Oh dear, that’s 10th Jabra review I’m watching and first with shows the most important feature in action (recording voice with background noise). Thank you so much!
6+ months later and I am still using the Evolve2 65 - it is amazing! Before anything, I would like to say Thank You to Call One inc! Their reviews/video clips made my choice rather easy as they've touched on all features and was done very well (all of that under 5 mins clip!) Amazing job - thanks again guys!
Thanks for the review! Now I'm using the Evolve 65 and there are 2 improvements that I like from the new version: USB C connector and the easy mute function. Muting by lifting the mic up, that is so cool!
I've been searching for a good wireless headset to use when working from home and while doing my research I always end up at one of you videos. So, since I'm living on the other side of the planet and will never buy or use you services I thought the least I could do is say thank you for your excellent videos. They really helped me out alot! Thanks!
My Evolve2 65 headset came in today. I can attest to some aspects of the headphones as a user, at least on day 1. First, I've been wearing it for about 6 hours straight now and am just beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable in the ears, but it's nothing serious, just something I'm noticing. I called my wife from a room with the radio blaring and she couldn't hear it. I got her a set too and we tested them by calling family while sitting within hand-holding distance. When one of us was muted but still talking they couldn't hear that person through the other microphone, even though we continued talking at normal levels. It was a test along the lines of the ones Danny has done with Mariah, trying to see if the microphone picked up Mariah's voice. It looks like it's going to be a win for our use case, two people in the same office space on separate conference calls at the same time with no cross-talk. [UPDATE (7/7/20): She and I are facing the same direction most of the time, but if I need to do something where I am essentially facing her she can be heard faintly, about like the videos of Danny and Mariah. I'm told by colleagues that they can hear her in the background but it's not distracting. So, both facing the same direction ~4ft apart the other person cannot be heard at conversational levels, one facing the other some of the other bleeds through. At our other location we face each other at our desk and I will update once I see how it works there.] We were having issues such that one of us had to relocate during calls because our phones/computers/earbuds/headsets easily picked up the other person's voice. One co-worker told me he could hear my wife as if she were on the call with me. Her Apple Airpods Pro didn't help, nor did my PLT 3200, 5200, or 7200, and no help from the laptops either, all Thinkpads, a T430, T480, T580, and X1 Yoga Gen 4. I can't speak as an audiophile, but can say that music sounds better than I expected, audiobooks sound good, live voices are clear. The microphone sounds clear to those on the other end. While it didn't make a difference in my case, I would second Danny's admonition to make sure the software is up-to-date. I'm in IT consulting so I know how important it can be. Also, if you are having issues connecting to Teams the way you normally do without a Microsoft certified headset, give the dedicated Teams button a try. I was fiddling a bit on my first call then remembered the button. When I pressed it everything worked fine. Thanks for the great videos, Danny!
Hi guys, I'm having the same issue where the other person on the other end can hear my surroundings and conversations. It seems that the headset doesn't limit the background noise as I thought.
Hopefully you can do a quality test between the Evolve 2 65 , 85 and the Evolve 75. I am awaiting your final review of the 85 before I buy. I want to go wireless this time as I have the old 40. Looking forward to more reviews. Thanks for the great work !
I bought the Evolve2 65 a month ago, mainly thanks to your videos. The sound quality is great, and mic voice clarity as well, but as for background noise cancelling in the mic it self(which is one of the main reasons I bought it - Working from home and kids running outside my room) the Evolve2 is not doing their job :( My colleagues told me they can hear the background noises even when I tap quietly on my table. I updated all firmware, even got a replacement headset, but when recording a test at a room with 50dB -60dB noise, you can hear it loud and clear on the recording. I don't think I'm doing something wrong since everything is up to date, but for me those headset are not meeting the requirements and the price tag. hope it helps.
@@CallOneInc Thanks for the quick response :), happy to share: Evolve2 65MS USB-A. Recording was tested first in the windows recorder , and then in Microsoft Teams => Prior and after firmware upgrade (now the Jabra link 380 is updated to 1.7.3, and the headphones to 2.4.5). I conduct the test with one phone playing a background noise with people talking and the other phone was showing the dB. -- great idea with dB meter it will really give an the extra value, to these great reviews ;)
Same problem for me and compared to wired Evolve 40 it’s a significant step back. By any chance, were you able to solve this somehow? Jabra suggested a replacement for me.
@@vadimtres Unfortunately I wasn't able to solve this issue. Jabra replaced the headset (great customer service btw) but I still had the same issue. After a while some more problems occurred, like people started saying I sound like I'm in a pool :/ so I had to disconnect and connect again the dongle or connect via BT :( .A year ago, my workplace gave me the option to buy the Platronics Voyager Focus UC on their expense, so now I use the Plantronics - Compared to the Jabra, the Jabra were better on almost all aspects (range, comfort, sound quality, charging time) but the Plantronics have much more superior background noise cancellation and mic.
I love my Jabra Evolve 75 (actually bought it after Danny reviewed them). I particularly like how lightly it "presses" my head (important for my big head and long call sessions). Also, I love that I can use 75 as a USB device with my laptop and this way, I don't have to deal with Bluetooth connectivity or battery issues. When you test the new Evolve 2 85, can you explore those points? Keep up the good work!!
@@CallOneInc Impressive battery! I mostly use my Evolve 75 wired to avoid any Bluetooth issues that still happen occasionally with my Macbook Pro 13" 2016. I hope the new Jabra Link solves any possible problem :)
Will Jabra release a new version of 75 also? The Evolve2 65 is missing the ANC Function, who is very nice in big open office. Or is the PNC from the Evolve2 65 so good?
Question: Can you please make future comparison reviews in terms of microphone quality between dedicated call center headsets versus audio headsets? Would be great for folks who are unsure which is more suitable for both work and leisure. For example Jabra Evolve2 85 versus Sony X1000M4. Thanks!
Hey Danny, thanks for doing these wonderful reviews. These headsets are really great for noice cancelling and audio quality. However in my experience not very comfortable for long hours as they sit on-ear. Really looking forward to your review on Evolve2 85.
@@CallOneInc I’ve been using is for 3 days for online learning, sometimes listening to music or playing some racing games, I need to say, this headset is amazing! Really good quality both of speakers and the microphone 👍 It can be used for working and entertainment, totally worth the price
I've purchased the Evolve2 65 and I was amazed from the battery life, sounds quality (including music, games and most importantly - phone calls). I am having some issues with mine but I must say, Jabra are fantastic and it was hassle free to get replacement pair. The issues that i've had with my headset was that as sometimes, when I make a phone call, it would sound choppy/robotic, my work around was to switch to Iphone speakerphone and quickly switch back to headset - thats it. Would I buy Jabra again? Absolutely! I love my Evolve2 65 and I am thinking next year to upgrade to Evolve2 85.
Yeah that is pretty good noise cancelling. Not the best, but very doable for those times you might be in a more busy enviroment. The next question I always ask is the long use comfort. Nothing worse than my employees complaining about discomfort around their ears. I appreciate it's not an exact science as each person experiences this differently.
Thank you so much for doing this test! Do you feel the audio input quality is the same as the (corded) Evolve 2 40 version that you tried out a couple of weeks ago? Wondering if the Bluetooth connection will impact how others hear my voice on Teams etc. Thanks!
Hey! Great review! The specs of the Evolve2 65 seems very nice. I am trying to find a comfortable headset with great mic quality but with ANC. What could be an alternative headset with ANC? Evolve 75? Or maybe Evolve2 85? Are you planning to do a review on the Evolve2 85 soon?
Call One, Inc. I have a follow up on this... I have the zone wireless and I don’t love the anc... I still have people telling me they hear some background noise on my end... would you recommend me to try the 75 instead of the 2 65?
I used to think the Sennheiser SC 660 has the best noice cancelling microphone (the SC 665 isn't as good!). But the mic noise canceling in your Evolve2 40 and 65 are amazing!
Your reviews have a class of their own! very informative! Between Jabra evolve2 65 vs Jabra evolve 75, which one would you recommend. In my local market, they both have almost the same pricing, (10-15% difference).
