Jabra Evolve2 65 Wireless Headset – Microsoft Teams-Certified Stereo Headphones with Noise Cancelling and Long Battery Life – USB-C Bluetooth Adapter – Black

Sure, they’re a bit pricey but hey. I’m in lockdown. And I’m working all hours godsends - and usually sat on video calls a few hours a day, so why not spend a few quid? I was really wary over on ear rather than over ear but they fit snug and they’re kinda soft and padded just right. Sure, they run a bit warm on long (1-3h) calls from my own body heat against the pads but that’s fine. Battery life is really good. I’ve got a usb-c cable on the desk for my iPad anyway so I just plug them in every few days. The jabra desktop software (I’m using Windows 10) is good, easy to understand and is often updated - on install there was a big firmware update and yesterday there was a big software update. I tweaked quickly to set sleep to 30 minutes (instead of 8h), favoured bass, and turned on intelligent noise cancelling. Build quality is exceptional. I bought two pairs and both myself and my wife love them. Even coming with a carry case which is a nice touch. And finally, fit. If you think of Bart Simpson, I’ve got a similar shaped head. Let’s say it’s not that small. And these fit well. Sure, I’m on the end of where they extend but I don’t notice any pinch, etc and I’m happy with them. Oh, another finally (that’s just wrong) - I’ve been told sound quality to the recipient is good, and call quality for me is superb - the best I’ve ever had.

I initially bought a cheaper wireless headset but was unhappy with the sound quality, so after much research, I got this at 3 times the price of the last one. The sound quality is significantly better, no more muffled voices. They are even ok for listening to music but still not quite as good as a dedicated set of music headphones at similar prices. The included USB-C dongle is fairly small, so should not cover up nearby USB sockets. It manage to keep a very good connection with the headset at all times. You can use your computer's built in bluetooth, but apparently the dongle is generally better according to youtube. You can pair the headset with the dongle AND to a phone at the same time. The dongle takes priority, so if there's a call on the computer with the dongle, it will switch to the computer call automatically. Fit wise, it's fairly comfortable, I have a large head and a lot of headsets are too tight, these are not too tight. Took a star off because you can't wear the headset with the mic boom on the left, it only swivels correctly when it is worn on the right hand side.

Glad I got this version - USB C Bluetooth connector. My laptop has no standard USB slots, so I was going to have to look for another USB adapter. The headset itself is excellent. Sound quality is second-to-none. Perfect for Teams calls. It natively has several features for teams call that I like: - action button for teams on the side - as you swivel your mic up and away, it tells you mic muted, and also lets you know the position of your mic if you want it to. I did find when I placed the headset directly over my ears it tended to hurt them after a couple of hours. I adjusted them slightly and released the tightness and moved them off my ears slightly and that solved the issue. It won't affect everyone, it's just because these are not headphones that encompass the ear, they sit on the ear. Just something to think about. I suppose in used to wearing for 4 hours with ear-muff style headsets...I just need to learn these are better for meetings. That said Ive used for long periods of listening to music whilst coding, and I can't complain now. Absolutely beautiful sound quality and zones everything out! Great buy, and well worth the money. You won't be disappointed.

Simply the best headphones I've ever had! The quality of the brand is unbeatable. I have mild/moderate hearing loss, so not just any headphones will meet my needs. In some cases, even at the highest volume, I can't hear them properly. In this one, the volume is very loud and clear, and I don't even need to reach the highest volume. :) The bass is strong, another positive point for me. The battery is amazing, it lasts a super long time. I think I spent a whole week working, and only at the end did it go from High to Medium. I have had them for the past 3-4 weeks and I only charged it once. The integration with MS Teams is perfect, and you only need to raise the microphone to mute it and lower it to unmute. Love that! I don't usually use work headphones in my daily life, but these are so good that I use them even when I'm not working. I connect to my phone via Bluetooth and to my work laptop using the dongle - which has a working light. The price is not low, but you are paying for a high-quality product. I highly recommend it!

Excellent headset. Fast delivery. Work perfectly

Since lockdown, like many people, I’ve been working from home and spending a lot of time on Teams. When my old, wired headset packed up (truth be told, my dog found them and had a good old chew), I decided its replacement had to be wireless as I’m tired been chained to my laptop. I’d like to say that I did a lot of research, but I didn’t so I’m pleasantly surprised at how well this purchase turned out. The headphones aren’t the cheapest, but I’ve come to believe that you get what you pay for. If you factor in how much time you are going to be using them, then this is probably a bargain. I also managed to get it from Amazon Warehouse which helped! I purchased the USB-C headset without the charging station and when I unboxed, I was surprised at how well made the headset felt. Everything these days seems to be cheap plastic. The headband is cushioned at the top to make wearing it more comfortable and it expands to fit all head sizes. I love the feel of the soft carry case and it will offer some protection if you commute to the office. Setting up was easy or so I thought. I just connected via Bluetooth without using the dongle which proved to be a mistake. I got really frustrated trying to get the headset to sync properly with Teams. If I raised the microphone arm or pressed mute on the headset, it wasn’t reflected on Teams even though I was muted. It was frustrating and I thought that I would have to just live with it but eventually, I decided to use the dongle and download Jabra Direct software. After that, all the headset functions were in sync. I love the fact that I am connected to two devices simultaneously which means I switch between phone and teams calls without any difficulty. The LED lights mean that people know when I’m busy, but this can be switched off if that isn’t something that you like. I’m still getting to understand all the different LED colours so worth reading the manual something I confess; I don’t normally bother (see above). Overall, it’s a nice headset, however for me, it has one flaw, I just don’t find them that comfortable. I have to say that I prefer enclosed headphones and they hurt my ears after a period, and I wonder if I should have splashed out and bought the Jabra Evolve2 85. As I said before you get what you pay for!

Purchased for work use in MSTeams. Very uncomfortable on left ear. After 1 hour had headache. Deadened sound/possibly over active noise cancellation. Own voice sounds tinny when you hear it through headphones. Would not connect to Bluetooth via phone app. Returned for refund to Amazon. Plus points - connected automatically to MS Teams and seemed to work well with that software.

I'm basically on back to back VC calls every day, you probably are too if you're reading this. I share a home office with my partner so I was looking for something to make that workable. The microphone is excellent, I can type on my keyboard and others on the VC barely hear it. My wife can be on a call about 5m away from me, and others on the VC can barely hear that either. These sound great, audio is very clear, they feed your own voice back into the mix which is awesome, it results in me speaking quieter which is also good for our shared co-working space. Listening to music sounds good on this, I didn't expect that. The can connect to multiple bluetooth devices at the same time, this means I can connect to both my Portal (which I use for VC) and my laptop and it will "do the right thing". They are tight on my head, after 4 hours they are a touch uncomfortable - that's the only downside IMHO.
