The differences can be glaring, or they can be less so. But in about all cases, you'd never think that the two were the same because they either look much different, or they have a lot of technical differences.In today's episode, I'll be talking about two Bluetooth headsets that could just about pass as twins. That is, if headsets could indeed be classified that way. But if so, these two come about as close as possible to being the same. I'm referring to:The Jabra Talk 65 Bluetooth on-ear wireless headset, andThe BlueParrott M300-XT Bluetooth on-ear wireless headsetThese headsets share a number of features that make them more alike than different, and in this episode I'll provide you with the details. So, let's get started!Right out of the gate, placing these headsets side-by-side makes it hard to tell one from the other. They pretty much look the same. And, they weigh the same too at 0.7 ounces.But, the similarities don't stop there because besides the physical similarities, and weight, they also give you the exact same amount of talk time at 14 hours. Besides that being coincidental, it's also impressive. There's not a lot of space to squeeze in a battery that's capable of pouring out that much power, but both do. Most on-ear Bluetooth headsets will give you far less talk time, typically in the 7 hour range. So, with that in mind, you can appreciate this.Even the wireless range is the same at 300 feet. Again, this is impressive because most Bluetooth headsets are rated up to 100 feet, with some giving you even less. So, for both of these headsets to give you that much talk range, it's pretty amazing really.The Talk 65 can't be used with the Jabra Plus software for firmware updates, and other customizations, but that isn't the case with the BlueParrott M300-XT. In this way, these headsets are different. You can use the BlueParrott with the available software for customization and firmware updates.The BlueParrott M300-XT also has a PTT (push to talk) feature included that allows you to communicate with colleagues at the press of a button, without the need to access the phone manua
