This is a really helpful and thorough review that I wished I'd have seen before buying 5 sets for our office on the back of the noise cancelling microphone. In our open office, I still find there is too much background noise which I can hear, even if our clients can't. I'd been recommended this headset by a colleague, but she worked mainly alone. Should have thought that one through. If I were in a position to buy again I wouldn't choose this version - it sounds like the Jabra 75 would have been the better option for our office but they're too costly to replace until they've served their purpose.
I know this is an old video but that microphone issue could be caused by interference from another device in your house or in your neighborhood that activates every hour.
It might be just that one you have cause mine is perfect never issues and I use it for work to take and make calls on computer using a dialer I’ve tried tones and this is the best one I used for the price range
Jabra Evolve 75 is an excellent headset (my favourite, far better than the 85h) except for one big problem: you'll only get about 2 years' use out of it. Internally, the tiny internal wire which connects the microphone to the PCB board flexes so often as you lift and lower the boom mic over and over that it eventually breaks entirely. Some other fellow has a video on how to repair it. (Spoiler alert, you'd better be nimble, delicate, and an extra-good soldering ninja because the wire is like those thin airline earphone cables which contain hairlike interlaced copper wire strands. Not for the faint of heart.) I was looking here to see if the 65 would be a workable fallback model, but I'm not liking what I see. This guy's review of a mediocre product is excellent. Pity the 75's durability isn't up to their brand name... Anyone having suggestions for a suitable substitute for the Evolve 75? Thanks!
My favorite headset.... Currently on a mission to find the perfect small, pop-filter/wind-screen for the mic tip because my desk fan creates annoying sound for my peers. (and myself since I can hear the mic via passthrough).
I hate these headphones. they can have up to 3 listings each for the microphone and speaker in your device settings and if you plug them in to charge they will change the setting on you. you will spend lots of time on Teams test calls and get very familiar with your phone software and teleconference app device settings. Good luck.
Thanks for the nice review. I've decided not to buy this; I don't think it is worth the price. I bought a more affordable one, it was JLab GO Work Wireless, and that looks better based on my experience and comparing it to your review.

Unfortunate it's too late but glad the video was informative.
Great Review. This was the headset that came free with work so I cant complain.

Exactly! Exactly.. The headset slides when we tilt forward.
My employer gave me this headset for free, and I'm still disappointed
😅
Nice, I've been considering the Jabra!! Great review
is the mic removable?

Really? I have mine for 5 years and use it like... 10-15x EVERY day. No problem so far. EDIT: And I DON'T go easy on it at all. :D
Kids do bark. 😂

Im using the jabra evolve 65 right now and I didnt charge it IN 5 DAYS and its still on 50 PERCENT BATTERY

Yeaaaa I got this free from my work... This headset should be like $45, if you pay MSRP you're brain dead.
Haha so true LMAO.
Great review
The background noise cancelling is SUPREME. Stupidly you sound like a pilot over it...
😂
Amazing review, I own this headphone and just wanted to know that those problems are only experienced by me or not.
Glad it confirmed your thoughts. Too bad it's like that.
I have a Jabra 380 (500 dollar cost) and it's one of the worst headsets I've ever had. Constant connection issues.
crisp review thanks
No problem!
Great review. Thanks

Press and hold the volume - button 2 seconds

Everything was great so far, aside from there is no mute botton. :D
never ever buy jabra. worst customer service ever
one of the most deciding factor, customer service
