TIL Jabra Evolve is great on Linux, but you'll have to use their dongle...
Recently switched to Linux, had some issues with headset. Annoyed at not being able to listen from Linux mini at a distance, I almost ordered new headset. Just visited a few websites, saved me a few hundred euros.
The problem, as always, is caused by people who think they can "improve" original protocol design. So, I've added another fucking dongle to my system (deep sigh)...
