This video pushed me over the line to buy a 65 flex. It is very comfortable, way more comfortable then other Jabra headsets I have tried before. ANC is not that powerfull, but better then nothing. Overall satisfied after a full day of use.
🙌 I agree 100% with your feedback! The ANC is not as powerful as headphones that completely surround your ears but in terms of comfort, it’s the most comfortable dual ear headband headset I’ve tried! Thanks so much for supporting our channel and more importantly for sharing your experience and feedback!
Brilliant review, extremely focused. I got all my questions answered here 😊. Currently my WFH daily driver is Elite 45h, which works brilliantly in a low noise environment. However WFO is a different ball game with everyone around chit-chatting and taking calls. I really like 65 flex due to its low profile looks and ANC. But too costly. Probably I'll wait for a sale 😉

Hi, danny! I’m considering between this and evolve2 55. I saw a review saying while 65 flex is more comfortable, it doesn’t give a good grip so that if you bend your head down it’ll slip. Do you experience this? Also how the durability compared between the two models? Thank you!
Hi Putri! This is challenging to answer since people have different size and shaped heads. I personally have not experienced this but I understand how folks with smaller heads may. Our Customer Service Manager is very petite and all dual ear headband headsets she tries don't fit well and easily slip if she bends while wearing a headset. Please note, the Evolve2 55 and Evolve2 65 Flex both use Jabra Air Comfort technology and are very lightweight and comfortable. The primary difference between the two is you can fold the Evolve2 65 Flex into a smaller form factor to for easier storage and portability. The Evolve2 65 Flex mic also folds up and hides away while the Evolve2 55 has a longer boom mic arm. Either would be a solid choice.

Hey Danny, thank you so much for the review. I'm still unsure about its comfort over long periods of use. Does it remain comfortable after several hours?
Hi Marcos! Thanks for watching and reaching out! Comfort is highly subjective. Based on my personal preference, the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex was comfortable for long periods. I do my best to wear the headset for 8 hours with and without glasses to test comfort. I can wear the headset all day (if the temperature is moderate, 70-75 degrees Fahrenheit). This is currently the most comfortable headset I've tested, and it's become my default travel headset. The only comparable other is the Shokz Opencomm UC, but they aren't apples to apples in terms of form factor. This is my personal opinion based on my tests. I hope this helps you.
Great reviews, thanks! :) I‘m currently torn between the Jabra Flex and a totally different setup: Apple Earpods + Krisp. I enjoy the natural mic sound quality of the earpods much over the Jabras, but I‘m not sure if krisp + earpods can compete in the noise reduction department. Would make for a great test :)
Hi Martin! I've tested Krisp in the past. I find starting with a solid-performing professional-grade headset, along with the Noise Suppression options available through Zoom, Teams, Google Meet, and others, is a winning combination. While I LOVE the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex for its performance, portability, and comfort, the EPOS Impact 1000 Series Microphone is currently at the top of my list for the best Noise Canceling Mic.

Hi Danny. Thanks for your reviews. I was wondering how the Evolve2 65 Flex compares with the EPOS Impact 1000. In both of your videos, you say that the headset is the best. Is the Jabra the best business headset because of the comfort but the EPOS is the best overall because of sound qualty/ANC and microphone noise reduction? Or should we take chronological order to indicate that you feel the Jabra is clearly superior to the EPOS?
Hi Watson Tien! Thanks so much for watching and supporting our channel! Let me clarify. The EPOS Impact 1000 model I tested had the best-performing Noise Canceling Mic in suppressing background noise AND allowing my voice to come through clearly. While some other headsets do a great job suppressing background noise, it sometimes comes at the expense of reduced voice quality. It can sound robotic or garbled. I do not have the EPOS Impact model with ANC, so I could not test it. The Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex is the best overall headset for business, especially for someone like me who works in multiple locations and primarily uses a laptop and mobile phone. The foldable flex feature converts the Evolve2 65 Flex into a smaller form factor, making it easier to stow away in my backpack, along with the PanaCast 20 webcam and the Speak2 75 (stay tuned for upcoming Jabra Speak2 audio performance demo videos). Both are certified for leading UC platforms and applications like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet. I like the Qi Wireless charging option available from the Evolve2 65 Flex. Although the EPOS Impact 1000 has a wireless charging stand option, it's less universal than the Evolve2 65 Flex. Also, the Evolve2 65 Flex is available with USB-C or USB-A dongle options, and the EPOS Impact 1000 currently only offers a USB-A dongle but includes a USB-C charging cable. And, of course, I can't ignore the comfort factor. The Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex is exceptionally comfortable, based on my preference, and this is a huge factor to consider if I am in long video meetings or webinars. Based on my tests, the speaker and mic audio quality is excellent across mobile and laptop calls. While the EPOS audio performance is better, considering comfort, portability, USB dongle options, charging options, and comfort, I vote for the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex. Long-winded, but I hope this clarifies what I meant. Contact us directly if you have more questions! Mention our TH-cam Channel for discounts!

