For me the EPOS 1060 was a clear winner as the voice was more consistently clear no matter what was going on around you. The Jabra was clear but the voice was a little up and down as it dealt with differing background noises. Also, I purchased the Jabra 2 65 wireless back in October 2023 and its performance with a Windows 11 laptop was awful for the price so I returned it. The drivers may have improved in 2024 I guess.
Thank you for sharing this review, I've been looking to find the best suitable affordable noise canceling headphones. I'm a WFH mom, I'm glad I came across your video...❤
This was a great video. I don't think I could of followed it as well with out your CC on the screen so thanks for that also. I think the worst of the 4 were the old EPOS Impact then the 3rd was the EPOS Impact 1060. I would have to say my 2nd best was the Jabra, it just broke up a bit when you turned your head or the background got to loud. My number 1 was the Poly Focus2. It just seemed really good no mater which noise cancelation level it was on. I like it so much I decided to buy it well the USC-C version after viewing your video. Poly - Voyager Focus 2 UC USB-C Headset (Plantronics) - Bluetooth Dual-Ear (Stereo) Headset with Boom Mic for $160.
The epos sounds great! Have you tried the Orosound Tilde? I'm curious if if I should buy one of these headsets with included mic suppresion or use a software suppression like neep or Krisp. Maybe both? Do you usually use zoom/team voice isolation on with these? Thanks!
No haven't tried that one. Yes, I usually just keep noise suppression on high in zoom as I'm rarely trying to capture anything other than just my own voice.
All of these seems great for continuous casual noise. However, what about piercing breakthrough noise such as dog barking or crying babies? Im a WFH person and silencing these noises to who im talking about is my main concern. Any suggestions? Preferably one without over the head support
Your best bet is to use Zoom since it has the best noise cancellation at the communication platform level. In the link below you can even see how Zoom handled an ambulance siren in downtown tokyo with only simple earbuds. Piercing noises were all throughout the video -from people laughing to chairs screeching. You can listen and judge for yourself on how you think they each handled it. everythingcommunications.com/3-essential-tech-for-effective-remote-work/
The Jabra won’t let you use noice canceling and sidetone at the same time. So each time you want to use it in a loud environment you have to listen to the background noise which defeats the purpose….
Now sit closer to people talking instead of far…I have a set of these and regret buying them. In my experience the Jabra Evolve2 65 is just trash… it prioritizes everyone else’s voice over mine when using it.
I work from a bus and metro for two hours every day. Thank you for the video.
you're very welcome. Let us know what equipment you go with.
Definitely have to review the ne Orosound Evo

The jabra’s seem to cut off or trim the spoken words too aggressively in my opinion. Epos sound best to me 🧐
yes, the EPOS 1060 is quite excellent.

hmmm, interesting. I didn't realize that. thanks for sharing!
For my ears, EPOS Impact 1000 clearly perform best
yes, an excellent choice!

the people on my right could not have been much closer to me. Neither could the people who often stood right in front of me waiting for their food.
It sounding really bad 😂 its like there's water in your throat
not sure what you mean by "it", but yes the audio quality and clarity suffers with the heavy background sounds and based on the device.
one worse than the other.
