The Jabra Evolve2 65 headphones, recipients of an Editors’ Choice and Outstanding recognition from PCMag, are presently available for $203.31 instead of the regular price of $301. This represents a significant discount. However, it’s worth mentioning that this price has fluctuated recently; it was at a low of $149.99 on Amazon just yesterday, according to price tracking tools, and may drop again in the future. Be aware that price variations can also depend on different locations.

Visually, these headphones resemble a typical on-ear design, distinguished only by the integrated boom microphone. This mic features a three-mic MEMS array, offering a frequency response between 100Hz and 8kHz, ensuring clear voice transmission while mitigating background noise—ideal for professional settings. Raising the mic mutes it, while lowering it answers calls. Additionally, three control buttons for play, volume, and calls are positioned on the right earcup, which is also equipped with a status LED that turns red during calls.

Thanks to its 40mm drivers, these headphones provide profound bass and crisp treble across a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz, free from distortion even at maximum volume levels. For those seeking audio customization, the Jabra Sound+ app allows users to tweak EQ settings, disable the busy light, or activate white noise to help block distractions. Although the headphones offer decent noise isolation, they may not completely filter out louder external noises such as sirens or honking horns. Jabra claims a battery life of approximately 37 hours, though actual duration may vary based on volume levels and usage patterns.

In terms of connectivity, the headset is compatible with all VoIP services (receiving UC certification) and operates on Bluetooth 5.0. However, it is limited to SBC codec support, lacking options for AAC or AptX. On the upside, it allows for multi-device pairing, remembering up to eight devices and connecting to two simultaneously. A USB-A dongle is included for simple computer pairing. Transitioning between phone and computer mainly functions seamlessly, pausing audio on one device when a call comes in on the other, although playback may not always resume automatically. If a music app is active on both devices, the headset’s playback button occasionally toggles between sources, as highlighted in a PCMag review.
