I've been having some small issues with my Jabra Evolve2 65 (and Jabra Link 380) with random audio drop outs for roughly 10 seconds at a time, When the audio returns, It sounds quite distorted then comes back to normal again. Potentially RF issues? The dongle is plugged directly into a laptop.

My use case is an open office for 3 days a week and two days at home. Home environment can be quiet, Can sometimes be a bit louder depending if my 3 year old is at home that day...

I work a 36 hr week and currently can last with the Jabra a full week on one charge depending on the week. Sometimes I'll need a charge by Wednesday night, Thursday if it has been a busy week. I would like to maintain that lengthy battery as I do sometimes forget to charge frequently. This is why I'm considering the Impact 500 over the 1000.

Are there any others I'm potentially not looking at?

Edit to add: I would likely be looking at open box/as new items to cut cost. My Jabra's were bought for £35, I can get the Epos Impact 500 for around £75 or the Yealink for around £85-£95 with an included charging dock.

I've recently just taken delivery of a 1440p VA panel miniLED monitor.

It looks great to be honest, all usual tests look quite good especially for VA. However, I want to test with actual it's intended purpose which is gaming.

Can anyone recommend games which may highlight the likes of ghosting and smearing etc so if it is unbearable, I can return it?

I purchased a cheap used set of NReal air's last year to see how I got on with them. I had them hooked up to my SteamDeck and PS5 easily enough which was quite enjoyable.

Now after some use and seeing I get on reasonably well with them, I'm considering an upgrade.

I don't need the top end pair but ideally would like the following features:

- 3dof for pinning the display.

- Option for two monitors or potentially wide screen (I'm unsure if this needs additional software to be achieved, If so, I doubt I could get it installed on a work laptop)

- Good support for gaming via Steamdeck, Legion Go etc.

What recommendations would be suggested for this use case?
