The beauty of Bluetooth 5 is that it's completely backwards-compatible with Bluetooth 4.0, 4.1, and 4.2 devices. Another added benefit is that you can apply all of the features of legacy Bluetooth core specifications to Bluetooth 5.
So as long as the BT USB is 4.0 or better, according to the BT5 standard it's compatible.
I just bought these: Jabra Classic Bluetooth Headset. They are on the 'approved' list from Yealink and will arrive Monday.
As far as the BT USB, Yealink hasn't responded to my support ticket yet so I'm not sure about switching that out to test. It very well may be the dongle.
I am very curious and would like it if you post your findings with the new headset.
Thanks.
I will. Thanks!
Well know I don't know what to think. The Jabra came. It's horribly uncomfortable but it works. I decided to try my original headset and it's working now.
I think it's got to be something with the phone or USB. Yealink support responded but only asked me if I had tried power cycling the phone. (Which I had). No response since then.
