Point of View on Accessories: There is a charging station available but I find the USB cable fine, Unnecessary luxury as you would end up with charging stations for so many different Bluetooth devices, so tend to stick with USB unless WiFi charging is an option

Jabra never fails to provide garbage quality at extremely high prices. Unfortunately, they're the only headset compatible with a lot of softphones otherwise I would have gone with something else. It's not easy or simple to flick the mic down when you need it; it's made from relatively soft, flimsy plastic and a poorly padded ear cuff; the headset falls off your head very easily; the mic lands right in front of your mouth; and, the person you're speaking with will have to put up with an echo or difficulty hearing you, etc etc etc. Just so disappointing.

I purchased tweo of these head sets for the ladies in Sales as the other models they were using were always dropping out or couldn't connect, and they were getting frustrated whilst trying to connect with customers.I reviewed this headset and others and based on the feed back from other customers decided to purchase two sets.The ladies in the Sales team are now very satisfied with the updated models I purchased.Set up was so easy to connect with Microsoft Teams and they have not had any issues since purchased a month ago and being bluetooth they can roam around the office and still be connected.Overall two very satisfied customers and vindicates my decision to purchase this head set.

I personally love these headsets, previously I had one speaker ear, (which broke). I had no idea it would still be under warranty.I was asked to do a short review on the product, although I thought I would contact the center regarding a preferred supplier who repairs their headsets. I received a very quick polite response from Chantelle Taylor. After asking for my headset serial number (very hard to read on the headset, had to take photos and enlarge to read). Chantel advised it's just out of warranty and I will do my best in obtaining a replacement for you. I advised I had not had a headset for at least two months due to the earpiece and microphone section snapping off the headband, not incuding the time awaiting approval from senior management to purchase ... MoreI personally love these headsets, previously I had one speaker ear, (which broke).

As I prominently on the phone with our large member base.Chantel was very courteous and has put in a request for a replacement for me since it was broken within my warranty period. Absolute outstanding customer service from your team member. Chantelle went above and beyond to assist and support me, during my desperate attempt to repair my old headset. I am really appreciative of her kind support and patience whilst I tried my best to obtain the serial number. It's hard to find this type of customer service these days within large companies. Congratulations Chantelle, for your outstanding support and problem-solving. I will only purchase headsets from Simply Heads from this day forth and will recommend them to our National Company for ongoing purchases in the future.Thanks Again!NataishaState Membership Manager ACT/Sthn NSWNECA - National Electrical Communications Association.
I’ve been using the Jabra Evolve 65 SE UC Stereo Headset and Charging Stand for a few weeks. The sound quality is great, and the wireless range is impressive. The charging stand is very convenient, and the headset is comfortable for long periods. However, the I don't think it does much to block ambient noise and could be a bit better. Overall, it’s a solid 4-star product.
Easy plug and play set-up, including Bluetooth pairing, so can answer both Teams and mobile calls from headset (and stream music etc). Note: ability to answer Teams calls from internal callers does seem to be intermittent? Swapped from a stereo to mono model, conversations in-office now easier but I have found the comfort factor of wearing on one ear all day is less than previous set (firmer ear pad? tighter fit from the mono?). Luckiliy it can be reversed to wear on other side.
The customer service was good. I explained what I wanted and they made some excellent suggestions. The headset arrived within the time frame it said it should. I didn't have too many issues with the initial setup. It paired well and I connected it up. However, after attempting to adjust it to connect to my phone and laptop it gets confused and sometimes connects the phone but not the laptop or vice versa. I called the support service and they recommended some fixes but it became messy and complicated so now I only use it exclusively with my laptop. It slides off my head very easily if I tilt too far forward or back and can get a little uncomfortable to wear after 4 hours of use. The quality however is crystal clear.

