Jabra Evolve 65 Wireless Stereo On-Ear Headset – Microsoft Certified Headphones With Long-Lasting Battery – USB Bluetooth Adapter – Black

I held back writing a review on these initially as there were a number of reviews that criticised the quality of them.After now owning and using them for a few months I can give an honest opinion on how good they are.First of all these are a great lightweight set of headphones. They are used for 90% of teams meetings and 10% listening to music.One of the best features of these headphones is that you can simultaneously have the headphones connected to your phone and laptop at the same time, so very easy to switch from listening to music on Spotify to connecting straight into a Teams meeting. This seems to work flawlessly.I have had various headphones previously and just swapped from a pair of Sony in ear buds, but these always seem to loose battery after 3 hours and I ended up having to default to cheap plug in headphones halfway through the day, so not ideal!Quality of the headphones is great rather than premium feeling. Totally acceptable though and as they are so light weight I don't feel wearing them is ever a chore they have never caused any aches on my ears after prolonged use (unlike my Sennheiser music headphones)The pads on the earphones pivot to align to your ear shape and the head band extends to the size of your head. The headband seems to stay in place well, this is mainly due to the rubber type pad underneath the top band. It would have been nice to have this made out of some nice alcantara or something but this is a small criticism.The headphone mic can be swivelled up our the way when you have no need to talk, and there is a small magnet that snaps the back of the mic into a small recess on top of the band so it doesn't fall out of place, quite a neat solution.Connectivity can be by Bluetooth directly to the headset or by using the dongle. If using the dongle in your laptop, the headset connects straight away without any Bluetooth setup. Using the dongle also gives you an LED indicator of the connectivity status, green if it's connected, red if you are in a call etc. This is useful indicator of you can't quite work out of the headphones are or not connected. I had this dongle plugged into a USB extension originally so didn't spot the LED, but now I have it plugged into the side of my laptop I always know that they are connected.On the right hand side of the headset there is a red illuminating halo that displays if you are busy in a teams call, great to give people around you an indication if you are busy to stop un planned interruptions etc.I have also only just realised that there are a number of shortcut buttons on the side of the headset that allow you to raise the volume up and down, mute and unmute. If I remember correctly you can use ame buttons to skip tracks when listening to music.Sound quality is good, again clear and prioritised for voice clarity, exactly what I wanted. Good sound for music, but obviously music oriented headphones would have a richer bass stage.The headphones don't have noise cancelling which is a real shame, so people on the other side of the call can hear your background noise. It would make these headphones even better if they had noise cancelling.Battery life on the headset is fantastic, I easily get two days heavy use without any charging. I tend to charge at this point though so although I would likely get longer battery performance they get charged to stop them going flat. There is however a USB cable that allows them to be powered whilst also charging if flat, so you never have to worry about searching for a spare set of headphones.The headphone don't have BoiseI purchased these from Amazon warehouse for £93 and they were basically new in the original box.Really pleased with these headphones and would highly recommend.

Amazing, able to walk around untethered by wires. Amazing sound, no issues months down the line. LOVE IT !

I previously purchased a cheaper style of these (bluetooth, two ears, microphone) and thought I was onto a winner despite them feeling cheap and light. However you get what you pay for and after around 4 months they conked out. The Bluetooth connection was poor, the headphones had problems connecting and the battery wasnt great.My main problem was regarding answering my phone using facetime on the computer. I could not dial out numbers with the headphones and often could not pick-up properly.When looking for a new pair, there was an obvious gulf in the old ones (£30) and these at over £100. However having taken the plunge, I CANNOT believe how terrible the old ones were...and how good these are.First things first, the connection to the computer is via a USB dongle, not direct via bluetooth. This is done easily and connects within seconds of turning the headphones on each time. A huge advantage is that they connect to your phone separately via bluetooth at the same time. This means that if calls come in, you can answer either on your computer or on your phone - massive advantage for someone working at a desk.I use them for all calls including Skype, conference calls and Facetime video and sound quality is great. Each ear has good padding and will flex to your ears - very comfortable. Finally the microphone rotates round to sit infront of your mouth, it is magnetised so when you push it back up it clicks into the headset.Really recommend for anyone who isnt sure about splashing out. The extra cost is well worth it for the bluetooth headset.If you found this helpful, then please click helpful below.

The advert showed a headset with a stand, unfortunately that wasn’t included in the sale so I had to return and buy elsewhere. It is a fantastic headset though, great sound, really easy compatibility with PC(windows + Linux) and Mac. Range when you use the included Bluetooth adaptor is really impressive.

Bought it as this is the only brand supported by my work laptop. They are good, sound quality is excellent, noise cancelling... everything that it promises it does, but the price is very high in my view. I don't understand why. It looks very fragile...

Excellent headset, easy to use and fast setup!

Used initially for Zoom & Teams calls but now also for listening to music while I work. Comfortable enough to wear for hours on end and even though they are not closed headphones (so they don't get sweaty at all) they don't leak sound out into the room. Works with the bluetooth built into a laptop or phone but the supplied usb dongle gives better quality. Battery life is good, have worn them for 6 or 7 hours at a time without a problem. Lightweight too and bluetooth covers a fairly large 2 storey house with no problem. Expensive but definitely worth it. I wouldn't go back to corded headphones for work now.

Brilliant headset and microphone, comfortable to wear and the blue tooth function really performs very well. Battery life is good. Absolute ease to use.
