Jabra Evolve2 40 UC Wired Headphones, USB-C, Stereo, Black – Telework Headset for Calls and Music, Enhanced All-Day Comfort, Passive Noise Cancelling Headphones, UC-Optimized with USB-C Connection

***UPDATE: 4 years in*** I've been using these for at least 6 hours a day since 2021 and the only thing I've had to do is replace the ear pads a couple of times because they got so worn out from a lot of use. Recently, the cord is showing a lot of wear and has started to crack. Since I am hybrid telecommute, I take these with me on the days I work onsite and I wrap the cord around the set before putting it in my backpack. This may have contributed to the cracking. But, hey, I think getting a solid 4 years use out of these with zero trouble is pretty remarkable given how much I use them. I will be buying a new pair as soon as I finish this review update. If you are hesitating, don't, just go ahead and buy them! Highly recommend. **Original review from 2021*** I'm a petite woman and a lot of headsets overwhelm my head. I was in the lookout for a comfortable headset. Now that I'm working from home permanently, I wear headset sometimes more than 6 hours a day. My old cheapy ones would kill my ears, so I did A LOT of research on headsets. I didn't want a gaming headset, I wanted something designed for virtual meetings. This one is perfect! It's comfortable, the sound is great, and my colleagues have told me the microphone is crystal clear. One thing I don't like is the Sidetone. This is a feature where you can actually hear your voice through the speakers. Boy, talk about distracting. If you are one of those people who hates the sound of your own voice, you won't like this either. Fortunately you can turn it off! Highly recommend these headsets if you have to use Teams and Zoom for virtual meetings.

I was looking for a headset with decent (mic) noise cancellation for online meetings / calls. I use it 95% for Zoom Phone and meetings, but it works well with others, too, like Teams, Webex, etc. It is comfortable for long periods at a time, the mute functionality via the mic boom is very practical (e.g. lowering the boom pics up calls I get, moving it back up mutes the mic). The sound quality for everyone listening to me on the other end beats using the laptop mic and it does a decent job of eliminating noise around you: the mic drastically reduces noise pick-up on my side and the ear cushions do a decent job for a passive noise cancellation head phone. I would recommend these.

I bought this as substitute for my Jabra Evolve 40 that I use during online meetings and gaming during weekends. This headset works great but I miss the flexibility of the Evolve 40 that has external controls to mute, increase and decrease your volume (the round control), this version Evolve2 40 has great sound and works with USB-C, but you need to control partly with the software you are using which is overwhelming during gaming, not as simple as it used to be. If this version is paired with the round controller (from Evolve 40 first version) that can mute and has volume control externally, this will be almost perfect headphone for daily, work and light gaming use.

Truly great setup for Voice typing on my computer and listening 🎧 to music etc on both my laptop and cell phone

Good: * Music mode is clear with great bass extension. Mids are recessed but still a pleasant sound. * Mic is clear and has good noise cancellation Bad: * The voice mode has greatly boosted mids and lower treble. It makes for a harsh listening experience. * The unit has trouble switching between voice and music modes. It would have been better for a more neutral profile for music and voice with no modes.

Amazing headset. Noise cancellation quality is the best. Before I bought this head It used to be difficult to unmute and speak on the calls/present because the other headsets would capture the surrounding noise. After buying this headset I am able to manage my meetings without any disturbance to the meeting attendees

The microphone does not work. Unfortunately, did not use it for a few weeks after I got the headphones, hence missed the return window. Now not able to use it and figuring out a way to dispose it. Wish I had bought the Logitech instead :-(

This headset took some getting used to because with my other headset the microphone was on the left. I put the headset on the wrong way once and was thinking no bid deal, I'll just flip the microphone down in the other direction...well, it doesn't work that way. The microphone is strictly on the right. My other headset also had the volume and mute controls on the cord itself, but that is exactly why I needed a new headset. The control seemed to get stuck and no amount of troubleshooting would get it past that point. With this headset once you flip the mic up to a certain point it will mute and it says "muted". Once you flip the microphone back down it says "unmuted". So far I love this headset, the sound quality is great and the background noise has been non existent on my calls. Definitely recommend it even if it seems different than what you currently have.

I had high expectations on these but didn't need them. Well built headphones, reasonably comfortable but volume if people on other end wasn't very loud and could be get them louder. I had been using a cheaper JBL Headphones before these and went back to them after this. Reasonably comfortable meant they were soft ear pads but small and we're good but not great. I understand the more you pay the better the features are. I need them for Zokm calls which can go for up to 90-120mins per call and I struggled with these after the second call in a row. So if you are on calls for longer periods, pay for better than these. So no good for longer calls and volume wasn't very loud for average caller. Louder callers maybe but you need clear louder earphones to hear all what t he caller says then choose another set if headphones.

Adquiri estos auriculares en noviembre 2022, funcionaron sin problema hasta que decidí actualizar el firmware de acuerdo a la aplicación del fabricante y ahi fue donde empezaron los problemas. El programa jabra direct indicó que la actualización se realizó sin problema alguno pero al momento de desconectar y conectar nuevamente el equipo ya no fue detectado (laptop con windows). Conecté el equipo a otras laptops y no funcionó. Probé sobre una Macbook y ahi si fue detectada y funciona a medias ya que hay que hacer "reset" para que el sistema de audio de la macbook la reconozca. Segui el proceso de soporte pero al fina indican que para hacer efectiva la garantia (o algo similar) tengo que enviar el producto a estados unidos porque el equipo es de importación. Los gastos corren por mi cuenta, tanto del envio como de que me llegue a mi domicilio (México). Yo no tengo una direccion allá y pues practicamente aqui se termina la buena experiencia de uso del equipo. Considerando esto buscare otras opciones de marca y sobre todo que pueda comprar en Mexico

Very good and genuine product. Original packaging ✌️

I had always been against wearing over-ear headphones as they are usually oversized, heavy, hot and the weight on my neck usually causing headaches afterwards. Since the pandemic, online meetings have become an essential way of communicating at work and keeping in touch with loved ones, I am so pleased that I found this new generation of Jabra on-ear headphones. It is lightweight, great-looking, comfortable, provides sufficient noise cancellation and clear sound. I have tried the Evolve2 30 originally because worrying about Evolve2 40 may be too heavy for me. But I was convinced by the larger speakers that delivered a much clear sound than Evolve2 30 and the weight is acceptable which did not cause me headache or neck pain even after wearing it for 5 to 7 hours a day with 3 to 4 small breaks in between. I highly recommend it.

Dans le cadre de mon travail avec l’ordi et vidéoconférence, mes collègues ont remarqués la qualité de mon son. Je connais pas d’autres casques, mais Jabra est une très bonne qualité et pour le prix je suis très satisfaite!!! Le casque vient avec un étui et il est léger. Je recommande vivement!