It slides off my head very easily if I tilt too far forward or back and can get a little uncomfortable to wear after 4 hours of use. The quality however is crystal clear. Blocks out coughing or sneezing accidently and reduces background noise. The buttons? are a bit too simplistic. I am still unable to correctly use the mute feature on calls. I cannot end calls well and due to the location of the on and off switch and the Bluetooth pairing being in the same place sometimes you can accidentally disconnect and it's a scramble to reconnect but I have downloaded Jabra direct for connectivity issues.
PROs- Light as a feather with surprisingly full-bodied sound--music performance was good enough that I didn't feel the need to switch to a dedicated music headset for an audio interlude or two- In a brilliant usability touch, the busy light not only glows when on a call, it flashes when a call comes in so in case you put your headset on the table, you still have a visual cue to alert you to an incoming call even if the ringtone has gone to the headset itself- Boom mic swivels fully front to back so you can set up your mic on the left or right side- Magnetic channel provides a [mostly] secure place to keep the boom mic integrated into the headband and out of the way- Just BARELY perceptible audio delay when watching videos on the iPhone or Netflix on the ... MorePROs- Light as a feather with surprisingly full-bodied sound--music performance was good enough that I didn't feel the need to switch to a dedicated music headset for an audio interlude or two- In a brilliant usability touch, the busy light not only glows when on a call, it flashes when a call comes in so in case you put your headset on the table, you still have a visual cue to alert you to an incoming call even if the ringtone has gone to the headset itself- Boom mic swivels fully front to back so you can set up your mic on the left or right side- Magnetic channel provides a [mostly] secure place to keep the boom mic integrated into the headband and out of the way- Just BARELY perceptible audio delay when watching videos on the iPhone or Netflix on the PC...completely serviceable performance for other uses given that this was clearly designed as an office headset- Convenient controls on ear cup made answering calls, changing volume/tracks, pairing, etc. remarkably easy to do one-handed...raised nubs with one or two dots further added to the experience by providing tactile cues as to whether I was pressing the "up" or "down" control- Carrying case actually includes a very tiny inner pocket for the Bluetooth dongle--another nice usability touch- Microphone performance was outstanding--in a bit of unrealistic torture testing, I dictated a 3-paragraph letter on my Surface Pro using Dragon Naturally Speaking while standing in the bathroom with the exhaust fan blowing--only two words were incorrectly recognized!CONs- Clearly made for a wide head as the headband arch is fairly flat/blunt--both my wife and I quickly developed hot spots at the top of our heads while wearing this headset- No headband padding at all--satin-touch plastic is still just hard plastic on the old noggin- Clamping force is actually a little strong for my tastes--despite how light the headset is, I found the pressure on my ears just a bit uncomfortable (YMMV)- The ear pads pivot up and down while the ear cups (where the boom mic is attached) swivel side to side; if the ear cups pivot a bit to match the angle of your ears (like they do on my head), the boom mic is likely to pop out of (and defiantly stay out of) the magnetic channel designed to hold it in placeBottom line--I really wanted to like this headset a lot more than I do--aside from the odd bit of styling flair consisting of a loud orange racing stripe on both sides, this really was a better-than-decent performer, especially for office duty/dictation and phone calls, and was potent/enjoyable enough to keep on the ears for audio or video "breaks" to recharge the soul. Sound quality was excellent (as I've come to expect from the pricier Jabra Bluetooth products) and the microphone performance for dictation was spot-on; telephone performance was also loud and clear for calls placed and received.My only gripe, sadly a deal-killer for me, was the fit...the headband was simply too flat and hard to sit comfortably on my head--the hot-spot became uncomfortable within about 15-20 minutes requiring constant adjustments of the headband which, incidentally, also resulted in constant adjustments to the boom mic to put it back on the magnetic slot that was holding it down. Now, if you have a chance to audition this headset on your own cranium, you might not notice the fit issues at all; in that case, I think you'll be incredibly satisfied with your purchase. But for me (and for my wife), the ergonomics/fit simply killed an otherwise very promising bit of tech.
To get it out of the way early: the sound is good. We put up our headphones next to our usual standbys at home and the output is decidedly clearer with better separation between the high and low tones. Midtones are crisp, which is good because Jabra advertised the Evolve 65 as being useful for phone and Skype calls. Using it on a regular call over Bluetooth (we avoided testing with VoIP apps because they almost uniformly sound better than a typical call), the quality was very clear, both for the headset user and on the other end. Range is also excellent – I was able to leave my phone on the kitchen table and walk across the entire house and the person on the other end could still hear me fine.I appreciate that the headphones come with a USB cable that doubles for ... MoreTo get it out of the way early: the sound is good.

