I'd like to thank this channel and for this review Because after it, I bought Jabra Evolve 2 65 flex and I'm really happy about it. It's completely comfortable, the battery stays for very long and many times I heard people saying: the audio is very good and: your voice is very clear. I also asked if they could hear the background noise and they said no. So the noise cancellation works very well. I spoke in lower voice on purpose to know if the other person would hear me and he really did. For those who have hybrid job I recommend 100%. The noise cancelling is not like Bose or Sony but the purpose of this one is not to be like them in this functionality. But still, during the call it blocks pretty well doing a great job. It's a pity for this channel to not have more likes cause the job they are doing is amazing and really professional. I don't get anything from them but would like to congratulate them for this job.
Hi Eric, thanks for your kind words! Feedback like yours reminds us why we do what we do. It takes time to grow and we don't plan to stop creating these type of videos anytime soon.
Have you encountered any issues with the mic? How has it been holding up so far? Also do you use this on MS Teams? The complaints from people about its mic are holding me back from buying it.
Great review. Covered all and more than what I was looking for. I had used Jabra evolve 2 65 (not the flex) but what I didn't like is that it didn't have anc or hear thru. The passive noise cancelling meant there was constant muff around my ears and I didn't feel comfortable speaking. Planning to get this for the ANC feature and boy I was happy to see your video being recommended in YT. Really nailed it and can't wait to see it myself.
Evolve 2 65 has 'sidetone' option in app settings. It plays your voice back, so you can hear yourself when you are talking. May be it will help you a little
Thanks, found this channel while doing a deep dive into a new office headset, I have a hybrid work model and a hot-desk office, so I have to bring a headset with me every day I need to be in the office, and I really loathe anything bulky or large - I have a small head and any large headset wouldn't fit into my laptop bag. This seems to be the perfect solution. I was considering the ear buds but in the end I prefer headsets, so if there is anything else as light and compact, please let us know. Love these vids, very detailed and thorough!
I will wait for more long-term feedback of this unit. I use the Jabra Evolve2 75, and a big issue has been the hardware quality of the boom mic. With frequent usage, moving the mic up and down leads to crackling sounds and eventual outright failure of the boom mic. My unit has undergone 2 warranty replacements for this issue. I suspect the wire connected between the boom mic and the rest of the headset frays or gets damaged over time. I hope Jabra made the Evolve2 65 Flex boom mic more robust.
Thanks for the review, I had the evolve 2 85 and they stopped working just before the two years warranty. People could not hear me, I think the microphone stopped working. I am going to try this one
Thanks for the review! To me it seems like the same issues persists as with the evolve2 75: the boom mic cuts your voice off in loud environments. Still not sure whether it’s a firmware issue or due to hardware (either short boom mic or cable issue). what are your thoughts on this? Too bad was looking forward to get my hands on a compatible work/leisure headset!
I agree, sounds like the same issue. I'm sticking with the old Jabra Evolve 75 till they sort out the mic issues on the newer models. I thought the shorter mic length might be the issue, but the Shokz Opencomm has a similar length mic without these digital issues.
Hi, you’ve made a few “Shorts” showing this mic blocks out crying babies. However, I’m this video it didn’t do a great job. Could you help me understand why they are different?
Hey. Thank you for very infotmative review. I want to ask you for one more thing, which maybe I've missed. What is the experience as a listener with noise canceling? When you just listen to music or any other podcast etc. when the mic is up (off)? We can hear from your test, being receivers if the call that it is great. But what sound quality - noise canceling - is when not on call and just listening. Thx.
I saw many reviewing videos from you. To me this is the best wireless option for a hybrid work. Is there any other that is so light, small and with good mic noise cancelation?
I managed to demo this unit for a week. It does sound great (both listening and speaking) - better than the Engage 50 and 65 which I use regularly. Unfortunately the deal breaker for me was the tightness of the headband. The clamping force is much stronger than the Engage line and also the old Evolve 65. I wear large sized hats and helmets and the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex is just too tight/stiff and gives me headaches after just an hour's use. Any recommendations of similar performance but more suitable for larger heads?