Hi Martin, Thank you for watching and supporting our channel! That’s a great question, and I can see why it’s a tough decision-each of these headsets offers unique benefits. Ultimately, the best choice will depend on your personal preferences, use case, and work style. From my tests, I’ve found the Evolve2 55 to have a slightly better microphone compared to the Evolve2 65 Flex and Evolve2 75. Both the Evolve2 55 and 65 Flex are exceptionally lightweight and comfortable for extended wear. However, if you prefer a more robust, sturdy-feeling headset, the Evolve2 75 might be the better fit for you. As a hybrid worker, I appreciate the Evolve2 65 Flex's portability. It folds into a compact form factor, making it easy to carry in my backpack when I’m moving between work locations. If Active Noise Canceling (ANC) is a key feature for you, the Evolve2 75 offers stronger ANC performance. That said, it’s important to note that voices and certain sounds can still be heard with ANC on, regardless of the model. I’ve written a blog about ANC technology in headsets that explains what to expect from this feature if you’re interested: calloneinc.com/understanding-anc-technology-in-professional-grade-headsets-jabra-poly-yealink-epos-and-logitech/ I hope this helps with your decision! Let me know if you have any other questions-I’m happy to help.
This headset has an issue with mic noise cancellation.. or maybe it is the short mic boom... People have told me that they "loose" me at times becuase my voice cuts out, and I saw that it happened in the testing by Danny... It hope it is just a software issue... Not happy so far with them..
Unfortunately, I recently purchased one and I'm experiencing serious issues with the microphone. It randomly cuts out during phone calls, and when I lie down, it stops working altogether. For the price, it's really disappointing, especially since I bought it primarily for its microphone function, which doesn't work properly. I've also seen many similar testimonials about this issue. Your review videos convinced me to buy it, but this microphone problem is a real letdown. Now I'm looking for another model, but I'm afraid I'll encounter the same issues
Hi Inconnu X! I am so sorry to hear this. I have not tested the mic while lying down and I have not experienced the mic cutting in and out while using. It's literally the headset I use when I'm working in noisy environments like hotel lobbies and coffee shops. When I'm in our Customer Experience Center or driving, I've been using the Shokz Opencoom2 UC because it keeps my ears open providing situational awareness. I recommend updating the Jabra Direct software and headset and dongle firmware. If that doesn't help, contact Jabra Support directly. www.jabra.com/supportpages/jabra-evolve2-65-flex#/#26699-999-899-01
Between this and Evolve 2 85? I'm on Teams several hours per day. Currently I'm using Evolve 75. It' s still a good product but I want something better. I was fine with this product so I'm leaning towards Jabra again but obviously I 'm open minded so to say. A friend of mine recommends Sennheiser Momentum 4 Wireless. What do you think? Thanks in advance.
Based on my tests and the fact that the Evolve 75 was one of my favorite headsets for a while, I would consider these headsets based on the original Evolve 75 style and weight. - Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex - Jabra Evolve2 55 Stereo (available in mono) If you would like a headset that completely covers your ears, like ANC headphones that are Microsoft Teams certified: - Poly Voyager Surround 80 UC - Yealink BH76 Plus - EPOS Adapt 660 Other options: - Poly Voyager Focus 2 - EPOS Impact 1061T ANC - NEW Yealink BH70 (no ANC) I'll have to revisit Evolve2 85 but based on my tests, the Evolve2 65 Flex and Evolve2 55 performed better. The best ANC of the listed is the EPOS Adapt 660. The best Noise Canceling microphone belongs to the EPOS Adapt 1061T ANC. Best overall for my workstyle is the Evolve2 65 Flex. I work from home, corporate office, coffee shops, airport terminals, hotel lobbies and in ride-shares. The Evolve2 65 with it's fold and go style makes it compact and easy to fit in my backpack and transport. It's very lightweight and comfortable so I can wear for long periods of time. The audio has been good in multiple environments. And it's also great simply for streaming music, and audio books.
Yes, the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex can be used as a corded USB audio device. This headset includes a USB-C or USB-A cable (depending on the model) that allows it to function as a wired device. When connected via USB, the headset bypasses the need for battery power and provides a direct connection, making it convenient for situations where Bluetooth connectivity isn't preferred or available. This flexibility makes the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex versatile for both wireless and wired use cases. Thank you for watching and supporting our channel!
The jabra website says that these headsets are compatible with traditional desk phones. How does that work? If only connectivity is Bluetooth and a USB dongle?

