Breaking the review down into parts, here are the key things to know:
1. Sound Quality / Usability - The 40mm drivers here sound great, with clear sound both in calls and for music/entertainment. Music is reproduced accurately across it’s entirely range. The boom microphone and multiple microphone layout ensures that you can be clearly heard during calls as well. The headset is also easy to use - easy to pair, with buttons that are logically laid out.
2. Build Quality / Comfort - Jabra typically produces well-built products for the office environment and this is no exception. They feel rather built like a tank and that they will last a long time, though time will tell on that. The ear pieces are nicely padded, as is the piece that rests on your head and overall they are comfortable for extended wear.
3. Extra Features - Unlike others in this price range, this headset doesn’t sell on a bunch of features. An included Bluetooth adapter is a nice touch, as is the Microsoft Teams button, quality feeling included case and the long battery life/quick recharge - but there’s no noise cancelling to be found here, and no ability to use wired connections as an alternative.
4. Value for Money - That brings me to value for money and this is what knocks what would otherwise be a 5 star review down. This headset seems to be mostly for office users and is priced accordingly - beyond what many home uses are interested in spending - or at a price point where other options offer more attractive features.
Overall, I really enjoy this headset and will be using it a lot as our current COVID situation continues. But the way too high price takes what would be a 5 start review and drops it to 4.
My plan is to use the Plantronics Voyager Focus UC at home, and to bring the Jabra Evolve2 65 to the office, so I'll have a high quality headset at both places. They're both portable, but probably not something I want to carry back and forth often.
Packaging / What's Included
---
So the Jabra Evolve2 headset... it comes packed in a relatively small box. Inside the box is a zippered carrying bag and a USB A to USB C charging cable, along with some paperwork. Instructions are printed to the actual box. Inside the zippered carrying case is the headset along with a USB bluetooth receiver to connect to a computer.
The one notable thing missing from this package that comes with other high end bluetooth headsets is a charging stand. No charging stand here. If you want to charge it, you have to plug it in to a USB C cord. A charging stand is not only practical, it also is a more elegant way to keep the headset at your desk. A lot of offices have flexible work spaces where people don't have dedicated spaces assigned so maybe that is a reason for not including a stand. It's not that big of a deal but would have been nice.
Comfort
---
The headset is cushy, and it feels expensive and luxurious. The ear cups on the Jabra feel amazing. I think the head band on the Plantronics headset is significantly more comfortable though, especially for wearing all day. On the Jabra, even with the head band fully extended, there's pressure on the top of my head. With the Plantronics headset it feels like you don't even have a headset on it's so comfortable. It may be a different experience for different shaped heads, but when comparing Jabra to Plantronics side by side, it's really a no contest on overall comfort - Plantronics wins by a mile. Feeling like you're not even wearing a headset vs feeling constant pressure on the top of your head.
One other thing about comfort, and this is really just a very minor thing, but worth sharing. I've always preferred to have the mic on the left side. The Jabra headset does not allow this. On some headsets the mic can be flipped around so you can wear it on either ear, but on this one it is fixed in a way that only allows it to work on the right side. It's not that big of a deal but worth mentioning.
Build Quality
---
This thing seems rock solid, built well, and definitely better build quality than my Plantronics (which came from the factory with a defective headband with plastic pieces popping out of it, but it still works fine)
Sound Quality
---
When it comes to listening to music, the Jabra headset sounds pretty incredible, and better than the Plantronics. When it comes to audio for a phone call, they're about equal. I have been on a few calls where the audio has been choppy, and I've hung up and called back in and then it's fine. I haven't really had that experience with my Plantronics headset so I'm not sure if it is a fluke. Generally though, most of the time, the Jabra has sounded great.
I've asked people how I sound and they say it sounds great as well.
Ease of Use
---
When my Jabra headset is turned on/paired and I answer a call on my iPhone, every time, my phone defaults to using the phone speaker. I have to manually switch it to the Jabra headset. I am not sure why. When I answer a call with the same phone on my Plantronics headset, the phone automatically uses the Plantronics headset when I answer and I don't have to manually pick it. That could be a phone setting thing but I am not sure.
Muting the headset is pretty easy. You just tip the microphone up vertically and it tells you it's muted. It's also got a mute button on the ear cup, as well as buttons for volume up and down, and Play.
