I love review channels which ACTUALLY test the microphone quality with examples. Nicely done. But it also shows that the mic quality of BT headsets can suck big time (btw: that Orosound mic was clipping/crackling like crazy!)... 😁😇 And it makes me even more mad at my Jabra Evolve2 85. Apart from freezing randomly, Sidetone still useless after the 4th firmware upgrade, cracking at every head movement and Busy Light only working with the dongle - the mic quality really is just sub-par. And all this for a premium price... Just for reference my previous office headsets: (nowadays I prefer on-ear and ANC and boom-mic) -GN / Jabra BIZ 2400 (great mic, headphone sound suck) -Jabra Evolve 75 (mic not really that great; on-ear isn't just for me) -Sennheiser MB-660 (boomless; sub-par mic quality for a premium price) -Sony WH-X1000M3 (boomless; good as headphones, but sucks at mic quality) -Poly Blackwire C5220 (just to try wired again; sidetone unuseable, constant crackling noises in the headphones, weird headband)

Microphone sound wise and based on it's ability to isolate surrounding noise and only capture the focussed voice, I think the poly voyager focus was the obvious standout. I have the older model made by plantronics and glad to see that the sound fence tech is still there and still the best. Not sure about the "intelligent mic muting" feature as this wasn't on the older models. I've been working and conferencing from a remote location, often noisy environments like a shared office space, from a car while driving etc. and the voyager focus has been a stable part of this environment. I've tried a few others, including evolve 65, etc. voyager 5200, but none of them seem to do the noise fence as well as the focus. I've even resorted to using "Voicemeter" on my laptop to implement a software noise fence. I sometimes use this in combination with whichever headset I happen to have. The voyager focus pretty much does without me having to use voicemeter. ANyway, I will liekly get another set based on what I heard in this review.
Any recommendations for a headset that you can customize the EQ for the call and not just music from your iPhone? My Blue Parrot B350XT works great BUT most calls sound very muffled and bass heavy. I need more highs and mids to clearly understand the caller.
Bro, Ive been reading my tail off looking for a new headset. Currently using the Jabra Evolve 65 thankfully my employer bought, but theyre so light if I lean over they slide right off my head. Also, while working from home I run a computer repair business from home, and I like how these connect to my pc via usb wireless dongle and bluetooth to my phone but im looking for something over the ear. Im glad I found your channel! Hilarious the 2 most annoying sounds I deal with during the day is two barking dogs and my wife blending smoothies in the next room, lol!
Hey Shawn, thanks for the feedback. We finally found someone where a blender running is actually a thing while working! 🤣 we know it's an extreme test most clients won't need to block out the noise, but it's a fun test nonetheless.
thanks for making this video, I wish I watched it before I went for the elite2-85. I listened to the entire video from the 2-85, and the best sounding microphones are the Poly Voyager Focus 2 and the evolve 2-75. You are right, the 2-85 is amazing for listening quality and noise reduction, but the mic unfortunately feel (and sound) not at the same level. A lot of my colleagues complain about the poor quality of the mic. It seems I might have to downgrade to the 2-75. Thanks again for your tech comparisons
I make calls all day long and I have not found a better headset than the anker soundcore life u2. Highly recommend testing these against what you have in this video. Long battery life, solid voice isolation, cheap, and for listening to music as an added bonus, they are loud and have excellent bass.
Hi Wally, great to hear those work for you. We'll have to order a pair and test. We've tested a lot of earbuds so we'd be shocked if they outperformed or came close to the headsets in this video.
Great review thanks.. Orosound Tilde Pro has best voice quality in quiet environment. Voyager fucus was best with cancelling dog sounds and blender. Jabra 2 75 was best for cancelling fan noise. I thought Jabra 2 85 sounded a liittle disappointing compared to the other headsets. Many thanks Simon
I agree with this. I feel pretty much the same. I think the Poly Voyager Focus might be the one I go with. Such an awesome review!’ Quick silly question: As an iPhone 13 pro max user who will be vlogging in the streets, would this do the job and work in Video mode? Meaning, I’d hardly be using it for Calls/Phone mode; moreso Camera/Video.
Hi David and greetings from Greece. Great and thorough review on all headsets. Since I'm a Yealink fan which Bluetooth headset would you recommend? I would like to have the option for dual connection (computer and phone). Thank you in advance and happy holidays!!
@@HeadsetAdvisor thank you so much for replying. I was referring to a connection between computer and mobile phone. We use a softphone (call via our pc) in our agency and switching every time my mobile rings is kind of annoying, that's why Im looking for a dual Bluetooth. Thank you once more.
The one that stood out for me was the Jabra Evolve2 85: the worst-sounding mic across the board (too nasally & sounding very compressed) from the most expensive headset. It did have awesome ANC though.
