Хорошая модель
- + -Долгое время работы
-Хорошее качество шумоподавления микрофонов, выдерживает тест пылесосом рядом с вами
-Нормальный активный шумодав, не уровня Sony, Bose, иногда ошибается, но офисные звуки неплохо приглушает
-Хорошее качество звука, как музыки, так и голоса, но есть НО, читайте про недостатки
-Удобная зарядная база
-Хорошее приложение для телефона, возможность держать одновременно коннект и с компьютером, и с телефоном
- Приятный пластик, очень удобные амбушюры, голова за 8 часов конфколлов не устаёт - - - Прошивка, обновлять сразу, у гарнитуры, у Link 380, у зарядной станции -- только новые прошивки решают болезни устройства
- Bluetooth, протокол связи не позволяет одновременно передавать в высоком качестве голос и музыку, стоит понимать, что устройство может работать в двух режимах Гарнитура/Наушники, в режиме Гарнитура работают все 10 микрофонов, гасятся внешние шумы, вас прекрасно слышно даже в шумном помещении, но! качество звука "с той стороны" адаптировано для голоса, не для музыки. В этот режим устройство переключается каждый раз, когда задействован микрофон (не замьючен, а именно задействован), как только обращения к микрофону прекращается, жабра переключается в режим НАУШНИКИ и качество звука возвращается к хорошему, объёмному. Если у вас ВСЕГДА низкое качество...

Очень плохая модель
- + Долгое время работы
Приличный звук для музыки и шумодав
В холодное время заменяет шапку ) - - Все, что уже ранее перечислили - чудовищно сырая и глючная прошивка.
Уже год ее использую, в основном, как наушники для музыки и подкастов. На встречах стараюсь не использовать, т.к. коллеги дружно требуют ее уничтожить.
и я с ними согласен.
Абсолютно не соответствует своей стоимости. Предыдущая была проще, но несравнимо надежнее.

- + Неплохое шумоподавление, удобные
- - Отвратительные драйвера. Наушники соединяются с компьютером через раз, с каждым обновлением драйверов что-то перестает работать. Постоянно вылетают, отваливаются. Наушники определяются как два аудиоустройства...

Плохая модель
- + Дизайн и решение с микрофоном действительно удачные. Заряжается быстро, относительно лёгкая и не ощущается на голове чем то инородным. Можно проходить весь день не чувствуя усталости.
- - Очень сырая прошивка. Глюков было просто немерянно, от того что не подключается к родному стику до постоянных обрывов и перескакивании источников. Сейчас стало лучше, но все равно остались не решены некоторые вопросы. Сравнивал качество звука через родной стик, блютус и usb проследний лучше всего, через стик худший результат(это вообще как? ). И в целом звук по сцене и качеству сливает более простой моделе от plantronocs focus uc. Запаса громкости тоже может быть недостаточно, например в метро. Разряжались несколько раз в 0 за ночь если переключатель не отключить, функция засыпания стояла, но видимо это не помогло. Еще кнопки интуитивно не понятны, почему не догодались сделать крутилку на ухе для звука, приходиться каждый раз нащупывать правильную, а под пальцами они все одинаковые. И кончено качество...

Ужасно
Очень плохая модель
- + Сложно сказать, что мне в ней понравилось, пожалуй внешний вид, комплектация (кейс, проводки, переходник для самолета, радио модуль, док станция-зарядка). Не плохо работают с 2мя источниками, переключаются быстро. Удобная большая кнопка снятия трубки. Все.
- - Все ужасно.
1) Качество музыки ужасное, как в наушниках за 3 тыс. Низов нет как класс. Голос правда звучит хорошо.
2) Всегда нужно вытаскивать микрофон-палку, я думал это делать это для топ звука, типа в супер шумных местах и тп, но нет. Встроенные микрофоны вообще не работают, меня никто не слышит. Звук со высунутой палкой нормальный, на уровне тех же встроенных микрофонов у конкурентов, например.
3) Постоянно глючит в MS Teams, если делаешь mute с помощью кнопки на наушниках...

