There’s a desktop option called the Jabra Direct app, which provides some of the same customization, but isn’t quite as user-friendly as the mobile one. In short, the software functionality that comes with these headphones is all there. Jabra SafetoneTM is the only user hearing protection on the Jabra Evolve2 75. However, the Jabra Evolve2 85 has PeakStop, EU noise at work, G616, and Jabra SafeToneTM to protect user hearing. This gives users the guarantee that they are safe from any sudden burst of audio and other impairing sounds.

The arm doesn't stay in the lowest position ... it just moves a little bit upwards, what results in a slightly reduced quality.While I enjoy the Sony headset for focused music listening experiences, the Jabra Evolve2 85 is the nearly perfect headset for the work week. The Sony and Bose models are decent for personal calls, but for business calls I want the highest quality mics for clear communications. I also spend all day on Microsoft Teams so this integration on the headset is invaluable. The Jabra Evolve2 85 has more certifications and compliance with more UC platforms than the Evolve2 75 to put itself higher and offer more versatility to professionals. Whether you work from home or in an office, Jabra’s products definitely cover you.

Each of my colleagues said that my voice quality was poor. I couldn't believe that so I tested it by myself and what should I say ... they all are totally right. The microphone quality is garbage. Compared to my 30€ Superlux Headset, it's a total waste of money. First I thought it was a OSX issue. Then I switched to my Win10 system and the same annoying quality. This is not what I hoped to receive for 320€. When you finally find a headset that you just can't do without, it's good to know you don't have to. They've used the advanced battery efficiency technology to squeeze every last minute of juice out of this powerful headset. The Jabra Sound Plus app is available for iOS and Android devices. The smartphone app has many similar settings as the Jabra Direct app with a few other options, including using the earcup microphone for calls rather than the boom arm mic.Jabra Evolve2 85 comes in two variants, Unified Communications and Microsoft Teams Certified. There is only one version of Jabra Evolve2 75. Since February 2023 there have been no recent updates to the Jabra Evolve2 75. However, the Jabra Evolve2 85 recently received a firmware update. This update has improved the noise cancellation capabilities of these headphones, and provides support for connectivity with the Jabra Sound+ app. Jabra Evolve2 75 vs. Jabra Evolve2 85:Which One is Better for You? I am a bit disappointed the charging cradle comes at a surcharge, because these headphones are already so expensive and the use case of plopping them down on your desk to charge makes so much sense.

Carrying bag, Inflight adapter, USB-C charging cable, Jabra Link 380a USB Adapter, 3.5 mm audio cable Some of that is due to the insane mic array and the design aspects required of having a seamlessly foldable boom. But some of that is related to the software and headset integration. Having UC and Microsoft Teams certifications come with some firmware hurdles and licensing costs. Then there’s the sound quality. The best way I can describe the Evolve2s is that they are a work-oriented pair of headphones that happen to do music very well. When you throw on a pair of Sony WH or Bose 700 headphones, you get a pair of music headphones that happen to do phone calls well. This slight distinction is important as you’re dissecting how the 85s sound for music listening. At first, it's a really great idea to have a microphone arm on this headset which can be folded or hidden while just listening to music or watching a movie. Great idea to combine business and private use-cases. But then this construction ... that can't be your answer Jabra! Let's say, you create an upgraded version, maybe the Evolve2+ where all those issues are fixed, I would definitely try it again.It seems like Jabra has taken a subtler approach with the ANC on these headphones, and that makes it more capable and less uncomfortable for sensitive ears than something like Apple’s AirPods Max. To be fair, you won’t be amazed by the amount of noise cancellation, and I do think that Jabra’s “commute” vs. “office” vs. other customizable modes in the app is overselling the capabilities a bit. But in general, this worked well for me as an all-day work headset. Finding a pair of headphones that offer excellent audio quality and provide comfort for long wear is key, and whether you’re listening to music or on a work call, Jabra headsets are specially designed for you. Jabra, please ... never ever, you tested this in a real environment before you threw it on the market. They've built this headset with powerful leak-tolerant 40mm speakers. Factor in advanced digital chipset and the latest AAC codec, and your music will be sounding better than ever. Good things come to those who wait. This is the audio experience you've been waiting for.

The two headsets are on par on many fronts, like their design and features, sound, audio quality, and connectivity. The power disparity between them is negligible. However, that does not mean Jabra was clueless about making a superior headset only to have the same features as a former product. The Jabra Evolve2 85 has better energy efficiency and instills more confidence in the user about the battery life and power consumption.Hands-Free Profile (HFP), Headset Profile (HSP), Serial Port Profile (SPP), Advanced Audio Distribution Profile (A2DP), Audio/Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP), Phonebook Access Profile (PBAP) The rest of the story is pretty typical here for office-style headsets. You can connect these headphones via Bluetooth 5.0 and access all of the headset controls you’d expect that way. You can also connect them via 3.5-millimeter aux in a pinch. The software side of the equation is also pretty well thought out. I’ve used the Sound+ app for other Jabra headphones—particularly the Elite true wireless earbud series. Most of the same features are found here, like a powerful five-band graphic EQ, some thoughtful presets, and even a way to customize these settings for different parts of your day. Box contents: Headphones, Jabra Link 380 BT adapter, 1.2 meter USB-C to USB-A cable, 1.2 meter 3.5mm audio cable, airplane adapter, and carrying case. The comparison for headsets in this space is tough. Many of the office-designated headsets have smaller drivers and aren’t particularly good at music, while larger headsets with boom microphones tend to be flashy and more gaming oriented.
