Hi Dadof 5,

I've checked the Jabra site, but they don't have guide for PC pairing. I've try the solution in your link too, it doesn't work.

r/Jabra on Reddit: Connect Jabra Evolve2 65 to Jabra Direct without dongle
April 9, 2025 -

Hello.

I received a Jabra Evolve2 65 yesterday after my Evolve2 75 died. Sad, the 75 was much better, but my company does not hand it out anymore.

Anyhow, the 65 did NOT come with a USB dongle. No problem, I connected it via Bluetooth. But now I want to make some adjustments in Jabra Direct and Direct does not find the headset. If I click on pairing, the software says: "Insert a Jabra Bluetooth adapter or Jabra DECT USB adapter to par a wireles Jabra headset or speakerphone with your computer"

You do not get a USB dongle anymore with your really expensve Jabra equipment and without a dongle you also cannot use the software?

I really hope, I am missing some other options here; can anybody give me a workaround to get my Evolve2 65 into the Direct software without a dongle??

______

Edit: Found the dongle in the pouch. Did not expect anything to be in there and threw it into the corner already :) Sorry, my fault.

How To Pair Jabra Bluetooth Headphones with Windows 10? - TechRepublic
August 22, 2019 - Luckily for me, my Jabra product (Elite Sport) is capable of entering pairing mode. To do this, I located the general-purpose button (you might have a model with a separate pairing button) and put on the earpiece. I held the button down past the welcome sound, past Bluetooth connect (this is where the blue light began to flash on my headset) and even longer until the blue light flashes in a weird pattern and the device speaks to you.

Hello Alexey,

Good to see you in Microsoft Community.

Firstly, could you let me know the specific system version? You can check it by pressing the Win key + R key, and typing "winver", then press Enter, please take a screenshot/photo of it, and only send the relevant information without PII in the next reply.

You may Run the audio troubleshooterSelect Start > Settings > System > Sound > Troubleshoot common sound problems and select Output devices or Input devices*.*

You mentioned that you deleted the connected Bluetooth device and connect it again, did you do it in Windows Settings? I recommend that you uninstall the device in Device Manager, then restart the system and connect again. "Win*" + "X" > "Device Manager" > "Audio inputs and outputs", find the device, then right click > "Uninstall device"*, then reboot.

Meanwhile, I recommend that you confirm in the sound settings that the device has been set as the default audio device after connecting your Bluetooth headphones. Win + R to open*****"Run"*, type "mmsys.cpl" and press Enter to open the "Sound" interface, right-click your target device in the "Playback" tab and "Recording" tab respectively > "Set as Default Device", then click "Ok" to save the settings.

And you may Perform a clean boot to check if the headset is recognized correctly, this is a troubleshooting step. In this mode, we can further confirm whether it is caused by system problem or third-party software or personalized settings. So, please be patient.

Disclaimer*: A “clean boot” starts Windows with a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. It helps to determine whether a background program is interfering with your game or program and to isolate the cause of a problem.*

These steps of "clean boot" might look complicated at first glance. However, to avoid any trouble for you, please follow them in order and step-by-step so that it will help you get you back on track.

If anything is unclear, please do not hesitate to let me know.

Best Regards,

Mosken_L - MSFT | Microsoft Community Support Specialist

Hi, Mosken

Thank you for your reply!

  • It is Windows 11 22H2 Build 22621.1413
  • Audio troubleshooter shows weird result. When my headset is NOT connected, it is displayed as a device to troubleshoot. When I try to troubleshoot it, it says that the device is not plugged it - it is okay. But once I connect it, it disappears from the list of devices in troubleshooting interface. Very weird.
  • I can see my headset in Bluetooth section of the Device Manager. But it is not shown as an Audio Device there. Screen shot is attached. So, I can't delete this "Audio device". I deleted Bluetooth device, but with no result.
  • Setting the default audio device is also not possible. The same story as with troubleshooting service. Disconnected device is listed, but the device disappears from the list the exact moment it is connected. Two screenshots are below.
  • I tried clean boot with no result

I would appreciate any other advise.

Best Regards

r/Jabra on Reddit: Can I connect my Jabra Elite H85 to my Windows 10 desktop without my PC having bluetooth?
November 15, 2020 -

I don't have bluetooth on my PC but I figured the USB dongle would do the job for me. I have bought plenty of wireless headsets, mice, keyboards and controllers that all had a USB dongle. Whenever I plugged in the dongle, the device would connect to the USB dongle through bluetooth, even though my PC doesn't have bluetooth. How come my Jabra can't do that? Have I missed something and if my PC DO need its own bluetooth reciever, then wth is the USB dongle used for?

Hello u/chunaynay Thank you for reaching out. The Jabra Elite 85h is optimized for use with a mobile device such as a smartphone or tablet. Some users may have success pairing a Jabra Bluetooth device with a computer and then connecting to a softphone client such as Microsoft Teams. However, the full functionality of the Jabra device may not be available. For example, you may be able to send and receive audio, but the buttons may not work for call controls the way they would with a mobile device. If you do pair with a computer or unsupported device, note that it must support the following: - The Hands-Free (HFP) or Headset (HSP) Bluetooth profile. - The Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP) Bluetooth profile. In addition, ensure that all devices, including your Jabra device, are up to date with the latest firmware/software. When pairing your Jabra Bluetooth device, follow the same steps that you would for pairing with a mobile device. To troubleshoot challenges when connected to a computer or softphone client, try the following steps: - 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. - Ensure that your Jabra device is selected as the audio device on your computer and the softphone client. If you have other questions or concerns, please contact the Jabra Support Team through a private message. We are here to help!
