Yeah it will work fine, though Jabra recommends using the included Link 390 USB Dongle for best compatibility.
Depending how loud the background noise is, the Evolve2 might be a better choice than the Evolve3.
Jabra has a great set, but they are pricey. Jabra Evolve2 85. They are noise canceling headphones with pretty good sound. I don't notice much difference between them and my Bose Quiet Comforts. But, the big difference is they have a microphone arm that comes down. I was so happy to find an almost new pair on FB marketplace for $200 shipped. Highly recommend. I will say though, I have an older non noise canceling ones (Jabra Evolve 65) and the microphone is better on those. But the Evolve2 85s are still decent. Not as good as a dedicated microphone though. In a previous job I used a Blue Yeti on a boom arm. Seriously, check out the Jabra Evolve2 85s.
Video meetings (Zoom, Teams, Meet, etc.) desktop speakers (Kanto Ora4) and external mic ( Hyper X QuadCast 2 S).
Calls: (mix of earbuds and over the ear)
Freebuds Pro 5 --> amazing for call quality and 6 + hours battery life
Jabra Evolve 2 85 and Razer Blackshark V3 Pro (these don't get as warm as the evolve 2 85)
I can confirm this, just set sidetone to +3 or +6 using Jabra Direct.
As for the ANC. It will still be present when you mute. I actually find it very useful because this way you can “feel” if you are muted or not.
However, I can see where OP disappointment comes from, as I also needed to adjust settings of this headset. Coming from Jabra Evolve 75 to Evolve2 85 was pretty disappointing. Waiting for Evolve3.
I'm using jabra evolve2 85. I do calls 4-5 hours a day being a good woof woof as customer success manager lmao.
It can get pretty hot but if you have aircon no issue at all. Excellent mic quality and excellent noise cancelling and brah when someone vacuuming the floor (cos I wfh) they can't hear it on zoom.
Strongly recommend this.
I have a Jabra evolve2 85 headset.
Pros:
Over ear design with better than average ANC
Mic folds down for clear calling and cancelling out ambient noise
Good sound quality for listening to music or watching videos while travelling
Above average battery life (I think I can go two 8hr days without a recharge)
USB-C rechargeable so no need to get their desk mount charging puck
Comes with a good carrying case for travel
2.4ghz dongle for quick connectivity, but also Bluetooth to connect to phone
3.5mm jack
Cons:
Going from airpods to these will feel big and bulky for a bit
No touch controls (my Sony over the ears had these from like 6 years ago), lots of physical buttons.
Kind of expensive
I'd like to mention on the expense of these headphones that I do feel like it's worth it. I've had this set for like 3-4 years and I have had only one or two times where someone said I sounded muffled? Out of like 1000's of calls. These do a great job of filtering out ambient noise both for you and for your listener.
Good luck!
