Jabra - Evolve2 65

Jabra Evolve 2 such a workhorse

I really like shokz too, Don't feel like the microphone quite cuts it for things like zoom calls and phone calls. As others have mentioned, you can stick some ear plugs in to filter out background noise. I have done this with some success. I have some ear plugs that I use for concerts that I have used a few times. I did that recently for a flight I was on. I could hear the shocks fine without the ear plugs, but it was nice to tone down the din of the jet. For my job I have gotten two headsets. I have a Jabra evolve2 65, which I have had for a few years. The battery lasts a long time and the Bluetooth range is really good. I can mute myself on a zoom call and go take a piss and nobody's the wiser. I never miss a single detail. The sound quality is good and the microphone seems to work great. I also have a poly Voyager 4320, and it's a nice headset, but I've had trouble with the name changing when it's paired for some reason. This screws up zoom and my VoIP application because I have profiles set up where my headsets. Out of the blue it will decide to not be a poly Voyager and have some generic sound device name, and then the phone rings, and I don't know where the hell the audio is coming from. My jabra headset has never done that. When I'm not using my headset and I hang it on the crank of my standing desk. Or I just put it down around my neck. If you don't like having headphones on your ears, these headsets may not be the solution.

Yeah, as someone who works with noise canceling headphones (Jabra Evolve 2) and uses personal headphones such as the Sony XM4… get Resound hearing aids or similar tech that addresses feedback. Resound specifically has a feature that will reduce feedback to almost nonexistent. I personally bought the Noahlink so I could fiddle with that feature until I got it how I liked it. I suggest considering this and doing some research. Phonaksdo have whistleblock for their feedback tech but it isn’t as good as Resounds DFS Ultra

Airpods are just flat out the way to go, but if you’re completely against it, the Jabra Evolves are good

If you want one with the best speech quality, get one with a boom microphone. Non-boom headphones are also fine if you work in a quiet environment. I gave my kid the Jabra Evolve2 65 Microsoft Teams edition, and he seems very happy with it. The MS Teams edition comes with a Jabra Bluetooth adapter, which guarantees link quality and the buttons work with MS Teams.

The Evolve2 series are outstanding. Now if you want to cancel ALL outside noise, maybe David Clark HBT40? I had a pair for datacenter work, paired to a cell phone. Couldn't hear anything from the equipment in the cage, just the phone conversation.

for work using VC and comfort etc then Jabra Evolve 2.. for music quality and NC then Sony WH-1000XM4

I have Jabra Evolve 2 65 at work and EPOS 1000 at home. I love EPOS 1000 more.

For myself? Sony xm4, for actual work etc jebra evolve2, we got them very cheap but they're great for office use and pnp with everything.

I also have the Jabra Evolve2 and love it