Nicely done! I'd pick the Orosound Tilde Pro and the Jabra Evolve2 75. I think they sound the best. Maybe the jabra sounded a little better. Not a fan of on ear headphones. They don't seem to work well for me. I do have the Evolve2 65's. They sound amazing. I'd have to test the Orosund and the Evolve2 75.
I'm going two years and 8 months on my Jabra Evolve 75 from 2020 working from home in a tech support call center style of use. So far so good. I thought the battery was dying but it could have been not fully seated in the charging cradle. Glad to know its still the top gun out there after all these years.
Believe it or not the OG Evolve 75 has better mic performance than just about anything out there, including the version 2, as evidenced by many videos out there comparing it.
Thanks for this comparison, awesome stuff. Voyager seems the be best overall package followed by Jabra 75. Dumb question but can the mic be changed to L side on Jabra?
Have the jabra evolve 75 and the latest Jabra evolve 2 75 and surprisingly the mic quality and sound on the evolve 75 is better. Evolve 2 75 looks stylish but does not have the same mic sound quality. Would like to hear your feedback
Hi Srikanth, that's a hard one for us to answer because both sounded good but we gave the slight edge to the Evolve2 75. Although the microphones are comparable, it's all around an upgrade to the Evolve 75. You can't go wrong with either. If you don't need the improved ANC, mic noise cancellation, ability to hide the mic into the headset, longer battery and updated USB-C connection for charging, the Evolve 75 is still a good way to go if the price difference is significant.
Glad this video exist I sure needed help now that I work from home. I would love to be in my bed & run to a call instead of sitting on standby in one spot at home lol
Hello. I don’t know enough about headsets. My wife works at home, and the complaining is always the noise I make in the background. I understand that noise cancellation mode cancels the noise I make around her, but it doesn’t cancel it to the people how are listening to her. Does the microphone reduces the background noise to the people on the other side?
Great Review.. I just need to confirm the battery life of Jabra evolve2 65, if I turn off the busylight (because I'm not gonna need it) What's gonna be the talktime?
@@HeadsetAdvisor Thanks for the info I'm torn between the evolve2 65 and evolve2 75, but the 24hours talk time of evolve2 75 is a big let down for me considering that it is new and pricier.
@@lloydlausa5314 That can be a tough one to choose between. The reason the battery isn’t as much is because you get the added feature of ANC in the speakers. Because of that it uses more power, but you really can’t go wrong either way.
Hi, I’m currently the evolve 20 for iPad video recordings on the way, not in a close room but usually on the way to work in a parking lot or just when I have a few spares minutes here and there .I love the sound,but looking for a more mobile way to do this, maybe bt set or other cordless set. The sound in the earphones doesn’t interests me at all, but can be a bonus. My only interest is in mic and great noise canceling, what are my options
Wow, what a great careful review. I have the SONY WH1000XM5 - surprised that it didn't make it onto this list - however here are my problems with that headset. 1) Heavy 8.8. 1.5) Tends to press in on my ears AND on the top of my head -can give me a serious headache by the end of the day. My work around for this works OK but looks ridiculous - a soft cloth padding all along the inside of the headset. 2) Turns off randomly at least once per shift. I work as a triage nurse so that is a serious problem. 3) Each time it turns off I have to reconnect it too and also reconnect it to my Citrix Jabber - time consuming. I was thinking of getting a headphone that has a dongle or USB just to stop that kind of problem - would it be effective? Thinking of the final 3 headsets, will consider. Thanks Jennie
Hi Jennie, thanks for sharing your thoughts. For work we definitely wouldn't recommend the XM5's. They're a great pair of headphones if you use them for music, personal use and some phone calls, but for a business headset this wouldn't be the best way for most that need a headset for work mainly.
OooRah! you are the first video audio I heard with my new wireless headset with dongle connection. I don't have bluetooth on old pc so I need a dongle. Thanks for being tested. 🙂
I've been looking for a headset mic for some time now and while I understand the need for noise cancelation, what I don't understand is why there is a distinct walkie-talkie sound to headworn mics. Is this standard?
Hi Jack, from what we hear, it's a challenge for manufactures to make a microphone that's noise canceling while still giving the best mic sound quality. What do you think of the mic quality of the models at either link below? ruclips.net/video/WKT_F75TtCc/видео.html ruclips.net/video/LRmTMpZVoVc/видео.html
Both demos suffer from serious roll-off in the highs that kill presence. Plus there is a noticeable distortion. The camera mic and of course the Rode mic are much better, although the Rode would need some acoustic treatment in the room. However, they don't do well without noise cancellation. Would the Rode in a treated room running Krisp work better? I wonder. I am only comparing the sound from a cheap headset, laptop, and phone speaker but the sound degradation is quite obvious in all three.
