Evolve2 65 Flex Wireless Stereo Headset - Bluetooth, Noise-Cancelling ClearVoice Technology & Hybrid ANC - Works with All Leading UC Platforms Such As Zoom & Google Meet - Black

Fits very well. Functions 10/10, love the quality sound. Cheap compared to top tier headsets. I use this daily for work. battery lasts a looot! Connects via usb or wireless.

Was looking for: - All day comfort (on-the-ear, but the cushions are amazingly soft) - Cool on the ears - Good noise control on the mic - Good sound on the mic - Portable - Reliable connectivity (either through the Bluetooth dongle or USB-C, both work great!) - Long battery life - Physical mute (you fold up the mic) - Comfort is good while wearing glasses. The Evolve2 65 Flex headphones delivered! Bonuses: The audio quality is pretty good, enough to enjoy music if I have a break. The (wool?) case is very convenient and seems durable (had it for a month or so of hot-desk use (where I pack-up every day), still looks new). The bluetooth dongle is small and very effective (the head-set prefers it to the phone, so if my laptop is on, that's where my audio connects even if my phone is on). The "Soundscape" included in the phone app (built-in looped sounds: rain, thunder, waves, fans, waterfall, etc.) is a wonderful calm oasis in the middle of a busy day or noisy room. It does all the things I need it to. Improvements? They could be a -little- more comfy if they were around the ear and not on the ear. The noise cancelling is so-so (I mean, they are on the ear, so they have that to deal with. Not as good as Sony over the ear or in-ear (both of which I own from the 2023 gen of those products)). I usually set them to "off" and that actually blocks more of the chatter in the room than the ANC. YMMV. Overall love them though. The Sony products I mentioned did not give me the comfort or reliability I needed for a full work day. The Jabra headset definitely does. Highly recommend for a long day at an on-the-phone job. (I am on the phone 90-100% of an 8 hour day 5 days a week) in an office. They are not tight enough for on-the-go work I would say. So if you are on flights/moving around a lot, these likely would slip off (again, they are on-the-ear). Really wish I could give 4.8, I think that's more accurate. They are not perfect, but they do the job very well so gave 5 because that's closer to how I feel about them.

Just got off a call where the person on the other end was complaining that my voice was very quiet and difficult to understand. I switched to the phone mic, spoke at the same level, and the other party was very grateful. I've grown to be rather frustrated with this headset since my priority when making the purchase was to improve my voice quality in calls. --- Update after 3 months of use: I've started hearing complaints from colleagues more frequently that my microphone cuts out during meetings. This is while in a quiet room with no background noise that needs cancelling, so it shouldn't be an overzealous voice isolation feature. This choppiness occurs whether using it with a straight Bluetooth connection to my laptop or with the USB-C dongle. It seems that giving the mic a little flick 'fixes' it briefly when it flares up. --- Original review: I have another pair of Jabra Elite 7 Pro earbuds, but coworkers regularly commented that my voice quality was poor on calls either on Zoom, Teams, Slack Huddles, or on the phone. So I picked these up. Made the purchase on Jan 2 at a sale price of $187.70, which I see as an excellent value. In short, my goal of improving on the Elite 7 Pro was absolutely met. - I prefer the sound that comes from the Evolve2 65 Flex for music, and the voice quality on the other side is significantly improved. - ANC is fine but not fantastic, and I find that to be acceptable. - The voice isolation when I'm speaking is really good. - I haven't experienced any of the issues in other reviews about the mic cutting out--hoping that holds out! It seems this may be a byproduct of the voice isolation feature. The headset does a good job of cutting out background noise, and the speakers voice may be getting mixed in with the background that's cut. Not sure if this could be remedied by changing any settings with the headset or not, but I have not experienced this as a significant issue. I usually work in pretty quiet settings though and haven't had calls in wind or other more challenging situations yet. - Connecting the mic on Windows didn't happen automatically with direct Bluetooth as it did with the speakers (rather than the included Jabra adapter which is recommended). By that I mean the headset mic wasn't available in a Zoom call with the headset paired and connected. But this was through selecting the headset mic in the OS Sound Settings, making it available. I understand the benefits of using the Jabra adapter, but I like the convenience of a quick direct Bluetooth setup.

The Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex is an excellent product in terms of voice quality and overall usability. However, the ear‑cushion covers are a significant weak point. They are very delicate and tend to tear quickly with normal use, which is disappointing for a premium headset. I rarely use this headset, yet I already need to order a second replacement set of ear‑cushion covers. Each replacement costs another $10–$15, which really shouldn’t be the case for a product in this price range. I take very good care of my devices, and this headset has always been stored in its pouch when not in use. I’ve used similar products from Sony and Beats, and their ear‑cushion quality has been noticeably better and far more durable. Given the cost of the Evolve2 65 Flex, I would expect the same level of durability from Jabra. It would be helpful if the ear cushions were made more robust and if an extra pair were included with the purchase. The rest of the headset performs exceptionally well, and addressing this issue would make it a truly outstanding product.