Why does your description for the flex the same as my evolve2 65? 2 yrs in, my evolve2 65 is still as uncomfortable as day 1. David say the flex is insanely comfortable. Who's telling the truth.
I don't think that is truly the case. On reddit, many are complaining about evolve2 65 comfort level. It feels to me this headset advisor channel have different agenda and masking the truth about how comfortable these headsets are. I'm beginning to shun away from this channel.
If you still have the evolve2 65 or flex try bending the middle of the headband to reduce the clamping force there’s a balance if you have no clamping force then you won’t have good noise cancellation and sound won’t be as good. Curious to hear if you bend the middle of the headband outwards a bit if that helps.
In regards to the comfort is different on the evolve2 65 flex the 65 is a bit bulkier and I think it has more clamping force. But the cushions on the flex is really soft and comfortable.
Thank you for the good video. I cannot find other channels with the deeper review like this one. But I can't find the Jabra Evolve2 65 flex on your website
Thanks for watching. Here's a link headsetadvisor.com/products/jabra-evolve2-65-flex-uc-dual-speaker-wireless-bluetooth-headset?_pos=1&_sid=47c5ed6b3&_ss=r
Hi Dave, Excellent videos keep up the good work. After watching the video the evolve2 65 flex checked all my boxes but the reality is that I will return the headset back as the experience was not the expected. ANC checked! Modern sleek design check! Foldable bonus check! Wireless charging extra bonus check! However while I was coding and listening to music,with the ANC at the highest level, I was still able hear my colleagues talking in the background and losing my concentration. I had to boost the music volume at the highest level which means that it was unconfortable for me and for my colleagues as they were able to hear my loud music from the not over-ear headphones. Can you advise the best alternative for an over-ear office headset? Chris
Thanks for your feedback! And the performance sounds about right as the ANC helps but isn't going to give the most noise reduction you can get. An over-ear headset is definitely the way to go here and the top two would be the Orosound Tilde Pro or the Jabra Evolve2 85.
Both will be comparable in regards to mic noise cancellation. I don't think you'll notice a night and day difference between either. The best combo though is a good quality headset with neep.com noise canceling software
Been waiting for this review, thanks! What did you think of the ANC + sidetone combo: did it do a good job isolating your voice as sidetone feedback in a loud environment?
Hi Ben, David said the ANC is decent and the sidetone is nice to help talk more naturally. If you’re in a moderately loud environment it would be fine.
This headset has an issue with mic noise cancellation.. or maybe it is the short mic boom... People have told me that they "loose" me at times becuase my voice cuts out, and I have seen it happening in reviews as well... It hope it is just a software issue... Not happy so far with them..
Thanks! @@HeadsetAdvisor. I do have the latest firmware from July. Unfortunately, the cadence of firmware updates from Jabra is very low so hopefully this will be fixed in 6 months or so.. that was the case with another issue that I had with the Engage 55..I have not contacted support but I will at some point if this is not resolved in the next update. Thanks!!
I'm having the same issue, people are telling me my voice is cutting out often and I have to move the mic closer to my mouth, but that makes it really uncomfortable since the headset will be covering half my ear. I've contacted Jabra Support and they suggested to reset the headset. I'm on the latest firmware and even after doing the reset, I'm still having the issue. They suggested that I should get a replacement, so now I'm in the middle of that process. During your Mic test with Office background noise, you can hear how your voice is cutting when you start talking
Hi @@rodrigoberruezo5356. I just got mine replaced.. it seems that it reduced the issue but ocassionally people tell me again that I am cutting out. Please let me know how it goes with your replacement..
Would you do a comparison video of different Evolve2 headsets... specially with Evolve2 65 normal and Evolve2 75...also is the headphone will charge with any Qi certified wireless charger?...and does the headphone work with boom mic up?
Give this video a look ruclips.net/video/bYJya_Bl-Ck/видео.html we may do an updated video like this with the new series or a comparison to the previous series.
@@HeadsetAdvisor i am looking for a comparison between jabra Evolve2 65 flex and other jabra Evolve2 headsets. But does jabra Evolve2 65 flex work with boom mic up? Its not clear from your review..