I enjoy walking around my neighborhood while talking on the phone. I'm on the phone a lot. This issue I'm having in a big way is the WIND. It blows hard and I can't go on walks while talking. I was hoping you could point me in the right direction as to the right headset so I can go on walks while talking and that would cancel out the noise for me sure but more for the person that I'm on the call with. If you could assist me here it would be much appreciated.
Hi Ryan, most models we can think of will have limitations in that regards. When wind is blowing directly on the microphone it's unavoidable to prevent the wind from fully being picked up. The best thing you can try is choosing either one of these headsets on the video and getting a microphone windscreen to help as best as possible. The Opencomm UC seems like it would be a good model for you to consider.
hmm of those 2 I'd do the Focus 2. But I would recommend you take a look at the new Jabra Evolve2 55 (has ANC similar price to 65 lighter, more comfortable, and has a better noise cancelling mic) and the Evolve2 65 Flex 2 of our favorites right now. Check them out here: headsetadvisor.com/collections/jabra-wireless-headset
I need something like this, but in cheaper version, cause im tired of wireless gaming headset, can you recomend me something like this, light but wireless with dongle buuut very cheap
Hi Adrian, below are a couple cheaper alternative options to consider. headsetadvisor.com/products/discover-adapt-20-dual-speaker-wireless-uc-headset headsetadvisor.com/products/yealink-bh72-duo-wireless-bluetooth-headset
I wear glasses and have not been able to find a headset that is comfortable. I am in a quiet environment but I talk on the phone for about 8 hrs a day. What would you recommend?
Hi Lee, a very unique headset we've heard customers using with glasses who find it comfortable is here headsetadvisor.com/products/aftershokz-opencomm-uc-bone-conduction-stereo-bluetooth-wireless-headset-for-pc-mobile
great video unfortonully Jabra headsets have many many issues. i was never able to charge my one and digging on the problem are many many people having the some issue. i have my jabra evolve2 75 for just three days. obviously i will not back to jabra
If also wanted to use on airplane for noise canceling, which would you recommend. Also what is needed to be able to connect to hear movies on plane systems.
@@celiad571 in that case the Tilde would be best and nothings needed to pair with your mobile phone, you would pair via Bluetooth. If the plane has a USB audio outlet the included USB cables all that’s needed. Or, if there’s only a 3.5mm port then you’d get this accessory for your Tilde headsetadvisor.com/products/orosound-tilde-pro-usb-c-to-3-5mm-cable
I have the plantronics 5200 and it doesn't do well at blocking out my cats' meowing, or loading the dishwasher, I have complaints about those. but I like it's size, and I use it at work because i use my hands and get a lot of phone calls and need handsfree phone.
It would be awesome if it could block out all noises, but as you mentioned with the low size comes a bit of a sacrifice on the noise cancellation of the mic.
Yes, there is one wireless headset that we're aware of that up to 5 headsets to connect to one phone. Please contact us for more info headsetadvisor.com/pages/contact-us
@@HeadsetAdvisor no.. I mean i need 1 earpiece or bone than can connect upto 3 phone .. So incase driving work phone & personal phone is connected if there's incoming call
its a bit sas that apparently you dont take in consideration how important gestures etc are. i really love i.e. folding away my microfone and being instantly muted, since i am traveling a lot and cant always use the buttons on my phone or pc
Which one do you prefer I work in a call center where they play loud music and I work with over 30 employees who are also on the phones making calls. They did provide us with gaming headphones which sucks because the audio is low and I find myself having to ask the client to repeat what they are saying because I can’t really hear what. They are sayings smh. Which one of these are noise canceling? And which one of these headphones can perform under loud noise music and people talking????
So - I have had 2 Jabra Evolve2 65 sent to me - the first one was DOA (dead on arrival) and the 2nd one has a short - the sound goes from let ear to right ear, then both, then none - then left...etc. when I touch the headset, it sounds like a short fuse. I am not impressed with Jabra to be honest. I was so excited to get my headset as I work remotely on a softphone. Was looking forward to bluetooth and the freedom of getting up from my desk while still on a call. Can you recommend another brand?
Hi Jocelyne, if we were in your same situation we’d feel the exact same way. That being said we sell a ton of these headsets and this is highly uncommon to have two defective like this in a row. If you’re open to it we’d suggest requesting one more warranty replacement. Otherwise feel free to consider another brand we’re hearing great feedback from customers ruclips.net/video/WKT_F75TtCc/видео.html Or another model here ruclips.net/video/DIdPx1XsrNM/видео.html
@@HeadsetAdvisor Thank you for your quick reply!! I just finished my email to Jabra support and I asked if they would consider upgrading my headset to the Evolve2 75 - would be nice considering I paid for this headset 3 weeks ago (directly from Jabra) and have yet to have a working unit!! LOL - I will keep you posted as to their response and I will look at the links you sent me. Thanks again!! Love your channel!