@@CallOneInc Thankyou so much! This is a very detailed response. My use-case is work from home with kids (3 and 5 years!) And I have a thick accent as a non-native speaker, so I am trying to improve it at least by getting a good quality mic. Not an audio engineer, but some of the reviews on evolve2 65 sounds like the mic is not good for every voice... Do you have any observations on this?
@@CallOneInc Thanks really appreciate the insights. I m ordering Jabra Evolve 75! Wish I could use your link, but I m in Asia :) Thanks again, you are helping a lot of people! And yes, kids background noise would be a really nice test!!
Great Video. Making a choice between Jabra Evolve2 65 and Blueparrot ST-450 xt. Which has best NC mic for home use where kids and tv is playing. Also for walking outside and doing conference calls
Thank you for the review. That's som highly compressed audio, I don't like the intelligibility as compared to Jabras wired ones - assuming we hear the headset mic in the video.
Thank you for the review, very useful! Looking forward to the review on the Evolve2 85H. What would your thoughts be on the noise-cancelling capacity of the Microphone on the Evolve2 85H VS the Bose700 UC noise cancelling mic? I'm tossing up between those two for my sales team
@@CallOneInc Hi there, thank you for the reply. By Bose 700, I meant the Bose 700 UC business version coming out soon which has a USB dongle and is Skype/Teams certified. I'm after a business solution for my Sales Team of 15. I work at a Fortune100 Tech company and our floor basically has around 40 Account Executives on the floor all day on the phones, so two things are paramount to us: 1) Noise cancelling Microphones so only the Rep's voice can be heard and little to none of the background noise/chatter can be heard by the client 2) The second important priority would be noise cancelling itself, but this isn't as important as the first. We use Microsoft Teams as our VoiP solution and have developed our own integrations and plug-ins to integrate into our CRM. Given those needs, i'm tossing up between Bose 700 Professional which according to some reviews has fantastic noise cancelling Microphones and the new Evolve2 85 coming out which seems like it will have great noise cancelling to with it's 10 mics
Hey Danny, great review as always. I wanted to check, was that mic test done using the dongle? I'm wondering if there are any more tweaks you could do to get better sound quality from it as it doesn't sound amazing for the price.
Hi, another great review thanks. How does this headset compare with the Poly Voyager 4220 that you also reviewed? I am mainly interested in which microphone does better at cancelling noise but also an overall comparison/suggestion would be great please 🙂
Good video and tests. I can't choose between this one or the evolve 80... Wondering if the evolve2 65 is also good with noise cancelling.. greetz from Amsterdam
Hi, really enjoy your reviews. Thank you! So i'm in the market for wireless headset with boom mic. Main uses are for zoom meetings, team meetings and some actual phone calls. In addition I'll use headset to record teaching videos. I have a few questions. Can you hear your voice in the headset when you are speaking? I've been driving myself nuts researching all the choices in this wireless space. I'm considering Jabra Evolve 2 65 UC or Plantronics Voyager Focus UC. Do you have an opinion on either one for my needs? Do you think I should consider any other headsets? Much thanks for any feedback you can provide. Hope you enjoy your day!
Thanks for the review and the analysis. Does the previous Jabra Link 370 adapter work with the Evolve2 65? Some reddit posts say it does. I'd appreciate the answer.
Thanks for watching and sharing your feedback! And to answer your question, yes. The Evolve2 65 will pair with the Link 370 however Jabra recommends pairing with the newer Link 380.

Does the Evolve 65 work like the 40 with a cable USB-C? (Plugged) Thank you very much for being the first to make reviews of the evolve2 40 & 65. I really appreciate it.
Hi Danny, thank you ever so much for covering headsets (particularly the mic tests)! The way things are, my setup is a Bose QC35 (daily driver for audio) paired with the Jabra Evolve 30. So in Webex/Teams/Zoom, I have output from QC35 while also wearing the Evolve 30 around my neck with the boom mic sticking up for input. Is the Evolve 75 a significant upgrade over the 30 in mic quality? Asking as I saw your 75 mic test video and the NC of nearby speeches seems highly promising, though I'd need to sufficiently justify a $200 purchase. Previously managed to score a deal on the Evolve 30 for just $25.
@@CallOneInc My main environment at home is low to normal, but gets loud since a family member is like a meter away from me who's always on-call. If we don't have the AC on, the wind sound from the fan behind me would be picked up as well. If I'm at school, I would be in an shared area with plenty of conversations going on, but more spaced out. So draining out fan/wind and nearby conversations would be ideal. I've noted that the small footprint of the Evolve 30 allows me to use a headphone (spoiled by the QC35 audio) and a headset simultaneously whenever a meeting is going on, though I do get the odd stares in school for that lol
Hi Thanks for the review! From watching this one, and your review of the Evolve 2 40, I got the impression that the 40 got better mic noise cancellation? Might that be the case? I'm inclined to buy the Evolve 2 65 for their wireless capabilities, but your review of the 2 40 made me hesitate. Any thoughts? Thanks!!!
Hi Don! You are correct. I too found the Evolve2 40 seemed to provide stronger NC mic performance compared to Evolve2 65. I have just received THREE NEW Evolve2 headsets to test. If you can wait, I would. The newer Evolve2 65 Flex is extremely comfortable and seems to have a strong performing NC mic. I post exclusive content on LinkedIn, give me a follow. I recently posted a brief video talking about the comfort of the Evolve2 65 Flex vs Evolve2 75. 😃 Follow Danny Hayasaka on LinkedIn for Exclusive Content 👉 www.linkedin.com/in/danny-hayasaka/
@@CallOneInc Thanks a bunch! Will follow you on Linkedin. I'd like to wait to make my purchase, but I can't. I'll guess I'll buy the Evolve 2 65, despite the poorer NC, since I walk a lot, and wireless is a must. But it is a shame... because the E2 40 are nice, and more affordable.
Only one disappointment or cons is that the microphone is fixed on right side making it nuisance for people who prefer to have the microphone on the left.
@@CallOneInc Looking forward to this review. I bought Evolve2 85 few weeks ago and can't get anywhere near of noise cancelling of the mic, as in this video.
Hi there, if I use evolve 2 65 for long meetings of 3 hours or so, will my ears sweat or feel the heat making it uncomfortable . Is comfort level same or better, or less than original evolve 65 version. Anxiously looking forward to seeing your answer .
I own the Jabra Biz 2300 Duo and with a few call Centers I have worked for the mute function would not work with my headset, I have seen that API's need to be at times installed on Server side, just not end user, Currently I using the Amazon Connect with my new job and the mute is not working, I reached out for assistance but they were not able to take the time is my best guess, So curious is the Mute function with the Jabra Evolve 2 65 with lifting the arm up is a hardware mute, that override software compatibility, because I am really disliking working all day not having access to a mute function !!
I really enjoyed your reviews, thank you! I'm just one click away from purchasing this but I have concern over the caller able to hear that I mute them. When you click on the headset to mute, I hear a loud click. It's a pity you were showing background audio instead when you flip the mic up to mute. I would love to know if the caller could hear the actual movement
Hey Danny, thanks for the review and I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I’m looking to buy the Evolve2 85 or evolve2 65, and one think I can’t find or remember is if the evolve2 65 wireless would work via USB cable in wired mode without the dongle?. Many Thanks as always!
Hey, great content as always! Would you happen to know if: (a) two Jabra Evolves (1st and 2nd gen) can be connected to the same (370 or 380) USB dongle at the same time, (b) if the 1st gen (370) and 2nd gen (380) USB dongles are both compatible with the Evolve and Evolve2 series? Reason for asking is that I’ve had the Evolve 75 for a while and now consider upgrading to the Evolve2 85 which just became available. I could then have the 75 permanently at home, the 85 at the office. Would be perfect if I won’t need to change the laptop dongle each time and/or unpair the one and pair the other Evolve when moving between home and office.
Call One, Inc. Many thanks, really appreciate you guys following up on questions in the comment section! Bummer that I can’t pair both Evolves at the same time to a single dongle, so maybe the Evolve2 becomes a replacement, rather than an addition to my Evolve1...