@@HeadsetAdvisor I asked this question in multiple forums...but looks like no one is willing to show up, how is the call quality with boom mic up...I saw many of your other jabra review videos include this detail....but surprisingly this video is missing this detail....I am still in dilemma, if I should buy this headset or not...I hope you can do a RUclips shorts on this....
I am really intrigued by the slimness and portability. I am a bit nervous about some of the reviews I have seen saying that the mic essentially thinks your voice is background noise and cutting out audio on MS Teams. Did you experience that at all? I am trying to decide between this and the Dell WL5024.
We've found the microphone to work well on the Evolve2 65 Flex. Within Teams there's a setting called "noise supression", you may need to turn this off or turn it to the lowest setting if the microphone isn't picking up your voice properly. Reviews online can sometimes be misleading because in many cases quick troubleshooting can resolve most headset issues and have it working like it should.
What is the best professional headstet with ANC on the market? This one is not comparable por example with the personal Bose Quiet Confort 45 regarding ANC
It all depends on your specific needs but for a work setting the Evolve2 75. We haven't heard any word on the firmware update but it seems only some are facing the mic issue on the Evolve2 75.
@@HeadsetAdvisor ok thanks.. one more thing, i did saw in one of the video for Jabra Evolve 2 55 that the boom mic does not rotates both ways. Can you share some info here please?
Thanks for the great review! I've been hearing that 2.4 or 5 ghz is going to be more consistent than Bluetooth. That is the only thing holding me back from buying. What's your opinion?
Thanks for your feedback :) As long as you connect with the included USB Dongle to your computer, Bluetooth is fine. The problem that happens is customers connect a Bluetooth headset to their computer via Bluetooth instead of the Dongle, that's when it can be unreliable.
I have this headset it's just amazing for calls, my only wish is that there was something like this but over-ear instead of on-ear, I know there are the 85, but they're quite old now, the mic is not that great... er I guess I mean more the firmware... I guess something both good for music AND great for calls, specailly blocking out co-work noise. Lookign forward to try your sofftware with standard headphones like the momentum :D
Idk it seems like every new headset Jabra comes out with is the best no matter what the tier level is. I know they are all a little bit different but I’ve read that the evolve2 75 and 85 have bad mic quality because of a hardware design. Did the 65 flex fix that? My company will pay for any Jabra or poly headset and I want something with good ANC but it feels like because the mic problems I have to go with the 65 flex but probably doesn’t have better ANC so is there not a Jabra headset out there that has great ANC, sound for listen to music with 40mm driver, and also a good mic? What headset would you recommend? Criteria is any poly or Jabra with good mic quality for zoom/ teams about 2 hours a day but also good ANC/ music for working and focusing. I was thing about the Focus 2 but it’s an older headset.
Anyone able to advise if an AUX to USB-C cable would work (use on a flight)? I asked Jabra, they advised you can play audio over a USB-A/USB-C to USB-C cable. Thye were not able to advise if an AUX to USB-C cable would play audio.
Hi, which is the best headphones to take zoom and teams call in a noisy work environment? Especially when everyone around you is taking calls and their voices end up gettint cross overed to your calls? All leads will be appreciated. I've been so confused looking through the videos. 😢
Yes it can get confusing even for me 😂 email our team info@headsetadvisor.com we have some questions to run through and we can make the best recommendation.
Your best bet is to use neep.com noise canceling software with any headset of your choice. And the Jabra Evolve2 55 and Epos Impact 1000 are a couple best headsets you can get for your type of environment.
Hello, thank you for the great review. I purchased this for all day phone calls with customers. I tested out but my friend said she was able to hear my background noise when I used this headset for incoming calls, how come noise suppression didn’t work? Please advise. Thanks
@@HeadsetAdvisor iPhone 13 and I am only using it for phone calls coming in thru my phone, not TEAMs or other features.. Is that background canceling means, I can't hear anything? Or other person on the other line? Because when I activate ANC feature of course no background noise I can hear.. but when I call someone, they can hear my background...does make sense?
