JabraEvolve2 65 Flex Wireless Stereo Headset - Bluetooth, Noise-Cancelling ClearVoice Technology & Hybrid ANC - Works with All Leading UC Platforms Such As Zoom & Google Meet - Black

Was looking for:- All day comfort (on-the-ear, but the cushions are amazingly soft)- Cool on the ears- Good noise control on the mic- Good sound on the mic- Portable- Reliable connectivity (either through the Bluetooth dongle or USB-C, both work great!)- Long battery life- Physical mute (you fold up the mic)- Comfort is good while wearing glasses.The Evolve2 65 Flex headphones delivered!Bonuses:The audio quality is pretty good, enough to enjoy music if I have a break. The (wool?) case is very convenient and seems durable (had it for a month or so of hot-desk use (where I pack-up every day), still looks new). The bluetooth dongle is small and very effective (the head-set prefers it to the phone, so if my laptop is on, that's where my audio connects even if my phone is on). The "Soundscape" included in the phone app (built-in looped sounds: rain, thunder, waves, fans, waterfall, etc.) is a wonderful calm oasis in the middle of a busy day or noisy room.It does all the things I need it to.Improvements? They could be a -little- more comfy if they were around the ear and not on the ear. The noise cancelling is so-so (I mean, they are on the ear, so they have that to deal with. Not as good as Sony over the ear or in-ear (both of which I own from the 2023 gen of those products)). I usually set them to "off" and that actually blocks more of the chatter in the room than the ANC. YMMV.Overall love them though. The Sony products I mentioned did not give me the comfort or reliability I needed for a full work day. The Jabra headset definitely does.Highly recommend for a long day at an on-the-phone job. (I am on the phone 90-100% of an 8 hour day 5 days a week) in an office. They are not tight enough for on-the-go work I would say. So if you are on flights/moving around a lot, these likely would slip off (again, they are on-the-ear).Really wish I could give 4.8, I think that's more accurate. They are not perfect, but they do the job very well so gave 5 because that's closer to how I feel about them.

Got it on sale and worth investing one!! Especially, if your work will have a lot of scheduled calls a day. Wireless headset is very convenient. Also, it has noise-cancellation feature and the microphone has an easy access to mute / unmute function. Lastly, this device is very light to pack because of its very light weight and very flexible to fold inside a mini pouch which is also included!

I bought this alongside a Poly Voyager Focus 2 to try out for work. I ended up keeping both. The Evolve2 65 Flex has excellent noise cancelling (and I mean WOW! Excellent!). That said, it gets uncomfortable over long periods, the ear cups aren't that great, and the sound quality is just okay under normal circumstances. When mic and audio are sharing the sound channel, the quality goes to downright poor. Odd, as that was never an issue with my old Evolve 75.Mic seems better technically than on the old Evolve 75, but I'm not a fan of the short mic or how it flips up. Overall this is a decent value though, if for the noise cancelling alone. Would be amazing if you had to use in a noisy environment.By contrast, the Poly Voyager Focus 2 was basically the opposite. Very comfortable, great sound quality, but the noise canceling was much poorer than I expected.

This headset is incredible for working from home setup. There’s constantly background noise around me but none gets through once I’m on the calls.The headset feels quite flimsy for a > $200 product. Otherwise, it’s light and easy to connect to devices.

Just got off a call where the person on the other end was complaining that my voice was very quiet and difficult to understand. I switched to the phone mic, spoke at the same level, and the other party was very grateful. I've grown to be rather frustrated with this headset since my priority when making the purchase was to improve my voice quality in calls.---Update after 3 months of use:I've started hearing complaints from colleagues more frequently that my microphone cuts out during meetings. This is while in a quiet room with no background noise that needs cancelling, so it shouldn't be an overzealous voice isolation feature.This choppiness occurs whether using it with a straight Bluetooth connection to my laptop or with the USB-C dongle. It seems that giving the mic a little flick 'fixes' it briefly when it flares up.---Original review:I have another pair of Jabra Elite 7 Pro earbuds, but coworkers regularly commented that my voice quality was poor on calls either on Zoom, Teams, Slack Huddles, or on the phone. So I picked these up.Made the purchase on Jan 2 at a sale price of $187.70, which I see as an excellent value.In short, my goal of improving on the Elite 7 Pro was absolutely met.- I prefer the sound that comes from the Evolve2 65 Flex for music, and the voice quality on the other side is significantly improved.- ANC is fine but not fantastic, and I find that to be acceptable.- The voice isolation when I'm speaking is really good.- I haven't experienced any of the issues in other reviews about the mic cutting out--hoping that holds out! It seems this may be a byproduct of the voice isolation feature. The headset does a good job of cutting out background noise, and the speakers voice may be getting mixed in with the background that's cut. Not sure if this could be remedied by changing any settings with the headset or not, but I have not experienced this as a significant issue. I usually work in pretty quiet settings though and haven't had calls in wind or other more challenging situations yet.- Connecting the mic on Windows didn't happen automatically with direct Bluetooth as it did with the speakers (rather than the included Jabra adapter which is recommended). By that I mean the headset mic wasn't available in a Zoom call with the headset paired and connected. But this was through selecting the headset mic in the OS Sound Settings, making it available. I understand the benefits of using the Jabra adapter, but I like the convenience of a quick direct Bluetooth setup.