@@HeadsetAdvisor Just realized I can buy headsets from you!! Bummer - would love to support you but already purchased from Jabra and hoping for a resolution. I will recommend you to my workmates. I work remotely for an airline and we are over 100 employees growing to over 400+. We are located in Canada.
@@jocelynemonette7940 now you know we exist 😁 anytime your team needs headsets feel free to send them our way and we can help get anyone you know setup with the right headsets.
Which wireless headsets have you tried? Usually any wireless model with the included USB dongle from the main brands will give you close to wired headset quality.
@@HeadsetAdvisor best ones ive found so far are steel series 7, theres HUHD, Zalmans none of those are a patch on the turtle beach 450 wired headset steel series is up there but still you can tell its running off a battery
That's a tough question to answers because everyones preferences and level of comfort is different. This may work better for you ruclips.net/video/LRmTMpZVoVc/видео.html
any iPhone with a lightning port, we're not aware of anyway to do that. With some headset models with a USB-C connection it may work on the newer iPhones with a USB-C port but we haven't tested this to confirm.
That's a hard question to answer without knowing any context. If you need a headset strictly for work calls/meetings, the XM5's aren't what we'd recommend. There's nuances to compatibility, connectivity and microphone quality depending on the device and software you need a headset to work with.
We've found the Tilde Pro is the best sounding mic we've tested. When in wired mode you get best mic quality with no background noise cancellation, and in wireless mode you don't get as good of mic quality but get very good noise cancellation ruclips.net/video/2y5tTOAzmUI/видео.html
Hi David, one isn't better then the other but we found the Evolve2 75 has a better microphone and for customers who like an on ear headset, and it's more lightweight so usually can be worn for longer periods of time. If the main goal is to block out as much noise as possible for what you hear and have a hybrid pair of headphones to also be used with music, the Evolve2 85 would be a better way.
@@djdroogie they do :) right here headsetadvisor.com/products/orosound-tilde-pro-premium-bluetooth-headset-with-anc-and-excellent-noise-cancelling-microphone Not Bose quality for music but definitely good enough for most.
If calls or meetings are important to you, we couldn't in good faith recommend Airpods. For personal use we'd definitely recommend Airpods, or any comparable brand/model over a business headset in most cases though.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and sorry to hear the mic isn't performing as needed. If this headset doesn't block out enough noise, it's hard to say what could possibly be better. You may want to consider adding noise canceling software like here krisp.ai/?ref=headsetadvisor
The other thing is that the flimsy mic boom eventually breaks... Annoying because robust mic booms have been around for decades. When the foam wears down you realise that there is a sharp plastic rim inside the pad which will be your new ear interface. I now have a Technics EAH-A800. Superior in every way, vastly so in music quality. Just need to wait for the loud colleagues voices to re-appear to give a firm verdict on calls.
@@SLPCaires Interesting! We haven't been hearing the same feedback for the most part. No headset is perfect of course, but sorry to hear it didn't work for you. We'd be shocked if the Technics EAH-A800 outperformed the Evolve2 85 in everyway, especially the mic quality/mic noise cancellation. Let us know what you find because if you say it performs better, we'll have to order one in to test it out. Another headset you may want to look at in the future is here ruclips.net/video/WKT_F75TtCc/видео.html
I have poly voyager focus 2 - it has tremendous delay, and the so called 'intelligence' that decides when to mute the mic is paranoiac. I'd be happy to sell it to someone willing.
@@HeadsetAdvisor I did, many times. I even contacted the support, twice. WOW. It is really a weird situation. You spend time on checking the market, you spend money. And you get mediocre produt. It is mediocre. Apart from being wireless IT HAS NO advantages over my previous plantronics USB wired headset.
Jabra Evolve2 75 is my worst headset i have ever tried so far. Not comfortable for longer sessions and the background noise is picked up by the microphone even with high suppression on.
Hi Marcus, thanks for sharing your thoughts! We have a couple ideas about helping fix the background noise being picked up. Want a couple of troubleshooting suggestions to try?
@@HeadsetAdvisor Yes i would love to hear some suggestions. My main program used daily is Microsoft Teams by the way. I have installed Jabra Direct. My boss is paying for our headsets and he says if i cant fix this he will buy a Sennheiser Adapt 660. If you have any comment about Sennheiser Adapt 660 i would appreciate that also
Not sure which market is showing $500 but within the US or Canada this should be around $350. That being said, what would be affordable to you for the average business? Maybe we can share some more affordable options.
I listened to this review and upgraded from evolve 75 to evolve2 75. Everyone thinks the microphone is worse, and I really regret listening to advice here. Very expensive headset, and low quality microphone.
Sorry we failed you, Tom 😔 we have a ton of customers using this headset and we haven't heard this same experience with everyone. Have you done any troubleshooting by chance? We'd be happy to hear more of your experience and try to get this working better for you.
