    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersDon’t worry, it’s only a parrot, little bugger won’t shut up, but these headphones don’t drown him out! Luckily the sound quality is so good I can crank up the sweet tunes of the big Yeezy and the superb audio quality drives me to ecstasy.

    The only downside is that they are genuinely a bit uncomfortable, the standard Jabra evolve headphones are vastly more comfortable but broke after only a few months of usage. I’m expecting these being a different design to last much longer but just give me a bit more ear ache in the long run.

    Bought for working from home as I make lots of Teams calls. Works prefect, clear audio and everybody has said they can hear me clearly. Bluetooth works great so can walk around the house without the connection dropping.

    Amazing battery life, very light, and excellent microphones. Other people on the call say they hear no background noise and that my voice is always very clear. Great value for money.

    Good noise cancellation and am excellent sound quality. The microphone seems to work well at least I’ve had no one comment that it doesn’t ? The battery lasts well, all week with about two or three hours use per day. Would recommend.

    Very easy to use, just plug and play. Works with my work laptop with no issues, fully integrated with Microsoft Teams and when the bluetooth dongle is plugged in I can walk all over the garden and even down the street before I am out of range. Also syncs to my Android phone with no issues. Comfortable to wear for extended periods. Wish I’d bought some years ago.

    I am not a technical person but these were the easiest headphones I have ever come across to set up and use and the sound quality is terrific. Zoom calls are so much clearer and easier to manage. I wish I had brought them sooner.

    Use these a lot at the home office and they are great, sound is good, easy to connect, battery life is better than expected.
    Only thing I would say is that they can feel a little tight sometimes if you wear glasses, but overall really comfortable

    There is no ANC for this model, whether that be on listening to music or from noise reduction when connected to telephony and speaking to someone with it. On a personal note I’ve had several instances, or rather MANY instances where the other party just completely hears nothing from my end, which is very frustrating for a pair of headset of this price point.

    The Jabra 65 have surpassed my expectations soundwise. They are very clear and detailed for listening to a variety of sources and on calls. Very comfortable to wear for an extended time and the passive noise cancelling is very good.
    All around a very good pair of headphones and headset.

    These have been a great purchase as the majority of time I work from home with my wife working from home in the room next door.

    I’ve been holding off getting a wireless headset and took the plunge with Jabra. I got the monaural one so I can wear it all day, I’m on calls a lot. Supremely comfortable and a doddle to work with. I really like it that putting the mic boom up will mute the microphone, it’s totally obvious and works a treat.
    If you’re of any doubt, you can do a lot worse for more money!

    The headphones are great with great audio quality and build quality. But it does NOT have Active Noise Cancelation, it just has Passive Noise Cancellation.
    For some reason Amazon says it has ANC but it does not. Check out official Jabra Website for exact details.
    So if you’re looking for ANC heaphones this ain’t one but if you need a good quality headphones then go for this or else a be ready to shell out close to double the price.

    Before installing the software I used this headset for a couple of days, and it comes with some infuriating defaults. It’s a wireless headset so I thought I could put on some music and go make a cup of tea, but no, it has a motion sensor in it so if you wander off it’ll pause your music. It also seems to auto pause if it detects noises in the room with you, so it’s kinda the opposite of a noise cancelling headset. It cancels your music so you can listen to the noise.
    It would also answer calls when I picked the headset up. Which just meant I joined about 10s earlier than I would have, but nevertheless irritating, and it joined by default with the webcam on, so everyone got to watch me sit down and get settled.
    Oh and the robot voice lady who shouts MICROPHONE MUTED whenever you click the mute button in teams and MICROPHONE ACTIVE when you unmute. Even does it when you raise/lower the boom arm.

    After installing the software, this could all be solved. Robot lady became a subtle beep, all motion controls can get in the bin, it now works at range and doesn’t pause randomly.

    Only thing is, the software is also kinda garbage. It works fine if you don’t plug the headset into your pc to charge, because then it detects it as a new device on fitmware 0.0.0 and will remind you every 10 minutes to update. Also, if you do click update on this particular message, it’ll cause the software to soft lock with a warning that ‘disconnecting the device could damage it’ I left it for 2 hours before force closing it.

    Really good quality headset, the stand is excellent and charges the device as long as you remember to put it back, the software is really easy to use and manage the headset, it has multiple connectivity options (I have it connected to my iphone and computer so that I can take calls in either device easily hands free)

    The battery life is very good, I dont have any problems doing a full working day on the device with small charges between meetings and work, the headset is well built and comfortable to use for a long meeting or call the software is regularly updated and automatically updates itself if you want.

    The stand is very stylish and looks good as well as being practical, it doesnt slide around or move on my desk and takes up a minimal amount of space, its useful if you can to plug the dongle in where you can see it as it has a coloured LED on it that gives you info about the connection it is currently using.

    I’m very pleased with these but it was overly complicated to try and work out how the things work! You have to download a set of instructor the headphones and then another for how to charge them and they weren’t that clear. Lots of videos available but they don’t tell you what they need to know. Anyway, sound quality is grea

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersI just want to start the review making sure people are not confused by the Amazon description. This headset does not have active noise cancelling and you will hear everything around you while using it. What it will do is cancel background noise picked up by your microphone while you are talking to someone else to make sure your voice is clear.

    With that out of the way… this is a great headset, with good range and the microphone sounds slightly better than some of the competitors at this price point. I was surprised by the sound quality and it’s more than adequate to play music while working. In terms of ergonomics, it’s ok but not amazing and I can wear it for multiple hours without feeling uncomfortable. It stays in place just fine if you don’t move your head too much but it starts to fall a little if you look up and down due to its weight.

    Battery life is very good and it was extremely easy to connect to a Mac, Windows laptop and an iPad. It can hold two active connections at the same time which works great between the Windows laptop and the iPad but not that well between the Mac and the PC which seems to be a problem based on other reviews.

    The USB dongle worked fine and has a little LED light that shows whether you are muted/unmuted or in a call. The Windows software is easy to use and configure and it detected everything without problems. Updating the dongle and headset to the latest firmware versions just worked.

    It’s a premium (expensive) headset but it delivers, I definitely recommend it.

    This is a good product, started with a small “hick-up” as I thought they weren’t compatible with my work phone system (Cisco) and was a bit disappointed. But, they did work as in the end found out my system was having a “bad week” and all colleagues had issues. Took one star out for comfort.. maybe depends on everyones shape of their heads but I experienced a slight pain (I keep them positioned on my left ear) on my right side due to headband not having a foam protector (which I think its a slight oversight from makers for the cost!). Bought one separately and had it improvised (headband foam protector)! Poorly thought from that angle as this is an item that it is considered to wear for hours on end and they should’ve taken in consideration the comfort too! Quality of performance is okay and works as it is intended. Noise cancellation is okay (found that I am talking louder when in office when I have them on, ha!). Has a few features that are quite helpful, answer the phone while lowering the mic, button to say the level of battery and confirm connection etc.

    Hopefully they will last a while (have them for just over a month now) as they are quite pricey (for me anyway – I know there are some more expensive then this!).

    Integrates seemlessly into Teams. You can mute and unmute from the headset and end/answer calls. It does require a dongle plugged into a USB port on the PC – but I think you can set it up to work purely over bluetooth, but what that would do to the Teams integratiion I can’t say. I installed the JABRA software on my PC as well which allows for firmware updates. Its a Professional level bit of kit, which yes comes at a cost.

    I bought the mono version it still has the great sound and noise cancellation as the stereo counterpart the ear price is comfortable and applays equal light pressure on the ear it’s comfortable to wair all day but has some flaws the other side of there is this flat pice of plastic that over the hours digs in to your head it does have a thin piece of foam but after a few hours you really notice it I had to cut a piece of thick soft foam and use a rubbery electric tape to make my own padded cushion it worked really well I hope that future versions of this headset adop something silmar especially if it comes with a 165 price tag. The mono version does not have the busy light nor the foam head band as the other versions.all in all its a great headset with my foam mod it’s perfectly comfortable to wair all day .

    Amazing battery life 10 hour shift battery is still sitting at 88-83% each day shif

    Best purchase of the year for me by far.
    If like me you are in meetings online all day, you’ll want something reliable, comfortable, with great battery life. Don’t waste anymore time looking at others. Seriously. These are incredible.

    Sounds wise: I’m an audiophile and I rate the sound! Crisp, lovely bass, warm.
    Battery: ridiculous! It lasts for weeks. I’m not exaggerating. I was concerned about having to always recharge. Nope. They go on and on. I don’t get it. I can be in several hours of meetings, listen to some music while doing emails and then a week or so’s time it lets me know to charge it. Crazy.
    Mute: lets you know with a voice when you pull the mic up, simple, effective, quick, zero issues.
    Range: I can go from the 3rd floor to my kitchen on the ground floor and it starts breaking up. No big deal.
    Looks & Feel: People think it looks good, expensive and professional. It feels great for long periods of time. Th ears can heat up after a few hours but that’s not a big deal.

    Conclusion: just buy it. If you are on zoom all day, conferencing or need that sense of freedom with all your conversations secret, this is the one. Blown away. This is a 6 month review. No issues. Worth every penny!

    The noise cancellation and the quality of sound are both very good, the only problem is they are a bit big and heavy, and don’t stay in place easily.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersGot this to liberate myself from being tethered by a cabled headset, especially as I’d developed an ergonomic strain with suboptimal working from home set up.
    This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but I feel like it’s changed my life.
    The cushioning over the ears is so soft, mute button is conveniently placed, the battery life is long, it charges fast, looks great…I could go on.
    Highly recommended! Very pleased with it.

    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.

    I have two laptops that i switch between and use for Teams meetings. It works perfectly. Coonects quickly as soon as switched on. Sound quality is good. I like the fact that the mic feeds back to the earphone so you can here your own voice so you know it is working, and you can hear what is going on around you. The mic mutes when you move it up. It ‘unsleeps’ as soon as you pick it and connects immediately.
    They are very comfortable to wear. The mic switches on automatically as soon as you join a Teams call.
    Well worth 5 stars. I had some Sennheiser headphones which i had constant problems disconnecting from Teams, mic not working etc. These Jabra headphones just work superbly.

    Why, oh why, didn’t I but one of these sooner .. I’ve been working from home since the start of lockdown, and I’ve worked my way though maybe 3 wired headsets in that time, mainly because I’ve caught the wire and it’s broken.. This headset is absolutely awesome … the sound quality is amazing and I can get up from my desk and move around.. the battery life is outstanding and I’ve had absolutely no issues with it yet .. Highly recommended!

    These are a fantastic pair of headphones, and can travel a good distance from the laptop. Which is great, when those meetings over run I can mute myself by turning the microphone up, and go to the toilet upstairs.
    It’s only an issue if I need to talk whilst flushing, but like everyone else, I’ll claim I couldn’t find that mute button!

    The only downside, is the headband is not adjustable – so isn’t a fantastic fit over the head and ears, takes a while to get used to how to get them on correctly so they feel OK.

    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!

    Golden Review Award: 10 From Our UsersFor 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.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI’ve tried a few Headsets now without finding the right one until I bought this. It is excellent, no loss of connection, the wireless range is brilliant and best of all, the sound quality is truly high quality across all ranges.

    Also, the desktop software to adjust sound settings and preferences is really intuitive and easy to use.

    I use 8×8 unified communications as my phone line and it works perfectly, as it also does with MS Teams and for general use, such as music and video.

    I can’t stress enough how good this headset is. Well done Jabra you’ve blown the competition out of the water and you’ve now got a customer for life.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersI have used the Jabra Evolve 65 (the predecssor) for about 4 years and was on it’s way out. After speaking to some colleagues who had got the Evolve2 65, i took the plunge.

    The first improvement are the ear pads – so much softer and lighter than the original. The sound quality is also much improved using the 380a adapter. I also noticed that external noise was also reduced much more than the evolve 65.

    If you are thinking of upgrading then i would recommend the evolve2 65.

    These are expensive, especially if factoring in the cradle, BUT IMHO entirely worth the cost. I’d like me a lot of your online presence involves team meetings or phone calls, this headset really is worth it’s weight in gold. The freedom to be able to walk around the house pretty much in its entirety is fantastic. The battery really does cover the whole week working 40 hours. The mic is extremely sensitive, but having the mute button on the headset is extremely handy.

    The one downside is the mic isn’t very adjustable and can sit a bit close to your cheek, would be better if it was one of those adjustable telescopic affairs but that’s the only downside.

    Regarding the stand, it is simply a charging stand. I was hoping it would act as a Bluetooth broadcast and replace the need for the dongle but it doesn’t.

    Call quality, general media quality sound is next to nothing, excellent comfort also. Highly recommended

    It is not noise cancelling, but manual noise reduction simply by pressing against your ears. Apart from the misleading description there is one more issue, it sits on your ears rather than in or around so just relies on pressure to fit, so sometimes it can slide off, so only office use, don’t go out or do gym work with it, but it’s not designed for that. Good bits, it works really well, clear sound and good mic. MIC up mutes and syncs well with teams. If you buy it, think first what kind of dongle you want.

    Golden Review Award: 2 From Our UsersThis is a nice headset, opted for this one as the Evolve2 85 was in short supply. I primarily use this with my MacBook and this is where the problems lie. The firmware update experience on the Mac was a nightmare when you compare the ease of doing this on a Widows 10 PC. Jabra have recently updated their software so it will be interesting to see if this improves after I write this (Feb 2021).

  44. Peggy the Primal Parent says:

    A great product, well made and comfortable for wearing for long periods. I wear hearing aids that fit on my ear with amplifiers in the ear that allow sounds to pass by, and can wear mine whilst using the Jabra headset without interference or feedback. The Jabra’s fit on my ear, not over it and so hearing aids collect sounds from outside and transmit them into my ears in addition to Headset sounds. I find that I have to generally use 60-70% volume on my headsets, my previous wired headset was set at about 14% with 100% being too noisy. There is no likelihood of too noisy using the Jabra’s which I guess is a good thing and designed in, but it takes some getting used to for someone like myself who favours having a lot in reserve.

  45. Shitalesh Kannaujiya says:

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersInitially the price of this headset (and others in this price range) was slightly off-putting. Just how much better could it be than a cheaper headset or indeed my trusty wired Sennheiser. The answer is… quite a bit.

    The headset has a nice solid feel to it, with excellent padding on the ears and the headband (something frequently overlooked). As I’m generally on calls or meetings for 4+ hours in a day this is actually quite relevant. Also relevant is the (optional) audible warning and reminders when you go on or off of mute – as well as the two ways of doing this.

    Customisable functions, through an app, is a nice touch – such as turning a ‘busy’ light on the side of the headset on or off.

    Battery life has been good, I generally charge it every two to three days and I rarely let it get to a low battery warning, meaning it could probably manage most of the week without attention if I were less talkative.

    I got the option configured for MS Teams and it has been quite useful to work with some of the utility button functions built in to that. Being able to wander off and make a coffee whilst in a meeting is an unexpected bonus and doesn’t have any noticeable impact on the sound quality at about a 7-10m range.

    Would I buy one of these to see out the rest of lockdown if I didn’t plan to use it beyond that? Probably not – there are plenty of high quality wired units for around half the price. However, I got this because I anticipated using it for several years to come and, so far, there is nothing to indicate that it won’t be capable of meeting that expectation.

    Overall, it is a good investment if you expect to use a headset regularly and want something high enough quality to last well and be comfortable for extended use. There are probably better units out there but for most of us the differences would likely be splitting hairs. If you want a solid, competent effort then this is one worth considering.

    Golden Review Award: 14 From Our UsersI thiught I’d give some informative insights as I had such questions when i was looking for a headset.

    This headset has helped with the sudden spike in conference calls I’m on! And has been so useful!

    Battery usually lasts a week – which is great considering I’m on calls for about 4-5 hours a day and I also listen to a bit of background music during the day as well… It takes about an hour to fully charge, so pretty quick recharge. You can still use it whilst it’s being charged (type-c connection)

    The Mic is really good, drowns out quite a few sounds. Made more for office sounds eather than home (2 year old demanding a chocolate will be picked up!). The Mic rotates to both sides so you can place the headset on either ear.

    The Mic goes on mute if its up right and you can answers calls by either pressing the button on the headset or bring the mich down to answer the calls.

    You can also link it up to 2 devices at a time (e.g. laptop and mobile phone). Although only use one at a time.

    The headset lights read when I’m on a call. Purple when I’m not.

    The teams function is purely to answer calls and end calls using the button on the headset. It’s been useful when I’ve had my headset on and I’m making tea or changing a nappy, i just press the teams button or bring the mic down.

    You don’t need to use the USB dongle, you can connect via Bluetooth but the dongle enables the additional features (mic answering, teams functions etc).

    I was a bit conscious about the price, but it’s a great investment given that I’ve used it everyday for almost a year now! It comes with a charging cable and a carry pack.

    After an uncertain 24 or 48 hours getting to grip with the headset (and notably the simultaneous connection to two devices), I can now wholeheartedly recommend this based on my experience. The headset is very comfortable, robust, and a pleasure to use for calls. I wear glasses which is sometimes inconvenient with large “ear covering” headsets, it is not an issue at all with this model. I love it, a real feel good addition for those WFH days!
    Don’t expect noise cancellation though, this is more a noise “isolation” at all times when you wear it.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersIncredible! I have upgraded from the original Jabra Evolve 65 wireless headset and WOW, what a difference!
    The original 65 catastrophically lacks speaker performance when listening to music…..think of a Bluetooth speaker from Poundland. However the Evolve2 65 maintains a dramatic, positive change. Perfect operation on Windows 7 and Windows 10 laptops for Microsoft Teams. Far better coverage, battery life and sound quality. But most of all….comfort for those who have a headset on allllllll day. During the deals on Amazon, I spent an extra 30 between the two headsets and that it the best 30 I’ve ever spent!

    Crystal clear voice heard from callers (On Both ends), but also great for music as well.

    Highly recommend.

    Sure, they’re a bit pricey but hey. I’m in lockdown. And I’m working all hours godsends – and usually sat on video calls a few hours a day, so why not spend a few quid?

    I was really wary over on ear rather than over ear but they fit snug and they’re kinda soft and padded just right. Sure, they run a bit warm on long (1-3h) calls from my own body heat against the pads but that’s fine.

    Battery life is really good. I’ve got a usb-c cable on the desk for my iPad anyway so I just plug them in every few days.

    The jabra desktop software (I’m using Windows 10) is good, easy to understand and is often updated – on install there was a big firmware update and yesterday there was a big software update. I tweaked quickly to set sleep to 30 minutes (instead of 8h), favoured bass, and turned on intelligent noise cancelling.

    Build quality is exceptional. I bought two pairs and both myself and my wife love them. Even coming with a carry case which is a nice touch.

    And finally, fit. If you think of Bart Simpson, I’ve got a similar shaped head. Let’s say it’s not that small. And these fit well. Sure, I’m on the end of where they extend but I don’t notice any pinch, etc and I’m happy with them.

    Oh, another finally (that’s just wrong) – I’ve been told sound quality to the recipient is good, and call quality for me is superb – the best I’ve ever had.

    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.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersAfter owning the Jabra Evolve 40 wired headset and being quite happy with, I thought I’d up my game with a decent wireless headset.

    Setup was easy enough, did all the firmware updates and the headset initially appeared to work fine.

    Then the problems….

    1 – When joining a Teams call the volume jumps to 96%, regardless of what I changed it to. I have attempted adjust the volume in every place I can find within Windows 10 with no luck. I have an ongoing support case with Jabra.

    2 – A new issue I’ve found this morning when on an call, if I receive multiple teams messages while on the call it will kill the audio to the headset, yet keep me on the call. The only way to resolve is to leave the meeting and rejoin. Another ticket to raise to Jabra.

    Currently unimpressed when I had such high expectations from someone such as Jabra, and of course having a high purchase price.

    I’ll update when I have further news.

    UPDATE – 04/11/20

    Changed from 1 to 4 stars.

    So a software update for Jabra direct was released last week. This software is used to manage and tweak the settings of the Jabra headset. Installing this update seems to have resolved the volume issue (phew).

    The busy light on the side also appears working (when it wasn’t before).

    I have also plugged the dongle (Jabra Link 380) used by the headset to talk to the laptop from the docking station hub to the laptop, and since haven’t suffered any call drops (so far).

    I’ll post another update once I’ve trialled the headset for a longer period.

    Golden Review Award: 5 From Our UsersBefore 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.

    I can’t recommend this headset highly enough. In the past I’ve used the Voyager Legend for my calls but that was mainly for when I was slightly more mobile with work. After 5 years of using that happily, it gave up the ghost and so I was forced to look for a new headset. Seeing as I’m mainly desk based at home now, I thought I’d go for an over the head set and bought a cheap one with a mic boom to see how it was. NOT GOOD is the answer. Everyone thought i was in the car and the call quality was terrible. Now that I’ve bought the Jabra, everyone is commenting on how great the call quality is and how clear my voice is! It’s comfortable, has a great battery life, and most importantly, the call quality is amazing! If you’re at your desk on the phone for most of the day then this is the headset for you!

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersSince working from home and spending a lot of time on the phone I’ve tried a number of headsets. These are the best I’ve used by a mile. Sound quality is excellent. One & only minor issue is you have to bend the microphone away from your mouth, and it slowly bends back.

    Full of really great touches – separate buttons for mute and volume mean no accidentally hanging up on calls. Power switch is an on/off slider, so I don’t have to hold a multifunction button wondering when it’s actually off. When you turn it on a voice tells you the battery status. Lifting the microphone mutes the call (and the voice confirms it). Really really thoughtful design.

    All the other headsets are going to recyc, as my WFH setup is now this headset and a similarly excellent Jabra 510 speakerphone. In fact the speakerphone is so good it’s why I looked at their headsets.

    Thoroughly recommended.

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersI work from home, and a lot of the times need to be on the phone, and have been quite frustrated with the work supplied headset (also a Jabra product) which is wired, and keeps me fixed to the desk. So you can only imagine how happy I was when I got my hands on these, totally flipped my lid, so to speak.
    Sound Quality – perfect! Everything sounds so much better. Plus, they double as my music headphones, no need to switch anymore.
    Feel/Look factor – Look sexy and feel so silky smooth on the ear. My partner was asking if they were the Bose pair, cause they look amazing.
    Battery Life – Only need to charge then once every 2 days or so, they can go for about 30+ hours with no issues.

    Make sure you get the app so you can keep the system up to date. And please go out and get yours, its pricey but SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO worth it!!!

    Works very well with incall performance in MS Teams. I know as i use teams all day every day. Button intergation for teams is excellent. Sound and mic quality v good as is battery life. Week 3 with these and not re charged yet. Worth the money as competition is limited.

    Update….wk 4

    The dedicated MS Teams button WILL NOT WORK. it should answer calls and hang up but it wont!!! I think its a Microsoft issue rarther tan Jabra so i wont knock a star off. If you can get it to work please say!!

    Works with MS Teams ( to a point)

    I was nervous to purchase this with the number of negative reviews but I’m a week in and haven’t had any issues. I am not using the base station for it and just connecting the the computer directly via Bluetooth.

    Pros
    Good quality build, looks great
    The audio range is incredible, I’ve tried it across my whole flat, about 10m max and haven’t really lost signal
    The mute button and mute on boom are really nice features

    Cons
    Had to crank up the volume in the settings as the microphone is super quite. It’s now at max and just about ok.
    Not comfortable to wear after 3 hours or so. I need breaks.
