It’s in your office. It’s in your home. An invisible, inescapable, malevolent force… no, not someone reheating fish in the microwave again… it’s noise: the not-so-silent killer of productivity. If you work from home or have the “joy” of an open office space, you can shield yourself with one of Jabra’s Evolve2 headsets. Choose the Evolve2 40 in mono and stereo designs, the wireless Evolve2 65 that lets you converse while away from your desk, and the wireless Evolve2 85 with active noise cancellation to provide true isolation. While each model shares a host of features, they each have their own unique qualities that are ideal for a variety of different work environments.
Employers provide different equipment to their workers, so it’s essential to pick the right type of Evolve2 headset. Each of the three models is either optimized for Unified Communications or Microsoft Teams, and come with either USB Type-A or USB Type-C connectivity. A UC headset can be used with a wide variety of platforms, such as Cisco, Alcatel-Lucent, Avaya. If you primarily communicate via Microsoft Teams, you’ll enjoy the dedicated Teams button on the Microsoft-Teams-optimized headset. It lets you control and activate the app itself. The MS Teams headset will integrate seamlessly with the program, offering you a variety of Teams-specific functions and abilities, including different color LEDs to signal available meetings, incoming calls, and more.
All three Evolve2 models provide an integrated BusyLight to help prevent anyone from bothering you as you work. The BusyLight on the Evolve2 headsets is engineered to be seen from any direction and will automatically light up when you’re on a call or in a meeting. If needed, you can activate it manually via the integrated earcup controls. All three models are also designed for comfort. After all, you may be wearing one for hours every day. In addition to padded ear pads, Jabro crafted padded headbands via biometric measurements from hundreds of heads. This allows for optimized weight distribution for almost any head shape.
With so much being the same, which Evolve2 headset should you choose? Well, if wireless technology is not suited to your workflow, or you need a mono version to be always available to others, then the Evolve2 40 is for you. The on-ear headset connects via an integrated USB cable and comes in a mono or stereo configuration. The integrated boom mic swivels down when needed, auto-mutes when raised, and three integrated mics help to keep your conversations crystal clear.
If the freedom of wireless technology is a must, then you should consider either the Evolve2 65 or Evolve2 85. Both models provide up to 37 hours of battery life per charge and can pair with Bluetooth-compatible mobile devices. The Evolve2 65 combines wireless capabilities with the same on-ear pads, swiveling boom mic, and three integrated microphones of the Evolve2 40.
The Evolve2 85 on the other hand, takes noise reduction to new quiet dimensions with over-ear earcups and active noise-cancellation technology. ANC actively takes in ambient noise and filters it out, leaving you with just your conversation or music. They can even be used as a regular set of headphones, thanks to the hideaway boom mic. The headset has 10 different integrated mics to help ensure you always sound your best. Extend the boom mic to activate 4 microphones optimized for indoor conversations or slide it away to engage 6 other mics that are optimized to handle the outdoor sounds.
Both the Evolve2 65 and Evolve2 85 come with or without charging desk stands. If you buy a headset without a stand, don’t worry, Evolve2 65 stands and Evovle2 85 stands can be purchased separately. If you’re ready to conquer your noisy home or office, head on over to B&H and grab the model that’s right for you.
