I have both 65 Flex and 85 and find it quite surprising the mic quality is much better on the 65 Flex (considering 6 vs. 10 mics). Seems many of the comments here also agree with 65 Flex. Thanks for doing these comparisons. I spent way too much time annoying my wife and colleagues asking, "Hey, is this better? Can you hear me well? On a scale from 1-10, how does this sound?" 😅
Haha glad to help! Ya I think since the Evolve2 65 flex uses the latest processors in the headset it’s just able to perform better. The Evolve2 85 is several years old now at this point.
@@HeadsetAdvisorthanks for the honest review, though in 65 flex review said it was never going to be as good ANC as 85.. But after hearing this samples I'm closer to buy it, I need isolate very noisy environment next to a building construction.. ¿What do you think of 65 flex for it? Thanks
I just bought the Flex as I travel a lot for business and spend most of my days on Team Calls. It is very good for that purpose. Light weight, calls clear. I am very happy with purchase and I carry several headsets for different needs (airpods pro for the commute, Bose 700 for flights, Jabra 65 flex for in office). The downsides that I see are the ANC is really not much, and far far off my airpods pro or Bose 700). If I was in a loud environment I would prefer the others (although maybe the 65 is better for the listener - I have had problems with the airpods and Bose on this). This is probably also linked to the light weight and minimal passive blocking. I am actually happy with that as I do not work with a blender, so a little ANC to take the edge off background noise is useful but they would not be great in a noisy environment. Secondly the connection management is decidely dodgy. For voice it is super. It links to your computer and phone like a limpet mine and does not let go ....Great for calls, BUT if you are trying to stream music, and a call comes in it cancels the music and you cannot restart it (You can see it playing, but no noise). Fine for me as I am not someone who plays music while working and I appreciate a good phone system, but if you want something for both music and calls this is something that does not work well. Hopefully they will sort out with a firmware update as there are plenty of complaints on this online and it was not the case on my earlier JABRA models. It may be better if you connect to your computer using bluetooth, instead of dongle, but I would not recommend this as I have tried in the past with an older model and the call quality deteriorated a lot. The dongle does more than you think. SUMMARSING: Great lightweight office headphones. Just dont get it if you want strong ANC (eg on the train, or work in a factory) or want to listen to music and take calls on your computer. Decide your compromises. I dont think they can fix ANC (decide if you want a heavier headphone eg 75 or 85) but watch out for firmware updates that will probably improve connectivity.
Thank you for the in depth feedback very well stated. Yes music isn’t going to be good as Bose and certainly not the ANC is not comparable. In regards to the music issue I’m sure there will be a firmware update soon. I don’t recommend connect direct to Bluetooth you lose out on the call control features, access to Jabra direct, and more. Thanks again for your feedback!
I totally agree -- I also own a 65 flex for some weeks now and the noise cancelling of the microphone is excellent (I work a lot in noisy environments like busy cafes), while the ANC capabilties are quite minimalistic. This is maybe also due to the fact that the headset is not really overear (but "onear") so a lot of noise can slip through. If this is not a problem for you then the 65 flex is a really excellent choice!
Evolve2 65 flex had the best performance. Sometimes a bit more robotic than the other mics. But I prefer to be a bit robotic than others hearing the blender or dogs barking 😅. However I would never blend during a call, maybe a espresso machine is a more realistic example. I owned the evolve2 65, sold it, the headband was hurting my big head... Evolve2 65 flex is really nice and soft, plus compact !
curious, the size issue... i also have a x-large hat size and find some nice headsets just get too tight (especially one speaker models where the other side just pushes into your temple on the other side)... the Flex is more comfy for you than the base 65 model? Does it stay on your head when you look down or does it slip off? that is my concern with the Flex model...
10:20 WOW thanks for thest tests. Exactly what I need. I work in a shared office and don't want other peoples voice (and other sounds) going in my mic :)
I also noticed the 2 65 and the 2 85 [the oldest headsets] don't employ a noise gate once you stop talking so you still hear the environment [muffled though] when you stop talking. I never liked noise gates because you almost have to say "hey" before you start actually talking else they may miss your initial word [like a person's name if your addressing them
You're spot on and we noticed the same thing about the noise gate feature being added in a number of new headsets. From what we're hearing as chipsets and Bluetooth continue to improve, so will the noise cancelling microphones while keeping very good clarity.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Yes, UNDERSTANDING arriving on the other end is the most important thing. I'm shopping because I literally have people "giving up" on meetings because the sound quality + different accents produces "I don't understand what they are saying" Noise gating is one of the WORST inhibitions of understanding. Of all of these, the 65 non-flex is the ONLY one that seems like it will handle the problem I'm trying to solve. The volume fluxuations on all of the others are completely intolerable for what I'm trying to solve.
Sorry, but the Jabra Evolve 2 75 has horrible noise cancellation I am not exactly sure how you got it to cancel anything. I was so disappointed with this headset. I tried upgrading the firmware and resetting it. I wish you would do the mic test without using team viewer or other software that has noise-canceling features so we know what to expect from just the headset. Now I'm just trying to resell my Jabra 2 75 so I can recoup the loss.
Sorry to hear your experience. Not sure how you mean by "team viewer or software that has noise-canceling features", but if you're implying we're using something to try and give inaccurate results, that's false. We connect the headset to the ThinkPad laptop you see in the video and record through Windows Sound Recorder. Have you checked your computer to see if you have a setting called "Intel smart sound"? This setting has caused a ton of audio issues for headsets and once disabled could help. ua-cam.com/video/O8BVp8eHF_k/v-deo.html
@@HeadsetAdvisor I'm implying that when I plug my Jabra Evolve 2 75 headset in I expect it to have similar results to what I hear in your videos but it fails hard. If it was a cheap headset I wouldn't care but when I hear it blocking out a blender in your videos and I can't even get it to block out the sound of my keyboard when I type that is a huge letdown. I can only assume the noise cancellation for the mic is on the software side ie Teamviewer with the noise cancellation feature turned on. I've tried all of your tutorials disconnected the dongle, updated the firmware, and disabled drivers. Nothing works. I've also seen from your past videos that other people had issues with the evolve 2 75 microphone as well. I just want a noise-canceling bt microphone that works out of the box without having to do any kind of dance. Can you recommend a headset for around $300 to $400 dollars that have a strong noise-cancellation microphone and is not a Jabra product? Sorry, I can't risk getting burned by another Jabra product again.
@@DigitalNomadInstitute we hear you. Maybe we can get on a video call and test a number of headsets for you to hear the differences. From our experience the results vary depending on the environment and headset you choose. We’ve found the Evolve2 75 seems to be the most debated mic performance we’ve seen. Some have your experience and others the total opposite 🤷♂️ What’s your thoughts on that idea?
@@DigitalNomadInstitute I have the same issue with mu Jabra Evolve 2 75. tried last 2 days to find solution with Jabra support, looks like it the headset has to be replaced under warranty...
Your results are sole reasons why I went with the Evolve2 65 Flex. I just can't understand how the 75 and 85 sound so much worse with heavy background noise.
A little torn between getting Jabra Evolve2 55 or 65 Flex. Folding design is cool but unimportant for me. Price difference is unimportant to me. I spend a long time on conference calls some days. It seems like if I go 55 I get more comfort while if I go 65 Flex I get better battery life, better-sounding music. Are there other notable factors I'm missing?
@@greg6162 The Engage 65 or 75 is good for desk phones as well. We just created a video on this here ua-cam.com/video/uJclAcKbOps/v-deo.htmlsi=HiU3Uv8ArHmlh12i
I’m trying to decide between the Evolve 2 50 and 55. My one concern is the wire durability over time on the Evolve 2 50 (I’m assuming we can’t replace this wire on our own) - would I be stuck in a situation where the wire needs to be twisted, adjusted in a certain manner to ensure I can hear the person on the other end of the call. The other concern on the Evolve 2 55 is whether I would encounter any lag while using the dongle provided. Would really appreciate if you could help provide your opinion :)
With any wired headset that's the risk but you are covered under warranty for atleast 2 years. From our testing the Evolve2 55 can have a have a 1-2 second delay when it's first establishing connection to the Dongle but overall it's seamless. Feel free to contact us if you want to narrow down the best way to go for your specific needs headsetadvisor.com/pages/contact-us
@@HeadsetAdvisorThanks to your review, I’ve decided to go ahead with buying the Evolve 2 50. I’ve been using them for about 3 months, and the experience has been great. Most importantly, they’re comfortable and others can’t hear the office noise around me!
I've had 2 sets of evolve 2 85 and a set of evolve 65. When they work they're great but they're so glitchy. If you're locked in, they're great. But if you pop in to ms teams, open a browser, mess about with excel, the 85 just does what it wants and the other end gets an ear full of the office cause it's not using the boom mic, it's switched to headphone mic. I tried to stick with the evolve2 85 hence the 2nd set but i'm moving on from Jabra as soon as i find an alternative.
I've upgraded my old Jabra evolve 65. They were super comfy and had a great performance. I bought newest model Jabra Evolve 2 65 , but I have a really problem as they are so uncomfortable. Does anybody has the same issue ? What model would you recommend for great performance and comfortable use? Thank you!!!!
Does the speakers just feel tight on your ears? You can bend the middle of the head to make the speakers further apart to reduce clamping force which can certainly help make the model you have more comfortable. From the Jabra line I find the evolve2 55 and 65 flex to be the most comfortable from the lineup
Thanks for the review! I've noticed even the most expensive wireless offering doesn't have mic sound as clear as inexpensive wired mics have. Are there any alternatives, with a custom wireless channel maybe?
You're welcome and thanks for watching! The reason the microphone performance is different is because business headsets add microphone noise cancellation. With this comes a slight sacrifice of best pure voice quality for gain of background noise being reduced to be heard clearly, which is a must for most people working from home, on the go or in the office. There's no business headsets we're aware of with the ability to turn this feature on or off.
Tell work admin to contact us info@headsetadvisor.com this makes no sense to maximize the headsets! They are plug and play but you’ll lose some functionality like updating firmware, settings, and possibly answering/ending phone calls wirelessly. You can shop our best sellers here headsetadvisor.com/collections/best-selling-headsets-for-work
plug n play but if admin has restrictions and for device to have updated firmware, you can update via jabra direct SW installed to your personal pc or laptop. you can also update SW and headset settings via android/ios app of jabra
Great video thank you. Does the once with ANC has an low static sound in the background when it's just connected without music and such ? The once in ears has and that gives me a headache so I am curios to know if these over head/on ear has that as well ?