I had Jabra headsets in the past because of company wide decisions on the hw to be used for conference matters. Found it pretty good years back and after one month usage I would say that the Evolve 65 had fulfilled my expectations so far. There are minor issues that I’m still looking to address such as the mute sync ( sometimes with the mic arm “closed” Teams shows that the mic is enabled; and moving the mic arm back and forth puts in sync the mute status) and bluetooth synchronization with my mobile after the headset takes a nap… it takes some minutes for the mobile to get bluetooth reconnected, but you use to believe that the headset is off). When tue headset is stored in its bag, the two cups keep strongly pressing between each other, so, to prevent any damages, when stored, I put a piece of paper in between. Teams voice quality, great (that was my main driver), wireless range, good, battery ok (would sat that it last for at least 6 hours), when I feel cups are uncomfortable, I just adjust them to release pressure, (no comfort issues with my head at all), ANC does it work to suppress unwanted noises (other than human voice),without nothing being heard through the cups, you may hear noises but a much lower level. Final mark: 4.5

I bought the headphones + wireless charging pad. The headset is comfortable and the sound quality to the headphone user/ANC is very good. Sound quality to remote listener is good, although the noise reduction for remote listener is not excellent (based on listening to recordings and intentionally creating different background noises). Sometimes it filters room noise, sometimes it doesn't. When not talking on the mic, background noise is somewhat effectively filtered. As soon as you start talking over the mic, background noise comes through, completely unfiltered. This includes different types of background noise, whether it's music, white noise, or even keyboard clicking while typing. I'm not sure if this is supposed to be how it works, but seems very low tech. Strangely, the sidetone feature that allows you to hear your own voice in the headset doesn't itself seem to filter environmental noise *at all* even when not talking on the mic. This is distracting and it makes it feel like the remote listener is getting more extraneous room noise from the environment than they may actually be. I did turn sidetone volume up in the app settings, but that's because I don't hear it if I don't. So overall the headset works well, but remote listener noise reduction is disappointing given the high cost of the headphones. The rest of this review is about the wireless charging pad/charging of the headset. > The picture shows the headphones in an upright position with the charging side of the headphones standing up sideways on the charger. It's a bit unstable in that orientation, and the headphones can flop over if you don't position it just so or if you bump the table it's on. You can instead use the folding/twisting capability of the headphones to make it more gravitationally stable, which I thought would be the answer, but (see next bullets). > The sweet spot for placing the headphones so it actually charges can be hit and miss. I can place in what seems to be the exact center of the pad, and it doesn't charge. I wasn't really aware this was happening until one morning the headphone battery was completely exhausted after sitting on the pad all night. I had to pivot the charging pad to show the LED indicator light more clearly and I then have to jostle the headphones a couple centimeters this way and that before I get a light that indicates it's charging. > Even when you get the light that indicates it's charging, some random time later it can stop charging while on the pad, like it's no longer on the sweet spot even though nothing moved. You have to push it around again or take it off the pad and put it back on before it registers and starts charging again. > It does seem to be more stable with being able to maintain a charge link if I use in the pictured upright position, but as above, this has downsides. > The percent-charged figure that shows on the Jabra Direct app is a little dodgy. I can leave the headset on all night and it will be in the low 80s the next morning. I'm not sure if this indicates it really isn't fully charging or if the percent being reported by the app is incorrect. > The percent-charged value showing on the app will immediately jump down ~10% as the headphones hits the charger (either wired or wireless). If I take it back off the charger, the percentage jumps back up. It's very consistent in this behavior and occurs on different computers. It's irritating and makes the charging experience feel unreliable. > With the above going on, it's hard to tell if the headset really does charge fully in the two hour period it is supposed to. My old headset has a charging cradle where you drop one ear of the headphone onto the cradle to make a physical connection with the charger but without having to plug in a cable. It was convenient, gravitationally stable and very reliable for charging. I wish I had that option here. I suppose I can skip the wireless pad and plug into a USB cable, but that is really a step backward in convenience from my older (and frankly, much cheaper) headset. Based on the charger and remote listener noise reduction experience, I am rating 3/5. Still deciding if I return the headphones.

This headset truly impressed me. The Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex is lightweight, comfortable, and thoughtfully designed. I love that it announces battery level and connected devices, and the software makes updates effortless. The folding microphone, compact design, and included case make it perfect for everyday use and travel. Sound quality is excellent, and calls are clear and natural. Very happy with this purchase - highly recommend.

My biggest gripe is the lifetime. Lasted maybe a year. Tops. Then started to exhibit symptoms like mic choppiness. It basically unusable. Jabra has been pretty solid in the past. Maybe I just got a lemon, but I'll go with other brands for now.