I've used many, many brands of headphones because my husband collects them. These headphones weren't really my favourite in terms of design and sound quality. I found the quality was pretty fair, but I had expected more for the price. The sound cancellation was also lacking for me. Especially for calls I do wish the noise cancelling was better. As other people have said it's quite a large design physically. It's large and heavy. Wearing then for a long period of time does bother my head and neck. Overall I'm giving it a 3 out of 5 because I find the headphones lacking overall for the price.

4 1/2 stars, half a point taken off because of the microphone picking up everything in the next room or rest of the house!
I am impressed. To me, the Jabra name has always been connected with the office and phone-only headsets and prior to this, I've had the opportunity to try out one of their headsets that's made for listening to music first and then being used for phone calls as a second option. The first time I used them it was VERY impressive. In the last number of weeks, I've only discovered one thing that's not so great about them. With this headset, the company has definitely entered the world of high-end audio headsets.
I prefer to really use something before writing a review. I don't like reading reviews where someone opens the box, listens to a headset for 5 minutes, and then writes a review, that doesn't help me make a decision.
Listening to tunes:
It doesn't matter what I listen to, pop, jazz, classical, rock, country, and even the odd bit of opera everything sounds crisp, clear, and from the deepest bass to the highest end, it all sounds excellent. In fact, I can't find a single thing to complain about when used for listening to music.
► The Jabra app offers excellent equalization options but I still use the equalizer app I have on my phone in addition to the Jabra app. Even after just pairing and listening to music I didn't need to make any changes, the Jabra app was not yet installed. Once the headset was paired I set the equalizer app to flat so I could get a real understanding of how it was engineered to sound vs. what it might sound like after I make changes.
► I have absolutely no problem comparing this to high-end headsets I already own such as Bose, Sennheiser, Sony, Panasonic, etc.
► This headset provides a very immersive experience, especially with the nice canceling on.
Noise-canceling:
► Since this is an over-the-ear headset the muffs alone do a good job of keeping external noises out. The extremely soft foam used in the muff's form fit the head in the areas around the ears and does an excellent job while not making it feel like there is a vise clamped onto my head.
► The app also has options for noise-canceling which works as well as any I've ever experienced.
Phone calls:
Even with the small fold-down boom mic the microphone still picks up far too much background noise, when used on phone calls the people I'm talking to hear everything! Numerous times while on calls I was asked if I could use something else since the background noise was too distracting. For me, this is really disappointing as I need a headset that can be used for both listening to tunes and phone calls. Switching between to headsets just doesn't make sense. For this reason, the headset only gets a 4-star rating.
► The Jabra app does allow for some call customization but it's only for what I hear, it's called Sidetone - where I hear myself through the headset. When set up to do so I can definitely hear the noise my callers are referring to.
► There is no adjustment for the microphone sensitivity.
Jabra app - this is an easy 5 stars:
This app is far ahead of any other audio headset makers that I've been able to use over the years. The app has really impressed me. Maybe I'm missing something with other manufacturers but this is the first time I've had a headset app that actually tested my hearing, each ear separately, and then set up a personalized listening experience. I know I have some degradation in both ears and it's not the same so being able to compensate for each ear made a big difference. I can still use the equalizer app I have and do, but the Jabra app still runs to provide the baes experience.
Battery performance:
Jabra claims a 37-hour battery life and in my experience over the last several weeks of use, this is darn accurate. I don't know that I've been able to accurately track each hour but when I don't have to charge it for over two weeks when I use it for a few hours each evening. That means in the last 8 weeks I've only needed to charge it at most four times. This is far better than I've experienced with other big brand name options.
General use:
The buttons can be a little difficult getting used to, after. It took me about a week to find them by feel. The problem is that the plastic cup they are mounted on has a thin edge and I kept feeling for them on the much wider muff.
Storing them:
These are fold-down muffs which makes storing them a little easier even when not using the supplied carry case.
► The swivels used are metal and sturdy, this is not a cheaply constructed headset. And, even though the swivels are metal the whole headset is still light enough to feel comfortable even when wearing it for hours at a time.
If only the headset would be set up so that the microphone provided real noise-canceling this would be a solid 5 stars. Considering how long Jabra has been making phone headsets I really expected them to do a better job in this area.