do any of these headsets keep their STEREO profile when in a call? afaik, the Evolve2 65 goes to MONO when in calls I kinda want to use them for music, work (calls) and gaming.. the latter having to need stereo
Unfortunately not. Any that we’ve tested go into mono mode when the mic is active. You could consider getting any headset of your choice then add a Modmic which will accomplish the goal you’re looking for. ua-cam.com/video/Tut1KDa_S3M/v-deo.htmlsi=TigTpxLV1kAiVVs7
It should be plug and play but you just want to ensure your audio settings are set to the microphone and speakers of the headset. Sometimes customers are hearing through the headset but the mic is actually defaulted to the computer microphone, which doesn't give great mic quality as you can imagine.
Do you need Jabra’s own app to maximise the noise cancellation and other important features? Our employer restricts installing non-vetted apps. Only admin users can install apps in our windows laptops.
Hi Oliver, the app isn't required but is an option. You can always download on a personal computer to customize any settings or update in the future as a work around if ever needed.
So the best one that is still wired is Evolve 2 50? This is also the first one with ANC. I noticed they don't sell new version of Evolve 80 for example.
Hi, I own Jabra Evolve 2 65 but noise cancellation is not what we call as best. Will you suggest flex for office environment so that people sitting next to me there voice is not going along with my voice to speakers ?
I have a Jabra Elite 45H and its mic is so sensitive, even Teams' noise filtering won't help it. In calls people hear loud and clear others talking in the office 30-40 feet away from me whom I wouln't even notice during calls.
Yes that’s because the elite 45h doesn’t have a noise cancelling microphone boom the evolve2 55 or 65 flex would be much better. We also have a software option that will be coming out soon that will make that disappear.
Hello ! According to your advice, I found & bought the Orosound Tilde Pro. After comparizon, the Orosound seems to have a lower ANC than the Jabra Evolve2 85. Do you agree or think the same thing ?
Howdy! That doesn't sound accurate if everything is setup properly. 1. For the best mic performance connect with the USB Dongle, not Bluetooth to the computer or with the charge cord. 2. Download Orosound Link and check to see if there's firmware updates availabile. 3. If you're connecting with a Windows computer, go to Device manager > sound and video game controllers > if you have a setting call "intel smart sound usb audio" or "intel smart sound digital microphone" disable both of these and restart computer. 4. Bend the microphone boom to be as close to your face as possible without touching your face.
Evolve2 65 in the train cancels my voice along with the noise. Took me a while to figure it out seems road and train noise is unmanageable for it. Just tweeted Jabrasupport, I think goto plantronics they have more reliable headsets, this is the last jabra purchase for me
Looking for a headset that will work well on my phone for calls in the office and ideally good for listening to music as my air pods have packed in. 65 flex or 85?
Both will get the job done but the 85 is going to be better for music quality, whereas the 65 Flex will be more lighweight for longer use, has a better microphone, is lower profile and is decent for music too but not as good as the 85.
Thanks for the video. Can you recommend the best Bluetooth headset for a student to speak accurate voice to text (into an iPad) when in a noisy school classroom?
The Orosound Tilde Pro is the best we've tested for speaker and microphone noise cancellation but we haven't tested any headsets on an iPad with voice to text to share our findings.
What would you suggest if there was no evolve2 55? Because I want to buy used one from ebay. But they are expensive. Which model would you recommend? I need stereo, wireless, for phone and notebook compatible. I will use it for remote working online meetings. I need to cancel background voice of people at home
Hi what Headset would you recommend for a noisy office. currently have a JABRA ENGAGE 75 but when multiple people are on calls at the same time its hard to hear the person I am on the phone with.
The best comparable is the Yealink WH64 but if you only need to connect with computer and mobile phone then check out both models below. Tilde Evo: ua-cam.com/video/tHorOJ4mQyM/v-deo.htmlsi=yOCj9PKhPzqPPA4B Impact 1000: ua-cam.com/video/l1w9SFHDXJo/v-deo.htmlsi=4zpCxxJhwrcy8mGq
HI , which one have the best Noise cancellation mic Flex 65 or E2-75? I am having evolve2 75 and i was happy with it but suddenly noise cancelation not working now, so looking to buy a new one. Can you tell me which one have the best noise cancelation mic?
Go with UC in this case. The difference of dual vs single speaker is audio in one ear or both ears. If you’re in a louder work environment usually a dual speaker option is best.
If I would like to isolate myself from all the noises in my surroundings, which is the best one? Evolve2 65 Flex, or Evolve2 75 or Evolve2 85? People are suggesting to go for over the ear headphones which is 85 for better sound proofing myself. But I prefer on the ear compared to over the ear. Please suggest your opinion for my situation.
If you want to cancel the most noise for what you would hear going on around you, the Evolve2 85 will perform the best. We're talking speakers though, not microphone.
I have the 85, 65 mono and now 65 flex. The flex is by far my favourite as it’s the lightest, with great ANC and sound quality for their size and form factor. For the price 85 disappointed me for call quality (speakers are good but a cheaper pair of Bose QC35 Sound better if music matters more to you)
@@idrissawane2059 results vary by many different factors like what type of noises you’re around, what direction the noise is coming from and how loud those noises are. You could also consider adding neep.com noise canceling software.
I'm hoping you can recommend the best ANC headphones that are wired or USB wireless ...workplace will NOT allow Bluetooth devices. It is very important for me to block out the voices of my colleagues who are on MSTeams calls and for the headphones to have a working mic when I am using MSTeams for calls. I was going to go for Sony 1000WH5 or Bose 700 but discovered once I wire the devices (cant use Bluetooth) they have no working mic. So I'm back to square one. Do any of the Jabra ANC over the ear that are Bluetooth have microphones that will work if plugged inyo my pc? Really like the option of hardwiring into my work pc and bluetooth to my personal cellphone for music or talk radio while working. There must be solutions for those of us with employers that prohibit Bluetooth for security reasons.
It works pretty well for anc but you can check out this model that works very well for our customers headsetadvisor.com/products/orosound-tilde-pro-bluetooth-noisecancelling-headset?_pos=1&_psq=Tilde&_ss=e&_v=1.0
@@HeadsetAdvisor I considered Orosound, but they only attentuate the outside sounds instead of trying to cut them out entirely like the Jabra. Do you have tests of how the headphone wearer would perceive outside sounds, especially of other people around them talking? When I work, even with closed ear phones like the Sony XM1000XM3, I can easily other outside noises. Can't focus like that at all. Like your test here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsgDXaKzvfl2k but for the Jabra Evolve2 85. You can hear in your test that the Orosound lets in so much background noise even with ANC.
Yes. Performance wise they are likely similar however with the usb dongle you gain access to Jabra direct which will adjust all the settings of the headset and keep the headset firmware up to date. Plus it’s what gives compatibility for remote answering on all platforms like teams, ringcentral and more.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Got it - thank you. Seems like all that could be accomplished via Bluetooth profiles these days. I’m just always trying to make a port available for something! :D
It’s a hard question to answer as everyone’s experience is different. Chances are if the headband on the 65 was uncomfortable for you it’s highly possible the same would be the case for the 85.
@@HeadsetAdvisor oh wow thanks for the reply, didnt think this would get seen! That being said, do you have a recommended headset that is over the ear like 85 which also has the voice playback functionality and noise cancelling mic? Hearing myself clearly through the headset on the Jabra was a fantastic feature
I have had the Evolve 75, Evolve 2 85, and Evolve 2 75. The original Evolve 75 is the best. Better mic, noise caneclling, and it just works. Never have connection issues. Evolve 2 85 I really wanted to love because I am on meetings all day and my ears get tired, but this headset is a dud. Connection issues, gain issues, and not to mention whenever I rewatvh a recording, the mic quality is really poor. One feature that was superior on the Evolve 75 compared to gen 2s is the ability to hear yourself while you are talking. The new headsets have it but are far inferior compared to the previous version. My 85s are going in the bin since they won't connect to any device anymore and I might be trying the 55s or 65 flex after this video!
Flex 65 microphone sounds best by far! Surprised that the 85 sounds worse than the rest… :( Since I really want an over ear experience, that’s a total bummer. Plus: I would be really interested in Windnoise when wind hits the mic, since I use the headset outside!! Any hints?
Thanks for watching! If you have an iPhone or Android phone, there's a setting on the phone you can enable called voice isolation or noise suppression. This should further help improve the mic noise cancellation from outside noises like wind, cars etc.. if you have a phone with this setting then you could get the Evolve2 85 and get the over ear option with mic performance you want.
I bought a headphone from this brand, but it is used. Do you have a way through which I know if it is 65, 80 …. But the sound is very weak despite pressing the volume button
Send a photo to info@headsetadvisor.com and we could identify it for you. Volume shouldn’t be weak. You may need to make sure you have Jabra direct downloaded and the headset fully up to date with latest firmware then make sure your sound settings is set up on the volume
Thanks for watching! It will definitely help reduce the noise of dogs barking but many not block it out 100%. If further mic noise cancellation is needed, you could also consider getting neep.com
I still can’t figure out which is better, 55 or 75? I work in a noisy office, but this noise should not be heard by others. in the review 55 seems better. Please help?!!!
Does the 55 really not have hear through? Doesn't that make it feel like you are holding your hands over your ears whilst talking? Couldn't cope with that
@@HeadsetAdvisor thanks for the info. I am quite sensitive to the feeling of not being able to hear my voice when talking. Do you think the voyager focus or focus 2 UC would be a better choice than the 55 for me in that case given that it has open microphone path technology to allow me to hear my own voice naturally during calls? Or is it similar in the Jabra 55 and the mic quality much better in the Jabra 55 than the voyager focus 2?
@@stevea8099 The Focus 2 and all other comparibles will be similar, there's no hear through mode while you're on a phone cal,l but they have a feature built into the microphone called sidetone that allows you to hear your own voice to feel more natural.
Flex 65 seems to be the best noise canceling mic. Can you please do a comparison b/w 65 flex and Tde Pro? Not in to listening music. Only use it for work and I travel a lot. So need the best noise canceling mic which allows me to take calls while on road, in train or in busy and noisy environments, filters dog barking, road/street noise, vehicle horns and loud music or announcements for ex like that in a train station.
Returned it. Although it's the best form factor, it's microphone noise canceling wasn't on part w/ the rest of the competition. The new 55 series has better mic noise canceling.
What about doing a test for wind in the microphone? These all test well with noise but then get into the wind and the more mics the more the caller is NOT able to hear me…
@@NicholasWhiteleyI work in the wind all the time. Yes on the 5200 or the Focus 2 with a foam mic cover on the boom - looks silly but incredibly effective
Business grade headsets will have noise cancellation added to the microphone which will provide a slight decrease in having the most natural voice quality like our studio mic, for the benefit of reducing background noise that callers hear. In most cases, customers are fine with a slight decrease in voice quality for the gain of callers not hearing co-workers talking, dogs barking etc..

