Jabra promises battery totals up to a whopping 37 hours of use—easily 10 more hours of music listening than competitors in the space.

Most of my clients also call my cellphone, rather than my desk phone and as we continue remote work we may move the company to call service through the Microsoft Teams solution. Right now, I pair my Surface Pro 6 with Jabra Direct and my primary cellphone with Sound Plus to the Evolve2 85. Whether calls come through Teams or my cellphone, one headset is there and ready to help me respond. Later the day in a 1hr meeting, it was even worse than yesterday. I had to change the headset during the meeting, because of disturbing noises, robot voice and some voice interruptions/dropouts. While most premium headphones in the price point do feel sleek and premium, there’s something about the look of the Evole2 85 that just fits better into a professional environment. 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. There are tiny details that set these devices apart in this section. The Jabra Evolve2 75 has a charging time of 2.3 hours with up to 24 hours of talk time with ANC and busy light off, but 18 hours with both features on. However, its music time is up to 36 hours with ANC off and 33 hours with ANC on.Jabra offers two versions of the Evolve2 85 headphones; one for Unified Communications (UC) and the other focused on Microsoft Teams. Since I spend all day interacting with various coworkers, clients, and others on Microsoft Teams I tested out the model optimized for Microsoft Teams. I've been using the headset for the past three weeks and it has bumped the Plantronics model I was using for my remote work setup. Microphone noise canceling -> There was so much noise while I was calling (2 kids playing loud in the room next to me and nothing was transferred into my calls. Awesome job! 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. Jabra Evolve2 85 comes in two variants, Unified Communications and Microsoft Teams Certified. There is only one version of Jabra Evolve2 75. However, when Jabra introduced the Evolve2 85 as a successor to the Evolve2 75, many who knew the 75’s capabilities were excited to see how Jabra would manage to upgrade an already incredible headset. But, only Jabra can outdo themselves!

For me it's not worth the 320€ and certainly not the 540€ suggested retail price. I would keep and like it if the microphone quality and the boom arm would be way way better, but this is a no-go for a premium business headset in this price range. The problem with the bluetooth protocol ... meh, you didn't made your homework Jabra.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.
