Pros:
- Good sound quality, both audio output and the microphone
- Comes with a dedicated USB transceiver, so it doesn't depend on the computer's Bluetooth support
- The noise cancellation is quite good. I don't like active noise cancellation, but even the passive cancellation (insulation) works well.
Cons:
- The headphones go into idle mode if there is no active audio stream. After starting a new audio stream, there's a 1-2 second delay before the headphones start picking it up. That means e.g. every time you play a Youtube video, it'll take a couple seconds before you can hear it. I called them and the support was very helpful and knowledgeable, and quickly proposed a reasonable unofficial work-around to leave the OS audio settings open so that it is always receiving from the microphone, which prevents the headphones from going idle. But I decided I do not want to deal with this work-around if I'm going to pay $450 for a headset.
- The active noise cancelling would sometimes turn on by itself, I'm not sure why, I'd have to press the button to turn it off again.
The delay before the audio starts up was really a dealbreaker. I returned it and went for Astro A50 instead which is a bit cheaper, has lower quality microphone, but won't go idle just because there's no audio stream (it still saves battery by detecting if it's on the head or not), plus it has a nice stand for charging.
I really wanted the 85 to work but for the high price it needed to be perfect. Save half of the money and get the Evolv2 65, it is not perfect but it is adjustable.
On the MS version, there is no way to switch between devices. So if I am in a meeting on my PC and someone calls my phone one of two things happen:
- the headset randomly decides my meeting is important and I can not use the headset with my phone.
- the headset randomly decides my phone is more important and I can not tell my meeting that I am taking a call.
Both are equally frustrating and the lack of being able to select makes it not useable for me. Additionally, sometimes when my phone is not playing or doing anything, it simply decides it still wants to be connected to my phone so I can not use it with my PC until I manually disconnect it from my phone.
It has button to open MS Teams, which is useless since if you use Teams a lot is will already be open.
It has volume buttons, which have limited value since both my phone and PC also have volume buttons.
It has a button that is supposed to pause or play music, but rarely does anything when pressed.
It has an ANC/HearThrough button that is useful.
And an on/off button that is important.
This could be a great headset if it had a button that would allow me to switch between my phone and PC or allowed me to customize the button functions.
Return process had a hidden 10% restocking fee with this reseller but reseller did refund after I complained!!
Can't customize buttons.
Mute button on the tip of the boom mic makes it feel like you're going to break the boom, and everyone has to hear you fumbling around to find the mute button. I'd rather re-map to the large button on the side of the ear cup. Boom is also very short, if you have bulbous cheeks you'll be brushing against the mic a lot.
Active noise cancellation doesn't do much.
Best feature is the battery life. I can get 2 or 3 days depending how many calls I'm on.
Overall not worth the hefty investment, go for a $100 headset instead, you'll get comparable features without the cost.
Comfort is reasonable, I wear glasses under the headset which I usually wear for about 5 or 6 hours a day. If it's continuous it does make my ears sore, if I have an occasional break confort is good.
When worn during yard work they do wind up sliding around on my head.
Also, I've used the USB-C Bluetooth to connect to my computer when running meetings via Zoom. Every time I make a phone call using my iPhone and Jabra, my Itunes starts on my computer and plays music until I quit the application. It's incredibly frustrating.
For $450, the sound from these Jabra Evolve2 85 UC headphones is disappointing. There is a very noticeable lack of bass and high-end frequencies, which is probably fine for phone calls and online meetings during the workday, but the performance for music listening is just sad. I was really hoping music was going to sound better through these headphones. I was not expecting hi-fi music studio headphone performance, but I've heard far better sound out of headphones under $100. $450 lesson learned.
For performance during the workday taking calls and participating in online meetings, I think these headphones are pretty good. However, I do have Bluetooth connectivity issues occasionally which causes my voice to drop off when talking to colleagues. The Bluetooth connectivity issues could certainly be attributed to Windows 10 or my current Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Yoga 3rd gen laptop, but that is a little bit frustrating. I enjoy not being tethered to my PC by a USB cable, so that's a plus.
For work, I needed a set that has a microphone boom arm. I needed to be able to charge it mid call, without dropping the call, if the battery gets low.
For travel, I needed something portable that could fold up. Must have a 3.5 mm input for connecting when Bluetooth is not possible. Noise canceling was also important.
For gaming, I needed USB-C. I also needed a dongle since the Nintendo switch doesn’t support Bluetooth.
For casual listening, I needed it to be convenient. Need to hear through it, and detect when it’s off my head or back on. Needed to have good sound quality with customizable equalizer.
The Jabra Evolve2 85 is not the best at every catagory individually, but it is the only headset that is in the top 3 of every catagory.
This headset does everything I need well enough that I no longer need 4 different sets of headphones. That alone justified the higher cost for me.
I highly recommend these headphones!
Had full volume on my phone and computer but still the sound quality seems very low. Also made adjustment in the app but nothing works had to return it after barely 2 hours of use.
My current Plantronics Voyager 8200 UC are broken but they had better sound and connectivity than these and are much cheaper.
Not worth the money
Comfortable and great range. Highly recommend them.
