, inconsistent connectivity, charge, etc. ... "
" ... I had expected a headset with a charging cradle, and instead got something that's best understood as a single better Airpod with an odd charging case. ... All that being said, the "charging case" is a weird design. ... I don't know why they bothered to make the "charging case" and essentially make the case impossible to carry anywhere unless you put it in another case (your Jabra charging case case? ... It raises the question why they didn't just make it a desktop cradle and do away with the whole "charging case" pretext. ... "
" ... Perhaps poor contact with the charger. ... "
" ... Definitely does not hold a 15 hour charge. ... "
" ... The No on off switch is a problem- and have to charge in case. ... "
" ... The last time I tried to charge it, it wouldnt charge, tried several times, it's in the trash now. ... "
" ... While it will hold a charge amazingly for around 6 hours of continuous use it will disconnect from iPhone and android Razer. ... "
" ... Then, after only 5-10 minutes of use, it starts announcing that I have only 15 minutes left and then keeps telling me to charge the battery. ... "

" ... Love it, the sound super high volume , ear holder size small pop out your need to add 2 size ,very light ,battery long time, the only problem the ear holder is to small for those people with big ear , hope Jabra included 2 set of older ear , that why I give 4 star ... "
" ... Good sound, fits well, very reliable. ... "
" ... Fits in my ear pretty well. ... "
" ... This is small and stays in place on my ear really well. ... "
" ... It also fits me well. ... "
" ... great little blue tooth ear piece. ... "
" ... Fit in the ear was good. ... "
" ... The latter is also harder to put on, whereas the clipless approach allows you to just insert the earpiece quickly. ... It's oddly secure. ... "

" ... This is my 4th Jabra device and so far the best one yet. ... "
" ... Easy to use and connect. ... "
" ... I've owned a similar jabra and a compariable plantronics device and the jabra is far superior. ... "

" ... Do not buy after 3 months they wont charge all the way have 2 done the same thing ... "
" ... Paying $60 for an item that doesn't even last a year is not okay! ... "
" ... This item was defective. ... "
" ... Well I'm 5 months in and this thing has died. ... Turns on but randomly shuts down and won't power back on. ... "
" ... The first one I bought worked well for a month and then went downhill from there. ... "

" ... The answer button is too thin, takes too much pressure to push and with no felt switch detent it's hard to know if you did anything or not. ... "
" ... Could not find a volume control. ... "
" ... My dislike is not being able to control the volume. ... "
" ... The device cannot switch between connected devices and you're always hunting for the volume button. ... "
" ... You cannot put it into your ear without pushing the function button, so as you are trying to fit in your ear it starts trying to do all sorts of things. ... "

" ... This review asked how the noise cancellation works. ... "
" ... Haven't used noise cancellation feature yet. ... "
" ... I get good sound quality, but everyone I talk to gets a bunch of extraneous noise. ... "
" ... Noise cancelling is good, sound quality is good, the ability to pair to two devices simultaneously is really nice. ... "
" ... Not too sure about noise cancellation. ... "
" ... I really liked the ability of this headpiece to cancel out unnecessary background noise and it's initial ease in set up. ... "
" ... Noise cancelling was about the best that I have had. ... "
" ... Also, I don't think this has much in the way of noise canceling but that's probably why the mic sound is so crystal clear. ... "
