Jabra Evolve2 85 Wireless PC Headset – Noise Cancelling UC Certified Stereo Headphones with Long-Lasting Battery – USB-C Bluetooth Adapter – Black

I kept these after testing about 10 different headsets. This is the only one that delivered effective active noise cancellation on both its audio (headphones) and the microphone. They are pricey, but completely worth it if you need true noise cancellation as I do. They have a very premium build and are comfortable.

I like these headphones! The Jabra Evolve2 85s are really comfortable—I can wear them for hours without any pressure or pain. The noise canceling works great, especially in noisy places or during calls. The battery lasts forever, which is awesome because I hardly ever have to charge them. Overall, just a solid pair of headphones that do everything really well.

I bought the original Elite 85h back in 2020. I loved them from the very first time I put them on. They're soft on the ears to the point that you can forget you have them on. There's no need to fiddle with any sort of buttons because they just turn on when you unfold them and turn off when you fold them back up. They also have a killer battery life. I went sometimes weeks without ever needing to plug them in. But eventually the day came where they stopped working reliably. I got a loud popping noise in one ear and struggled to get them to connect. I figured since they were well past warranty that was just the end of the line for them. I had worn them nearly every day since I got them and had a lot of use on them. So, I figured why not just spring for the next generation of the same thing. I couldn't have been more wrong. The Evolve2 85h is not the same. Its not even in the same class as the Elite 85h. Evolve2 85h (E2 hereafter) is cheap. Its all made of this flimsy plastic all the way around. On the outer side of the cups - plastic. Unlike the Elite 85h (E1 hereafter) which have this very soft mesh fabric on the cups and the band. The E2 has these tiny buttons on the underside of the right cup for volume which rattle if you turn your head, whereas the E1 has the volume buttons integrated under the fabric of the cups so you can press on the cup rather than a detached button like the E2. Also, the hinges on the E2 as so flimsy and lose that they swivel open/closed if you're just holding them off of your head. The E1 has a more robust hinge that it takes a little force to close so that you aren't shutting them off on accident. Well, the E2 doesn't shut off when closed which adds an extra step. I have to not only fold them to put them away but also get something small enough to flip this tiny, loose switch on the side as well? And the battery life on the E2 is HORRENDOUS. Just in the course of me typing them (probably about the same speed as you reading it), the E2 has lost 6% of its battery. Whereas the E1 for comparison is still at the same battery percentage that it was when I started typing. In short, Jabra made a solid product with the E1 and then someone thought they could add this terrible boom to it and sell it for more using cheaper parts since they'd market to larger organizations. TERRIBLE. I'm looking for some lightly used E1 now and returning this garbage.

I really like the headphones. I use them every day for work. Sound insulation, clarity of sound from the boom mic, battery life, comfort, etc. are all great. They are one of the only headphones I could find with bluetooth, ANC, and a boom mic. When I'm on calls, people can have loud conversations in the same room as me and no one can hear them on the other end. There are a couple things that are oddly annoying, though. - I have my headphones paired to both my phone (iPhone) and my laptop (mac) directly (not using the jabra dongle). When connected to both and listening to music on my laptop, the music occasionally (every couple minutes) stutters for a second (and even causes my BT mouse on my laptop to stutter). It's annoying. - Sometimes when audio is starting or stopping on my laptop (Youtube Shorts, etc) I will lose audio. If I wait for 10 seconds or so then my laptop will show that my headphones are not connected. If I physically turn off the headphones, they will stay on for 5sec. or so before I hear them turn off, then I can turn them back on and they will reconnect. I contacted Jabra once about this, and they told me they only support their devices connected to their own bluetooth dongle. Since I don't use the dongle, I'm out of luck. When I have tried to use the dongle in the past, the range was poor - plus it's a device sticking out of my laptop that I'm afraid is going to break when I put it in and out of my backpack, etc. I've just decided to live with it, and occasionally disable BT on my phone so it doesn't interrupt my music. They say they can't control every manufacturer's BT hardware - which I get, but never had another device do this.

The sound quality is top notch however I was very disappointed in the microphone noise cancellation tech. I now just use the headset for sound and setup a Shure mic with a Scarlet Solo. What the headset does well: Sound quality - calls, and media sound great ANC (not mic noise cancelling) - Looking to block out noise, these do a great job Connecting to multiple devices - I connect this to my PC and phone all day. I only have an issue sometimes with my PC connection. What it doesn't do well: Blocking out fan background noise The mute button on the mic arm is a pain to get to. I always have an issue finding it.

Great for home office....comfortable enough for long flights, good noise cancellation and microphone, good case...no complaints so far - battery life seems good

Very good for office use. Nice and comfortable. No complaints so far

Llevo 2 meses usándolos y estoy muy contenta con el producto, tiene sus detalles pero encontrándole funcionan bien, me libera muy bien los oídos, no pesan (los tengo puestos todo el día y no me cansan), hace un correcto switch con el celular, la aplicación de Jabra en mi opinión es pobre y lo único malo es el precio. -----Actualizacion 2023--------- Tengo con ellos cerca de 2 años y sigo satisfecha con la compra, espero te sirvan mis comentarios. PROS - Me gusta mucho el ANC que maneja, se nota el cambio en la cancelacion de ruido - El microfono es muy bueno y el poder ocultarlo es lo mejor - Funciona muy bien con Teams y Zoom - Funciona muy bien el modo ambiente, cuando quiero estar al tanto de mi alrededor, los microfonos que tiene ayudan mucho. - Tener varias opciones de conexion lo hace versatil: BT o jack 3.5 - Cuando escucho musica se pone en pausa al retirarmelos y al colocarlos nuevamente continua la musica. - Es multipunto a 2 dispositivos, es decir, tengo conectado mi celular y equipo al mismo tiempo. Cuando adquiero auriculares busco que sean multipunto. - Despues de 2 años, se conecta automaticamente a los 2 dispositivos sin problema, no necesito emparejarlos varias veces, ya hasta olvide como hacerlo. - Puedo estar un dia de trabajo sin cargarlos, sin embargo despues de 2 años, la vida de la bateria ya no rinde igual, lo cual es normal. CONTRAS - A veces no se conecta correctamente a los dispositivos y debo reiniciarlo. - Cuando los llevo en el cuello dejan de funcionar y debo reiniciarlos. - Es un equipo delicado que se deben cuidar, sino dejaran de funcionar y por la inversion es lo que menos se desea. - El multipunto a veces falla, sin embargo creo que es la tecnologia de este tipo ya que tengo otros auriculares multipunto de otra marca y tiene los mismos detalles, pero es algo manejable.

Buy for husband’s birthday present. But when trying myself i really feel this headphone is really good! The noise cancelling is good and i love that the boom arm can be hidden when lift up. Plus you have an extra button on the mic to mute which does not present in the previous 65 version

Before I would do my sales calls on a generic headset and would get complaints as my peer's voices would leak into my mic. Using this with the usb connector has stopped all complaints and even if my colleagues are loud they cannot hear them. I tested it by listening to the recorded audio and you can't hear anything other than yourself. Combine it with ai noise cancellation and you are winning all the way. Worth the investment for any serious professionals.