The truth is that Jabra's headsets are screwed up at the hardware level (the connection between the microphone and the integrated circuit board) and it's only a matter of time until it breaks. This is a category of product that should simply be avoided for your own peace of mind.
I have uset the Evolve 2 85 for more than two years and i can NOT recomment it. The Audis from the speakers are great bud the microphone is undervelming for the Price. And there are alot of isses at work with connection isses. Hope the release a new version with the audio quality of the 65 flex.
Good point headset noise cancellation on a headset can only do so well with limited processing power but these are among the best on the market. Lower cost options would be the Yealink UH37 or Discover D722u wired headsets that perform well for lower cost
Yes it does sound great and clear. Mic is good. However, avoid like the plague. Jabra headsets are not durable and are iconically fragile-edifier is way more durable. I have gone through 4 new Jabra headsets within the last 4 years. I bought more expensive ones at each turn thinking it was because I got the cheaper ones. All of them ended up with loose screws in the headset which eventually leads to a break no matter what you try to do to mitigate the damage. Designed to break.
We know there has been various firmware updates since the release of the Evolve2 75 so that could be the reason why. We simply connect the headset to a Windows computer, record through "Windows Sound Recorder" and post the results.
They evolve2 85 is aweful and all the reviews say so too. Extremely poor microphone. Very disappointing for a premium model. The 55 and 65 flex sound equally best, then 75 is a close second.