I have problems with the mic., I have to close the mic then open it again after it connects to a call,then all is clear. Maybe design flaw... butthe mic is crystal clear if I close the mic so that its muted and reopen, it's like a reset., and all is good. Very annoying.
It's time to leave 1999 and get a Tilde Pro then! :) headsetadvisor.com/products/orosound-tilde-pro-premium-bluetooth-headset-with-anc-and-excellent-noise-cancelling-microphone
Dogs barking, blenders, and fan noises are completely irellevant for every day use. Can you PLEASE do a sound test for each headset in a context that's actually relevant for viewers? The title of this video is 'best headsets for work calls'. So, a review in an open office setting WORK environment, with lots of other people talking, would be perfect. tl;dr: Please do a mic test for each with other people talking in a busy office (most applicable to the most people!)
Work headsets are a bit more expensive which allow more features, more robust, durable, integrate with work applications and have great noise cancelling microphones.

Thanks for watching and sharing your feedback :)
Impressed by tilde pro. But I have to wait until they release their UC dongle/adapter.
The UC Dongle should be released this year, stay tuned.
Great channel - subscribed
Thank you 🙏
"If you're a software engineer .. and you have a lot of distractions around you" nailed me 100% (working from home with 2 children around) 😆
We hear it every day 😄
Nicely done! I'd pick the Orosound Tilde Pro and the Jabra Evolve2 75. I think they sound the best. Maybe the jabra sounded a little better.
Not a fan of on ear headphones. They don't seem to work well for me. I do have the Evolve2 65's. They sound amazing. I'd have to test the Orosund and the Evolve2 75.
Hi Damien, thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Amazing Video!!
I'm looking for a headset that can be paired with PC, iPad and iPhone simultaneosly.
Can Jabra be paired with multi devices?
Hi Helbert, you can pair to all 3 devices, but can only use two of them seamless at a time.
I'm going two years and 8 months on my Jabra Evolve 75 from 2020 working from home in a tech support call center style of use. So far so good. I thought the battery was dying but it could have been not fully seated in the charging cradle. Glad to know its still the top gun out there after all these years.
The Evolve 75 has definitely been a workhorse, keep that thing as long as it lasts! And, when the time comes for a replacement we'll be here 🙂
Believe it or not the OG Evolve 75 has better mic performance than just about anything out there, including the version 2, as evidenced by many videos out there comparing it.
Best channel i ever landed on about headset. 👍👍👍👍👍 Great test results
Wow, thanks!
Thanks for this comparison, awesome stuff. Voyager seems the be best overall package followed by Jabra 75. Dumb question but can the mic be changed to L side on Jabra?
Thanks for watching! Unfortunatley the mic is fixed on the right side, and can't be changed to the left side.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Thanks for the confirmation, which is a shame...this might tip the scale over for the Voyager.
@@levelwu Agreed. Wish Jabra found a way to choose which side you want the mic on.
Great video, thanks! Which one from this list don't need dongle? I’m a macbook user.
Hi Diogo, the Tilde Pro on this list doesn't require the use of a Dongle and we've heard works very good on Mac.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Thanks for reply!
@@HeadsetAdvisor Do you know the best budget on ear headset without need dongle? Tilde Pro is so expensive to me (I’m from Brazil).
Have the jabra evolve 75 and the latest Jabra evolve 2 75 and surprisingly the mic quality and sound on the evolve 75 is better. Evolve 2 75 looks stylish but does not have the same mic sound quality. Would like to hear your feedback
Hi Srikanth, that's a hard one for us to answer because both sounded good but we gave the slight edge to the Evolve2 75. Although the microphones are comparable, it's all around an upgrade to the Evolve 75.
You can't go wrong with either. If you don't need the improved ANC, mic noise cancellation, ability to hide the mic into the headset, longer battery and updated USB-C connection for charging, the Evolve 75 is still a good way to go if the price difference is significant.
Glad this video exist I sure needed help now that I work from home. I would love to be in my bed & run to a call instead of sitting on standby in one spot at home lol
lol laying in bed while on calls doesn't sound so bad 😄
Thank you for the great reviews, now I'm totally sold on the jabra evolve2 75 😂 and it has the beige color 🥲
You're welcome :) thanks for watching
kindly do a review on a budget friendly wireless headsets specially New Bee Bh58 headset.
Hello. I don’t know enough about headsets. My wife works at home, and the complaining is always the noise I make in the background. I understand that noise cancellation mode cancels the noise I make around her, but it doesn’t cancel it to the people how are listening to her. Does the microphone reduces the background noise to the people on the other side?
Great Review.. I just need to confirm the battery life of Jabra evolve2 65, if I turn off the busylight (because I'm not gonna need it) What's gonna be the talktime?