Call One, Inc. Just got my Evolve2 85 now and you’re right - dongle can only pair to one headset at a time. Not a big issue though. Did a quick comparison to other mics for call quality here - but I’m sure you guys will do a more professional review when you get hold of it :) th-cam.com/video/eR8r8Cb-xwM/w-d-xo.html
Hi there! I saw in the specs of the headset that it supports dual connectivity? Will you be able to show me how that works? My current situation is I am like in a zoom meeting using my PC and want to answer the call that is coming from my phone or tablet I want to know how does it work?
Hi Bagnos! Thanks for watching and love the question! I need to start adding that into our video reviews and demos. Yes, you can be paired to your computer and mobile device. However, you can only be in one single active call at a time. Meaning you can't be in a PC (Zoom call) and a Mobile (phone call) simultaneously. It's probably best to show you. This is a frequently asked question across all multi-connectivity headsets so I will do my best to put together a demo video to show what happens if I am in a Zoom call and get a mobile call and vice versa, I am in a Mobile call and get a Zoom call.
I have this jabra evolve 2 65 and overall good product, however one thing important to note is that if you lose USB-A or USB-C based bluetooth dongle which comes with this headset, you will have to pay 110 USD to purchase a replacement one (Jabra link 380 is the part). And this is rip off. And if you rely on direct bluetooth connection without dongle, good luck with getting your headset connect to your machine reliably. I have decided to stay away from Jabra products due to this

Thanks for a great video on the microphone aspect. Could you please inform how does it sound with music if one is not doing work and listening to music. Can you compare it with BOSE etc.
@@CallOneInc I have a question regarding the audio quality,. I have it connected only to the laptop. When i listen to music, audio quality is good as long as i don't get a call or initiate a call. As soon as a call comes in, or i try to call someone, or even open a program that accesses my microphone, then it's like it switches to another mode/channel or something and the audio quality of the music gets really bad, sound is flat and it feels like mono. I use it with the provided dongle as my Lenovo T490 laptop can't seem to use the microphone of the headset when connected via Bluetooth directly. Do you have the bad sound quality too when there is an incoming call? From the perspective of Software, everything is up to date
Thanks. Just a suplimentry question, as it could just be a deal breaker for me to choose old version Vs new one. Did you find difference in comfort level wearing headset for more than an hour, between jabra 65 Vs jabra 2 65 I saw they have used a memory foam cushion now Vs earlier another type.
Which one is better? Jabra Evolve 75 or Jabra Evolve2 65? I bought Jabra Evolve 75 6 months ago and I can say that the noise cancellation feature is superb. But after using it every day, the whole left ear cup suddenly broke apart from the headband a few days ago. I used it every day with extra care because it's expensive but now it's broken. For a headset that costs more than $300+, I expected that it would last longer compared to my Jabra Evolve 40 but sadly it didn't.
Hi Danny, thank you for the great video. Apologies if you are asked this a lot -- I'm torn between the Microsoft Teams and UC variants. We are a mostly a Cisco Webex shop (40,000+ employees!) *BUT* we do many meetings with vendors, etc that use Teams, Blue Jeans, Zoom, etc *AND* we may actually be shifting to Microsoft Teams in about 8 months. So how do I future-proof myself? What exactly can't I do in Teams if I get the UC variant? Thanks again for reading this!
@@CallOneInc Wow thank you for the detailed response! Yes, the shift would be to internal - peer-to-peer communications and collaboration, same as we do right now with Webex. But we would probably also use it as default tool for sending meeting invites to external parties (especially since it integrates so well with Outlook). FYI we have 40,000+ employees (large healthcare center here in NYC)
Hi Danny, after much consideration comparing this with Poly's Voyager Focus, am going with this given how new it is. But I do have a question that I haven't seen enough reviews about -- do I really need the charging stand? Am I losing much without it? I personally use a Sony WH-1000 XM3, which I have lived off without a stand (it never has one!) for more than a year. Thanks for answering.
Can you tell me what the main difference is between the usb-a and usb-c headsets? Apart from the price. I know the difference between connections but I mean are there any benefit differences? Thanks
Hi! I received Jabra Evolve2 65 from Amazon this week and I've noticed that since the very beginning round plug on the left headset (the one without any buttons and mic) is loose and makes noises while moving my head. Do you have the same behavior? If you're not able to check, do you recall having the plug loose in the headset you were reviewing? Not sure if it's a "feature" or a defect of Jabra that I got, thinking of replacement from Amazon but don't want to waste time if a second one will have it as well.
Thank you for the video. I actually got this headset and I have one issue. Both Mic and Audio work really good when I am in a Call but when using them to be in a call and do something in parallel e.g. listening audio or gaming then the audio quality for the parallel activity (Audio or gaming) is really bad. Any idea if this is can be improved?
Hello! Is Evolve2 65's mic (noise cancellation factor) any better than the Evolve2 40? Or Bluetooth connectivity is its only difference compared to Evolve2 40?
Which variant do you have available right now that I can purchase? I’ve been waiting months for mine through jabra. Also how long does your shipping take?
Hi, I currently use a pair of wired Sennheiser Open Ear Headphones for calls so I can hear myself speak when having a conversation. I am looking to get a bluetooth headset, and the Evolve2 65 looks like it would be a great fit. My only concern is that I won't be able to hear any ambient noise (myself speaking) when having a conversation, and thus stumble over my words and diction. Any insight into what it's like talking into these? I know they don't have ANC, so that's good...
Hi Cyon! Apologies for delayed response. I strongly recommend you download the free Jabra Direct software. This allows you to customize the experience. Here's a video I filmed just now sharing the available settings via Jabra Direct: share.vidyard.com/watch/vk3T2PJhh4DT9mQPezQubg?
Hey Danny, were you able to do some testing around having MS vs UC variant? What are are benefits of having MS version if you are in Microsoft ecosystem. Does it make lot of difference if you are stuck with UC? Thanks
@@CallOneInc Thanks Danny for sharing your thoughts. I have been waiting for Evolve2 85 MS version but its impossible to get one in stock. Was wondering if going for a UC version makes more sense since that is available. Thanks
Hello everyone, here from Argentina. I just want to know: if you have the Logitech Wirelless Zone, Jabra Evolve 75 and Jabra Evolve 2 65 in hand. Which one would you decide on? If the price does not matter. Any news if there will be an Evolve 2 75 release? If so, date? Thanks!
Hi there, i'm interested to know what would the mic sound would be if you are not speaking and the background is that loud. would the background sound be filtered out the same way as when you are speaking ?
Thanks for this video and I was convinced to buy one. However, after I use it for a few calls working at home, it doesn't sound like it's blocking the unnecessary noise as the other channel can still hear like barking dogs. Yours is amazing and even if you turned on the volume of your TV, you cant hear it through the microphone. Is there any setting for it? Appreciate for any advise.
Seems like I'm having the same issue. Not dogs barking but chatter from colleagues when they're on a call. Minimum 12 feet away and my caller can hear the conversations around me. Maybe I need to update the firmware.
@@dpnap20 I just solved this issue. It turned out that the volume of the microphone was 100% in my windows settings. I just turned it all the way down to 0%. After that, did some tests and my voce is clear and loud enough but the environment noise is reduced. It is not filtered out completely but there is a significant difference from how it was at first, and how it is now. Hope this helps
Great review! Do you know why my evolve 2 65 volume is so small on PC? It works perfect on cellphone, but when I use it on my desktop with USB dongle plugged in, the audio souds very low also the mic...

i just bought the evolve 2 65 UC.. but the background noise can still be heard by the person i am speaking with, even my typing can be heard.. is there something i am suppose to turn on to get it to lower the background sounds?
hi great video.quick question.if the headset is paired with a laptop and a smartphone. you're in a teams call on the laptop and you have an incoming call to the smartphone and you accept it.once the Call on the smartphone ends (or is rejected) does it automatically switch back to teams? successfully easily and with no conitunuing audio discrepancies in the teams call?
@@CallOneInc thanks. I'm more interested not about the route laptop to smartphone, but the leg back. my plantronics voyager focus uc doesnt seem to handle it well, as once back teams call quality either drops or i cant be heard.hence ... searching for a new headset.i also sent a question to jabra.love your videos.much respect!
@@CallOneInc thanks, a bit challenging, as I'm hard of hearing on my right ear! Are any of the Jabra headsets compatible for both sides? Or would I have to get a stereo version?
