Does anyone know how to repair the mic?

Hi everyone

I have two Jabra Evolve 75 headsets, both with the same problem: The mic is not working anymore.

I suspect that after being raised and dropped X-many times a wire got loose inside but I can't find anyone brave enough who would open the headset and check if that is actually true.

I am super happy with this headsets and I really don't want to spend 300€ for new ones. Everything else is working perfectly, except the mic.

I hope there is someone who can help me out.

Answer this question I have this problem too

Is this a good question?

Hi!

I want to start by shedding some light on a previous similar post "My headset mic is not working ", which could be worth checking out.

Your suspicion of the wire being loose or something similar is not unreasonable. There is no full tear-down of both headset cups for this particular model, but there is a guide on Jabra Evolve 75 battery replacement where they tear down the non microphone side.

You can hopefully follow that guide to open the microphone side, and check if the wires looks detached, pinched or damaged, if this is the case you can try re-solder or replace end of the cable(s).

If you cannot make out anything by eye, you can take a multimeter and take some ohm-measurements on the microphone, or the solder pads/wire-solder on the circuit board leading to the microphone to get a gist of the workings of the microphone. If you get a short circuit (~0 ohms) or a break (~infinite ohms) it is likely that the wire, or wire connection has broken or been damaged further up. Then it is up to you if you can think you can take apart the microphone housing to inspect it for cable damage; and there you may also be able to do measurements on the microphone itself skipping the cables. If the microphone is doing a good reading (typically 100 ohms up to kilo-ohm range) whereas the wires are not, the microphone is probably okay the cables are most likely broken; then you can replace and solder on new cables.

If you get bad measurements directly on the microphone, then it is likely that the microphone per se is broken.

Alternatively you may be able to source a new microphone and arm for the headset and replace it. Tho from a quick web search I did not find any replacement microphones.