Hi LLoyd, you'll get up to 37 hours of battery.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Thanks for the info I'm torn between the evolve2 65 and evolve2 75, but the 24hours talk time of evolve2 75 is a big let down for me considering that it is new and pricier.
@@lloydlausa5314 That can be a tough one to choose between. The reason the battery isn’t as much is because you get the added feature of ANC in the speakers. Because of that it uses more power, but you really can’t go wrong either way.
Hi, I’m currently the evolve 20 for iPad video recordings on the way, not in a close room but usually on the way to work in a parking lot or just when I have a few spares minutes here and there .I love the sound,but looking for a more mobile way to do this, maybe bt set or other cordless set. The sound in the earphones doesn’t interests me at all, but can be a bonus. My only interest is in mic and great noise canceling, what are my options
Give the BH71 a look ruclips.net/video/I9Jcyv08fLc/видео.html
Fantastic review! I'd take the French Tilde.
The Tilde is sweet! Thanks for watching, Joshua.
Wow, what a great careful review. I have the SONY WH1000XM5 - surprised that it didn't make it onto this list - however here are my problems with that headset.
1) Heavy 8.8.
1.5) Tends to press in on my ears AND on the top of my head -can give me a serious headache by the end of the day. My work around for this works OK but looks ridiculous - a soft cloth padding all along the inside of the headset.
2) Turns off randomly at least once per shift. I work as a triage nurse so that is a serious problem.
3) Each time it turns off I have to reconnect it too and also reconnect it to my Citrix Jabber - time consuming.
I was thinking of getting a headphone that has a dongle or USB just to stop that kind of problem - would it be effective?
Thinking of the final 3 headsets, will consider.
Thanks
Jennie
Hi Jennie, thanks for sharing your thoughts. For work we definitely wouldn't recommend the XM5's. They're a great pair of headphones if you use them for music, personal use and some phone calls, but for a business headset this wouldn't be the best way for most that need a headset for work mainly.
OooRah! you are the first video audio I heard with my new wireless headset with dongle connection. I don't have bluetooth on old pc so I need a dongle. Thanks for being tested. 🙂
Thanks for watching!
Glad I came accross this video I'm planning to buy the Evolve 2 75. but it doesnt show anywhere if it is compatible with MAC?
It will work with Mac
I've been looking for a headset mic for some time now and while I understand the need for noise cancelation, what I don't understand is why there is a distinct walkie-talkie sound to headworn mics. Is this standard?
Hi Jack, from what we hear, it's a challenge for manufactures to make a microphone that's noise canceling while still giving the best mic sound quality. What do you think of the mic quality of the models at either link below?
ruclips.net/video/WKT_F75TtCc/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/LRmTMpZVoVc/видео.html
Both demos suffer from serious roll-off in the highs that kill presence. Plus there is a noticeable distortion. The camera mic and of course the Rode mic are much better, although the Rode would need some acoustic treatment in the room. However, they don't do well without noise cancellation. Would the Rode in a treated room running Krisp work better? I wonder.
I am only comparing the sound from a cheap headset, laptop, and phone speaker but the sound degradation is quite obvious in all three.
I enjoy walking around my neighborhood while talking on the phone. I'm on the phone a lot. This issue I'm having in a big way is the WIND. It blows hard and I can't go on walks while talking. I was hoping you could point me in the right direction as to the right headset so I can go on walks while talking and that would cancel out the noise for me sure but more for the person that I'm on the call with. If you could assist me here it would be much appreciated.
Hi Ryan, most models we can think of will have limitations in that regards. When wind is blowing directly on the microphone it's unavoidable to prevent the wind from fully being picked up. The best thing you can try is choosing either one of these headsets on the video and getting a microphone windscreen to help as best as possible.
The Opencomm UC seems like it would be a good model for you to consider.
Look at the Blue Parrot products. They’re aimed at truckers.
You should be able to order a headset mic fuzzy and attach it to the boom arm of any headset.
Between de Poly Focus 2 & Jabra Evolve2 65, which one do you recommend?. Similar prices.
hmm of those 2 I'd do the Focus 2. But I would recommend you take a look at the new Jabra Evolve2 55 (has ANC similar price to 65 lighter, more comfortable, and has a better noise cancelling mic) and the Evolve2 65 Flex 2 of our favorites right now. Check them out here: headsetadvisor.com/collections/jabra-wireless-headset
I need something like this, but in cheaper version, cause im tired of wireless gaming headset, can you recomend me something like this, light but wireless with dongle buuut very cheap

great video unfortonully Jabra headsets have many many issues. i was never able to charge my one and digging on the problem are many many people having the some issue. i have my jabra evolve2 75 for just three days. obviously i will not back to jabra
Sorry to hear that! Give the Tilde Pro a look as an alternative to consider ruclips.net/video/2y5tTOAzmUI/видео.html
If also wanted to use on airplane for noise canceling, which would you recommend. Also what is needed to be able to connect to hear movies on plane systems.
