Communicate without distraction with the Evolve2 40 Mono Wired On-Ear Headset from Jabra. In modern-day offices with open floor plans and busy work environments, noise and concentration are valuable commodities. Jabra crafted the Evolve2 40 headset to block out noise with an isolating oval memory foam ear cushion and an angled earcup design to maximize passive noise isolation. To keep people at bay, the integrated red busylight can be seen from any direction, and is automatically activated when on a call or in a meeting. It can also be manually activated when needed via earcup controls.
Three strategically placed microphones and an integrated digital chipset for signal processing work together to help ensure that your voice and call quality sound professional during important calls. This specific headset is Teams-certified and optimized for use with the Microsoft Teams platform, providing you with a dedicated Teams button and LED for notifications. When not working, the 40mm driver delivers high-quality, leak-resistant audio playback for your favorite music or podcasts.

I bought this for zoom calls that will be recorded and we need to sound semi okay on the recording. It seems to work okay for that (we are not talking audiophile recordings here.) I’d purchased a cheaper headset and it was SO uncomfortable, I stepped it up and got this one. It’s an improvement, but I still wish it was cushier on my ears. It was worth it to download Jabra Direct to control some of the features. Like the annoying busy lights. I work at home and so I don’t have any coworkers to disturb me on calls and the red busylights look like alien eyes on the side of my head. So I was glad to turn it off. I like how the headset mutes when I flip the boom mic up.

What I really like is the side tone feature and ability to turn off voice that says mic on mic off. I can finally use both earcups to hear me like the old days of plain old telephone service.

Purchased to replace an old headset. Sound, functionality, comfort is all acceptable but not as good as I’d hoped. They could use more padding.

the headphone with mic with controls on the ear works great. I looked at others that had the controls on the desk and did not want this style. the style is exactly what I needed.

The first day I wore this headset for work, my head hurt by the end of the day. It’s heavier than other headsets I’ve used. It was also tight (and I don’t think I have a big head). But I stretched it overnight. By that I mean I placed the headset over the packaging box almost like it was on someone’s really big head for 16 straight hours. The next morning I pulled stretched it by hand – very wide. And yes, I was nervous the whole unit would snap. It didn’t and after some more manual stretching and another overnight box stretch it was looser and didn’t feel so tight. As far as the features are concerned, it works great. I like that the boom mic mutes and unmutes when raised and lowered on my Teams calls. The red light indicating that I’m on a call is a nice feature. Would I purchased it again? Sure. It’s fine.

I purchased this item in the hopes it would cure some problems I have using my existing audio devices, which are the AirPods Pro and Microsoft LX-3000. Pros: – With the mic off, music playback is good, comparable to the AirPods – Fit is reasonably comfortable – Side tone is pretty cool. I had never used a pro caliber headset with this feature before, it is handy to hear how you sound clearly instead of muffled through the earcups. Cons: – When the mic is activated, music volume goes way up and quality decreases. This also happens on the AirPods because of Bluetooth limitations, but there is no excuse with this cabled headset. – Mic is not adjustable and sits very close to my mouth. Depending on just how the headset is placed on my head, it can actually make contact. – The mute button does not work. Raising the mic does mute as expected, but the mute indicator light on the cable fails to activate (tested on Mac and Windows) The bottom line is that I would not choose to use this headset over the $40 LX-3000. I can accept a few gremlins in budget products but for the price this needs to perform better and I have now returned.
