Overall, great product. It’s comfortable and the sound quality is decent (tad bassy but not really meant for music anyways). Since I bought it, I’ve only needed to charge it twice. The range is perfect, can go across the room (no line of sight) and it would still work. Can be buggy but all issues can be fixed by rebooting the device.

 

I wanted a pair of headphones that I could use for both work and personal use. Personal use is mainly podcast, YouTube and scanning music apps for new artists to listen to on my stereo. The sound quality for all of these activities is more than adequate.

I bought the teams specific set as i spend my day in and out of teams calls. I also create short training videos and use the mic for the voice recordings. I am surprised at the clarity of the voice recordings.

For teams meeting the audio quality for listening is excellent. They are not an all day headset. After around 4 hours I felt the pressure point on the top of my head.

My biggest gripe, if you are on an individual call the headset behaves as expected. However, on a team/meeting call at the end the meeting the red active light remains on and you get the mute notice reminder, even though the meeting is over. Clearly a defect with the headset.

But overall they are very good.

 

Tried a few BT headsets and had issues with the mike and MS Teams with several. It’s annoying as they quality of a 30-40 headset is decent but they all had issues with different platfomrs, particularly MS Teams.

These work fine on: MS Teams, Zoom, Google meets etc… also work well with my mobile phone and whatsapp, and have a nice sound quality for listening to music/watching movies.

Recommended. Bit procier than some, but very good.

 

Good overall mic and speakers, but if you have a big head it is not comfortable.

 

Le uso per lavoro.
Stupende. Comode.
Posso finalmente stare in call ma essere pi comodo.
Davvero davvero un ottimo prodotto. Brava Jabra.

 

Integrazione perfetta con i sistemi di call come Teams o Webex. I bottoni per il mute della cuffia e l’archetto che si solleva per mettere muto si sincronizzano con il tasto mute del sistema che si sta usando. Il microfono ha una forte riduzione del rumore per chi mi ascolta, mi riferiscono che mi sentono sempre alla perfezione. Isolamento perfetto per evitare distrazioni in ufficio. Molto comode per chi le indossa 8 ore al giorno. Ricarica eccezionale e rapidissima.
Mai pi senza !!!!

 

This is a very good headset. I like listening to music on this headset. Also the very good quality of communication. One cons is that USB connector could be designed to be plugged in the headset itself, so I can hide it somewhere inside headset.

 

ich bentige dieses Produkt fr die Telefonie via PC und um Musik zu hren.
Beides luft bestens. Bin sehr zufrieden.

 

The ear cups are ‘on ear’ rather than ‘over ear’ so they are annoying / uncomfortable after a while, but sound quality is excellent (including microphone) and they are small enough for travel woth good battery life

 

This headset is very comfortable sound (voices) are clear and battery life is great. I would recommend

 

Trs bon produit pour les visio confrences.
Je m’en sers chaque jour au travail et je le trouve trs confortable porter.
Le petit plus est la possibilit de le connecter un ordinateur et un smartphone en mme temps

 

This is an excellent pair of wireless headsets. Great quality for music too. Range is quite wide, so you can head to the kitchen and make a coffee, for example. Battery performance is great, can last almost a work week on one charge (with various calls in the day) and it charges quite quickly too (15-30 mins gives you enough for a couple of days). This is the second pair I get as my previous ones were stolen (that’s how good they are). If you are wondering the difference between the usb-c and usb-a, is the dongle that connects to your laptop; everything else is the same.

 

The sound quality is very good when listening to music.
With MS Teams, it works without any problems, the other team members can hear me clearly and the sound on my side is of great quality. The mic arm which mutes when folded up works very good.
Overall the build quality is very good.

 

These are one of the best headsets that I have invested in. Love the mute feature when you raise the Mike away. The fact that it connects to 2 devices is fantastic. I am Able to have it connected to the laptop and my phone. The only drawback is that l cannot switch sides … Mike arm does not swing around so can have only on my right. Not a huge downside… would have been grea

 

So here it is boys and girls, hands down, one of the best if not the best headset I have used.
I’ve used Plantronics and Jabra mostly and all professional line ups in regards to their price and specs. Nothing has been this light, this quality in sound, speech, distance, clarity and most of all battery life.
If you either work from home or in an office the mono is the way to go, because of the single sided speaker, you can switch during the day and also hear your surroundings. Nothing worse then being that call to a client and shouting cos you can’t hear yourself.

