Jabra PRO 900 Series Wireless Headsets

Wireless headsets are much more prevalent in the workspace. I remember many, many years ago the first wireless headsets by ACS then GN Netcom. And of course, Plantronics (now Poly) joined in and took the market by storm. Now all major headset manufacturers offer wireless solutions. I remember how hard it was to get businesses other than call centers to even consider trying corded headsets. Jabra offers the PRO 900 Series Wireless Headsets, which is what we’re looking at today.

When wireless headsets finally became affordable we couldn’t keep enough on our shelves. There is no question wireless headsets increase productivity. What’s been happening over the past decade is a shift in how businesses/people communicate and collaborate. Most businesses don’t have just one method. They have desk phones, softphones, web-based collaboration platforms and of course mobile devices.

Wireless headset manufacturers began developing multi-connectivity wireless headset options to fit the varying connectivity requirements. While extremely beneficial for multiple businesses…there is still a need for a more simple solution.

What I like about the Jabra Pro 900 series is the simplicity. They are easy to set up and use. They have great talk time, very good audio quality and well… they just work.

I think customers/vendors sometimes forget this series exists. I also think there is some confusion with the multiple Jabra PRO 900 Series variants. I’ll try and simplify.

The Jabra PRO 900 Series has four main connectivity options:

1. Desk Phone
   1. Jabra PRO 920 Mono
   2. Jabra PRO 920 Duo
   3. Jabra PRO 925 Single Connectivity
2. Softphone
   1. Jabra PRO 930 UC Mono
   2. Jabra PRO 930 UC Duo
   3. Jabra PRO 930 Mono for Microsoft Lync/SfB
   4. Jabra PRO 930 Duo for Microsoft Lync/SfB
   5. Jabra PRO 935 Single Connectivity
   6. Jabra PRO 935 Single Connectivity for Microsoft Lync/SfB
3. Desk Phone and Mobile
   1. Jabra PRO 925 Dual Connectivity
4. Softphone and Mobile
   1. Jabra PRO 935 Dual Connectivity
   2. Jabra PRO 935 Dual Connectivity optimized for Microsoft Lync/SfB

Why so many variants? Jabra recognizes the increase in wireless headset use. To help address wireless density issues, they offer DECT and Bluetooth options. If the model ends in “0” it’s DECT. If the model ends in “5” it’s Bluetooth. The Jabra PRO 920 Mono is DECT. The PRO 935 Single Connectivity would be Bluetooth.

Now that you know which models are which…here’s what makes the Jabra PRO 900 Series winners:
