Jabra Evolve2 75 Headset - USB-C Link380c UC Stereo Stand Black

At our office we've had 9 or 10 pairs of the Jabra Evolve 75 headsets for a number of years, which unfortunately have seemed to start failing with the common mic issues after about 3 years. We've been replacing them as they fail at great cost.I took a chance and went for the Evolve2 65 over the 75 when replacing mine, as they are basically the same price if you shop around. Honestly, I can't say I'm particularly impressed. Yes, they are a sleeker and lighter design, which does make them quite a bit more comfortable to wear all day (I have mine on between 4-6 hours every day), but that also equates to them feeling flimsy in comparison to the Evolve 75. Also, you lose the active noise cancellation feature that the 75 has. The case is also softer and less protective ... MoreAt our office we've had 9 or 10 pairs of the Jabra Evolve 75 headsets for a number of years, which unfortunately have seemed to start failing with the common mic issues after about 3 years.

Also, you lose the active noise cancellation feature that the 75 has. The case is also softer and less protective than the older model, which may or may not turn out to be an issue (I cart mine around in my bag every day).The standard Jabra stuff is all there though, exceptional battery life, dual Bluetooth connection (which is a killer feature for us, connects and takes calls seamlessly from both PC/Teams and mobile phone with zero fuss), reliable Bluetooth which never drops out.Not a bad product from Jabra, but they could have done a little better at the price point.

Have been using a basic Jabra wired headset for some years, but craved a wireless version so I didn't have long cords to faff with during daily set-up as well as something that connected to my mobile phone for hands-free calling but most importantly, making sure I didn't sound like I was talking through a tin can and wouldn't send background noise through the call.I normally prefer over-ear style for comfort, but this ticked all the other boxes and was positively reviewed, so I took the leap and after a month of daily work use, I agree this is a great headset for video/voice calling.I have this set up with the USB "Link380" adaptor in my computer for the MS Teams functionality and Spotify listening, along with it simultaneously connected via bluetooth to an ... MoreHave been using a basic Jabra wired headset for some years, but craved a wireless version so I didn't have long cords to faff with during daily set-up as well as something that connected to my mobile phone for hands-free calling but most importantly, making sure I didn't sound like I was talking through a tin can and wouldn't send background noise through the call.I normally prefer over-ear style for comfort, but this ticked all the other boxes and was positively reviewed, so I took the leap and after a month of daily work use, I agree this is a great headset for video/voice calling.I have this set up with the USB "Link380" adaptor in my computer for the MS Teams functionality and Spotify listening, along with it simultaneously connected via bluetooth to an iPhone. This works great and the sound quality through the Link380 is great for music and calls, with colleagues mentioning this sounds far better.The only two gripes I have are:- The audio quality for bluetooth devices - this is due to only supporting the basic SBC audio codec. Works great for calls, but don't expect high fidelity for music from your phone. I had done my homework and this was accepted because bluetooth music wasn't the focus and it still sounds good through the proprietary Link380 BT adaptor, though)- My big head seems to mean the pressure on the ears is a bit uncomfortable after long periods (3+ hours). This was my concern with on-ear, but the over-ear Jabra equivalents are far more expensive. This is easily remedied with a break or two. Again, self inflicted.

Disappointed

This is probably a defective unit but Headset Advisor Support was amazing. I am glad I bought it here at HeadsetAdvisor.Second good thing is the quality is sound is amazing and ANC for speakers is also good.Now the cons: (1) The main reason I bought this Headset was for the Mic's noise cancellation. I don't want my work colleagues to put up with all the noises at end/home like Baby screams, TV in the living room, Street Cars, Wife's phone calls, even my key board or washroom faucets etc but it failed miserably. They can hear everything from my side and even worse is my voice was so bad that they can't understand at all. Updated firmware and restarted and reseted everything multiple times and made at least 50 calls from every App on my phone for over a period of ... MoreThis is probably a defective unit but Headset Advisor Support was amazing.