@@minchoi6535 ANC refers to the speakers and what you hear, not your microphone. On your iPhone look into enabling voice isolation support.apple.com/en-us/101993
@@HeadsetAdvisor wow!!! You are a GENIUS! I just switched iPhone phone control from standard to voice isolation and tested.. my friend said she couldn't hear any background noise& music. Wow.!!! Ty ty ty.
Hi, Is this better than the Orosound? I have been contemplating between Evolve 2 65 flex & Orosound and came across this review. Which would you prefer for someone who takes on online meetings approximately 3-4 hours a day (normally at home, but from time to time outside).
Both are top tier headsets so you can't go wrong either way. The Tilde Pro in our opinion will have a better microphone and the added flexibility to switch between over-ear or on-ear cushions if your preferences change in the future.
When you use the USB-A cord with this headset does it then become a "wired" headset? ie the audio and mic run through the cord rather than bluetooth? I like the option to use wired in addition to wireless.
Hi Vinod, neither is superior to the other. Which model you'd choose is based on your specific requirements. However, if microphone quality is most important, we found the Evolve2 65 Flex performs better than the Evolve2 85 in this area.
Hi Markus, we haven't heard any word of a replacement to the Evolve2 85 as of yet. Give the Orosound Tilde Pro a look ruclips.net/video/2y5tTOAzmUI/видео.html
So im having an issue with my keyboard noises and other sounds bleeding into my microphone, are you using some other software or special settings because I dont think anything ive tried has worked to cancel that sound out on my microphone
Are you using this headset? Make sure you're using the USB Dongle when connected to the computer. If you're on Windows, look into disabling a setting called "intel smart sound USB audio" and "intel smart sound USB audio" You can also consider adding neep.com noise canceling software.
I have the evolve2 85. How can this noise cancelation be so much better on the 65?? My evolve2 85 blocks no open office or barking dogs at all. I use it with Android(Bluetooth) and Linux (dongle). Both doesn't block anything
@@HeadsetAdvisor sure! I mean its completely useless, and its sold as an office headset 🙃 What headsets can you recommend with the best noise cancelling and that also can hide the boom mic? :) Thanks for high quality content!
@@sliddjur The headset in this video should work better in regards to the mic noise cancellation, and is good to consider. Or give the Orosound Tilde Pro a look ruclips.net/video/2y5tTOAzmUI/видео.html
@@arturo5050 the dongle is only when connecting to your computer. Bluetooth to the computer for any headset causes degraded audio, not as reliable of a connection, less wireless range and no advanced capabilities. So, it’s highly recommended to use the USB dongle for connection with your computer.
I really would love to buy this as I need a reliable headset that is wireless and lightweight as I need to use it everyday for around 3-4 hours on MS Teams. The problem is some people are complaining about the mic not functioning properly. For its price this should not be an issue. Also, Jabra told me that they don’t have ear cushions available for me to buy locally. What alternatives can you offer?
There are some reports of customers having microphone issues but not nearly as common compared to the Evolve2 75. We're not aware of any alternative ear cushions that could be provided to you as well unfortunately.
I'm having this same issue and it's incredibly frustrating, as I love this headset otherwise. I'm swapping it out for another and crossing my fingers that the new one doesn't have the same mic issue.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Thanks for that. Unfortunately, I'm already running the latest firmware and only using it over Bluetooth with my phone (as opposed to software on my PC), so I'm hoping this one's just defective. We shall see.
@@HeadsetAdvisor It doesn‘t. When connected to my iPhone or MacBook Pro (built in BT) the sidetone only works at 30% of all calls. It’s buggy. Jabra has the worst qc. It‘s unbelievable.
I need an honest opinion about this. I’m in between getting this headset or the Evolve 2 ear bud or Elite Pro. I’ve been using the JABRA ENGAGE 65 for 2 years now and i’ve notice that I’ve been moving the headset over and over. It makes my ears feels hot and my #1 issue is I wear eye glasses. I kept on adjusting my glasses coz it hurts the side of my ears. Now, I work at home and normally I am in my own room and no noise. I wanted to know in your honest opinion if I should use the Elite 10 over the Evolve 2 earbud. I’m tempted with the Flex 65, but my concerns are the tightness and also my issues for years which makes my ears feels hot and my eye glasses.
