Evolve 75 UC Wireless Stereo On-Ear Headset – Unified Communications Optimised Headphones With Long-Lasting Battery – USB Bluetooth Adapter – Black

I bought these as a treat for myself as I was working quite a lot from home at the time and using ear buds for conference calls, but after a few hours they got quite uncomfortable. I was also starting to do more video conferencing and was looking for a headset that could do both. The 75 does both really well, with dual Bluetooth allowing simultaneous pairing with my phone and my laptop using the included dongle. Things that I really like about the headset are as follows: * audio quality in terms of listening and speaking is excellent. I’ve had compliments a number of times about how clear the quality of my audio is on conference calls * the boom will auto mute your mic when in the up position. I’ve found that to be incredibly useful and it’s a simple thing to pop down the mic and speak * the quality of the noise cancelling is really great. I can tell the difference instantly when I turn it on, which helps to reduce local distractions, but often people cannot tell I’m in a noisy location. Recent conference call from a train and no one knew I was travelling * the carry case is robust and it lets me take them on the road with me and never worry about damaging the headset * battery life is awesome, with a full day of calls easily handled on a single charge I opted to buy the charging dock which sits on my desk at home, and the headset just sits there until needed. Tidy but also keeps the charge topped up. If I had a quibble, I’ve had the cushioning on one of the earphones come off a couple of times, but it was straightforward to restore. I also would like more local noise cancelling to provide better isolation, especially on a busy office. Music played from my phone sounds excellent and if I’m looking for a quick distraction, then there’s nothing better. I’ve had the headset for a year now and I absolutely love it, and would have no hesitation in recommending it if you’re looking for a good quality stereo headset fore more than just simple audio.

The Jabra Evolve 75 with the charging stand is by far the most comfortable and straightforward head set I have ever used. Looks very stylish too (if headsets can ever look stylish!) Sits well alongside my OC and is very minimalist in design. Long battery life 2 full days of c16 hour title use without need for additional charge) and excellent sound clarity. I love the way the mic just goes up out of the way very smoothly to mute. For the chap who wrote that there was no USB dongle - it is stored in the headset case and is the grey plastic bit you pull out from the headphone storage side where it is stuck in. Excellent quality build and so lightweight. Wore these for over four hours of back to back video and teleconference meetings and it was great that I could wander around and do other things whilst listening in but muting myself (I even made and ate lunch during the meeting as it went on for so long yet nobody knew!). I also have my iPhone Bluetooth connected to it. Seriously well worth the money for the comfort, sound and quality. Think about £’s per hour of use and it works out good value.

Build quality is very good with high quality materials used for the construction. Audio quality for web conferencing is excellent, and audio quality when playing music is very good. Battery seems to last for ages. The ANC (Active Noise Cancellation) removes low frequency sound very well, but doesn't do much for mid and high frequencies, so it removes general office noise pretty well but some voices still come through clearly albeit at a lower volume. The wireless connection is excellent, no crackles or dropouts at all. Controls are easy to use, and the operation of the headset can be customised via the Windows or Mac apps. Overall though, this is a good headset/headphones that I enjoy using for listening to music and for using as a communications headset in the office.

Everything about these headphones is great. I was using on Windows 10 Pro machine, but swapped to a MacBook Pro, still using dongle so had to get a USB-C adapter. Works a treat with both machines. I am wearing for around 7hrs a day and if not in Slack, Skype or soft phone then music is streaming away. The headset is light, fits my somewhat big head no problem and controls are simple - especially mute which just requires pushing the mic up. I had an issue when I switched to the Macbook and I cannot point finger at anything specific - it may have happened if I had still been using Windows. The headphones bricked - 100% dead. I contacted Jabra support, start of lockdown this was, and underwent a series of checks with them. During this I was asked to attempt some procedures using the Windows software - not sure why that was, but obliged. Nothing, no life at all. A returns label was sent to me and replacement headset arrived days later. Great customer service considering the circumstances. The new headset has been faultless. Even with the hiccup at the start I am so pleased I bought these and would unreservedly recommend. [Update, 5 years later] These headphones have been in daily use since I bought them. I work fully remote, they are on my head from the moment I sit at my PC. They still retain their charge all day, no issues what so ever - one of the best bits of kit I have purchased. PC's and laptops have come and gone, these are still going strong. My only complaint is the dated Bluetooth connector, I have to be in same room for it to keep a stable connection and these days even my £20 cheapo headset I use when walking the dog have a 50m range. I am not going to swap for work though and if they keep going I will probably be posting another update in 5yrs time! [> 5yrs later] Microphone died on the headset today and the headset is being retired. Were worth every penny!