These sounds like tests arent realistic enough. Just got 65 flex and used it at a park. Picked up all the wind noise in the background other person couldnt hear. So had to mute/unmute and there seemed to be a delay when unmuting 😢 do you have a recommendation for headsets against wind?
Thanks so much for watching and sharing this valuable input. I would like to recreate your use case and create a demo video. What are you connecting to in the park? Laptop or mobile phone? Are you using your mobile for calls dialed directly from the phone or are you using apps like Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp, etc. Please let me know. Here are some “real world” mic tests in coffee shops and noisy hotel areas. Plus I added a video of other headsets tested on a very windy golf course.

@@CallOneInc oh wow that would be really beneficial - thank you. I was connected to an android mobile via bluetooth just making a simple phone call with the flex. Didnt even get to teams zoom etc. It was just a windy day like your video at the golf course. Ended up speaking directly on the phone and she said it was clearer. I think indoor and outdoor tests are critical to simulate real world so i like how you get out and about. The ones tested in a room through speakers don't help as other factors kick in like doors open and close letting in wind/slamming sounds. Looking forward to seeing your conclusion. Im on a quest to find the best anc and mic noise cancelling bluetooth headset
Here’s a mic test of the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex paired to a Google Pixel 7 Pro outside. Although it wasn’t as windy as I would have hoped so at some point, I’ll do another test. Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex Mic Test Outdoors th-cam.com/users/shortsg9drXsElCBU?feature=share
Thanks so much. We just did a test as well. The mic seems to "mute" when youre not speaking. So my wife was outside and there was a light breeze. I could only hear the breeze when she was talking. Pretty clever but was still hard to hear her with the breeze in the background. It did the same thing when she tried to use the vaccuum cleaner. It made a higher pitch distorted sound when she was speaking but must have automatically muted when she wasnt. Im obviously no expert but thats what it sounded like was happening to me. You might need to blow a fan on yourself ;) maybe they need to sell a dead cat wind muff that goes over the mic
The other test to make it more realistic is to have 1 person outside near road/park/coffee shop etc using the Flex paired to a mobile and actually call someone through Teams/Zoom etc sitting on a PC and record what it sounds like coming through the speakers talking to them. The other test is to simply by make a phone call and record what it sounds like coming through the other phone through the speakers. Also remember to mute/unmute yourself too as part of the test as many are flagging that there is a delay. The youtube tests all seem to be done individually and not by calling someone so when real people are actually using them, it does sound different as I think when you're recording the video it must work differently to a phone/teams call.
Correct. For this video I used Windows 11 Camera App. I used the Jabra PanaCast 20 to record vidoe and the Evolve2 65 for the microphone. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Pro 360 2-in-1 Laptop / Tablet. Mic performance changes if using platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams and you enable Noise Suppression. The stronger/higher the setting, the more background noise is suppressed.
Hi Ramy! We have several headset mic test videos where the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex and EPOS Impact 1000 series are compared in various environments. Find them here! th-cam.com/play/PLOmK3KI8aDaVR64fuVXeMl4_AkNuJbMtE.html&si=RctjA7XKseLQxj42
"Better" is a subjective term based on the use case and preferences of the user. As of typing this response, there hasn't been another headset with similar features and specs that fold and go like this.