Am I the only one being absolutely impressed by the mic quality of the Evolve2 55 ? Great review guys!
Thanks George! The Evolve2 55 does perform very well.
Yess the 55 has better quality compared to others
Agreed
I also noticed the 2 65 and the 2 85 [the oldest headsets] don't employ a noise gate once you stop talking so you still hear the environment [muffled though] when you stop talking. I never liked noise gates because you almost have to say "hey" before you start actually talking else they may miss your initial word [like a person's name if your addressing them
You're spot on and we noticed the same thing about the noise gate feature being added in a number of new headsets. From what we're hearing as chipsets and Bluetooth continue to improve, so will the noise cancelling microphones while keeping very good clarity.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Yes, UNDERSTANDING arriving on the other end is the most important thing. I'm shopping because I literally have people "giving up" on meetings because the sound quality + different accents produces "I don't understand what they are saying" Noise gating is one of the WORST inhibitions of understanding. Of all of these, the 65 non-flex is the ONLY one that seems like it will handle the problem I'm trying to solve. The volume fluxuations on all of the others are completely intolerable for what I'm trying to solve.
@@joeMsessions consider adding neep.com for the best microphone noise cancellation whether you’re talking or not
Sorry, but the Jabra Evolve 2 75 has horrible noise cancellation I am not exactly sure how you got it to cancel anything. I was so disappointed with this headset. I tried upgrading the firmware and resetting it. I wish you would do the mic test without using team viewer or other software that has noise-canceling features so we know what to expect from just the headset. Now I'm just trying to resell my Jabra 2 75 so I can recoup the loss.
Sorry to hear your experience. Not sure how you mean by "team viewer or software that has noise-canceling features", but if you're implying we're using something to try and give inaccurate results, that's false.
We connect the headset to the ThinkPad laptop you see in the video and record through Windows Sound Recorder.
Have you checked your computer to see if you have a setting called "Intel smart sound"? This setting has caused a ton of audio issues for headsets and once disabled could help. ua-cam.com/video/O8BVp8eHF_k/v-deo.html
@@HeadsetAdvisor I'm implying that when I plug my Jabra Evolve 2 75 headset in I expect it to have similar results to what I hear in your videos but it fails hard. If it was a cheap headset I wouldn't care but when I hear it blocking out a blender in your videos and I can't even get it to block out the sound of my keyboard when I type that is a huge letdown. I can only assume the noise cancellation for the mic is on the software side ie Teamviewer with the noise cancellation feature turned on. I've tried all of your tutorials disconnected the dongle, updated the firmware, and disabled drivers. Nothing works. I've also seen from your past videos that other people had issues with the evolve 2 75 microphone as well. I just want a noise-canceling bt microphone that works out of the box without having to do any kind of dance. Can you recommend a headset for around $300 to $400 dollars that have a strong noise-cancellation microphone and is not a Jabra product? Sorry, I can't risk getting burned by another Jabra product again.
@@DigitalNomadInstitute we hear you. Maybe we can get on a video call and test a number of headsets for you to hear the differences. From our experience the results vary depending on the environment and headset you choose. We’ve found the Evolve2 75 seems to be the most debated mic performance we’ve seen. Some have your experience and others the total opposite 🤷♂️
What’s your thoughts on that idea?
@@DigitalNomadInstitute I have the same issue with mu Jabra Evolve 2 75. tried last 2 days to find solution with Jabra support, looks like it the headset has to be replaced under warranty...
Your results are sole reasons why I went with the Evolve2 65 Flex.
I just can't understand how the 75 and 85 sound so much worse with heavy background noise.
Glad the video helped you select the best for you :) thanks for watching
65 flex is good
Definitely
No, at all, all meeting attendees complain from my mic all the time!
@@ahmedibrahim1 is this problem continue? should i buy jabra evolve2 65 flex or other model you recommend?
@@ahmedibrahim1what kind of complain..?
A little torn between getting Jabra Evolve2 55 or 65 Flex. Folding design is cool but unimportant for me. Price difference is unimportant to me. I spend a long time on conference calls some days.
It seems like if I go 55 I get more comfort while if I go 65 Flex I get better battery life, better-sounding music. Are there other notable factors I'm missing?
If the folding design or microphone being able to stowed away to be used as personal headphones doesn't matter then go with the Evolve2 55.
65flex and 55... those two are very solid... 👍
Agreed thank you! They are good performers and super comfortable.
Great review! I’ve had both evolve 2 65 and later upgraded to evolve 2 75. Both great headsets but do prefer 75 as it has ANC.
Thanks for sharing!
Is there any adapter to connect you softphone to a regular wireless phone , the classic Panasonic RJ11 jack?