I really hope it's faulty unit and Headset Advisor is planning to replace it. (2) When placed on the neck the headset ear cushions are pointed outwards, What a weird design. Come-on Jabra, no one pointed this out when you were designing this? (3) Headset is not stable on my head. It can easily fall when your head is not straight. I believe this is the issue with all on-ear headset as compared to over the ear ones.Anyway, this is really bad experience but my cheap TechNet Headset which was reviewed by Drew is working like a charm.

Great comfort, low background noise management

We are currently looking for open office headphones that will block out loud projectors in our company. We watched many videos by the Headset Advisor and picked these to start with. They are incredibly comfortable, and make the audio on the users' computer very clear and crisp. However, they are still picking up and accentuating our loud talkers in the office. We have reached out to customer service to return and try a different set, but customer service has been lack-luster at getting back to us or being helpful. This headset lost a star for not combatting the background noise, and another star for lack of customer support. What good is a 30 day money back guarentee if customer service takes days to respond to your email, and it's not even helpful or getting us ... MoreWe are currently looking for open office headphones that will block out loud projectors in our company.

Great mic, great anc.

Pros: great mic quality…When you power them on, you’re informed of battery status (high, med., low)comfortable over-ear headphones…easy to fold-up mic…great anc in the earphonesCan be used via blue-tooth or plugged directly into your phone/computerCons: ‘on’ear headphones might not fit as secure as ‘over’earwhen the mic-boom is down, it feels like it should kind of lock-in to place, but it feels a little lose.When talking into the mic, it sounds like there might be a slight amount of background white-noise.Conclusion: great mic quality, versatile, light-weight. These are neck-and-neck with the Orosound Tilde Pro.

High quality, meeting expectations so far.

Like many of the reviews on the Headset Advisor site for the Jabra Evolve2-75. I am very pleased with the quality and performance of this headset after only 3 weeks of use. The overall build seems to be of quality with user comfort top of mind. It's been some time since I have used over-the-ear headphones, so the transition and feel from that of in ear buds took a few days to get used to. The ANC feature works exceptionally well, with my online contacts confirming minimal background noise, as well as great mic voice pick up and clarity. I also use the headset for listening to music via Spotify, while the sound quality and comfort remain great, I would like to have a slightly higher volume level setting permitted than my voice calls. Perhaps this is something I can ... MoreLike many of the reviews on the Headset Advisor site for the Jabra Evolve2-75.

Thanks to the Headset Advisor team and site, keep up the great work! Ps. I ordered the magnetic charging stand also, a great add-on for an efficient and clean workspace.

Jabra Evolve2 65 MS Stereo, USB-A, Black

Bought this as an upgrade from the Evolve 65 (not 2) and unfortunately its overall a downgrade, despite being constructed very nicely with premium feeling materials and a great build quality - I wanted to love it!There are 2 x major issues:Firstly, the mic is right side only, whereas the previous model could swing both ways (I prefer on the left side). Maybe not a deal breaker for some, but I just found it constantly annoying.Secondly, the previous model has a hard headband which gradually built up pressure on the top of my head and become uncomfortable after a few hours. This model has attempted to fix that with a nice soft silicon pad, however the overall more solid build (and thus weight) and stronger materials mean that between the clamping force and extra ... MoreBought this as an upgrade from the Evolve 65 (not 2) and unfortunately its overall a downgrade, despite being constructed very nicely with premium feeling materials and a great build quality - I wanted to love it!There are 2 x major issues:Firstly, the mic is right side only, whereas the previous model could swing both ways (I prefer on the left side).

I struggled to wear this headset for more than 30 mins at a time. Big sad.I also have an Engage 75 which is almost perfect, but it is tied to the dock for Bluetooth and PC connectivity, so you can't really use it for travelling. Still chasing the holy grail of headsets... Looking at the Evolve 75 it looks like it might suffer the same issues as the Evolve2 65.