 

Considering the cost of the Jabra Evolve2 65, you get a reasonably decent blue tooth headset. I use multiple devices for my work, having previously used cheaper wired headsets, to be able to switch between devices was an important factor.
The headset is comfortable to wear although it does not feel it sits right on the head, if you move your head rapidly forwards and backwards it will easily fall off, I sneezed violently and they flew off across the desk.
However wearing them over long periods of time is OK although in the warm weather it does make your ears sweat, however most over ear headsets will.
Range of the headset is about 15 – 20 metres, handy if you need to answer the door whilst on call.
Like the integration to the Teams app.
Just make sure if you need to connect to multiple devices you only get the one BT dongle. More can be purchased but are expensive.
Only issue i had in the early days was the sound would chop, but eventually resolved with firmware and software updates.

 

So easy to set up (once I found the usb), works brilliantly.. occasionally has an argument with teams following an update but that is a teams issue not headphones. Had building work happening outside office door, and rest of call couldn’t hear it at all made me wish that I had gone for two earphones!

 

For the past year I’ve been using the original Evolve 65 I found that they felt loose and kept slipping and the ear pads lacked enough padding – plus they felt cheap and horrible considering the price.

I was willing to pay full price so opted to get these from Amazon warehouse – granted the box was a bit scuffed up but the content inside was all accounted for and absolutely fine.

As for the headphones themselves –

Pros:
1. Although no active noise cancelling like other premium headphones, the additional padding and material used really do help reduce background noise (something the originals didn’t do)

2. The paddingthere’s more of it so they feel more comfortable on the ears without plastic parts feeling pressed against you.

3. It has a silicon gel cushion on the headband that not only adds comfort but reduces your headset shifting about easily.

4. A more premium feel – I’m almost certain they are still plastic BUT they have been coated in a rubber texture.

5. Buttons. You have the mute button to the front where as the others are to the back. All with easy access. (Note: my model has a teams button but currently we don’t use it so I have no idea what this is supposed to do)

Cons:

The main one is this only fits one waywhich is annoying. As I’m on the phone whilst using a computer I prefer to control the headset with my left hand as I’m using the mouse in my right. (Previous models could be adapted to use left or right handed). This is a real shame.

Overview:
Nice decent headphones that are comfy to wear and definitely a huge upgrade from the previous model – are they worth the RRP definitely not. If you can get them for around 100 or under then they are worth it if you use them daily.

In the box you do get a nice leatherette pouch that jabra sell for 85 separately – maybe this should be a cheaper case to reduce costs.

I didn’t get the stand – but was shocked jabra are selling this for 75. The accessories are stupidly expensive.

 

Generally this is a really good headset. In-use it works really well and has some really nice features (eg lifting the mic beam to mute). Unfortunately are a few things that are not quite so good. My fianc’s 30 Bluetooth headset has far superior background cancelling on her mic. So people can’t hear me talk when she’s mid convo, but people can hear her talking during my conversations (when I’m not speaking). Sometimes it doesn’t connect as easily, but I just pull the usb connector out and push it back in. Battery life is really good so far – several days on standby. All-in-all very good and looks great. A little over priced

 

So far these are excellent. The sound quality is amazing and the battery life is 30 hours plus. Comfortable to wear even during long calls and the fact two devices can connect seamlessly is great. I also like the teams button, at first I thought it was a gimmick but it’s actually really useful to join meetings with ease. Another great feature is that you’re put on mute by lifting the mic, great feature if you need a drink, put it down and you’re unmuted. In summery if you spend a lot of time on calls then these are well worth the investment. Stop messing around with cheap 20-40 headsets, get a pair of these and you won’t be disappointed.