@@HeadsetAdvisorwhat about the Jabra Engage for desk phone with the charging base?
@@greg6162 The Engage 65 or 75 is good for desk phones as well. We just created a video on this here ua-cam.com/video/uJclAcKbOps/v-deo.htmlsi=HiU3Uv8ArHmlh12i
I’m trying to decide between the Evolve 2 50 and 55. My one concern is the wire durability over time on the Evolve 2 50 (I’m assuming we can’t replace this wire on our own) - would I be stuck in a situation where the wire needs to be twisted, adjusted in a certain manner to ensure I can hear the person on the other end of the call. The other concern on the Evolve 2 55 is whether I would encounter any lag while using the dongle provided. Would really appreciate if you could help provide your opinion :)
With any wired headset that's the risk but you are covered under warranty for atleast 2 years. From our testing the Evolve2 55 can have a have a 1-2 second delay when it's first establishing connection to the Dongle but overall it's seamless. Feel free to contact us if you want to narrow down the best way to go for your specific needs headsetadvisor.com/pages/contact-us
@@HeadsetAdvisorThanks to your review, I’ve decided to go ahead with buying the Evolve 2 50. I’ve been using them for about 3 months, and the experience has been great. Most importantly, they’re comfortable and others can’t hear the office noise around me!
Excellent video! Thank you for going into so much detail, especially with the noise cancelling features.
You're welcome and thank you for your feedback.
I've had 2 sets of evolve 2 85 and a set of evolve 65. When they work they're great but they're so glitchy. If you're locked in, they're great. But if you pop in to ms teams, open a browser, mess about with excel, the 85 just does what it wants and the other end gets an ear full of the office cause it's not using the boom mic, it's switched to headphone mic. I tried to stick with the evolve2 85 hence the 2nd set but i'm moving on from Jabra as soon as i find an alternative.
Sorry to hear that. Give the Orosound Tilde Pro a look
I've upgraded my old Jabra evolve 65. They were super comfy and had a great performance. I bought newest model Jabra Evolve 2 65 , but I have a really problem as they are so uncomfortable. Does anybody has the same issue ? What model would you recommend for great performance and comfortable use? Thank you!!!!
Does the speakers just feel tight on your ears? You can bend the middle of the head to make the speakers further apart to reduce clamping force which can certainly help make the model you have more comfortable. From the Jabra line I find the evolve2 55 and 65 flex to be the most comfortable from the lineup
I liked the 55 and 65 flex the best. In the office I'd use the 55. If im traveling 65 flex.
Thanks for the review!
I've noticed even the most expensive wireless offering doesn't have mic sound as clear as inexpensive wired mics have. Are there any alternatives, with a custom wireless channel maybe?
You're welcome and thanks for watching! The reason the microphone performance is different is because business headsets add microphone noise cancellation. With this comes a slight sacrifice of best pure voice quality for gain of background noise being reduced to be heard clearly, which is a must for most people working from home, on the go or in the office.
There's no business headsets we're aware of with the ability to turn this feature on or off.
Thank you for the review. I hope Jabra will implement setting for noice gate level on 65 flex.
You're welcome and thanks for watching, Igor!