Range is also excellent – I was able to leave my phone on the kitchen table and walk across the entire house and the person on the other end could still hear me fine.I appreciate that the headphones come with a USB cable that doubles for audio output with a computer, and that they shine a “busy light” when you’re on a call. Overall, these two features position the headphones as business oriented, so that just makes the decidedly un-businesslike random orange stripes on the headphones baffle me more. If these are professional headphones, why does the busy light glow a sinister red, and the Bluetooth light alternate red before turning vivid blue? Combined with the orange stripe, these form a mishmash of colors that don’t fit any professional palette, definitely not one I would expect to see used in an office.And that leads to the main thing that bothers me about these headphones. Obviously for true audiophiles, sound quality is everything. But the Jabra Evolve 65 falls into this weird midtier price and quality range where the headphones trade as much on their extra features as their audio, and the features as they arrive are really disappointing. The design of the headphones feels cheap. Orange stripe notwithstanding, the plastic construction is hollow and thin. The boom mic is advertised to have a magnetic slot to discreetly stow it along the headband, but this quickly loses its seamless appearance the second you elongate the headphones for fit, and worse, it doesn’t actually stick at all! The moment you put the headphones on it instantly pops out of its slot and refuses to be put back in, making you look ridiculous – unless you were wearing it in the privacy of your office cubicle and nowhere else.The ear cushions are too small to actually cover anyone’s ears, and this instantly tells you their claim of “passive noise cancellation” is really no cancellation. I was listening to John Legend’s latest single and could easily hear my wife smugly remark “You look like you have an antenna sticking out of your head” from across the kitchen. The 10 hour battery life is on the low end of dedicated over-ear headphones available, which usually run about 20-40 hours. Finally, the active button on the side of the Jabra headphones are labeled “NFC” despite having no NFC functionality whatsoever, and I still am at a loss as to why this would be the case.I hope this review adequately explains why I struggle so much to recommend this product. No doubt these headphones sound good, but it’s important to recognize that for $170 you expect a measure of good design with good sound, or excellent sound with poor design, and the Jabra Evolve 65 satisfies neither of these. I get that my criticisms might sound like nitpicks, but these are nitpicks advertised as features you would pay for but not actually be able to enjoy – which begs the question, why not look at a cheaper set that doesn’t offer these but sounds equally good? The short battery life seals the deal as making this a pair of headphones I could only wear to get through the workday, charge when I clock out and not use again until I return to work. Don’t get me wrong – my wife and I both own Jabra products, and we like them a lot. But for the money, it’s hard to see the value in this one.
Upon opening the box you will find a black neoprene zippered case with the headphones inside. There’s a very small pouch inside the top edge of the case with a clear window and it contains the Bluetooth dongle for use in your desktop/laptop. There’s also a bright red USB cable that’s 56” long, a quick start manual, a registration card and a EU Declarations book.The first thing I noticed is that these are really light compared to my other wireless Bluetooth headsets and the ear pieces/speakers are noticeably smaller. Putting them on they are extremely comfortable and the small cushions sit comfortably on my ears with very little pressure exerted on them. The earpieces have plenty of adjustment and I could easily fit them to my head with plenty of room for more. ... MoreUpon opening the box you will find a black neoprene zippered case with the headphones inside.