I've been working from home for several months now. with 85% of my day spent in their meetings or on calls.
The headphones are both comfortable and feature packed, since getting them there has been two firmware updates improving the reliability of them
Battery: I was surprised that Jabra did not inflate the battery numbers as much as most tech companies do. I can easily get two full days of use out of these. And the charge speed allows me to simply plug them in on my lunch if need be.
Sound quality: these are work first headphones so the sounds quality reflects this, the dynamic range is nothing out of the ordinary for higher end headphones but the speech clarity is impressive, especially when the additional "speech" mode is enable via app or software.
Mic quality: The mic quality is quite impressive as long as there is no interference. The boom arm does a good job at reducing background sounds and focusing on your voice, even the earcup microphone is good. In testing i made phone calls while on a street with passing cars the caller was not able to hear the passing cars or able to hear a car rev before the green light. interference wise, depending on your setup, i have noticed if the range of the headphone to the phone/receiver is distant the caller receives a more compressed audio sound, while i was not able to hear a difference in their voice, my voice was not as clear to them.
Comfort; The headphones are heavier, but comfortable. i have larger ears and they do sit over the ears properly still. Depending on your preferences you may find them too heavy to wear all day
App/software; the app and computer software are simple enough to use, apps are done from within the programs and you can change settings such as auto answer or pass through.
The Anc is quite good, and the hear-through is simple enough to use. I generally work with ANC on as it blocks out other sounds. If you are using this for mainly calls, I like to have side tone enables, this feeds you voice into your ear to make it sounds more natural with the ANC on.
Overall these are certainly work first headphones, with music features coming second. The audio quality for average person is excellent and the noise cancelling is on par with other higher end headphones. The retractable boom are makes is possible to switch from work mode to music mode without much work or looking out of place while walking down the street. The headphones essentially replace two different headphones. One high end work one and a mid to high end music headphones. If you need both for life this is a great combination. if you don't need one or the other there are other options out there that allow you to focus on either work or music only, and save a bit of money.
Overall very happy

These are amazing headphones that deliver an great user experience. They are light-weight and extremely comfortable, the over-the-ear design allows it to fit perfectly over my ears without causing discomfort, even after hours of use.
The sound quality of the Jabra Evolve2 85 is superb. It has a wide frequency response, with the perfect amount of bass and tremble. Sound played through the headphones is excellent, and calls are crystal clear. The call feature works very well, people can hear me clearly and without distortion. I really like how moving the mic down will answer calls, and the busy light is a great way of informing people that I am on the phone.
Connectivity is excellent. The Jabra Evolve2 85 connected quickly on the first try and reconnected automatically when turned on. The bluetooth connection is strong and very reliable. The noise cancellation works perfectly, especially since it’s coupled with the over the ear design, making this an effective headset for loud environments. All the controls are logically placed and easy to work with. The battery life is one of the best aspects of these headphones, lasting an easy 30+ hours and being charged by USB-C. It also comes with a great carrying case that is very protective and no larger than it needs to be.