The Evolve2 65 flex will be superior in every way for your needs, but one other to consider that I think would meet your needs even better is here headsetadvisor.com/products/shokz-opencomm2-stereo-bone-conduction-bluetooth-headset?_pos=1&_sid=30c9f6363&_ss=r&variant=43680631488727
If I plug these via plug to my PC, will it automatically charge the headset? I don’t want to kill the battery, but my scenario with work, I need a physical wire, but can use Bluetooth to connect to my iPhone. Paying this much, I don’t want to deplete the battery on days where I spend 8 hours on the phone and be physically connected to my PC.
Hi, I have a Jabra evolve2 65 flex, I use it on my Macbook, but during meetings everyone complains that my voice is robotic or counting, so I can't follow the meeting. I've tried several things and nothing has resolved it, has anyone experienced this and managed to resolve it?
I had Jabra evolve 2 75 and 85 and their nose canceling was absolutely horrible. will this one allow me to turn off the noise canceling so I can use iOS or krips noise cancelling
Thank you for the brilliant eview of the Jabra Evolve 2 65 Flex I have a few questions: 1) Whats the difference between USB A and USB C? 2) Is it better to get the UC version so that you can integrate with MS Teams and Zoom as well Google meeting? 3) If I go with the MS Teams version which my enterprise onine conference call app , can I integrate with all other online app such as Zoom and Google meet?
Thank you! 1) usb a has a usb a type usb Bluetooth adapter and usb c has a usb-c type Bluetooth adapter so just depends on how you want to connect to PC. 2) just depends do you use zoom and google often? If so yes 3) yes it still will integrate with zoom and meet however it will always prioritize teams so if that’s not your primary software it could get a little annoying
Yes the MS version works on any other software however if you press the answer button or teams buttons they will always default to teams which can be annoying if your in other apps often.
It depends. If your currently satisfied with the performance I’d say stick with the original. But in my opinion the flex is more comfortable, has better mic, design is sleeker, has anc to block more noise, has the added ability to fold for easier transportation. Currently we have a promo to upgrade your headset you can get up to $40 trade in credit if you are interested in upgrading email us info@headsetadvisor.com
Hi I recently got one and immediately had issues with Teams as my coworkers tell me my voice keeps dropping off. Seems to only happen in Teams. I have a Teams certified one. When I searched online, it seems to be common complaint. Are you aware of this issue?
Within Teams there's a setting called noise suppression. Turn this off or turn it to the lowest setting to see if that helps. Also, if you're on Windows go to Start Menu > Device Manager > sound and video game controllers > If you have any settings referring to "Intel Smart Sound Technology" disable them all, restart your computer and see if this is any better for you. Lastly, download Jabra Direct and see if there's any firmware updates available and make sure you connect to your computer with the included USB Dongle.
Any earbuds we’d recommend will disappoint in microphone quality. Whether it’s the microphone sound or microphone noise cancellation. How important is mic quality to you?
The easy answer is the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex headsetadvisor.com/products/jabra-evolve2-65-flex-uc-dual-speaker-wireless-bluetooth-headset?_pos=1&_sid=ada5a9aa8&_ss=r
Both headsets are in two different categories so we don't have any plans for this video at the current time. That being said, the Evolve2 65 Flex is Bluetooth and best for mobile phone + computer, whereas the Engage 65 is DECT and is best for your desk phones and computers. The Engage 65 also requires the charging base for the headset to work, so it isn't as portable if you're in a scenario where you need to take your headset with you on the go for computer use. Usually customers would order the Engage 65 over the Evolve2 65 Flex if you connect with a desk phone, or if you're in an office/home work environment where you need the longest wireless range possible.
That’s a good question. My initial thoughts were I felt like the evolve2 65 Flex is better but early preliminary results from our blind headset mic poll 2023 suggests evolve2 55 may be better probably because it has a longer boom arm. You can check out the voting app we built here vote.headsetadvisor.com
All models mentioned are in different classes so it’s very hard to answer the comfort question as it’s very subjective, and all 3 are made for different needs. The build quality and mic/noise cancellation is very good on all three. Depending on your use case would determine which to go with. For example if you were working in a loud office or coffee shop, the Tilde Pro or Flex would be a better way to go.