I haven't been able to test out the Teams integration yet.
Conclusion
---
Using this headset has left me pretty impressed with the sound and build quality. The Plantronics Voyager Focus UC is no slouch in sound quality though, and is way more comfortable, so that will still continue to be my headset of choice for extended phone calls. It may just be my head though, so your mileage may vary. This one will be my "travel" headset and one I'll take with me places. This one is still quite nice though. I'd give it 4 stars if the headband were more comfortable for me, and 5 if it came with a charging stand/mic was reversible for use on either ear.
The pouch is soft not a hard shell and you have to carefully place the headset inside and flip the ear cups the correct way to fit them in. I didn’t like having to dance around just to place them into a pouch.
Placing these on my head I could practically not feel them. I have a large head (it’s full of brains ,OK) and these don’t squeeze my brains out nor do they feel me uncomfortable. The earcups are small and not the kind that goes around and over your ear. These sit on top of your ear and inside of the earcups is flat. There is no opening inside where you place an ear like you could see on Bose models for example. There are tiny holes to let the sound out and I am really amused trying to figure out how can they provide noise canceling experience but they do. It may be my favorite part but I love the boom mic. It’s easy to get it out of the way by simply rotating and lining it up with the headband.
I was on the call with a group and a separate call with our CPA and attorney and experience was great. I heard everyone clearly and never once had to repeat myself. Ear cups are angled and really soft and provide much comfort. Sound is amazing for work but also for my music. All the controls are easily accesible on the earcup and no you don’t have to install an app! Just plug and go. 37 hours of battery life it took me a while to drain them. I really wanted to test if 15min charge can get you 8hrs of juice and close enough, 15min of charge lasted 7hr and 52min. This is when you don’t have time to fully charge them and fully charged battery will go for 37hours. I love everything about these other than a packaging and that storage pouch it came with. I will not deduct the star for box because I am not rating the packaging but the carrying case could be designed better.
I will concede the set is lightweight, feels comfortable over extended time frames with a reasonably adjustable padded headband. The right earcup positioned microphone can be rotated upwards to mute calls. Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be anyway to manipulate it so it isn't constantly jabbing you in the cheek when positioned for conversation. The on ear pads are soft faux leather but as such, without any sort of active noise cancellation capability and what I would consider mediocre clamping, the headset is overmatched in reduction of external sounds although from reports to me, the microphones are excellent in noise isolation so contacts cannot hear much of what is going on in my environment. Call reception quality for video conferencing software, the non-business version of Skype via Win10 laptops and telephone calls over an iPhone has been superior to any other headset I've used.
I've tried Bluetooth connectivity both with and without the 380 dongle and in all practicality, didn't detect any differences in call quality and to my frustration in both instances have experienced call interruptions where the connection has seemingly paused for a few seconds followed by a charge status advise and auto-reconnection. I haven't determined what precisely is going on with that but I can see how it could be a major issue for those depending on secure communications via this headset.
I did not evaluate actual battery life as compared to published representations of longevitity. Honestly, there is no point to discussion of audio quality. This set is geared for business communications and seem to be decent performers in that realm. Compared to any of the quality audio oriented headphones I own comparison of this SBC codec only supported set would only be a further waste of my time.
Pros:
- great sound quality (hearing the other person)
- superb mic sound isolation -- does not pick up surrounding noise, and make me sounds great
- USB-C charging
- very long battery life (3 days of active use)
- reasonably comfortable
- mic flipping up/down automatically mute the software
Cons:
- no ANC
- mic has to be on the right side
Overall -- this is a great set of headphones for working from home.
These Jabras are the best solution I have found. They are comfortable on my ears five days a week, for several extended working sessions, where I need both clarity and focus. They also allow me to be heard clearly.
The noise cancellation helps me focus without losing contact from my surroundings. And I do not raise my voice because I cannot sense my own volume and tone.
They are clearly above average for natural, detailed and full dynamic range listening to music, be it voice, rock or chamber.
The sound quality is very good.
For almost 300 dollars, one would expect active noise cancelling and this head set lacks that. Also it keeps disconnecting occasionally.
Other than that it is a good headset with very long battery life.