@@CallOneInc thanks team, its just my right ear fortunately. My left ear is perfectly OK. I think perhaps the predecessor Jabra Evovle 65 Mono has a fully rotating Mic?
@@CallOneInc awesome thanks! I have the jabra Evolve 75. When I'm on call, the other person says I did not sound loud enough, although they didn't hear any background noise. Is it your experience?
I occasionally use Microsoft Teams, mostly use Zoom, and use dictation software everyday (Dragon). Do you recommend the Microsoft Teams (MT) or UC variant? Will the MT variant work just as well for Zoom and dictation or does the UC variant have something that would be more convenient for Zoom and Dictation?
@@CallOneInc I also have this question like Julio Maldonado - would it be wise to buy the MS Teams variant just to get the extra button, even if I'm primarily on multiple other platforms?
Hi ritualcrew ritualcrew! From tests I've done, corded headsets typically have better microphone transmit audio quality vs wireless headset. And personally, I think the Evolve2 30 has stronger mic performance. Here's a comparison video we did with Evolve 30 II, Evolve2 30 and Evolve2 40 th-cam.com/video/cHSdt69IPA0/w-d-xo.html
I got the Evolve2 65 and I'm not as happy as I wish. My experience with the background noise cancellation is not as impressive as shown in this video. I don't have a TV playing within 6ft away from me BUT my son has his tablet watching TH-cam videos and he's about 14ft away and listening back to my Teams meeting recordings, i'm hearing this tablet. I didn't expect to hear this because in this video, I am barely hearing your TV at volume 30 so for 14feet away and a tablet, I expected it to be pretty quiet. Firmware updated and using 380 dongle. Any suggestions? I almost feel like asking for a replacement because the comparison between this (and other similar videos) and what i'm hearing is so stark. One video the guy said he was in Starbucks and individuals couldn't place him properly as being on the road.
@@CallOneInc Thanks for you response. I live on the 5th floor of a 6 storey apartment building. My living/dining rooms don't have any separation other than a couch. It's rectangle shape - 24 feet long, 12 feet wide. So we are basically at both ends of that rectangle. The apartment opens u via sliding doors to the outside. Because I am high up, I do get some "city" noises coming in e.g. car alarms, horns. I don't live on a busy street at all - it's pretty quiet because it's a dead end (cul-de-sac). So I can probably count on 1 hand the number of car alarms that go off in a day. It's not a lot. But I was hoping the headset would block out even my son on his tablet in the living room couch while i'm in the dining room on my table. Thanks for your assistance.
#Call One Inc. Clarification with Evolve 2 65. 1. Can I use that in office space where the crowd nearby, how is noise cancellations 2. How about using it for cisco webex? It comes with a USB charger correct?
I have the evolve 65 and evolve2 65. The mic of the evolve2 65 picks up so much background noise compared to the 1st edition. I can not replicate the background noise canceling you show in the video.
Hi Josh Filina! Setups vary which can impact performance. However, I feel the Jabra Evolve2 30 has stronger mic than Evolve2 65 and Evolve2 85. I just listened to this video using an ANC headset and it does NOT block out 100% of noise. I can clearly hear the sounds from the TV coming through the mic. However, it is a much better experience than without a headset. I would also like to understand your environment. What is the source of noise? Some noises, especially sharp loud bursts like dogs barking are very difficult to block due to how noise canceling technology works.
Do you have the Evolve2 65 USB-C (UC variance) in stock and ready to ship to NY? If we order today, when can we expect the product to arrive? Moreover, how is the audio quality if we also use this product for music, movies, videos, games?
@@CallOneInc I will save some money and get the Evolve2 85, more for listenning to music and to attend casual meetings as a replacement of my Plantronics SPRO 16, which are good but not awesome for the price I paid for them, sad there is no "test before buying" in my country, I have to actually buy and pray. Cheers!
Could you please try Link 380 with 85h, Currently I have link 370 with 85h headset working, so I'm assuming it's going to work :) I ordered USB-C version, but it's on backorder.
@@CallOneInc Danny, can you also share your thoughts on MS vs UC version? Having MS version really makes a lot of difference if one uses MS ecosystem for work?
Does the noise cancel feature still function when connected via Bluetooth to a cell phone? I bought this set and people complain still about background noise
Thank you very much for the explanation... Could someone confirm that the microphone of the evolve2 65 has ANC feature? Or it only does passive noise cancellation?

Hi Drake A, Jabra provides USB-A and USB-C type connectivity to support the USB port types your computer has. If your computer has USB-A ports, the Evolve2 65 with USB-A dongle would be a better fit. If you have a computer with USB-C ports, then the Evolve2 65 variant with USB-C dongle would be better.

Hi Charles, I submitted your question to Jabra. These are fairly new. I don't know if they have real-world experience with these headsets with that length of time but it doesn't hurt to ask. But, yes, you can use as corded USB audio device if the battery dies completely however, not certain if you can after 3 to 4 years. I'll let you know how Jabra responds.

Hi Charles, Here's Jabra's Response: Hi Danny, Sorry for delay. Expectation is the headset will work when wired USB when headset battery is dead, although I don't readily have data stating that specific use case. Hope this helps! Thanks for submitting your question!
When move boom mic up or press mute button, you do get an audible notification "Muted" and when you move boom mic back down or press mute button again you hear "Unmuted".

Oh dear, that’s 10th Jabra review I’m watching and first with shows the most important feature in action (recording voice with background noise). Thank you so much!
6+ months later and I am still using the Evolve2 65 - it is amazing! Before anything, I would like to say Thank You to Call One inc! Their reviews/video clips made my choice rather easy as they've touched on all features and was done very well (all of that under 5 mins clip!) Amazing job - thanks again guys!
Thank you so much for sharing your feedback with the community, chando8888! 😊 We’re so happy to help!
Thanks for the review! Now I'm using the Evolve 65 and there are 2 improvements that I like from the new version: USB C connector and the easy mute function. Muting by lifting the mic up, that is so cool!
I've been searching for a good wireless headset to use when working from home and while doing my research I always end up at one of you videos. So, since I'm living on the other side of the planet and will never buy or use you services I thought the least I could do is say thank you for your excellent videos. They really helped me out alot! Thanks!
My Evolve2 65 headset came in today. I can attest to some aspects of the headphones as a user, at least on day 1.
First, I've been wearing it for about 6 hours straight now and am just beginning to feel a bit uncomfortable in the ears, but it's nothing serious, just something I'm noticing. I called my wife from a room with the radio blaring and she couldn't hear it.
I got her a set too and we tested them by calling family while sitting within hand-holding distance. When one of us was muted but still talking they couldn't hear that person through the other microphone, even though we continued talking at normal levels. It was a test along the lines of the ones Danny has done with Mariah, trying to see if the microphone picked up Mariah's voice. It looks like it's going to be a win for our use case, two people in the same office space on separate conference calls at the same time with no cross-talk.
[UPDATE (7/7/20): She and I are facing the same direction most of the time, but if I need to do something where I am essentially facing her she can be heard faintly, about like the videos of Danny and Mariah. I'm told by colleagues that they can hear her in the background but it's not distracting. So, both facing the same direction ~4ft apart the other person cannot be heard at conversational levels, one facing the other some of the other bleeds through. At our other location we face each other at our desk and I will update once I see how it works there.]
We were having issues such that one of us had to relocate during calls because our phones/computers/earbuds/headsets easily picked up the other person's voice. One co-worker told me he could hear my wife as if she were on the call with me. Her Apple Airpods Pro didn't help, nor did my PLT 3200, 5200, or 7200, and no help from the laptops either, all Thinkpads, a T430, T480, T580, and X1 Yoga Gen 4.
I can't speak as an audiophile, but can say that music sounds better than I expected, audiobooks sound good, live voices are clear. The microphone sounds clear to those on the other end.
While it didn't make a difference in my case, I would second Danny's admonition to make sure the software is up-to-date. I'm in IT consulting so I know how important it can be. Also, if you are having issues connecting to Teams the way you normally do without a Microsoft certified headset, give the dedicated Teams button a try. I was fiddling a bit on my first call then remembered the button. When I pressed it everything worked fine.