Depends on the situation the 85 mic doesn’t do good noise cancellation but it will have the best anc and speakers for me I want more mic cancellation so I’d go evolve 65 flex over 85 but if mic doesn’t matter as much then 85
Thanks for the great review. But a question: how comfortable is the headset when worn for long periods with glasses, as a lot of people wear glasses while working?
It's a hard question to fully answer because peoples answers will differ but I'd say the majority will find it comfortable for long periods. It's extremely lightweight!
The Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex is not waterproof, but it is IP54 splash-resistant. This means that it can withstand light splashes of water, such as from rain or sweat.
The most important thing for me is to connect it to both my phone and laptop (for Teams and Zoom). I want to use it for sports, but most importantly, when I have a lot of background noise, like in a store, gym, outdoors, or at home with the TV on, I want people in my meetings or on the phone to not hear the background noise. Is this one suitable for this purpose or the Yealink BH 72?
I'm just after testing these headset for the first time. I must say I'm quite disappointed. Cons: - Firstly, they slip of your head so easily. If working at the desk, looking straight at your screens it's not an issue. But as soon as I look at my phone (tilting head down) they slip towards the forehead. Noone seems to be mentioning this but it's quite an irritating aspect. - Having the need to use Jabra Link 380 USB dongle is quite a limitation. Another port used on the laptop. Using it with built-in laptop bluetooth limits functionalities. - I have UC version (according to the model number) but I still have Microsoft Teams icon on the right headphone button. Confusing. - Volume control on the side (the + and - ) is not changing volume if the sound isn't playing. Minor thing, but this was not the case on other headphones. You could change volume anytime you wanted. Also, each press i hear the voice 'Battery medium, two devices connected' but that's not doing anything else. Again, that press is not doing anything (not changing volume). - Tilting microphone to mute or unmute is not practical. Tapping on a side would be better. - My colleague couldn't tell quality difference through teams between these and Plantronics C3210 in terms of pure audio quality (not talking about noise elimination). Pros: - Connects to both laptop and phone like a charm. Prioritizes devices as expected (intuitive). - Comfortable, as long as you don't tilt your head. - Folds nicely and is quite portable to carry. Unfortunately, I am returning mines.

@@AungMyat-yj1eo maybe more than Sony XM4 but not the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex. Airpods or XM4 won't compare to this Jabra headset for calls and meetings.

I'd like to thank this channel and for this review Because after it, I bought Jabra Evolve 2 65 flex and I'm really happy about it. It's completely comfortable, the battery stays for very long and many times I heard people saying: the audio is very good and: your voice is very clear. I also asked if they could hear the background noise and they said no. So the noise cancellation works very well. I spoke in lower voice on purpose to know if the other person would hear me and he really did. For those who have hybrid job I recommend 100%. The noise cancelling is not like Bose or Sony but the purpose of this one is not to be like them in this functionality. But still, during the call it blocks pretty well doing a great job. It's a pity for this channel to not have more likes cause the job they are doing is amazing and really professional. I don't get anything from them but would like to congratulate them for this job.

Hi Gabriela, everything you mentioned, the Evolve2 65 Flex would fit perfect for you. Thank you for your support!
I will wait for more long-term feedback of this unit. I use the Jabra Evolve2 75, and a big issue has been the hardware quality of the boom mic. With frequent usage, moving the mic up and down leads to crackling sounds and eventual outright failure of the boom mic. My unit has undergone 2 warranty replacements for this issue. I suspect the wire connected between the boom mic and the rest of the headset frays or gets damaged over time. I hope Jabra made the Evolve2 65 Flex boom mic more robust.
It has the same microphone design so we hope so too.
Any update on this on your end?
Me too. I've owned Evolve 2 75 and did 2 time replacement and end up with the same issue.
Something for women to consider: more hinges = more places for your hair to be caught in and pulled out
Fair point!
Indeed! But mine gets caught just about every time I need to put my headset on quickly! So annoying.
Hands down the best review of headsets and active noice cancellation.
Thank you 🙏
Thanks for the review, I had the evolve 2 85 and they stopped working just before the two years warranty.