Pros: comfortable, decent active noise cancelling, high quality, good for calls/digital meetings, long battery life, smart standby capabilities, good case
Cons: some issues with linking to the bluetooth dongle to connect to PC, bulky and not the most attractive-looking, you will hear some noise through the ANC
Full Review:
First impression: well-made, high quality headphones. The earcups are soft and very well insulated. They block a lot of noise all on their own. The appearance of the headset is a bit lacking – they are VERY bulky and jut out from the head at a harsh angle. These headphones are meant more for the workplace and the appearance reflects that. I don’t expect to see many of these hanging around people’s necks while riding the train or bus.
Sound: Good and somewhat customizable using the Jabra Direct app on the PC. I had to up the bass and mids a bit to get a sound profile I liked.
Noise cancelling: so-so. With Active Noise Cancelling on, it does create a quieter atmosphere, but you can definitely hear outside noises. I can hear my keyboard clacking to a certain extent. Voices will come through but muffled. I find the ANC does a good job of blocking out TV/stereo noises from other rooms and general outside noise that could be otherwise distracting, but it still lets some noise through.
Comfort: These headphones are a bit hefty, but they are well padded and quite comfortable. The earcups are nice and squishy and there’s substantial padding on the headband as well.
Syncing to phone and taking calls: Bluetooth connection to iPhone was fast and fuss-free. Picked up a call no problem by lowering the mic boom. Red lights on the front and back of the headphones light up to show you are ‘busy’ while in a call. At first I was having problems because I didn’t realise the mic boom needs to be lowered and then rotated towards your mouth. If you do not rotate the boom towards your mouth your voice will sound muffled to the caller. Once I sorted that out, my call went forward with no issues and the person on the other end could hear me great.
Syncing to PC and using Zoom: this is the first thing I tried with theses headphones and it was a bit of a challenge. The headphones come with a USB Bluetooth dongle called “Jabra Link 380”. Out of the box the dongle and the headphones are supposed to be linked and it should just be plug and play according to the manual. Not so. The PC recognized the dongle but no connection to the headphones no matter what I tried. On top of that as I was trying to connect there was a lot of snapping noises, popping sounds and volume issues that were really aggravating. If you run into this, you need to download Jabra Direct and run the firmware updates on both the Jabra Link 380 dongle AND the headphones. Then a bunch of disconnecting/reconnecting from the headphones and some PC restarts should do the trick to get things working seamlessly. It was a bit of a frustrating start with a lot of fiddling around, but now that things are running, these headphones really shine. Once everything was running properly all I had to do was open Zoom and the headphones were good to go. Occasionally if there are issues you may need to switch audio output/input to the Jabra headphones both on the PC in general and in Zoom. I didn’t have any issues with this, and my mic test went great. To date I have not had any issues with the mic cutting out or not being heard when using the Jabra headphones.
Smart standby features: I really like this actually. If someone is trying to talk to me while I have music playing through the headphones, I will frequently push one of the ear cups backwards off one ear to talk to them. The headphones detect this and the music pauses. If I take the headphones off and place them down on my desk, the headphones also detect that and the music pauses. I find this feature to be pretty handy and convenient!
Battery life: really good and fast to charge. Lives up to long battery life claims.
Other: the carrying case is good quality and a nice way to keep all the bits and pieces organized, including the little tiny pocket for the Jabra Link 380 dongle so it doesn’t get lost or damaged.
Cons: some issues with linking to the bluetooth dongle to connect to PC, bulky and not the most attractive-looking, you will hear some noise through the ANC

One upside to the current pandemic is it has forced many industries to quickly adopt new technology and make themselves more portable. One of the best decisions that my employer has made recently was implementing Microsoft Teams.
I often find myself in technical discussions for many hours a day, so a nice comfortable headset is exactly what the doctor ordered. These are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and have adequate cushioning. The ear cups seal around my ears well, but do not have such huge clamping pressure that it feels like my brain is being squeezed. I have worn these for 5 hours straight without removing them, and I did not have any complaints about sweating or other discomfort.
Setup was very straight-forward. The Jabra Link adapter was instantly recognized by my Windows 10 computer, and within a minute I had my new headphones paired. I was able to set these up with Microsoft Teams and Cisco Jabber easily. The default sound profile sounded good to me, however you are free to adjust your computers equalizer to fine tune your sound.
The one thing I was not super impressed with was the audio quality of the microphone. For a product that was optimized for Microsoft Teams, the audio quality is just okay. I would say it is good, however for an almost $600 pair of headphones I would have expected a bit more detail. My colleagues did not have any complaints about the audio, but these definitely aren't as good as a standalone microphone.
I often find myself in technical discussions for many hours a day, so a nice comfortable headset is exactly what the doctor ordered. These are very comfortable to wear for long periods of time, and have adequate cushioning. The ear cups seal around my ears well, but do not have such huge clamping pressure that it feels like my brain is being squeezed. I have worn these for 5 hours straight without removing them, and I did not have any complaints about sweating or other discomfort.