Thanks for the great videos, Danny!
Hi guys, I'm having the same issue where the other person on the other end can hear my surroundings and conversations. It seems that the headset doesn't limit the background noise as I thought.
Same thing for me. Background noises around are perfectly audible for others on the call.
Hopefully you can do a quality test between the Evolve 2 65 , 85 and the Evolve 75. I am awaiting your final review of the 85 before I buy. I want to go wireless this time as I have the old 40. Looking forward to more reviews. Thanks for the great work !
@@CallOneInc looking forward for the Evolve2 85 review!
I bought the Evolve2 65 a month ago, mainly thanks to your videos. The sound quality is great, and mic voice clarity as well,
but as for background noise cancelling in the mic it self(which is one of the main reasons I bought it - Working from home and kids running outside my room)
the Evolve2 is not doing their job :( My colleagues told me they can hear the background noises even when I tap quietly on my table.
I updated all firmware, even got a replacement headset, but when recording a test at a room with 50dB -60dB noise, you can hear it loud and clear on the recording.
I don't think I'm doing something wrong since everything is up to date, but for me those headset are not meeting the requirements and the price tag.
hope it helps.
@@CallOneInc Thanks for the quick response :), happy to share:
Evolve2 65MS USB-A.
Recording was tested first in the windows recorder , and then in Microsoft Teams => Prior and after firmware upgrade (now the Jabra link 380 is updated to 1.7.3, and the headphones to 2.4.5). I conduct the test with one phone playing a background noise with people talking and the other phone was showing the dB.
-- great idea with dB meter it will really give an the extra value, to these great reviews ;)
Same problem for me and compared to wired Evolve 40 it’s a significant step back. By any chance, were you able to solve this somehow? Jabra suggested a replacement for me.
@@vadimtres Unfortunately I wasn't able to solve this issue. Jabra replaced the headset (great customer service btw) but I still had the same issue. After a while some more problems occurred, like people started saying I sound like I'm in a pool :/ so I had to disconnect and connect again the dongle or connect via BT :( .A year ago, my workplace gave me the option to buy the Platronics Voyager Focus UC on their expense, so now I use the Plantronics - Compared to the Jabra, the Jabra were better on almost all aspects (range, comfort, sound quality, charging time) but the Plantronics have much more superior background noise cancellation and mic.
I love my Jabra Evolve 75 (actually bought it after Danny reviewed them). I particularly like how lightly it "presses" my head (important for my big head and long call sessions). Also, I love that I can use 75 as a USB device with my laptop and this way, I don't have to deal with Bluetooth connectivity or battery issues.
When you test the new Evolve 2 85, can you explore those points? Keep up the good work!!
@@CallOneInc Impressive battery! I mostly use my Evolve 75 wired to avoid any Bluetooth issues that still happen occasionally with my Macbook Pro 13" 2016. I hope the new Jabra Link solves any possible problem :)
@@CallOneInc and thanks so much for getting back!
Will Jabra release a new version of 75 also? The Evolve2 65 is missing the ANC Function, who is very nice in big open office. Or is the PNC from the Evolve2 65 so good?
Question: Can you please make future comparison reviews in terms of microphone quality between dedicated call center headsets versus audio headsets? Would be great for folks who are unsure which is more suitable for both work and leisure. For example Jabra Evolve2 85 versus Sony X1000M4. Thanks!
Hey Danny, thanks for doing these wonderful reviews. These headsets are really great for noice cancelling and audio quality. However in my experience not very comfortable for long hours as they sit on-ear. Really looking forward to your review on Evolve2 85.
Thank you for your great video. Would you recommend the evolve 75 or the evolve 2 65 for open office and teams meetings ?
Great video. Thank you!
Thanks for watching and supporting our channel @viktor4gub! Check our more current videos and let us know what else you’d like to see!
Ordered one after watching this, very good video provided lots of useful information 👍
@@CallOneInc I’ve been using is for 3 days for online learning, sometimes listening to music or playing some racing games, I need to say, this headset is amazing! Really good quality both of speakers and the microphone 👍
It can be used for working and entertainment, totally worth the price
I've purchased the Evolve2 65 and I was amazed from the battery life, sounds quality (including music, games and most importantly - phone calls). I am having some issues with mine but I must say, Jabra are fantastic and it was hassle free to get replacement pair. The issues that i've had with my headset was that as sometimes, when I make a phone call, it would sound choppy/robotic, my work around was to switch to Iphone speakerphone and quickly switch back to headset - thats it.
Would I buy Jabra again? Absolutely! I love my Evolve2 65 and I am thinking next year to upgrade to Evolve2 85.
Yeah that is pretty good noise cancelling. Not the best, but very doable for those times you might be in a more busy enviroment. The next question I always ask is the long use comfort. Nothing worse than my employees complaining about discomfort around their ears. I appreciate it's not an exact science as each person experiences this differently.
@@CallOneInc Many thanks for explaining your experience. I do have some staff members in the US, so could be a solution.
Thank you so much for doing this test! Do you feel the audio input quality is the same as the (corded) Evolve 2 40 version that you tried out a couple of weeks ago? Wondering if the Bluetooth connection will impact how others hear my voice on Teams etc. Thanks!
Hey! Great review! The specs of the Evolve2 65 seems very nice. I am trying to find a comfortable headset with great mic quality but with ANC. What could be an alternative headset with ANC? Evolve 75? Or maybe Evolve2 85? Are you planning to do a review on the Evolve2 85 soon?
Call One, Inc. I have a follow up on this... I have the zone wireless and I don’t love the anc... I still have people telling me they hear some background noise on my end... would you recommend me to try the 75 instead of the 2 65?
I used to think the Sennheiser SC 660 has the best noice cancelling microphone (the SC 665 isn't as good!).
But the mic noise canceling in your Evolve2 40 and 65 are amazing!
Thanks again for another great review. Any chance the Evolve2 85 review is coming soon?
Your reviews have a class of their own!
very informative!
Between Jabra evolve2 65 vs Jabra evolve 75, which one would you recommend. In my local market, they both have almost the same pricing, (10-15% difference).
@@CallOneInc Thankyou so much! This is a very detailed response.
My use-case is work from home with kids (3 and 5 years!) And I have a thick accent as a non-native speaker, so I am trying to improve it at least by getting a good quality mic. Not an audio engineer, but some of the reviews on evolve2 65 sounds like the mic is not good for every voice... Do you have any observations on this?
@@CallOneInc Thanks really appreciate the insights.
I m ordering Jabra Evolve 75!
Wish I could use your link, but I m in Asia :)
Thanks again, you are helping a lot of people!
And yes, kids background noise would be a really nice test!!
Great Video. Making a choice between Jabra Evolve2 65 and Blueparrot ST-450 xt. Which has best NC mic for home use where kids and tv is playing. Also for walking outside and doing conference calls
Great review as always! Is there any latency using the USB dongle?
Thank you for the review. That's som highly compressed audio, I don't like the intelligibility as compared to Jabras wired ones - assuming we hear the headset mic in the video.
Thank you for the review, very useful!
Looking forward to the review on the Evolve2 85H.
What would your thoughts be on the noise-cancelling capacity of the Microphone on the Evolve2 85H VS the Bose700 UC noise cancelling mic? I'm tossing up between those two for my sales team
@@CallOneInc Hi there, thank you for the reply.
By Bose 700, I meant the Bose 700 UC business version coming out soon which has a USB dongle and is Skype/Teams certified. I'm after a business solution for my Sales Team of 15. I work at a Fortune100 Tech company and our floor basically has around 40 Account Executives on the floor all day on the phones, so two things are paramount to us:
1) Noise cancelling Microphones so only the Rep's voice can be heard and little to none of the background noise/chatter can be heard by the client
2) The second important priority would be noise cancelling itself, but this isn't as important as the first.
We use Microsoft Teams as our VoiP solution and have developed our own integrations and plug-ins to integrate into our CRM. Given those needs, i'm tossing up between Bose 700 Professional which according to some reviews has fantastic noise cancelling Microphones and the new Evolve2 85 coming out which seems like it will have great noise cancelling to with it's 10 mics
Hey Danny, great review as always. I wanted to check, was that mic test done using the dongle? I'm wondering if there are any more tweaks you could do to get better sound quality from it as it doesn't sound amazing for the price.