People could not hear me, I think the microphone stopped working.

Thanks for watching, glad we could help :)
Thanks for the review! To me it seems like the same issues persists as with the evolve2 75: the boom mic cuts your voice off in loud environments.
Still not sure whether it’s a firmware issue or due to hardware (either short boom mic or cable issue). what are your thoughts on this?
Too bad was looking forward to get my hands on a compatible work/leisure headset!
We're still not a 100% sure. It doesn't happen all the time so hopefully Jabra can find the final solution.
I agree, sounds like the same issue. I'm sticking with the old Jabra Evolve 75 till they sort out the mic issues on the newer models. I thought the shorter mic length might be the issue, but the Shokz Opencomm has a similar length mic without these digital issues.
I was about to comment regarding this exact issue. It’s a nice headset.
Hi, you’ve made a few “Shorts” showing this mic blocks out crying babies. However, I’m this video it didn’t do a great job. Could you help me understand why they are different?
Great video. Great mic quality, but I think Evolve2 75 was a bit better in the mic part.
Thanks for your feedback :)
Hey. Thank you for very infotmative review. I want to ask you for one more thing, which maybe I've missed. What is the experience as a listener with noise canceling? When you just listen to music or any other podcast etc. when the mic is up (off)? We can hear from your test, being receivers if the call that it is great. But what sound quality - noise canceling - is when not on call and just listening. Thx.
Noise canceling works well for what it’s intended for but don’t expect Bose type noise canceling in the speakers for example.
I saw many reviewing videos from you. To me this is the best wireless option for a hybrid work. Is there any other that is so light, small and with good mic noise cancelation?
Hi Thiago, thanks for watching our videos. This Jabra model is one of a kind but we'd imagine there will be more comparables in the near future.
This thing is awesome. Nothing like it. I can make a call while doing anything now, practically. Making coffee, whatever.
Thanks for watching!
Really? How come my friend said she was hearing all my back ground noise while I was using this headset to call her? Is it my setting?
That is a pure lecture man!
A masterclass!
@@HeadsetAdvisor a masterpiece man!
Which one would you recommend over? Evolve 2 65 Flex vs Orosound tilde pro
I managed to demo this unit for a week. It does sound great (both listening and speaking) - better than the Engage 50 and 65 which I use regularly. Unfortunately the deal breaker for me was the tightness of the headband. The clamping force is much stronger than the Engage line and also the old Evolve 65. I wear large sized hats and helmets and the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex is just too tight/stiff and gives me headaches after just an hour's use.
Any recommendations of similar performance but more suitable for larger heads?
Why does your description for the flex the same as my evolve2 65? 2 yrs in, my evolve2 65 is still as uncomfortable as day 1. David say the flex is insanely comfortable. Who's telling the truth.
@@waterbubbler44 It just boils down to the size of our heads. I can imagine it is comfortable for people whose heads are not as wide.
I don't think that is truly the case. On reddit, many are complaining about evolve2 65 comfort level. It feels to me this headset advisor channel have different agenda and masking the truth about how comfortable these headsets are. I'm beginning to shun away from this channel.
If you still have the evolve2 65 or flex try bending the middle of the headband to reduce the clamping force there’s a balance if you have no clamping force then you won’t have good noise cancellation and sound won’t be as good. Curious to hear if you bend the middle of the headband outwards a bit if that helps.
In regards to the comfort is different on the evolve2 65 flex the 65 is a bit bulkier and I think it has more clamping force. But the cushions on the flex is really soft and comfortable.
Thank you for the good video. I cannot find other channels with the deeper review like this one.
But I can't find the Jabra Evolve2 65 flex on your website

Hi Dave,
Excellent videos keep up the good work.
After watching the video the evolve2 65 flex checked all my boxes but the reality is that I will return the headset back as the experience was not the expected. ANC checked! Modern sleek design check! Foldable bonus check! Wireless charging extra bonus check!
However while I was coding and listening to music,with the ANC at the highest level, I was still able hear my colleagues talking in the background and losing my concentration. I had to boost the music volume at the highest level which means that it was unconfortable for me and for my colleagues as they were able to hear my loud music from the not over-ear headphones.
