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.

I am new to using headsets, and I think this is a great starting point for me. This headset provides excellent sound quality and superior comfort for all day wear. The ANC is as effective as any I have experienced, and the battery life has been very impressive so far. As a person who stutters, the ability to hear my own voice through the mic - the sidetone function I believe it's called- is really important, and so I really appreciate that feature.The mic seems to work very well - picks up my voice well and does an excellent job filtering out other noise. My fan is running pretty much constantly and I tested it to make sure that it wasn't picking up my keyboard or mouse sounds - pretty basic, but important stuff. I even tested it with finger snaps close to (but not directly into) the mic, knocking on my desk, and clattering my metal water bottle, etc. - none of that was picked up either, so it's very impressive in terms of isolating only your voice.One I will have to get used to is that all of those sounds *are* picked up in side tone (and relayed in the earphone) so it makes it a little unnerving to be able to separate what you are hearing vs. what other people are hearing. There is an option to play around with the sidetone settings, so I will likely do that to help with the adjustment.

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.