The Jabra Evolve2 85 are marketed as business headsets (for communications) first and foremost and headphones (for music) second.
As a headset, they’re fully featured. They’re also expensive, with a big chunk of the premium likely attributed to the active noise cancellation (I find ANC easily adds at least $100 to the price of any headset/headphones/earbuds).
While this headset can do double duty as headphones, if your primary use is for music, you are better off buying headphones, since it’s quite clear that a significant portion of the cost of this headset went into the communications feature set. A music only set of headphones at the same price will likely put this headset to shame for audio quality.
This particular model has some additional integration with Microsoft Teams, which I was not able to test because Microsoft’s site kept throwing errors when I tried to register. The headset can also integrate with Zoom as well (requires installation of Jabra desktop application).
In terms of the headset, there’s a little pop-out boom microphone which has some nice capabilities, like drop down to answer a call, pop up to mute. There’s a call button on the right ear cup that can be used to answer or hang up a calls, and a “busy” light that works with Teams to let people around you know you’re on an active call.
I found the microphone quality on my PC to be inconsistent depending on what application was used. When I used the Skype test call feature, recorded audio from the microphone sounded much worse on playback than the microphone I have on my desk. When I used tested it with Windows Voice Recorder or Audacity (audio recording software), however, it sounded very good to my ears. It obviously isn’t as good as the cardioid microphone on my desk, which has a large capsule and is drawing power from my computer, but it's pretty good all things considered.
When using the headset with a Windows PC, I found that I had to use the boom mic, even though you’re supposed to be able to use the other microphones on the earcups when the boom is retracted.
The headset itself is very comfortable, and the clamping force is not too strong, which is good for long usage sessions. I did find that prolonged use of the headset made my ears hot, but your mileage may vary. The padding is really comfortable.
The active noise cancellation (ANC) is really good. I’ve never tried Bose or Sony headsets, which are supposed to be best in class for ANC, but compared to my Plantronics BackBeat 2, the Jabra is an order of magnitude better. They do a really good job, although that “sucking” sensation in your ears that ANC tends to create takes getting used to. I have the bad luck of living behind a restaurant with a rickety exhaust fan that sounds like an idling semi, and when I tested it against that racket, it eliminated most of the noise.
In terms of sound quality, it’s very good out of the box, and even better if you install the Desktop or Mobile app, which lets you adjust equalization to suit your tastes. The bass is pretty good, and the overall music sound is excellent.
Wireless range is very good - I was able to go 30 feet without dropouts, and battery life is claimed to be over 30h. This headset comes with a stereo 3.5mm wire (and a dual pin airplane converter) which allows you to use this headset as headphones (the microphones won’t work). Given the flimsiness of the cable and its limitations, it seems obvious to me that it’s a courtesy feature (and not a major feature), given that the primary usage intent for this headset is for wireless usage.
This headset is quite expensive (easily my biggest complaint), but on the other hand, it's designed for people who are going to use them day in and day out at the workplace, and with the feature set offered, I think this is a pretty good headset, despite its quirks and imperfections.
The Good Parts
- A full featured headset with enterprise users in mind. To me, they feel well designed, well made and of good quality.
- The ear cups are very comfortable and the clamping is very light but strong enough to stay in place.
- Excellent Active Noise Cancellation
- Good battery life, rated for 30+h of life. 15 minutes of charging can yield 8h of battery life.
- Desktop/Mobile applications enhance user experience as well as listening experience with the headset
- Supports wired listening (power needs to be on though), also comes with a dual pin airplane adapter. While the wire is included, it clearly appears to be a “nice-to-have”, as this headset is designed primarily for wireless use.
- When using the included dongle, no pairing is required on a PC (the headset is pre-paired with the dongle)
- The boom microphone is mutes a conversation when lifted up
- HearThrough feature lets you hear your surroundings without taking off the headset
- Nice zippered clamshell case
- Was able to move 30 ft away from the PC/mobile device without any dropouts
- The earpieces can rotate so they fold flat. The left side has an additional hinge to make the headset’s folded position even more compact.
- USB-C charging port (as opposed to micro-USB), cable included
- Can be docked for charging - dock is not included in this bundle, but can be purchased separately
Hit or Miss
- Optimized for Microsoft Teams and Zoom - would be nice if more applications were added, like Slack.
- The USB dongle lights up to let you know connection status, but depending on your PC setup, it might be out of sight. The Jabra PC software does not have a taskbar indicator that does the same thing.
- The dongle is easily lost.
- Boom microphone position is not very adjustable compared to a gooseneck style microphone
- My ears got a little hot after prolonged use.
- The “sucking” sensation in your ears when Active Noise Cancellation is enabled can be a little offputting (common to most headphones with ANC), although you will eventually get used to it.
- Microphone performance on PC can be inconsistent, depending on application used
- The Mobile app lets you save equalizer presets, whereas the Windows version does not
- The dongle doesn’t appear to be a universal Bluetooth dongle. It communicates with the headset wirelessly but it is recognized as a normal two-way audio device by my PC. You cannot use the dongle as a bluetooth dongle to connect to devices like a mouse.
- A little too easy to trigger playback buttons while handling the headset
- Controls are with physical buttons and not touch. This is a subjective preference thing, so your mileage will vary.
Not So Good
- The 3.5mm audio wire is for music listening only, it does not support using the headset’s microphones. The wire is also flimsy, I expected a little better for the price, even though the headset is designed primarily for wireless use.
- No manual in the box
- Pricey