The more I watch the vid the more I start wanting the evolve more. Thank you for being thorough and unbiased.
Hi, another great review thanks. How does this headset compare with the Poly Voyager 4220 that you also reviewed? I am mainly interested in which microphone does better at cancelling noise but also an overall comparison/suggestion would be great please 🙂
@@CallOneInc excellent, I look forward to it! Trouble is that they are both in the same price range 😕
Good video and tests. I can't choose between this one or the evolve 80... Wondering if the evolve2 65 is also good with noise cancelling.. greetz from Amsterdam
Hi, really enjoy your reviews. Thank you! So i'm in the market for wireless headset with boom mic. Main uses are for zoom meetings, team meetings and some actual phone calls. In addition I'll use headset to record teaching videos. I have a few questions. Can you hear your voice in the headset when you are speaking? I've been driving myself nuts researching all the choices in this wireless space. I'm considering Jabra Evolve 2 65 UC or Plantronics Voyager Focus UC. Do you have an opinion on either one for my needs? Do you think I should consider any other headsets? Much thanks for any feedback you can provide. Hope you enjoy your day!
Thanks for the review and the analysis. Does the previous Jabra Link 370 adapter work with the Evolve2 65? Some reddit posts say it does. I'd appreciate the answer.
Thanks for watching and sharing your feedback! And to answer your question, yes. The Evolve2 65 will pair with the Link 370 however Jabra recommends pairing with the newer Link 380.

Does the Evolve 65 work like the 40 with a cable USB-C? (Plugged)
Thank you very much for being the first to make reviews of the evolve2 40 & 65. I really appreciate it.
@@CallOneInc You can only use Evolve2 65 wireless using Bluetooth. USB-C is only for charging.
@@CallOneInc so they have finally changed over to USB C for the dock/charging? If so, thank goodness!
@@johnwalshaw Hello John, yes both Evolve2 85 and 65 support USB c for charging.
Hi Danny, thank you ever so much for covering headsets (particularly the mic tests)! The way things are, my setup is a Bose QC35 (daily driver for audio) paired with the Jabra Evolve 30. So in Webex/Teams/Zoom, I have output from QC35 while also wearing the Evolve 30 around my neck with the boom mic sticking up for input. Is the Evolve 75 a significant upgrade over the 30 in mic quality? Asking as I saw your 75 mic test video and the NC of nearby speeches seems highly promising, though I'd need to sufficiently justify a $200 purchase. Previously managed to score a deal on the Evolve 30 for just $25.
@@CallOneInc My main environment at home is low to normal, but gets loud since a family member is like a meter away from me who's always on-call. If we don't have the AC on, the wind sound from the fan behind me would be picked up as well. If I'm at school, I would be in an shared area with plenty of conversations going on, but more spaced out. So draining out fan/wind and nearby conversations would be ideal.
I've noted that the small footprint of the Evolve 30 allows me to use a headphone (spoiled by the QC35 audio) and a headset simultaneously whenever a meeting is going on, though I do get the odd stares in school for that lol
Thank you for the great review. I do a lot of meetings from Zoom and Skype. Which version (MS or UC) would you suggest ?
Hi Thanks for the review! From watching this one, and your review of the Evolve 2 40, I got the impression that the 40 got better mic noise cancellation? Might that be the case? I'm inclined to buy the Evolve 2 65 for their wireless capabilities, but your review of the 2 40 made me hesitate. Any thoughts? Thanks!!!
Hi Don! You are correct. I too found the Evolve2 40 seemed to provide stronger NC mic performance compared to Evolve2 65. I have just received THREE NEW Evolve2 headsets to test. If you can wait, I would. The newer Evolve2 65 Flex is extremely comfortable and seems to have a strong performing NC mic.
I post exclusive content on LinkedIn, give me a follow. I recently posted a brief video talking about the comfort of the Evolve2 65 Flex vs Evolve2 75.
😃 Follow Danny Hayasaka on LinkedIn for Exclusive Content 👉 www.linkedin.com/in/danny-hayasaka/
@@CallOneInc Thanks a bunch! Will follow you on Linkedin. I'd like to wait to make my purchase, but I can't. I'll guess I'll buy the Evolve 2 65, despite the poorer NC, since I walk a lot, and wireless is a must. But it is a shame... because the E2 40 are nice, and more affordable.
Only one disappointment or cons is that the microphone is fixed on right side making it nuisance for people who prefer to have the microphone on the left.
I agree with you Easeful-Peaceful-Useful. It would be great to use mic on left or right side. Thank you for watching and sharing your input!
Hi could you please review also " Jabra Evolve2 85 " to see how good is the microphone and call quality. Thanks!
@@CallOneInc Looking forward to this review. I bought Evolve2 85 few weeks ago and can't get anywhere near of noise cancelling of the mic, as in this video.
Hi there, if I use evolve 2 65 for long meetings of 3 hours or so, will my ears sweat or feel the heat making it uncomfortable .
Is comfort level same or better, or less than original evolve 65 version. Anxiously looking forward to seeing your answer .
I own the Jabra Biz 2300 Duo and with a few call Centers I have worked for the mute function would not work with my headset, I have seen that API's need to be at times installed on Server side, just not end user, Currently I using the Amazon Connect with my new job and the mute is not working, I reached out for assistance but they were not able to take the time is my best guess, So curious is the Mute function with the Jabra Evolve 2 65 with lifting the arm up is a hardware mute, that override software compatibility, because I am really disliking working all day not having access to a mute function !!
I really enjoyed using headset with microphone from Ez Voice because I love singing.
I really enjoyed your reviews, thank you! I'm just one click away from purchasing this but I have concern over the caller able to hear that I mute them. When you click on the headset to mute, I hear a loud click. It's a pity you were showing background audio instead when you flip the mic up to mute. I would love to know if the caller could hear the actual movement
Hi Chloesa, thank you for watching. From our tests, no, they should not be able to hear your mute or unmute by flipping mic up.
Hey Danny, thanks for the review and I apologize if this question has been asked before, but I’m looking to buy the Evolve2 85 or evolve2 65, and one think I can’t find or remember is if the evolve2 65 wireless would work via USB cable in wired mode without the dongle?. Many Thanks as always!
@@CallOneInc You guys are Awesome!, thanks for the confirmation and also guidance on these two headsets!, cheers
Hey, great content as always! Would you happen to know if:
(a) two Jabra Evolves (1st and 2nd gen) can be connected to the same (370 or 380) USB dongle at the same time,
(b) if the 1st gen (370) and 2nd gen (380) USB dongles are both compatible with the Evolve and Evolve2 series?
Reason for asking is that I’ve had the Evolve 75 for a while and now consider upgrading to the Evolve2 85 which just became available. I could then have the 75 permanently at home, the 85 at the office. Would be perfect if I won’t need to change the laptop dongle each time and/or unpair the one and pair the other Evolve when moving between home and office.
Call One, Inc. Many thanks, really appreciate you guys following up on questions in the comment section! Bummer that I can’t pair both Evolves at the same time to a single dongle, so maybe the Evolve2 becomes a replacement, rather than an addition to my Evolve1...
Call One, Inc. Just got my Evolve2 85 now and you’re right - dongle can only pair to one headset at a time. Not a big issue though. Did a quick comparison to other mics for call quality here - but I’m sure you guys will do a more professional review when you get hold of it :) th-cam.com/video/eR8r8Cb-xwM/w-d-xo.html
Hi there! I saw in the specs of the headset that it supports dual connectivity? Will you be able to show me how that works? My current situation is I am like in a zoom meeting using my PC and want to answer the call that is coming from my phone or tablet I want to know how does it work?
Hi Bagnos! Thanks for watching and love the question! I need to start adding that into our video reviews and demos. Yes, you can be paired to your computer and mobile device. However, you can only be in one single active call at a time. Meaning you can't be in a PC (Zoom call) and a Mobile (phone call) simultaneously. It's probably best to show you. This is a frequently asked question across all multi-connectivity headsets so I will do my best to put together a demo video to show what happens if I am in a Zoom call and get a mobile call and vice versa, I am in a Mobile call and get a Zoom call.