 

Das Headset kommt in der USB-C Variante mit einem kleinen Dongle, den ich zunchst nicht gefunden habe. Dieser ist sicher in einer kleinen Aussparung in der eigentlichen Aufbewahrungstasche des Headset “versteckt”. Die Kopplung mit alle bei uns im Haushalt befinmdlichen Gerte war sofort mglich und funktioniert sehr gut. Sprache wird sehr natrlich bertrage und das Mikro ist schwenkbar. Dabei wird dieses auch gleich stummgeschaltet. Insofern ein echtes Plus in der Usability. Laufzeit ist auch sehr gut. Das Headset bersteht zwei komplette Homeoffic-Tage ohne das geladen werden muss.

 

Very well made and comfortable to wear. Really good sound quality for calls and for music. I have these paired with my laptop for Skype and Teams for Business calls, and with my mobile for calls and Spotify. Don’t be put off by them being ‘optimised for MS Teams’ as they work just as well when not being used for Teams. Some nice features, such as muting when you move the mic boom up. Good call management when you are paired with two devices. The app is nice to use, and gives some customisation options. Battery life is really good. I hammer these, and I get 2 weeks between charges. The volume has a good range, both low and high. I find most headphones don’t go low enough with my Samsung S9, especially with my Mum, who shouts. These go down to a very low sound level.

The range using the supplied dongle is extremely poor – about 3m in a house. Nowhere near the claimed range. You can’t wander into another room whilst on a conference call for example. With very my old Plantronics set I could leave the house and get to the end of the garden whilst remaining connected.

They are a little on the bulky side compared to other headphones. No use for running, or vigorous walking, as they move around too much and easily fall off, even tilting your head causes them to fall off. Doesn’t always automatically connect to my Samsung S21 Ultra. I often have to turn the headset power off and on to connect.

 

Before buying this headset I read the other reviews and was concerned that there was a number of 1 star reviews with various grievances, but I’ve been pleasantly surprised using it.

You will need to update the firmware on the headset and usb dongle in order to use it to it’s full. For some, this fact alone appears to be a big issue, but I feel this is now relatively standard for IT equipment i.e. you need to keep up to date with the latest drivers, software etc.

The update of the firmware was relatively straightforward. You can update the headset directly from your mobile phone using the jabra app and the bluetooth connection. Alternatively you can download the Jabra direct software and update it that way. The usb dongle can only be updated through your PC/Mac using the jabra direct software, so if you only have a work computer without install rights then this could be annoying for you. I initially tried updating the firmware using my Mac but this failed. There appeared to be an issue with the software on the Mac, so just to be aware. I used my Windows 10 PC to upgrade the firmware without incident, it was very easy.

The sound quality on the headset is good to my ears, I am no audiophile but I can’t tell much difference to my fancy AKG headphones when listening to music. Others have complained of the volume fade up as sound starts, but I can’t say this has bothered me personally. My use case is for skype and teams calls for work and listening to music etc, but if you want to use it for dictation then maybe this will be more of an issue.

The ‘noise cancelling’ effect of the headset are pretty limited. It does not have active noise cancelling technology but rather uses passive noise cancelling such as the shape of the earpiece etc (according to their website). To be honest, I don’t notice much difference than a decent pair of over the ear headphones, so if you expect perfect silence while wearing them then prepare to be disappointed. You will likely have to spend some serious cash to get very good noise cancellation.

I’ve had no issue with connection using both the USB dongle and the Bluetooth function. I’ve tried connecting to my laptop (dongle) and phone (bluetooth) at the same time, but to be honest find this fiddly as it’s not always obvious which device you are controlling when using the buttons on the headset. For example, I wanted to turn the volume down on my PC but it changed the volume on my phone instead. When you are in an active call on one device, usually this becomes the dominant connection. But for me, it’s simpler to have it only connected to my work PC.

I bought the Microsoft teams verified version and after the firmware update is recognized as such by the Teams software. This means the central function button on the headset will call up teams, answer calls etc as expected.

The call quality has been good in use, and is as clear as my previous wired headset. Much of this is down to internet connection as much as the headset itself, so not much to report in this respect. The microphone is short and so is not located in front of my mouth as my old headset was but it picks up the audio just fine. This is actually good as you can sip water etc with the mic down.

Someone else had complained about the ergonomics of the design, but I have not has any issues. They are comfortable to wear and lightweight. They do not grip my head tightly, so if you move around a lot they will fall off, but for sitting at a computer, or walking normally around the room they are fine. Sure you can’t do HIIT wearing them, but they are not designed with that in mind.