The Jabra Evolve2 are quickly becoming my go-to headphones around the house. They’re extremely comfortable on the ears, the audio quality is great, and they never seem to suffer from connectivity issues. They’re good all-around headphones with only a few small issues (and one big issue that most people probably won’t care about).
The noise cancellation is very easy to use, and has two different options. It’s activated by a button that is set apart from the rest of the controls, making it easy to find. Press it once to activate “hear-through” mode, which allows you to better hear people around you even when you have both headphones on your ears. Pressing it a second time will activate the actual noise cancellation feature, which blocks out pretty much all background noise. It’s extremely effective, and a great option when working in a crowded environment. Even when you're just wearing them, they block out noise so well compared to other over the ear headphones I've used.
Compared to the smaller in-ear bluetooth headphones I use most of the time, the two big differences with the Jabra Evolve2 are the battery life and the audio quality. The battery life is about 37 hours, which is probably a week or more of listening for most people. Even if you use headphones 8 hours a day for work you can still go almost the whole week before you need to recharge, which only takes a few hours thanks to the USB-C charging port. Meanwhile the audio quality here is pretty fantastic, definitely a huge step up from the cheaper headphones I was using previously.
There’s an app you can download to adjust things like your sound profile and to turn on and off some options. Some of the default options that are built-in are very useful (bringing down the microphone arm answers a call automatically for example) while others are very frustrating to use. One option I had to turn off right away was the feature that pauses your music when the headphones are taken off your head. This is great in theory but the technology is not accurate, and would often pause anytime I moved my head or stood up. If you hate this feature as much as I did, you will be forced to download the app in order to turn it off, which is a bit of a pain.
The microphone is both very clear and has an interesting design. It can be stored away by folding it up against the right side of the headphones, or you can leave it down if you prefer. It’s very clear for both phone calls and recording, though it isn’t quite as good as a proper standalone microphone. It’s definitely sufficient for work calls and most audio recording.
One of the only major problems I have had with these headphones is an issue I have seen with a lot of Bluetooth headphones. When you first start playing audio, the first second or two will be silent, and only after that will it begin to play normally in your ears. For someone listening to music this might not be a big issue, as it only happens when you pause and then start audio. But if you’re listening to something that requires you to listen very carefully (editing audio for example) this can be a very frustrating issue to deal with. Not all Bluetooth headphones suffer from this, and I’m very surprised that these are having that same issue. Considering the price, this might be a deal-breaker for some people. If you need headphones for video or audio editing you definitely want to look elsewhere.
It's obvious these are designed for people who work from home, probably in a customer-based, or meeting heavy industry. Between the long battery life, comfort, ANC and cool and easy to use microphone, these are ideal for anyone who needs headphones for the whole work day. If your field needs audio editing, these won't be for you, but for other at-home workers, these are a slam-dunk.

