The active noise canceling (ANC) here is surprisingly good considering that it’s an on-ear design.
Before connecting the Jabra headphones with respective devices, you must put them into pairing mode. Jabra headphones and earbuds come in various models, so the pairing mode is subjective. However, most models usually follow one of the three pairing methods below:
First, we’ll talk about the mono headsets with a charging case. Dock the headset in the charging case to put headsets like Jabra Talk 55 into pairing mode. Press and hold the battery status button for three seconds until it flashes a blue light.
For mono headsets without a charging case like Jabra Talk 45, Talk 25, and Talk 5, press and hold the Answer/End button for three seconds. The headset will flash a Bluetooth LED light and will say “pairing mode” out loud.
Then there are the Jabra headsets and earbuds with Multi-function buttons on the side, like Jabra Elite 75t, Elite 4, and Evolve 65t. For these, press and hold the Multi-function button for 3 seconds till the headset says “pairing mode” while flashing its LED light.

Open Settings > Connected devices > Pair new device.

2 - number of paired devices that your headset can connect to simultaneously. For example, you can connect your headset to a Jabra Link Bluetooth adapter and a mobile device, or to two mobile devices at the same time. Note, you can only connect your Jabra headset to one Jabra Link Bluetooth adapter at a time.
Turn on the Bluetooth setting on your mobile device. Turn off the right earbud manually by pressing and holding the Right button until the LED flashes red. To enter pairing mode, press and hold (3 seconds) the Right button until the LED flashes blue. The earbuds are now ready to pair with your mobile device.
On your mobile device, turn Bluetooth off and on. Try to pair your Jabra device using a different mobile device. This is to confirm that a different mobile device will find and pair with your Jabra device. Ensure your Jabra device is updated with the latest firmware version.
Turn on the Bluetooth setting on your mobile device. To enter pairing mode, hold (3 seconds) the On/off/pairing switch in the Bluetooth position until the LED flashes blue. Alternatively, wear the headset to hear the pairing instructions. The headset is now ready to pair with your mobile device.
Press the Call button on the primary headset to accept the additional headset. The audio is then shared with additional headsets, which are muted by default. At the end of the call, do not dock the 1st headset, as this will end the link.
To enter pairing mode, simultaneously press and hold (3 seconds) the Left and Right buttons on the earphones, until the LED on the right earbud flashes blue. They are now ready to pair with your mobile device. To pair, go to the Bluetooth menu on your mobile device and select the Jabra device from the list.
On your Android device, tap Settings. Connected devices.
Next to your device, tap Settings .
Tap Multipoint. Use Multipoint.
Connect your headphones with the 2 desired audio source devices. To make sure your headphones are connected, go to Bluetooth settings on the audio source device.
To switch between two connected Bluetooth devices, press and hold the Bluetooth button, and then tap the Volume up or Volume down button to cycle through the connected devices. Release the Bluetooth button when your preferred device is announced.
Insert the Jabra Link Bluetooth adapter into a USB port on your computer. Ensure the Jabra Bluetooth device is turned on and within range. Put the Jabra Bluetooth device in pairing mode (as you would do when pairing it with a mobile device). Open Jabra Direct and click Pairing.
Press and hold (approximately 10 seconds) the Multi-function button on the right earbud until the LED briefly flashes purple (note that the LED will flash red before it flashes purple). The earbuds have now been reset. The LED will automatically turn green to indicate it is on and then blue to indicate pairing mode.
If your Bluetooth devices won't connect, it's likely because the devices are out of range, or aren't in pairing mode. If you're having persistent Bluetooth connection problems, try resetting your devices, or having your phone or tablet "forget" the connection.
Check that the Bluetooth connection is active on the computer. Remove the previous pairing and re-pair. Reset your Jabra Bluetooth device. Ensure that you have the latest version of the softphone client installed.
To switch between two connected Bluetooth devices, press and hold the Bluetooth button, and then tap the Volume up or Volume down button to cycle through the connected devices. Release the Bluetooth button when your preferred device is announced.
