The Final Verdict
It is a difficult choice because the design is very much up to the individual, for this reason, we decided to take this feature out of our final verdict. We then also had to take a number of features out of the equation because they were the same, for example, the controls, the Jabra Assist App, the Power Nap feature, and what was included. We were left with the Jabra Talk 25 with the longer battery life and the Jabra Talk 30 that had a much better wireless range. Considering the battery life is a con for both of the Bluetooth headsets, we felt that the Jabra Talk 30 was the better buy.