[PRODUCT EXPERIENCE]
➔ The Jabra Evolve2 85 MS Wireless Headphones offers a premium unboxing experience - a gorgeous carry care, audio and charging cable, along with a USB A and flight adapter. The headset is built tough and feels extremely high quality in the hands and in my opinion, better than the latest Sony and Bose NC headphones, which I have both handled (Sony XM's over-ear NC are my daily drivers for comparison).
➔ I tested this Jabra headset for 5-days straight during a 40-hour workweek, as we utilize MS Teams all throughout the day for meetings and sometimes Zoom calls with our existing clients. One thing I noticed immediately was the microphone quality and even receiving compliments on the clarity from my co-workers. I have quite a wide variety of mid-high price headphones/headsets and this Jabra model is by far the best call quality out of all of them.
The noise cancellation works exceptionally well - to compare, the Sony NC XM's are better (but Sony's microphone is garbage); the Bose QC35's slightly beat it. I would place the Jabra at third place, but it's very close and you would only notice the difference by using all 3 headphones in a row, which I did for the purpose of this review.
Throughout my usage, I had zero connectivity issues - no lag, no disconnects, everything worked perfectly.
➔ The downside is the size of the earcups - I'm a 6'4" guy with a fairly large head; I found the earcups to okay, but after prolonged usage, I would sometimes take small breaks. To compare, the Bose QC35 I can keep on my head for 8 hours and I would often forget I even have them on due to the lightness and massive earcups that can accommodate everyone. The Sony XM3's require breaks because the earpads are not thick enough and the ears touch the inner speaker area. In ranking order, the Jabra would be almost tied with the Sony's - both have flaw in the comfort department for long term usage.
[FINAL THOUGHTS] ★ ★ ★ ★
👉 An excellent headset for TEAMS and ZOOM audio/video calls; one of the best performers for crisp audio and microphone quality on the market.

Very impressed with this headset, very comfortable, good external sound suppression. The battery lasts a very long time. So far I haven’t used the microphone or the associated controls but as Jabra has been in the phone headset business for quite some time I’m sure it is a joy to use.
The unit comes in a heavy weight box with controls/features illustrated. I thought the Bluetooth dongle (standard USB sized) was missing, I looked in the included storage case several times till I finally noticed a little tab of ribbon, pulled it and there was the dongle.
I love this headset and I plan to find out if it can be used wirelessly with my ham radio transceiver. The only real negative I can think of is that there is no place to safely store the dongle, I’d like to see a compartment on the headband or if there is room in one of the ear cups would be great.

Good battery life and decent sound. Found the noise cancelling to be just moderate and have other headphones that do a better job. My husband likes to wear these headphones to listen to music since it frees him up to continue to doing the many projects/chores around the yard. He likes to wear these inside the enclosed tractor cab to cut down on noise and also connect BT to the tractor’s radio and/or his cell phone. The microphone folds nicely into the side of ear cup and therefore don’t get in the way when not needed. Clarity is strong when using it to talk on his phone. The ear muffs are comfortable but find the headphones are on the heavy side. With the head band extension they do fit over a cap which is what my husband wears regularly. No manuals included and headphones are pricy.

I like these Jabra Evolve2 85 MS Wireless Headphones with Link380a, however the Link 380A did not come with the headphones nor did the stand. I contacted the company and they told me they could not assist me, since I bought it from another distributor. So the headphones are good. But without the Link I cannot use with my Windows 10 laptop. I can use with cellphone and other devices, but not Windows. So I am very disappointed. Otherwise excellent sound quality, excellent noise cancelling and very comfortable. I have not used the mic since I cannot connect to my laptop. So not sure how it works. Over good product needs better support from company regarding their products.

For a premium price I expect a premium experience. At least two advertised features do not work: Sidetone and Hearthrough. Both of these features affect your ability to hear your own voice and ambient sound in the environment around you. I have read on some forums from other users that these features stopped working with a firmware update. Unfortunately, I bought this product recently and that was the current firmware version. When in a call, you cannot hear your own voice which makes it impossible to speak clearly. I wear my headset all the time, even when not in a call. I cannot hear other people talking to me or other sounds in my environment when there is no sound coming from any device. I contacted Jabra Enterprise support and their suggestion was to factory reset the device which did not fix the problem. The next suggestion was to return the headset for a refund which I am considering before my 30 day return window expires. Very expensive headphone are definitely not worth the price. If I get a fix before returning, I will update this review.

