Do you want the best headset? 
When we talk, we use the sound of our voice to help gauge how loud we should talk. When we can’t hear ourselves, we may end up overcompensating and talk too loudly, or conversely, too quietly making us hard to hear.
The ability to hear our voice when we talk is referred to as sidetone. In this blog, I’m going to go over the process involved to activate, and adjust sidetone on your Jabra headset.
There’s a fair amount of information available on the subject of sidetone. Some articles get into a lot of technical details, while others may leave you wanting more. Here’s an article that I think is helpful written by Iron Horse Trading that discusses sidetone. I think you might find this article interesting and informative if you want to know more about this.
