Anything by Jabra. I currently have jabra evolve 2 - 65 flex. My previous pair lasted me from 2020-2025 when the battery finally went out. I am always on calls during work then use them for gaming at night so they get a lot of use. The battery life is impressive
I second the Evolve2 65 Flex suggestion. I work in an open floor type of office, and it is one of the best at blocking my customer support fellow. Plus the boom arm folds neatly into the ear cup, so I don’t look like I’m taking orders at Starbucks when I just want to listen to some music. Another good option is the Epos Impact 1000
Vielleicht das Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex? Die benutze ich selbst seit kurzem und finde die deutlich bequemer (Brillenträger) und das ANC ist auch toll. Hatte davor die Evolve2 65 ohne Flex. Oder halt die Evolve 75/85, sind jedoch auch preislich dann knackig.

Jabra evolve2 flex 65 foldable. Boom mic with automute is great. I use receiver which is not convenient but assures huge coverage in comparison to the build-in Bluetooth. They boots around 5 seconds. Power button is the same as pairing one so you cannot hold it too long when in hurry. Unfortunately it’s not possible to pair a headset with two receivers (hybrid work here). I use them since February. Two or three times I had to restart my headphones during the call due to the low voice quality. Everything else is great
I love Jabra and I have been using many of their products latest Speak 2 75 and Jabra evolve2 65 flex. Although i like them I have complaints people cant hear me while using headphones or the speaker is causing echo during teams calls. Unfortunately not sure what’s going on but Jabra has not been consistent lately and I casually have to unplug and replug for them to work properly. 65 Flex has been hit and miss and i have been using them more than a year now. Some people did say after one year they start having problems and looks like I am facing those problems now.
I actually have the Evolve2 85 and it works perfectly fine for me. I think the frustration usually comes down to how people expect ANC to behave during a call. Yes, the active noise cancelling drops off when you’re on a live call (switching more toward sidetone/transparency), but the passive isolation from those huge ear cups is still top-tier. I’ve never felt like I was 'talking underwater' or struggling to hear, and the mic quality for my colleagues has been crystal clear. It sounds like a lot of the hate comes from people who want total silence while they are talking, which isn't really how most high-end headsets are tuned to work anyway. For a busy office, I still find them way more reliable than the older 80s.
Thanks for the suggestion, I have a Bose NC 700 already that I use for travel mostly. And yes the mic does a good job, but not as good as the boom mic on the 85 and also there is no busy light like the 85. I use mostly the jabra2 65 flex because of it's low profile in a bag and the great mic performance. The new evolve3 85 looks like a great solution for hybrid work with a low profile in the flat case, ANC, active busy call light and nice mic performance. The test look good