This Jabra Evolve2 85 Wireless Headphone is my new companion at work and on the move. It has a pleasing decent color combination, not too light, not too heavyweight. It looks and feels sturdy, and there are no tremble, wobble, or any cracking noise. It has enough clamp force to sit firmly on my head, and with the soft earpads and headband, I can wear it all day without any fatigue. The recharge is easy with the USB type-C, but I am a little disappointed that I don't get the dedicated charging pad in the package for this price. The battery lasts forever and when I put down the headphone, cuts the sound, saving energy, until I but it back, it continues uninterrupted.
The wireless connection builds up fast and easy. I was stunned when I found myself about 40 (!) feet far from the source, and on a different level (!) in my house, the connection stayed stable, without sound degradation. It has a minimal (unnoticeable) latency between the sound and the picture. I appreciate that the function buttons aren't on one spot but nicely distributed on both cans. I can operate with them easily with my thick fingers. The sound signature is a smart balance between its two purposes. Clear implementation in dialogues, at the video or phone conferences, and impressive imaging and separation at the expense of soundstage. My favorite setting for music listening is the "Hear Through". Across the smart and vast Jabra Sound + (Android) app, I could personalize my preferences easily. (for example. making the sound signature a little bit V-shaped).

the Evolve 85 headphones are well built, very comfortable to wear and are enjoyable to listen to. They support multipoint and have software available for download which can program the headphones to perform many tasks while paired to your PC. they can also be custom tuned via the Sound + App. There is an option to purchase a Bluetooth adapter that plugs in to a PC that isn't Bluetooth compatible. The mic for calls can either be handled by internal mics inside the headphones, or by default, calls are handled via a mic that folds up and extends from the right earcup. The earcups themselves are kind of narrow and are firm, but are comfortable even laying down, and are deep. Also there is a good amount of padding that should prevent your ear from bumping up against the driver.
The left cup has a button along the edge for toggling between passive, HearThrough and ANC modes, as well as a slider to power the headphones on and off and enter in to pairing mode.
The right cup has a Microsoft teams button in the middle, and controls for volume, track navigation, answering and ending calls and play pause. The small button on the external mic functions to summon your digital assistant, even if the mic is folded inside the headphones. While on a call, the headphones by default will announce that the call is muted when the mic is not extended, or unmuted when it is extended. The prompts are simple and just state; 'muted.' and 'Unmuted.' respectively.
The sound of these is surprisingly good out of the box. I realize sound preferences are subjective, but these by default are tuned to cover the bases well for a large audinece. as mentioned earlier, they can be tuned via a 5 band eq, or via audio presets in the app. I plan on testing these out, but i've found myself really enjoying the default tuning they ship with. The bass is lighter than some might want, but has great extention and texture throughout. The mids are forward but full and the treble leans toward bright which some may not like, but this tuning really does play well with any genre.
The app also has soundscapes like nature sounds, or white noise, which i enjoyed listening to. The HearThrough is natural sounding but could be dialed up a bit in my opinion. The ANC is affective and will get the job done just fine thanks in part to the already great passive isolation, but it isn't the greatest strength of these headphones.
Over all these are a great tool for work and play and should last for a long time

Великолепно
I have a pile of headsets in my home that I have used for Teams and Zoom meetings over the past year. My job requires that I discuss complex engineering issues with a panel for 3-5 hours once a week and we need to be heard clearly and need to be comfortable for extended periods of time during our review sessions.
Initially, we used the built-in mics in the webcams but stopped because the background noise and my meeting was too disruptive. Next I tried other devices, like my PS4 gaming headset, but the mic quality was not up to par for giving discussions of complex matters to a panel of 5-7 folks. Audio would cut out occasionally and volume would fluctuate.
Next, I tried airpods but the battery could only last 2.5 hours of continuous talking.
Then, I came across these, which work perfectly. The battery seems to last for days and the sounds is incredible. It is as if the other people are next to me and they report back that my sound quality is significantly better than other participants in the meeting. The MS Teams integration is super helpful if you use this program, with LED light indicators on the earmuffs and headband that light up when you are in a call (not out of the box though, requires the jabra software to be installed).
This includes a dedicated dongle as well.
Charging is via USB-C - huge plus.
Includes a hard shell leather case that looks and feels high end.
Overall, excellent product.