Hi Celia, which headset are you referring to?
@@HeadsetAdvisor considering between poly voyager 2 and the tilde pro.
@@celiad571 in that case the Tilde would be best and nothings needed to pair with your mobile phone, you would pair via Bluetooth. If the plane has a USB audio outlet the included USB cables all that’s needed. Or, if there’s only a 3.5mm port then you’d get this accessory for your Tilde headsetadvisor.com/products/orosound-tilde-pro-usb-c-to-3-5mm-cable
Thank you!
USB-A or USB-C means that the Dongle has that USB? or is it how do you connect via cable to pc?
USB-A and USB-C is only referring to the connectivity type of the USB dongle to your computer. There's no quality difference between the two versions.
I have the plantronics 5200 and it doesn't do well at blocking out my cats' meowing, or loading the dishwasher, I have complaints about those. but I like it's size, and I use it at work because i use my hands and get a lot of phone calls and need handsfree phone.
It would be awesome if it could block out all noises, but as you mentioned with the low size comes a bit of a sacrifice on the noise cancellation of the mic.
Any recommendations? Im looking for a headphone or earpiece that can connect multiple phone like 3 phone at a time.
Yes, there is one wireless headset that we're aware of that up to 5 headsets to connect to one phone. Please contact us for more info headsetadvisor.com/pages/contact-us
@@HeadsetAdvisor no.. I mean i need 1 earpiece or bone than can connect upto 3 phone .. So incase driving work phone & personal phone is connected if there's incoming call
@@garutay you need a splitter or something… that you can plug-in, it can charge, or put in some headphones there, or attach to a car audio cable..
its a bit sas that apparently you dont take in consideration how important gestures etc are. i really love i.e. folding away my microfone and being instantly muted, since i am traveling a lot and cant always use the buttons on my phone or pc
We could have definitely improved our video with these features. Thank you for helping us to improve in the future!
Which one do you prefer I work in a call center where they play loud music and I work with over 30 employees who are also on the phones making calls. They did provide us with gaming headphones which sucks because the audio is low and I find myself having to ask the client to repeat what they are saying because I can’t really hear what. They are sayings smh. Which one of these are noise canceling? And which one of these headphones can perform under loud noise music and people talking????
Which devices will you need a headset to connect to? From there we can provide a few best recommendations.
So - I have had 2 Jabra Evolve2 65 sent to me - the first one was DOA (dead on arrival) and the 2nd one has a short - the sound goes from let ear to right ear, then both, then none - then left...etc. when I touch the headset, it sounds like a short fuse. I am not impressed with Jabra to be honest. I was so excited to get my headset as I work remotely on a softphone. Was looking forward to bluetooth and the freedom of getting up from my desk while still on a call. Can you recommend another brand?
Hi Jocelyne, if we were in your same situation we’d feel the exact same way. That being said we sell a ton of these headsets and this is highly uncommon to have two defective like this in a row.
If you’re open to it we’d suggest requesting one more warranty replacement.
Otherwise feel free to consider another brand we’re hearing great feedback from customers ruclips.net/video/WKT_F75TtCc/видео.html

So which of these have mute for when speaking to customers?
Hi Oscar, all of these have a mute button
great but my pc doentt have bluetooth install how to get it working,please. thanks for number 4 ranked
Hi Regino, all of these include a USB Dongle so Bluetooth on your PC isn't needed.
i notice with a cable i get better sound and microphone quality find it difficult to find a wireless headset that sounds as good as wired one
Which wireless headsets have you tried? Usually any wireless model with the included USB dongle from the main brands will give you close to wired headset quality.
@@HeadsetAdvisor best ones ive found so far are steel series 7, theres HUHD, Zalmans none of those are a patch on the turtle beach 450 wired headset steel series is up there but still you can tell its running off a battery
Poly 5200 seems to always perform well against pretty much everything
Thanks for sharing your thoughts :) it's a good headset.
Where are the links and "In Depth Review" of each headset in the description?
Look for the “•••” which reveals the FULL Description for the Caption. It’s there, kinda tricky though.
You guys make the only reviews worth watching because you include mic tests.
Thank you for your support!
Why would you have to put a disclaimer at the start "not for gaming". Are they that different?
Yes, the nuances make a big difference. If your main need is gaming, these aren't the headsets to consider.
What headset doesn’t hurt your ears? I have the labra 65s and they still hurt my ears
That's a tough question to answers because everyones preferences and level of comfort is different. This may work better for you ruclips.net/video/LRmTMpZVoVc/видео.html
We have 19 dogs. Need that noise cancelling mic LOL
Tilde Pro is as good as it gets but not sure it will stand a chance against 19 dogs lol
How do you connect the usb to iPhones?
any iPhone with a lightning port, we're not aware of anyway to do that. With some headset models with a USB-C connection it may work on the newer iPhones with a USB-C port but we haven't tested this to confirm.