What's the different in the Evolve2 30 and the Evolve 30 II?
Are the dongles plug & play on PC ? ..... work admin does not allow for installation of drivers etc
Tell work admin to contact us info@headsetadvisor.com this makes no sense to maximize the headsets! They are plug and play but you’ll lose some functionality like updating firmware, settings, and possibly answering/ending phone calls wirelessly. You can shop our best sellers here headsetadvisor.com/collections/best-selling-headsets-for-work
plug n play but if admin has restrictions and for device to have updated firmware, you can update via jabra direct SW installed to your personal pc or laptop.
you can also update SW and headset settings via android/ios app of jabra

Great video thank you. Does the once with ANC has an low static sound in the background when it's just connected without music and such ? The once in ears has and that gives me a headache so I am curios to know if these over head/on ear has that as well ?
Not that we noticed
do any of these headsets keep their STEREO profile when in a call?
afaik, the Evolve2 65 goes to MONO when in calls
I kinda want to use them for music, work (calls) and gaming.. the latter having to need stereo
Unfortunately not. Any that we’ve tested go into mono mode when the mic is active. You could consider getting any headset of your choice then add a Modmic which will accomplish the goal you’re looking for. ua-cam.com/video/Tut1KDa_S3M/v-deo.htmlsi=TigTpxLV1kAiVVs7