Another reviewer had complained about the build quality, but again I can’t see much wrong with them. Sure they are made from plastic…. but most products of this type are. They are light, but this suits me as I don’t want to wear a heavy headset for 8 hours a day. My only comment is that the adjustable band appears to be medium to large in size, so if you have a small head they might not fit very well.

The battery has lasts for multiple days use after a charge, which is much longer than my other Bluetooth headphones. I have not had them long enough to comment on the robustness of the design to wear and tear or whether the charging cycle will reduce the battery life significantly, so I will update this review in a few months with comments on this.

Would I recommend them? For the price I paid for them (135) I would say they have been good. When I looked at the alternative wireless stereo headsets this was one of the cheaper options, and I think they are fit for purpose. Are you going to be blown away by them… no. They do what they’ve been designed to do, and they do it to a reasonable price point.

For working in an office/WFH where you want a wireless headset for calls and listening to music then I would recommend. For other use cases, such as gaming or exercise etc you will want to look elsewhere.

 

Pros
– Battery life is great. Not only the usage time, also the storage time with power switch off, the battery will not be obviously drained by itself.
– Sound is good, it is pretty satisfied on both sides during calls, especially compared with usual music headphones.
– Bluetooth dongle connection is smooth and fast.
– Overall built quality is good, and pouch is nicely designed with a little pocket inside to hold the usb dongle.

Cons
– Headband is too fit, needs trying different positions to let it lay on the head comfortably. However, once it is set, the comfortability is still ok for a conference session.
– Microphone boom arm turning angle is limit, it cannot be turned to another side like previous one. Also the boom arm shape is fixed, not able to adjust.
– Jabra Direct desktop app is a bit buggy, like it cannot do the update properly.

 

Utilis avec Microsoft Teams tous les jours, et parfois avec Jabber.

Les bons points :
– Le casque est agrable porter, mme 8h par jours.
– Le son est bon (mme pour la musique)
– On m’entends bien et je m’entends aussi (option active par dfaut, c’est agrable)
– Isolation passive assez russie
– Le logiciel Jabra Direct permet la mise jour du casque et sa “personnalisation” (options audio, nom, etc)
– Peut tre connect directement en Bluetooth l’ordinateur (MAIS, voir aprs)

Les points amliorer :
– Le prix, a reste un produit cher
– Si connect en Bluetooth sans utiliser l’adaptateur : les boutons ddis (Teams dans mon cas) et les LED lumineuses ne fonctionneront pas. C’est dommage de devoir absolument bloquer un port USB-C sur les 3 USB dispos sur mon ordi.
– Pas de rduction de bruit active, ou pas trs visible ni au niveau du micro ou des couteurs

 

I was expecting a product that was ok but these have exceeded my expectations. They work really well and I really like the fact it pauses sound when you put them down.

 

Been using decent quality wired headsets for years, these are an expensive step up. The audio is clear for both calls and music, battery life is good (35 hours with constant daily use). The microphone is excellent, overall a good purchase if a little pricey.
I’ve been working in a small temporary office at home with my wife, we are both loud and our calls often overlap. The mic is great at excluding extraneous noises, however, I can clearly hear my wife talking when I’m on a call and similarly my wife can hear my music or conversions (at normal levels). I had expected better noise cancelling at this price.
I didn’t buy the cradle but the USB-A (to USB-C) cable is more than adequate. I wear these most of the day and despite having a big head they sit relatively comfortably on the ear. There is a decent amount of padding around the cup and the man made fabric isn’t sweaty!
I have Bluetooth’ed to both my mobile and laptop and have had ZERO connection issues, indeed I have used every comms app out there without issue (Mainly MS Teams). It switches app, picks-up, re-connects effortlessly.
I regularly wander off to make a brew or food during calls – just turn off the video, mute by moving the boom mic up and wander off to do whatever, jump back in at any time. I like this a lot, I’ve even sat in the sun at the back of the garden 30m or so away.

5 star overall despite weaker than expected noise cancelling (btw My wife sits about 1m away)