I've been working remotely for over 5 years now. I spend a lot of my day on video calls and conference calls. These are the best headphones I've found to date. I used to favour in-ear buds, but after 6 hours, they get painful. I've tried all brands including very expensive ones. I fine over ear cans are great, good sound quality and noise cancelling (Sony WH-1000MX2), but , and its a big but - I found my ears got to hot, and the skin behind my ears split. I wear the Jabras all day long. If I'm not on a call I listen to spotify. To be honest I do take them off from time to time! .. I really like the fact that they pair with two devices simultaneously, )phone and laptop in my case.) I like the fact that muting is achieved by simply rotating the mic upwards. When you swtich these on, the headphones tell you how much battery is left. I didn't have a stand before, but would recooend you get one. My previous pair lasted three years with pretty much full usage, so I consider them to be value for money. I have recommended these to a lot of my colleagues. Any one who has bought them has been thankful for the recommendation.

Had to work from home and our work headsets are designed for desk phones so needed one that works with a softphone and also Lync. These arrived in good time and came with a carry case, dongle and charging cable (which can double up as a wired connection if required). Also went for the charging stand too. Instructions are 2 small pages, but thats all you need. Like the way you can listen to music on your phone (once paired) then if a call comes in it cuts music out and allows you to enter the call. Great sound quality for calls and music. I have a big head so wearing it with glasses on can be uncomfortable longer term but for most people this won't be an issue. Love the way you can mute the call by putting boom mic up, also can control spotify using the buttons. Easy to get to grips with and whilst not cheap will pay for itself over time.

Was nearly put off by the price... but i have specific hearing needs and need good quality headset... and at last have found what i have been searching for. Pros: Extremely well made Easy to pair to standard bluetooth device ... have paired to phone, laptop and a MP3 If needed (for say an old desk top PC), comes with a bluetooth dongle (small in size - like a wireless mouse nano tx/rx'er) Comes with a well made (orange) USB cable. Can be used as a USB connected headset to laptop/desktop or desk-phone that supports USB headset...obviously charges will USB connected. Considering this head set is on the ear (as opposed to over the ear) - the Noise Cancellation is excellent (activated/deactivated via button). Pairs easily to dual devices - have used with MP3 player and Phone paired simultaneously without any issues. Phone cuts it when call active and drops back to MP3 when call dropped. Mute function via button and also if boom-mic is placed upwards. Easy to use buttons - volume +/-, mute, answer/end call, Noise Cancellation, listen-in (cuts out device audio so can hear surrounding sounds). When boom-mic is fully up, the tip can magnetically clip to the head strap - stops the boom-mic looking like an aerial :-) Battery life is excellent (have managed 15hrs so far - combined standby/music/calls) - gives an approximate battery length left when powered on (via voice through headphones) Cons: Expensive When working with a MP3 player, no button for pause or next/previous Could do with a bit more volume (but that is only if you are hard of hearing) - no issues if hearing is 'normal' Would recommend

Great noise-cancelling and good audio quality. Fairly comfortable but a bit heavy. The microphone is good too. Very fiddly to get onto the charging mount, basically just a Micro-USB plug sticking up that you have to try and wiggle the headset onto. Pretty rubbish and cheap and disappointing for two hundred quid. The battery failed after 18 months and despite declaring a two-year warranty the company told me the warranty was expired. FORTUNATELY WONDERFUL AMAZON came to the rescue!
