About this deal

UC-certified means UC-satisfied Satisfaction guaranteed isn't something you hear very often these days, but we're bringing it back; Evolve2 85 works with all leading Unified Communications (UC) platforms, for truly seamless collaboration. They’re easy enough to pull off and replace- relying on plastic clips rather than any clever magnetic arrangement- and I found mine easiest to pull off with two fingers hooked around the top of the ear cup and a good, slightly nerve-wrackingly firm pull. Get up to 37 hours of battery on a single charge, with a headset that’s designed to help you power through the week. We have tested these headphones' compatibility on Xbox One and Xbox Series X consoles using this connection and updated our text.

The Jabra Evolve2 85 USB-A MS Teams Stereo Headset is a wireless stereo headset that offers USB-A and Bluetooth connectivity. They are future-proof and compatible with all softphone and web clients, from Microsoft Teams to Mitel. Any sudden shakes of the head may cause them to slip off your ears, but they should stay on with gentler movements.The Sony block out more ambient noise, feel better-built, and offer a more consistent listening experience as well as a broader range of configuration options in their companion app. While it shouldn't be too bothersome if you're using them at your desk, you may notice a difference in temperature if you're wearing them while running or working out.

They feature generous amounts of soft padding on the ear cups and headband, so their weight is evenly distributed across your entire head. Having been perched in kitchens for months upon months this has been a godsend to preserving my zen. The Evolve2 85 held up excellently in all cases, although Linux’s audio subsystem can lead to some irritating quirks and – as you might guess – Jabra’s desktop software (which is actually… not bad and has changed since my review of the 65) is *not* available on Linux. But this wishlist aside… Jabra really knock it out of the park for their specific niche, and the Evolve2 65 – which I’ve loaned to a family member for Zoom-based interviews/meetings – are still still killing it, too.There are strengths and weaknesses to both, however, and I like having one pair of headphones shared between my phone and whatever PC I have plugged the dongle into. The Jabra have more intuitive controls, a longer continuous battery life, and are easier to carry around. It is also good at honing in on your voice in the midst of ambient noise, so even if you’re speaking in a busy office your colleagues should be able to hear you. Another minor frustration I discovered between my Linux laptop and iPhone was the tendency for *something* on Linux (I haven’t identified what, but I’m looking at you Pulseaudio) to grab the audio output device and relentlessly monopolize it, to the point where I can move upstairs with the headphones and not get any audio out of my phone at all.

We used our state-of-the-art sound lab to simulate a noisy office environment, with an office speech soundtrack played back through a speaker in a dummy head. When the Evolve2 85’s boom arm is pulled down, it meets premium microphone for open office standards. Using biometric measurements of hundreds of heads, we've created the perfect ergonomic design, featuring a unique headband shape that optimizes weight distribution for every head shape.Their microphone also swivels into a groove on the right ear cup, which reduces the chances of having it snag on something if you toss them into your bag. The 85 are clearly designed for both business and casual wear serving your daily videoconferencing needs along with your insatiable desire to walk while listening to obnoxiously loud music (wait, that’s not just me is it? The Jabra Evolve2 85 Link380c MS Stereo is a professional wireless headset engineered to keep you focused.
