Jabra launches Evolve2 75 Headset: Designed for more flexibility and mobility in Hybrid Work

I am already using Jabra Evolve2 Headset Series with Evolve2 40 and Evolve2 85, find my review here.

So I am curious how brandnew Evolve2 75 – launched today Oct 12th 2021 – fits into the series of 40,65 and 85 and how this niche looks like.

Let\’S have a look first into datasheet and highlight some aspects:

My first impressions and thoughts

Jabra is stating: \”With the combination of our ground-breaking new dual-foam technology, an improved headband and a revolutionary new ‘comfort pattern’ design, the Jabra Evolve2 75 provides incredible noise isolation and comfort for an all-round improved audio experience that feels as good as it sounds.”

Now they made me curious: Jabra Evolve2 40 performs very well in my home office, connected via USB to my Desktop or Laptop with excellent call-and microphone quality. Evolve2 85 could be in theory my favorite headset but call quality was not my Top1 choice and short boom arm scratched on my beard.

So I am finally looking forward to test new Evolve2 75 and see if it offers best of both worlds and sets new standards for Hybrid Work, my favorite topic. Find more about our Hybrid Work Tour with Microsoft here

I am writing this blogpost on a sunny beach in Spain after a plane ride, so I am also very interested to find out how advanced ANC is going to look like which goes far beyond a simple on/off switch. My in-ear buds (non-Jabra) could not filter out loud background noises and Bluetooth did only last 10 meters. So I stayed mostly quite in this press briefing call. So this headset would be much a better choice for Hyrid Work – but stay tuned: I am going to review Jabra Elite 7 Pro In-Ear Buds soon!

Jabra Evolve2 75 is going to be availabe October 15th, 329 €