These sounds like tests arent realistic enough. Just got 65 flex and used it at a park. Picked up all the wind noise in the background other person couldnt hear. So had to mute/unmute and there seemed to be a delay when unmuting 😢 do you have a recommendation for headsets against wind?
Thanks so much for watching and sharing this valuable input. I would like to recreate your use case and create a demo video. What are you connecting to in the park? Laptop or mobile phone? Are you using your mobile for calls dialed directly from the phone or are you using apps like Zoom, Teams, WhatsApp, etc. Please let me know. Here are some “real world” mic tests in coffee shops and noisy hotel areas. Plus I added a video of other headsets tested on a very windy golf course.

@@CallOneInc oh wow that would be really beneficial - thank you. I was connected to an android mobile via bluetooth just making a simple phone call with the flex. Didnt even get to teams zoom etc. It was just a windy day like your video at the golf course. Ended up speaking directly on the phone and she said it was clearer. I think indoor and outdoor tests are critical to simulate real world so i like how you get out and about. The ones tested in a room through speakers don't help as other factors kick in like doors open and close letting in wind/slamming sounds. Looking forward to seeing your conclusion. Im on a quest to find the best anc and mic noise cancelling bluetooth headset
Here’s a mic test of the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex paired to a Google Pixel 7 Pro outside. Although it wasn’t as windy as I would have hoped so at some point, I’ll do another test. Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex Mic Test Outdoors

Thanks so much. We just did a test as well. The mic seems to "mute" when youre not speaking. So my wife was outside and there was a light breeze. I could only hear the breeze when she was talking. Pretty clever but was still hard to hear her with the breeze in the background. It did the same thing when she tried to use the vaccuum cleaner. It made a higher pitch distorted sound when she was speaking but must have automatically muted when she wasnt. Im obviously no expert but thats what it sounded like was happening to me. You might need to blow a fan on yourself ;) maybe they need to sell a dead cat wind muff that goes over the mic
The other test to make it more realistic is to have 1 person outside near road/park/coffee shop etc using the Flex paired to a mobile and actually call someone through Teams/Zoom etc sitting on a PC and record what it sounds like coming through the speakers talking to them. The other test is to simply by make a phone call and record what it sounds like coming through the other phone through the speakers. Also remember to mute/unmute yourself too as part of the test as many are flagging that there is a delay. The youtube tests all seem to be done individually and not by calling someone so when real people are actually using them, it does sound different as I think when you're recording the video it must work differently to a phone/teams call.
The mic noise cancellation performs differently depending on which app is used for recording, so don't expect to get the same exact results
Correct. For this video I used Windows 11 Camera App. I used the Jabra PanaCast 20 to record vidoe and the Evolve2 65 for the microphone. I'm using a Samsung Galaxy Pro 360 2-in-1 Laptop / Tablet. Mic performance changes if using platforms like Zoom and Microsoft Teams and you enable Noise Suppression. The stronger/higher the setting, the more background noise is suppressed.
Please compare this to epos impact 1000 wireless headsets
Hi Ramy! We have several headset mic test videos where the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex and EPOS Impact 1000 series are compared in various environments. Find them here! th-cam.com/play/PLOmK3KI8aDaVR64fuVXeMl4_AkNuJbMtE.html&si=RctjA7XKseLQxj42
Is there any that has been released recently that is better than this headset in terms of portabilty and other specifications that this headset has?
"Better" is a subjective term based on the use case and preferences of the user. As of typing this response, there hasn't been another headset with similar features and specs that fold and go like this.
Could you make a new video for 2024 please ?
Hi محمد الصميدع! Thanks for watching and supporting our channel. The jury is still out for 2024 and we're close to 2025. "Best" is subjective based on your preferences, environment, and use case. Tell me about your use case and I'll provide guidance.