So after watching 10 videos on this channel i am zeroing in on Evlove65 flex finally now where to get it? Who delivers these to Pakistan 🤔
Just got the Evolve2 55 Teams edition.. Do I need to setup any computer settings or anything to get the best performance?
It should be plug and play but you just want to ensure your audio settings are set to the microphone and speakers of the headset. Sometimes customers are hearing through the headset but the mic is actually defaulted to the computer microphone, which doesn't give great mic quality as you can imagine.
Do you need Jabra’s own app to maximise the noise cancellation and other important features? Our employer restricts installing non-vetted apps. Only admin users can install apps in our windows laptops.
Hi Oliver, the app isn't required but is an option. You can always download on a personal computer to customize any settings or update in the future as a work around if ever needed.
If you pair the wireless ones to your phone you can use the sound+ app to customize the headsets and update firmware
Perfect video, thank you! Going for the 55 after watching this
So the best one that is still wired is Evolve 2 50? This is also the first one with ANC.
I noticed they don't sell new version of Evolve 80 for example.
The Evolve2 50 is definitely one of the best for wired
Hi,
I own Jabra Evolve 2 65 but noise cancellation is not what we call as best.
Will you suggest flex for office environment so that people sitting next to me there voice is not going along with my voice to speakers ?
The Flex would work well in an office environment and should be better then the Evolve2 65
The active noise cancelling test is perfect
Thank you!
hello excellent video. I would like to know which headphones you would buy between JBL Quantum100 vs Logitech H390 to do live on social networks
We haven't tested the JBL headphones so we wouldn't be best to tell you the pros and cons of either.
I have a Jabra Elite 45H and its mic is so sensitive, even Teams' noise filtering won't help it. In calls people hear loud and clear others talking in the office 30-40 feet away from me whom I wouln't even notice during calls.
Yes that’s because the elite 45h doesn’t have a noise cancelling microphone boom the evolve2 55 or 65 flex would be much better. We also have a software option that will be coming out soon that will make that disappear.
Hello ! According to your advice, I found & bought the Orosound Tilde Pro. After comparizon, the Orosound seems to have a lower ANC than the Jabra Evolve2 85. Do you agree or think the same thing ?
Howdy! That doesn't sound accurate if everything is setup properly.
1. For the best mic performance connect with the USB Dongle, not Bluetooth to the computer or with the charge cord.
2. Download Orosound Link and check to see if there's firmware updates availabile.
3. If you're connecting with a Windows computer, go to Device manager > sound and video game controllers > if you have a setting call "intel smart sound usb audio" or "intel smart sound digital microphone" disable both of these and restart computer.
4. Bend the microphone boom to be as close to your face as possible without touching your face.
@@HeadsetAdvisor very well, thanks !
Evolve2 65 in the train cancels my voice along with the noise. Took me a while to figure it out seems road and train noise is unmanageable for it. Just tweeted Jabrasupport, I think goto plantronics they have more reliable headsets, this is the last jabra purchase for me
Do you have the regular evolve2 65 or the flex? I’d give Jabra evolve2 55 or 65 flex a try pretty much the best mic according to our blind mic tests
Looking for a headset that will work well on my phone for calls in the office and ideally good for listening to music as my air pods have packed in.
65 flex or 85?
Both will get the job done but the 85 is going to be better for music quality, whereas the 65 Flex will be more lighweight for longer use, has a better microphone, is lower profile and is decent for music too but not as good as the 85.
How is the 65 Flex sounds the best?!
The Evolve2 65 Flex sounded best to me overall. Totally blocked out all the background noise
Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts 🙂
Thanks for the video. Can you recommend the best Bluetooth headset for a student to speak accurate voice to text (into an iPad) when in a noisy school classroom?
The Orosound Tilde Pro is the best we've tested for speaker and microphone noise cancellation but we haven't tested any headsets on an iPad with voice to text to share our findings.
What is the difference between uc and teams? Which is better? At work we use teams. USB A vs USB C ? Please advise.
I’d go with teams and if your computer has usb-c port I’d use the usb-c version since that is future proof
What would you suggest if there was no evolve2 55?
Because I want to buy used one from ebay. But they are expensive.
Which model would you recommend? I need stereo, wireless, for phone and notebook compatible. I will use it for remote working online meetings. I need to cancel background voice of people at home
Either model in this video would work. Evolve2 65 would probably be closest.

Hm not sure which headsets you’re referring to?
The Jabra Evolve 2 duo version has the boom mic on right side or left side?
Right
I'm hoping you can recommend the best ANC headphones that are wired or USB wireless ...workplace will NOT allow Bluetooth devices. It is very important for me to block out the voices of my colleagues who are on MSTeams calls and for the headphones to have a working mic when I am using MSTeams for calls. I was going to go for Sony 1000WH5 or Bose 700 but discovered once I wire the devices (cant use Bluetooth) they have no working mic. So I'm back to square one. Do any of the Jabra ANC over the ear that are Bluetooth have microphones that will work if plugged inyo my pc? Really like the option of hardwiring into my work pc and bluetooth to my personal cellphone for music or talk radio while working. There must be solutions for those of us with employers that prohibit Bluetooth for security reasons.
Yes the Jabra evolve2 85 can be used as a wired headset with the usb cable then Bluetooth to your mobile phone probably the best bet for you.
How well does the Evolve2 85 cancel background noise and other people talking for the headphone wearer (not the boom mic noise cancellation effect)?
It works pretty well for anc but you can check out this model that works very well for our customers headsetadvisor.com/products/orosound-tilde-pro-bluetooth-noisecancelling-headset?_pos=1&_psq=Tilde&_ss=e&_v=1.0