Must watch mic test on X2.0 speed. Best sh-t EVER:P
😁
Boom mic failed on my Evolve2 75 after a few months.
Sorry to hear that! Did you get it replaced under the warranty? Certainly not common from what we’re seeing.
@@HeadsetAdvisor contacting support today so hopefully they can help.
How would you place the Sony XM5?
That's a hard question to answer without knowing any context. If you need a headset strictly for work calls/meetings, the XM5's aren't what we'd recommend. There's nuances to compatibility, connectivity and microphone quality depending on the device and software you need a headset to work with.
@@HeadsetAdvisor for me the most important is cancel noise microphone
@@michaldekiert1525 which devices do you need to connect to?
Which of these headsets work with a ps4?
Hi Ronnie, we wouldn't be best to help here as these headsets are made for business use and we haven't tested them on a PS4.
I bet there’s a big market for this, as many online gamers want quality headsets. May be worth testing out soon.
I am looking for the best mic quality. which one is the best then?
We've found the Tilde Pro is the best sounding mic we've tested. When in wired mode you get best mic quality with no background noise cancellation, and in wireless mode you don't get as good of mic quality but get very good noise cancellation ruclips.net/video/2y5tTOAzmUI/видео.html
@@HeadsetAdvisor I am looking to use in wireless mode only. But under 100 dollars budget. Can you recommend something.

#1 is really good, but it is tooo big, bulky and heavy.
so #3 is the best for me.
Hi Vincent, thanks for sharing. Trying a new brand you haven't heard of before may pleasantly surprise you :)
Why is the Evolve 75 better than the 85?
the 75 is more lightweight I think that could be why?
Hi David, one isn't better then the other but we found the Evolve2 75 has a better microphone and for customers who like an on ear headset, and it's more lightweight so usually can be worn for longer periods of time. If the main goal is to block out as much noise as possible for what you hear and have a hybrid pair of headphones to also be used with music, the Evolve2 85 would be a better way.
@@HeadsetAdvisor hm, wonder why they don’t have one headset thats good at BOTH blocking outside noise for music and for calls? (And is over ear…)
:-/
@@djdroogie they do :) right here headsetadvisor.com/products/orosound-tilde-pro-premium-bluetooth-headset-with-anc-and-excellent-noise-cancelling-microphone
Not Bose quality for music but definitely good enough for most.
Jabra 75 WOOOOOW
😁
Curious where AirPods Pro fall out against this bunch
If calls or meetings are important to you, we couldn't in good faith recommend Airpods.
For personal use we'd definitely recommend Airpods, or any comparable brand/model over a business headset in most cases though.
Jabra sofware is AWFUL (2 85), I uninstall and use another usb receiver dongle... The microphone DOES NOT block background voices.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and sorry to hear the mic isn't performing as needed. If this headset doesn't block out enough noise, it's hard to say what could possibly be better. You may want to consider adding noise canceling software like here krisp.ai/?ref=headsetadvisor
The other thing is that the flimsy mic boom eventually breaks... Annoying because robust mic booms have been around for decades.
When the foam wears down you realise that there is a sharp plastic rim inside the pad which will be your new ear interface.
I now have a Technics EAH-A800. Superior in every way, vastly so in music quality. Just need to wait for the loud colleagues voices to re-appear to give a firm verdict on calls.
@@SLPCaires Interesting! We haven't been hearing the same feedback for the most part. No headset is perfect of course, but sorry to hear it didn't work for you. We'd be shocked if the Technics EAH-A800 outperformed the Evolve2 85 in everyway, especially the mic quality/mic noise cancellation. Let us know what you find because if you say it performs better, we'll have to order one in to test it out. Another headset you may want to look at in the future is here ruclips.net/video/WKT_F75TtCc/видео.html
I have poly voyager focus 2 - it has tremendous delay, and the so called 'intelligence' that decides when to mute the mic is paranoiac. I'd be happy to sell it to someone willing.
Hi Michal, have you tried a full reset and updating the firmware in the headset and the BT700 dongle?

I listened to this review and upgraded from evolve 75 to evolve2 75. Everyone thinks the microphone is worse, and I really regret listening to advice here.
Very expensive headset, and low quality microphone.

I have problems with the mic., I have to close the mic then open it again after it connects to a call,then all is clear.
Maybe design flaw... butthe mic is crystal clear if I close the mic so that its muted and reopen, it's like a reset., and all is good.
Very annoying.

Work headsets are a bit more expensive which allow more features, more robust, durable, integrate with work applications and have great noise cancelling microphones.