Putting them on they are extremely comfortable and the small cushions sit comfortably on my ears with very little pressure exerted on them. The earpieces have plenty of adjustment and I could easily fit them to my head with plenty of room for more. They also rotate 90 degrees one direction “for storage” and about 10 degrees the other way to help them sit on your ears, “my other Bluetooth headsets do not have the small rotation for comfort”. On close to the smallest setting they fit my wife perfectly and she commented on how comfortable and light they are. She also noted that she especially liked/appreciated the orange strip on the headband, as where’s she’s from that orange stipe means “good luck”. She usually hates headphones as they are too heavy and she doesn’t like anything completely covering her ears. The inside of the headband has a soft feel rubber coating and it seems to help keep them from sliding around on my head.Before turning them on I plugged in the provided USB cable, attached that to my charger and let it sit for a good hour before trying them out. Pairing was very simple and straightforward, just slide the on/off switch over to the Bluetooth label and hold there for 3 seconds initiating pairing. My Mi Mix 2s paired without any issue. I also tried the NFC pairing with my Sony XZ2 and upon putting the phone up to the headset I instantly received the “Pair” popup on my phone, no problems there. When a device is paired or disconnected you get a nice voice prompt in the headset stating so. I haven’t tried the included USB dongle as I didn’t need it for my gaming laptop to connect to them with no problem at all and everything worked like it should as it did when they were connected to my desktop computer through the USB cable.I have some hearing issues and need to use either hearing aids or a headset while making phone calls or watching TV otherwise I only catch part of the conversation especially if there is any noise or background music while someone is talking. I made multiple phone calls and one fairly long call “45 minutes” and could understand everything without problem. These actually sound quite a bit better than the Sony ones I have. Voices were nice and clear very clean sounding without distortion. Next I tried watching a movie on my phone “Batman Vs Superman” sounded surprisingly good, especially voices. I handed the headset to my wife for her to listen to and she said “wow it’s like being right there”, she was more than impressed with how these sounded. There’s isn’t an overabundance of Bass but I don’t like heavy Bass due to my hearing problems, for me, these are about as close to perfect as they get.During a phone call the ring around the multi-function button will illuminate “red”, if you don’t like that or it’s distracting just press and hold the volume up/down buttons at the same time for three seconds to disable that feature “simple enough”. Both of us really liked the “busy light” as it lets someone know you are on a call, I could have used that many time letting people know I was busy without having to give hand signals that I was “occupied” at the moment. On the same side as the multi-function button are the volume up / down buttons each one situated above and below the multi-function button. This makes it very easy to adjust the volume levels. The Sony headsets have the volume on the side and I have to feel around for those buttons to find them. The movable “boom” microphone is especially nice, you can rotate it around so you can use this headset with the microphone on either the left or right side, my Sony headset doesn’t have a boom mike but the way the speakers are angled you can’t put the controls on whichever side you wish, “right side only in their case”. I do like that you can swing it up and attach the end in the groove in the headband with the built in magnet. My wife thought this was a really nice feature, you can put it up when not in use and adjust it up/down to perfectly position the microphone during a conversation.I also tried out connecting the included USB cable to an open USB port on my desktop computer. Windows found the headphones and immediately set them up for use. These work really well as a set up computer / gaming headphones and do charge while they are connected to the computer. The one thing that I hate about my Sony Bluetooth headset is you cannot use them while they are charging, they shut completely off once you plug them into USB power, with these you can use and charge at the same time.As far as battery life goes, the 10 rated hours is plenty for my needs, I haven’t even used them long enough in a single sitting to drain the battery and it’s simple enough to plug them in while using to keep them charged. I have multiple portable battery packs and that will make it simple to keep them charged up while traveling. It would be nice if the battery life were longer but the small size and light weight of the headphones would make that difficult to achieve. The “Passive” noise cancelling isn’t that strong but it’s good enough for my needs. It does cut down on ambient background noise, just enough to make it less noticeable. I can definitely tell the difference with them on or off, it’s not a lot but it is noticeable, not as much as the Active noise cancelling one of my other set of headphones has.So far I really can’t find anything to complain about, the price is high, but it’s not as high as some other’s I’ve seen by any stretch, a good set of headphones is never going to be inexpensive. These seem to be very well built and are pretty sturdy for the size and weight. Will be interesting to see how these hold up over time.