Like your test here: ua-cam.com/users/shortsgDXaKzvfl2k but for the Jabra Evolve2 85. You can hear in your test that the Orosound lets in so much background noise even with ANC.
Can you do a review of Jabra Evolve 65 TE??
Yes we will do soon. Lots of products in the hopper right now.
Is there an advantage of using the USB dongle vs. just pairing to your laptop's bluetooth?
Yes. Performance wise they are likely similar however with the usb dongle you gain access to Jabra direct which will adjust all the settings of the headset and keep the headset firmware up to date. Plus it’s what gives compatibility for remote answering on all platforms like teams, ringcentral and more.

I have had the Evolve 75, Evolve 2 85, and Evolve 2 75. The original Evolve 75 is the best. Better mic, noise caneclling, and it just works. Never have connection issues. Evolve 2 85 I really wanted to love because I am on meetings all day and my ears get tired, but this headset is a dud. Connection issues, gain issues, and not to mention whenever I rewatvh a recording, the mic quality is really poor. One feature that was superior on the Evolve 75 compared to gen 2s is the ability to hear yourself while you are talking. The new headsets have it but are far inferior compared to the previous version. My 85s are going in the bin since they won't connect to any device anymore and I might be trying the 55s or 65 flex after this video!

Since I really want an over ear experience, that’s a total bummer.
Plus: I would be really interested in Windnoise when wind hits the mic, since I use the headset outside!! Any hints?
Thanks for watching! If you have an iPhone or Android phone, there's a setting on the phone you can enable called voice isolation or noise suppression. This should further help improve the mic noise cancellation from outside noises like wind, cars etc.. if you have a phone with this setting then you could get the Evolve2 85 and get the over ear option with mic performance you want.
Wish the 75 model was over the ears🤙🏼

Flex 65 seems to be the best noise canceling mic. Can you please do a comparison b/w 65 flex and Tde Pro?
Not in to listening music. Only use it for work and I travel a lot. So need the best noise canceling mic which allows me to take calls while on road, in train or in busy and noisy environments, filters dog barking, road/street noise, vehicle horns and loud music or announcements for ex like that in a train station.
I have the same reason with you, tell me when you bought or figured out the right model buddy
Returned it. Although it's the best form factor, it's microphone noise canceling wasn't on part w/ the rest of the competition. The new 55 series has better mic noise canceling.
What about doing a test for wind in the microphone? These all test well with noise but then get into the wind and the more mics the more the caller is NOT able to hear me…

Very Great Comparison. Thanks a lot 🎉🎉🎉
Can someone tell me why non of them can sound as good as the studio mic?
Business grade headsets will have noise cancellation added to the microphone which will provide a slight decrease in having the most natural voice quality like our studio mic, for the benefit of reducing background noise that callers hear. In most cases, customers are fine with a slight decrease in voice quality for the gain of callers not hearing co-workers talking, dogs barking etc..
I am looking for a wireless stereo headset for busy and loud technical support area. With noise cancelling, good audio and mic. Please advise.
I prefer the Evolve2 65 flex for good music, ANC, but the evolve2 55 also has a great mic those would be my preferred options.

The truth is that Jabra's headsets are screwed up at the hardware level (the connection between the microphone and the integrated circuit board) and it's only a matter of time until it breaks. This is a category of product that should simply be avoided for your own peace of mind.
I have uset the Evolve 2 85 for more than two years and i can NOT recomment it. The Audis from the speakers are great bud the microphone is undervelming for the Price. And there are alot of isses at work with connection isses. Hope the release a new version with the audio quality of the 65 flex.

Jabra evolve 2 55 sounded the best, especially with dogs barking

I will be honest: Most of those headsets cost way too much for such poor level of microphone noise cancelling.
Good point headset noise cancellation on a headset can only do so well with limited processing power but these are among the best on the market. Lower cost options would be the Yealink UH37 or Discover D722u wired headsets that perform well for lower cost
It's almost criminal the 85 don't perform that well.
We hear you. Even though they have a bigger number, they are the oldest of them all 😄

Yes it does sound great and clear. Mic is good. However, avoid like the plague. Jabra headsets are not durable and are iconically fragile-edifier is way more durable. I have
gone through 4 new Jabra headsets within the last 4 years. I bought more expensive ones at each turn thinking it was because I got the cheaper ones. All of them ended up with loose screws in the headset which eventually leads to a break no matter what you try to do to mitigate the damage. Designed to break.

65 flex seemed to be the best
Thanks for sharing, Matt!
The Elvove 2 65 flex is the best to me
Agreed we really enjoy the Evolve2 65 Flex
Something does not make sense. Specially after seeing all of your videos. The 75s in another video's isolated the blender completely. Here not.
We know there has been various firmware updates since the release of the Evolve2 75 so that could be the reason why. We simply connect the headset to a Windows computer, record through "Windows Sound Recorder" and post the results.
They evolve2 85 is aweful and all the reviews say so too. Extremely poor microphone. Very disappointing for a premium model. The 55 and 65 flex sound equally best, then 75 is a close second.
The flex was the winner!
Thanks for your vote :)
65 flex is the best!
Thanks for watching :)
