JabraEvolve2 85 Wireless PC Headset with Charging Stand – Noise Cancelling Microsoft Teams Certified Stereo Headphones With Long-Lasting Battery – USB-A Bluetooth Adapter – BlackTCO CertifiedTCO CertifiedTCO CertifiedTCO Certified

This is the absolute go-to headset for video or phone calls, home office or office work. That's what it was made for and what it is perfect at.Amazing noise filter: this headset filters ambient noise extremely well. Let me give you an example: anyone who ever handled plastic bags during a phone call, e.g. eat some crisps, knows this makes a terrible noise on the other side of your phone call. Well, these headphones filter crisps out for anyone on the other side, completely. Children or pets in the background? Gets filtered out. Big noisy office? Filtered!Besides that, I can now switch between my phone and my computer seamlessly. Whenever I get a phone call, I just use my headset. Afterwards logging into a zoom call? No problem. And all of that without endless reconnecting and disconnecting. It just works. Also, I don't need a Bluetooth connection to my computer. Plugging in the usb receiver and switching on the headset is all that's needed for a 100% reliable connection.I'm not sure how long the battery lasts. Why not? Because battery life is just not an issue. I probably charge the headset every 3-4 days, with on average of 4-8h of video conferences and phone calls on each day. The wonderful world of home office.Just a bit of reference. Before I found the Jabra, I tried:Sony WH1000-XM4Sennheiser Momentum 3Sennheiser Momentum 2Bose QM35IIApple Airpods ProAnd a few smaller brands like Arctis steel series.All excellent headphones or headset. Some had way better sound. My use case is different though. I'm not looking for the best sound or the best noise cancelling. Instead I need a headset for home office and phone calls. And none of the other headphones I tested came anywhere close to the Jabra evolve 2 in this category.

Final conclusion: they won't work further then about 20 ft. They start becoming distorted. However, when you are close to the USB dongle they do a very good job. Mic works well, allow me to be free from wires. Look great. Work straight out of the box and they have a stand.Short story : item came quick (Next day before 13:00, market pricing, Well packed, the speaker cushion was slightly squashed, The bluetooth dongle connected straight away, however issues with were present with my dock, which meant I have had to connect it via bluetooth to my laptop as well as the dongle and now no connection issues.Would I buy these again : 10/10 - they seem to be the best in the market, Sounds good, works well, comfortable even though they are expensive. However they can be flakey and disconnect randomly when you come away from the dongle/bluetooth. People have mentioned the mic is not great but those issues have got better.Quality : 7/10 - top quality, great design, buttons are well placed, headphones look and feel great, sound is amazing. loss of mark for microphone - some people tell me I sound distant when using it. But they seemed to have got better.Packaging and delivery : 9/10 - as missing instructions. Item came quickly. Well packaged. Had the dock, charger wire, headphone wire, USB-C to USB- A connector. Instructions have to be downloaded from the web. The charger wire is not to long either.Installation : 8/10 - Took me a while as I had a complicated set up. However if you have a simple installation just connect the dongle to the laptop/Computer and turn on headphones and your up and running. You can download the Jabra software, which allows you to see the status of the headphones and update the the headphones and dongles firmware. For me - because of my complicated set up - i had to connect it to the dongle and bluetooth on my laptop - otherwise the dongle loses its connection when I leave my desk further then 10 feet.Conclusion : 8/10 - nice quality, sounds good but has its issues. For this price the microphone should be crystal clear and the device should have no bugs (Issues with connectivity to my Dell D6000 Dock). However they look and feel classy and I just couldn't bring myself to finding any other pair. They are the best out there in terms of wireless headphones.Initial issue :I had issues with the bluetooth dongle. First the bluetooth would disconnect even when i moved just 5 feet away from the bluetooth dongle. Then I download jabra Direct - did all the updates and the dongle stopped working on the laptop. I asked amazon for assistance. After an hour of them trying to help me product support (Which initially i thought was great) I was told to take it to a local dongle store to fix. After I rejected this - they asked me for my number so I can speak with Jabra. I said I have already wasted half a day on this. I am not willing to do this. At which point I was told the product return process would have to go through Jabra (Even though I brought them of amazon). What a joke?*** I Managed to find a work around were I have connected my headphones to my laptop and the bluetooth dongle meaning their is double connection to my laptop and so will not disconnect.*****

Lost my Evolve2 75, which I was impressed with, so upgraded to the 85. I needed a headset for work, gaming, noise cancellation in-flight, and night movies. The 85 is really robust for all these. Clear calls on Both sides and the noise cancellation is very good. For music listening it is okay for the average user and better than AirPods.

Got this as a gift for the husband. We both work in the same home office and on the phone all day. With this set he is able to concentrate and those on the other end of the Zoom calls do not hear any background noise. I also have a pair but in the cream and gold and LOVE them.

These are my work headphones, and I'm very happy with them. I am a glasses wearer, and have used these quite a bit now for Teams calls, recording voiceovers etc. Both the ear-cups and the head band aren't quite as nice to wear as my CoolerMasters gaming headphones I use at home... but they're certainly not uncomfortable and the noise-cancelling is quite good. Mic is clear. I'm no audiophile, but the sound quality seems good enough for me for office headphones - I listen to music for much of the day and it's perfectly pleasant.

I bought for a friend, he can’t stop thanking me

Love this headset at first, its very comfortable and the noise cancelling is amazing, it dosent feel heavy and often forget its on my head.Things i found that was not good was the mic, its sounds terrible, i tried it on skype, discord and on both the sound of the mic was not good, i never had a headset with such a bad mic, my old £15 xbox headeset has a better mic. Also the charging stand/dock isnt the best either, it charges fine and its heavy enough to not move but to place the headset to charge its a little bit of a pain, it needs to sit perfectly, at first i would place it down on the dock and come back to find it not charging, normally other headsets i used the charging dock would be shaped to fit the headset into place to charge.