Nice Headset ... but it doesn't work with TEAMS

I have heard a lot about Jabra devices and was really looking forward to this headset being the answer to my company's switch over to Teams Voice. The device was well packaged and I installed the Jabra Direct software. I immediately noticed the headset was very comfortable and the sound quality was very good.I noticed the Teams button on the right earcup and when a Teams call came in, I pressed the button ... nothing ... just a click ... no remote call control from the headset.I searched for a Jabra customer support phone number and was pleasantly surprised to find one on their site. I gave the number a call and wow, someone immediately answered the phone. The tech support person was very nice in helping me configure the Jabra Direct utility, adjust the tone, ... MoreI have heard a lot about Jabra devices and was really looking forward to this headset being the answer to my company's switch over to Teams Voice.

I gave the number a call and wow, someone immediately answered the phone. The tech support person was very nice in helping me configure the Jabra Direct utility, adjust the tone, etc but I said to her this is wonderful help, but when I touch the Teams button, it doesn't pick up a teams call.We spent about 30 minutes on the phone and she had no clue why it wasn't working. We went through her checklist and she was baffled. She had me run an advanced diagnostic tool to send to the level 2 team Sounds great right? That is when Jabra support changed to avoid and deflect mode. Time went by with no response from the Level 2 team, so I sent an email. At that point, Jabra began blaming Microsoft, my PC, everything but their product. I went to the internet and typed Jabra Evolve2 65 Remote Call Control not working with Teams and found hundreds and hundreds of posts with users having the same issue going back more than one year. Many them experiencing what I found, i.e. Jabra pointing fingers at Microsoft and walking away.If Jabra wants to say a device is Teams certified, then it should work 100% as intended. If it knowingly does not, then they should stop selling the device, or immediately determine the cause of the issue and prioritize a solution. Seeing that users have had this problem for a year is a big problem for me.If someone else had posted this information before I purchased this product, I would have saved a lot of frustration, so that is why I am writing this. If you want a device that works fully with Teams, at the time of this writing, the Jabra Evolve2 65 does not.

Not good enough

I have had very good experiences with other Jabra headsets in the past, but this product was different. Got a first pair and my voice kept floating in and out during meetings like I was increasing and decreasing volume. Performed trouble shooting with expert support until it was deemed a defective headset. Got a new pair had same problems. Looking online, others are experiencing this as well. Also, mic is hidden but requires you to grab the tip to pull it down from mute. People stated they could always hear when I was muting and unmuting with the mic position. Returning this for a different product.

Worth the 12-week wait

There are very few products I could possibly say were worth a 12-week wait, but the Jabra Evolve 2 75 is one of them. I was inspired to order one by a combination of experience with a much cheaper Jabra corded product (the Evolve 20), excellent online reviews, and the audio comparison with other SKUs done by Headset Advisor on their YouTube channel. The minute I ordered it, however, it went out of stock. But it did finally arrive 2 weeks ago, and my experience is uniformly positive. The headset is extremely comfortable even for me (I have a very large head), the sound and mix are excellent, and the adaptive noise cancellation is much more than adequate for a general office setting. It will be a couple of months until I can test it on the road. I’m not sure I really ... MoreThere are very few products I could possibly say were worth a 12-week wait, but the Jabra Evolve 2 75 is one of them.

I’m not sure I really believe the advertised battery life, but that is also much more than adequate for an office.As far as I can tell, most people should be either buying something really cheap (they just don’t use it enough), identically the Apple AirPods Pro (and maybe a decent mic) or the tip of the line Jabra in whatever form factor you like best. The mic is not perfect, but it is in the top 5-10% of your Zoom calls, and works even when you are away from your desk. If you really are podcasting, I’m sure you would prefer a dedicated and better mic, but for most other people I’m really not sure. And versatility is why this is actually worth waiting and paying for. It would be a steal for a real sale price, which we’ll only see when they can keep the SKU in stock.
