Jabra Evolve2 55 Bluetooth Headset

In Brief:

Jabra have a mind-boggling array of Bluetooth headsets, but the Evolve2 55 stands out as a perfect balance of quality and price. Designed for use with PC/Mac via USB dongle and mobile/tablet/BT compatible deskphone via Bluetooth (not for USB deskphones), it's super wearable, has great quality sound, a long microphone boom to pick up your voice only and high-end features without the high end price. All versions have ACTIVE NOISE CANCELLING in earcup(s).  Dongle type dictates the charging connection. Launch Date - May 2023

What We Love:

+ Super light-weight at only 79g (mono) and 130g (stereo)
+ Active Noise Cancelling in the earcups to block out colleagues/family/neighbours etc
+ All day comfort with soft earcups, a padded headband and it's not too tight on the head!
+ Great sound quality both ways -  better than some higher end models
+ Lower microphone to answer & lift to mute function - so intuitive
+ Busy lights on front and back of earcups - so colleagues know when you're busy
+ Folds flat into a soft felt pouch with a pocket to keep the dongle safe - a must for hybrid workers. Charge stand also folds flat and fits in pouch if you just can’t live without it for a day
+ Forgot to charge it? No worries, you can charge and use at the same time via the included USB cable
+ Comes in mono and stereo options (many Evolve2s come as stereo only)
+ Super bang for buck!

What We Don't Love:

- Microphone can only be worn on right side (for mono options,  this means the earcup is on the right too)
- ANC is on/off only.  No hear-through / adjustable levels.
- Pouch could be a bit more sturdy
- Dongle does not work with USB desk phones