I have this jabra evolve 2 65 and overall good product, however one thing important to note is that if you lose USB-A or USB-C based bluetooth dongle which comes with this headset, you will have to pay 110 USD to purchase a replacement one (Jabra link 380 is the part). And this is rip off. And if you rely on direct bluetooth connection without dongle, good luck with getting your headset connect to your machine reliably. I have decided to stay away from Jabra products due to this

Great review, as always 👍🏻
Thanks for a great video on the microphone aspect. Could you please inform how does it sound with music if one is not doing work and listening to music. Can you compare it with BOSE etc.
@@CallOneInc I have a question regarding the audio quality,. I have it connected only to the laptop. When i listen to music, audio quality is good as long as i don't get a call or initiate a call. As soon as a call comes in, or i try to call someone, or even open a program that accesses my microphone, then it's like it switches to another mode/channel or something and the audio quality of the music gets really bad, sound is flat and it feels like mono. I use it with the provided dongle as my Lenovo T490 laptop can't seem to use the microphone of the headset when connected via Bluetooth directly.
Do you have the bad sound quality too when there is an incoming call? From the perspective of Software, everything is up to date
I'm comparing the Poly Voyager Focus UC with the Jabra Evolve2 65. Which of them has the better mic?
Thanks. Just a suplimentry question, as it could just be a deal breaker for me to choose old version Vs new one.
Did you find difference in comfort level wearing headset for more than an hour, between jabra 65 Vs jabra 2 65
I saw they have used a memory foam cushion now Vs earlier another type.
Which one is better? Jabra Evolve 75 or Jabra Evolve2 65? I bought Jabra Evolve 75 6 months ago and I can say that the noise cancellation feature is superb. But after using it every day, the whole left ear cup suddenly broke apart from the headband a few days ago. I used it every day with extra care because it's expensive but now it's broken. For a headset that costs more than $300+, I expected that it would last longer compared to my Jabra Evolve 40 but sadly it didn't.
Hi Danny, thank you for the great video. Apologies if you are asked this a lot -- I'm torn between the Microsoft Teams and UC variants. We are a mostly a Cisco Webex shop (40,000+ employees!) *BUT* we do many meetings with vendors, etc that use Teams, Blue Jeans, Zoom, etc *AND* we may actually be shifting to Microsoft Teams in about 8 months. So how do I future-proof myself? What exactly can't I do in Teams if I get the UC variant? Thanks again for reading this!
@@CallOneInc Wow thank you for the detailed response! Yes, the shift would be to internal - peer-to-peer communications and collaboration, same as we do right now with Webex. But we would probably also use it as default tool for sending meeting invites to external parties (especially since it integrates so well with Outlook). FYI we have 40,000+ employees (large healthcare center here in NYC)
Hi Danny, after much consideration comparing this with Poly's Voyager Focus, am going with this given how new it is. But I do have a question that I haven't seen enough reviews about -- do I really need the charging stand? Am I losing much without it? I personally use a Sony WH-1000 XM3, which I have lived off without a stand (it never has one!) for more than a year.
Thanks for answering.
@@CallOneInc Thanks 🖤
Can you tell me what the main difference is between the usb-a and usb-c headsets? Apart from the price. I know the difference between connections but I mean are there any benefit differences? Thanks
Hi!
I received Jabra Evolve2 65 from Amazon this week and I've noticed that since the very beginning round plug on the left headset (the one without any buttons and mic) is loose and makes noises while moving my head.
Do you have the same behavior? If you're not able to check, do you recall having the plug loose in the headset you were reviewing?
Not sure if it's a "feature" or a defect of Jabra that I got, thinking of replacement from Amazon but don't want to waste time if a second one will have it as well.
Thank you for the video. I actually got this headset and I have one issue. Both Mic and Audio work really good when I am in a Call but when using them to be in a call and do something in parallel e.g. listening audio or gaming then the audio quality for the parallel activity (Audio or gaming) is really bad. Any idea if this is can be improved?
Another good review!
Hello! Is Evolve2 65's mic (noise cancellation factor) any better than the Evolve2 40? Or Bluetooth connectivity is its only difference compared to Evolve2 40?
Which variant do you have available right now that I can purchase? I’ve been waiting months for mine through jabra. Also how long does your shipping take?
Hi, I currently use a pair of wired Sennheiser Open Ear Headphones for calls so I can hear myself speak when having a conversation. I am looking to get a bluetooth headset, and the Evolve2 65 looks like it would be a great fit. My only concern is that I won't be able to hear any ambient noise (myself speaking) when having a conversation, and thus stumble over my words and diction. Any insight into what it's like talking into these? I know they don't have ANC, so that's good...
If I pick this up from the charging stand whilst someone is trying to call, will it answer automatically?
Hi Cyon! Apologies for delayed response. I strongly recommend you download the free Jabra Direct software. This allows you to customize the experience. Here's a video I filmed just now sharing the available settings via Jabra Direct: share.vidyard.com/watch/vk3T2PJhh4DT9mQPezQubg?
how does it stand up to wind?
Wich one would be better based on your experience the link 380C or the link 380A
Hey Danny, always loving your reviews ♥ Looking forward to buying the Jabra Evolve 80 but looks like you have no reviews on that one. Why is that?
Hey Danny, were you able to do some testing around having MS vs UC variant? What are are benefits of having MS version if you are in Microsoft ecosystem. Does it make lot of difference if you are stuck with UC? Thanks
@@CallOneInc Thanks Danny for sharing your thoughts. I have been waiting for Evolve2 85 MS version but its impossible to get one in stock. Was wondering if going for a UC version makes more sense since that is available. Thanks
Hello everyone, here from Argentina.
I just want to know: if you have the Logitech Wirelless Zone, Jabra Evolve 75 and Jabra Evolve 2 65 in hand. Which one would you decide on? If the price does not matter.
Any news if there will be an Evolve 2 75 release? If so, date?
Thanks!
great video bro
Hi there, i'm interested to know what would the mic sound would be if you are not speaking and the background is that loud. would the background sound be filtered out the same way as when you are speaking ?
Thanks for this video and I was convinced to buy one. However, after I use it for a few calls working at home, it doesn't sound like it's blocking the unnecessary noise as the other channel can still hear like barking dogs. Yours is amazing and even if you turned on the volume of your TV, you cant hear it through the microphone. Is there any setting for it? Appreciate for any advise.
Call One, Inc. I appreciate your response. Thank you!
Seems like I'm having the same issue. Not dogs barking but chatter from colleagues when they're on a call. Minimum 12 feet away and my caller can hear the conversations around me. Maybe I need to update the firmware.
@@dpnap20 I just solved this issue. It turned out that the volume of the microphone was 100% in my windows settings. I just turned it all the way down to 0%. After that, did some tests and my voce is clear and loud enough but the environment noise is reduced. It is not filtered out completely but there is a significant difference from how it was at first, and how it is now. Hope this helps
If I'm using Macbook Pro 2020, which version of Jabra Evolve 2 65 should I buy, UC or MS?
can you pair 2 devices at the same time? for example using dongle on my pc the BT for my phone
Does it really cuts the background TV sound completely when you are talking or it just reduce other sounds ?
My evolve2 65's noise cancellation seems not working like before. What must have gone wrong?
Great review! Do you know why my evolve 2 65 volume is so small on PC? It works perfect on cellphone, but when I use it on my desktop with USB dongle plugged in, the audio souds very low also the mic...
Thank you so much for watching! You can adjust volume via the headset but you can also use your computers Sound Settings to adjust volume. Have you tried that? Jabra also recommends you contact them directly for support.

This only has PNC not ANC like the 75 correct? Is PNC just as good?
what version do you recommend, this one or the first version evolve 65
does it just connect via usb wireless receiver or bluetooth is mandatory with windows ?
Hi, I have just received my jabra evolve2 65 and I am having a 2 second delay receiving audio from the bluetooth dongle! Is there a way to fix this?
I have downloaded the jabra sound + app and it doesn't seem to help.
Thanks in advance .

