Jabra Evolve 20 Ms Stereo

Bought to replace a Plantronics headset which failed. Works very well. Plenty of lead on it so you can move about and stand up from your seat if you need to. Mic has 180° rotation so you can have it to the left or right side. Good sound quality, comfortable even after 4 hours use (gotta love those long meetings 🙄) and plenty of adjustment in the headband.

I got this product from my previous employer and had to return it when I left the organisation, so I decided to get one for myself. It's a great product, very useful for online meetings with its effective noise-cancelling feature.

Sound is pretty good and mic works well. Reasonably comfortable for long calls. I do not like two things: 1) The mic wand is very loose and only just stays in position 2) The mute etc button gizmo that is half way down the long lead keeps flying off my desk and is a pain - I control things on the computer anyway - It should be optional by plugging into a lead extension that has the gizmo. As it is the fixed/combined lead is way too long. oh and 3) it can pick up cable movement somewhat. Overall OK-ish. It may not be pricey only I'd have expected a bit better value for money.

One ear or two? This is an induction question for all our staff, as one of the things everyone (except me) gets is a new headset for teams and phones when they start working with us.Please understand this is a review from my team of 30+ techies, as I am profoundly deaf and the product is useless to me personally.The team report that the Audio is great, and clients also report that the microphone quality is really clear.The headsets are comfortable to wear with our support team keeping them on for approx 8 hours a day.The build quality is good and on average they are lasting around 2 years, but at this stage we tend to replace them for simple wear and tear.No-one ever agrees on if it’s better to be able to hear the room (one ear) or completely focus on the call / meeting (two ears) but that’s the wonderful world of free choice.We use Polycom phones in the office with a usb connector and these are perfect for that or swap over to their PC’s for Teams. It also works really well with the soft phones.All in all a great product at a sensible price, we tried many different options previously and these are the only ones that have a consensus from the team for comfort and quality.You can’t go wrong.