i just bought the evolve 2 65 UC.. but the background noise can still be heard by the person i am speaking with, even my typing can be heard.. is there something i am suppose to turn on to get it to lower the background sounds?
hi great video.quick question.if the headset is paired with a laptop and a smartphone. you're in a teams call on the laptop and you have an incoming call to the smartphone and you accept it.once the Call on the smartphone ends (or is rejected) does it automatically switch back to teams? successfully easily and with no conitunuing audio discrepancies in the teams call?
@@CallOneInc thanks. I'm more interested not about the route laptop to smartphone, but the leg back. my plantronics voyager focus uc doesnt seem to handle it well, as once back teams call quality either drops or i cant be heard.hence ... searching for a new headset.i also sent a question to jabra.love your videos.much respect!
Regardless of the wireless feature, do you prefer the Envolve 2 65 over the 40 for the sound quality?
@@CallOneInc Awesome. Thanks for answering!
Can the mic on the Mono version be used on either side? I.e. can it rotate so I can use it on my left as well as right?
@@CallOneInc thanks, a bit challenging, as I'm hard of hearing on my right ear! Are any of the Jabra headsets compatible for both sides? Or would I have to get a stereo version?
@@CallOneInc thanks team, its just my right ear fortunately. My left ear is perfectly OK. I think perhaps the predecessor Jabra Evovle 65 Mono has a fully rotating Mic?
@@CallOneInc thanks guys! Your service and videos are amazing
What do think is better? evolve2 65 or evolve 75, in terms of noise canceling microphone? Thanks.
@@CallOneInc awesome thanks! I have the jabra Evolve 75. When I'm on call, the other person says I did not sound loud enough, although they didn't hear any background noise. Is it your experience?
Would you know if the headset has a Sidetone feature?
I occasionally use Microsoft Teams, mostly use Zoom, and use dictation software everyday (Dragon). Do you recommend the Microsoft Teams (MT) or UC variant? Will the MT variant work just as well for Zoom and dictation or does the UC variant have something that would be more convenient for Zoom and Dictation?
@@CallOneInc Thank you for the details. So, the only difference is really an extra button for Microsoft Teams?
@@CallOneInc I also have this question like Julio Maldonado - would it be wise to buy the MS Teams variant just to get the extra button, even if I'm primarily on multiple other platforms?
Do the Jabra Evolve2 40 and Jabra Evolve2 65 have the same microphone sound? Evolve2 40 sounds a little better to me
Hi ritualcrew ritualcrew! From tests I've done, corded headsets typically have better microphone transmit audio quality vs wireless headset. And personally, I think the Evolve2 30 has stronger mic performance. Here's a comparison video we did with Evolve 30 II, Evolve2 30 and Evolve2 40 th-cam.com/video/cHSdt69IPA0/w-d-xo.html
I got the Evolve2 65 and I'm not as happy as I wish. My experience with the background noise cancellation is not as impressive as shown in this video. I don't have a TV playing within 6ft away from me BUT my son has his tablet watching TH-cam videos and he's about 14ft away and listening back to my Teams meeting recordings, i'm hearing this tablet. I didn't expect to hear this because in this video, I am barely hearing your TV at volume 30 so for 14feet away and a tablet, I expected it to be pretty quiet. Firmware updated and using 380 dongle. Any suggestions?
I almost feel like asking for a replacement because the comparison between this (and other similar videos) and what i'm hearing is so stark. One video the guy said he was in Starbucks and individuals couldn't place him properly as being on the road.
@@CallOneInc Thanks for you response. I live on the 5th floor of a 6 storey apartment building. My living/dining rooms don't have any separation other than a couch. It's rectangle shape - 24 feet long, 12 feet wide. So we are basically at both ends of that rectangle. The apartment opens u via sliding doors to the outside. Because I am high up, I do get some "city" noises coming in e.g. car alarms, horns. I don't live on a busy street at all - it's pretty quiet because it's a dead end (cul-de-sac). So I can probably count on 1 hand the number of car alarms that go off in a day. It's not a lot. But I was hoping the headset would block out even my son on his tablet in the living room couch while i'm in the dining room on my table.
Thanks for your assistance.
#Call One Inc. Clarification with Evolve 2 65. 1. Can I use that in office space where the crowd nearby, how is noise cancellations
2. How about using it for cisco webex? It comes with a USB charger correct?
Call One, Inc. Since the MS variant also works with the other UC platforms, why get the the UC variant?
Call One, Inc. Thanks! On Amazon.ca, the MS variant is much cheaper, so I figure it’s better to go with that since I don’t have anything to lose.
I have the evolve 65 and evolve2 65. The mic of the evolve2 65 picks up so much background noise compared to the 1st edition. I can not replicate the background noise canceling you show in the video.
Hi Josh Filina! Setups vary which can impact performance. However, I feel the Jabra Evolve2 30 has stronger mic than Evolve2 65 and Evolve2 85. I just listened to this video using an ANC headset and it does NOT block out 100% of noise. I can clearly hear the sounds from the TV coming through the mic. However, it is a much better experience than without a headset. I would also like to understand your environment. What is the source of noise? Some noises, especially sharp loud bursts like dogs barking are very difficult to block due to how noise canceling technology works.
@@CallOneInc The mic is picking up very low ceiling fan noise
Do you have the Evolve2 65 USB-C (UC variance) in stock and ready to ship to NY?
If we order today, when can we expect the product to arrive?
Moreover, how is the audio quality if we also use this product for music, movies, videos, games?
Thank you for the informative and quick response.
Call One, Inc. that’s crazy. I ordered the usb c 85 . Prob won’t ship ever
Hey Dan, are these or the Evolve2 85 suitable to be connected via 3.5 mm to the Laptop for work?
@@CallOneInc I will save some money and get the Evolve2 85, more for listenning to music and to attend casual meetings as a replacement of my Plantronics SPRO 16, which are good but not awesome for the price I paid for them, sad there is no "test before buying" in my country, I have to actually buy and pray. Cheers!
nice video bro
Must test Airpods Pro too plz
Can you have a PC and a cell phone connected at the same time? and will they change to each other automatically? And which is better the 65 or the 75?
Just curious if you prefer Jabra or Plantronics?
Could you please try Link 380 with 85h, Currently I have link 370 with 85h headset working, so I'm assuming it's going to work :) I ordered USB-C version, but it's on backorder.
@@CallOneInc awesome thanks!
@@CallOneInc Danny, can you also share your thoughts on MS vs UC version? Having MS version really makes a lot of difference if one uses MS ecosystem for work?
Does the noise cancel feature still function when connected via Bluetooth to a cell phone? I bought this set and people complain still about background noise
@@CallOneInc i tested it with finger snapping and plastic bags in doors, then went outside to hear in the wind. All noises were audible to the line
Thank you very much for the explanation... Could someone confirm that the microphone of the evolve2 65 has ANC feature? Or it only does passive noise cancellation?
Call One, Inc. thanks! So, now I understand that ANC only exist for speakers and not microphones. Is that right?
@@CallOneInc Thank you!
I have the Jabra Evolve 2 65 for some reason when using Teams the mute button is disable. I try everything. Help

what is the difference between usb A and usb C option?
Hi Drake A, Jabra provides USB-A and USB-C type connectivity to support the USB port types your computer has. If your computer has USB-A ports, the Evolve2 65 with USB-A dongle would be a better fit. If you have a computer with USB-C ports, then the Evolve2 65 variant with USB-C dongle would be better.

Hi Call one, let’s say after 3 to 4 years of using the jabra evolve 2 65, the built in batteries went dead, can I still use the headset via wired USB connection? Please answer it. Thank you so much
Hi Charles, I submitted your question to Jabra. These are fairly new. I don't know if they have real-world experience with these headsets with that length of time but it doesn't hurt to ask. But, yes, you can use as corded USB audio device if the battery dies completely however, not certain if you can after 3 to 4 years. I'll let you know how Jabra responds.

Hi Charles, Here's Jabra's Response:
Hi Danny,
Sorry for delay. Expectation is the headset will work when wired USB when headset battery is dead, although I don't readily have data stating that specific use case.
Hope this helps! Thanks for submitting your question!
Does it make a sound when you mute yourself? So you know for sure you are on mute?
When move boom mic up or press mute button, you do get an audible notification "Muted" and when you move boom mic back down or press mute button again you hear "Unmuted".