Can you advise the best alternative for an over-ear office headset?
Chris
Thanks for your feedback! And the performance sounds about right as the ANC helps but isn't going to give the most noise reduction you can get. An over-ear headset is definitely the way to go here and the top two would be the Orosound Tilde Pro or the Jabra Evolve2 85.
if compare evolve2 65 flex with older evolve 75, would you recomend to upgrade? (mic anc in first priority) both look very similar from spec
Both will be comparable in regards to mic noise cancellation. I don't think you'll notice a night and day difference between either. The best combo though is a good quality headset with neep.com noise canceling software
Great review, thanks
You're welcome and thanks for watching :)
Been waiting for this review, thanks! What did you think of the ANC + sidetone combo: did it do a good job isolating your voice as sidetone feedback in a loud environment?
Hi Ben, David said the ANC is decent and the sidetone is nice to help talk more naturally. If you’re in a moderately loud environment it would be fine.
This headset has an issue with mic noise cancellation.. or maybe it is the short mic boom... People have told me that they "loose" me at times becuase my voice cuts out, and I have seen it happening in reviews as well... It hope it is just a software issue... Not happy so far with them..
Have you tried a firmware update or have you contacted Jabra for tech support? This shouldn't be happening.
Thanks! @@HeadsetAdvisor. I do have the latest firmware from July. Unfortunately, the cadence of firmware updates from Jabra is very low so hopefully this will be fixed in 6 months or so.. that was the case with another issue that I had with the Engage 55..I have not contacted support but I will at some point if this is not resolved in the next update. Thanks!!
I'm having the same issue, people are telling me my voice is cutting out often and I have to move the mic closer to my mouth, but that makes it really uncomfortable since the headset will be covering half my ear. I've contacted Jabra Support and they suggested to reset the headset. I'm on the latest firmware and even after doing the reset, I'm still having the issue. They suggested that I should get a replacement, so now I'm in the middle of that process.
During your Mic test with Office background noise, you can hear how your voice is cutting when you start talking
Hi @@rodrigoberruezo5356. I just got mine replaced.. it seems that it reduced the issue but ocassionally people tell me again that I am cutting out. Please let me know how it goes with your replacement..
Would you do a comparison video of different Evolve2 headsets... specially with Evolve2 65 normal and Evolve2 75...also is the headphone will charge with any Qi certified wireless charger?...and does the headphone work with boom mic up?

Give this video a look ruclips.net/video/i_3Vf-OPww0/видео.html
Awesome video. Thank you very much for that.
I am really intrigued by the slimness and portability. I am a bit nervous about some of the reviews I have seen saying that the mic essentially thinks your voice is background noise and cutting out audio on MS Teams. Did you experience that at all? I am trying to decide between this and the Dell WL5024.
We've found the microphone to work well on the Evolve2 65 Flex. Within Teams there's a setting called "noise supression", you may need to turn this off or turn it to the lowest setting if the microphone isn't picking up your voice properly.
Reviews online can sometimes be misleading because in many cases quick troubleshooting can resolve most headset issues and have it working like it should.
What is the best professional headstet with ANC on the market? This one is not comparable por example with the personal Bose Quiet Confort 45 regarding ANC
Orosound Tilde Pro, Jabra Evolve2 85, or get any headphones of your choice and add neep.com noise canceling software
Hi which would you recommend the Jabra Evolve2 75 or the Sony wh1000xm5?
Did they fix the Evolve2 75 with the latest firmware update late last year?
It all depends on your specific needs but for a work setting the Evolve2 75. We haven't heard any word on the firmware update but it seems only some are facing the mic issue on the Evolve2 75.
The boom mic is on the left side or right side? Also does it rotates both ways or only one way like the Evolve 2 55?
The mic is worn on the right side and can't be rotated both ways like the Evolve2 55.
@@HeadsetAdvisor ok thanks.. one more thing, i did saw in one of the video for Jabra Evolve 2 55 that the boom mic does not rotates both ways. Can you share some info here please?
@@viralmistry6349 the Evolve2 55 rotates both ways
@@HeadsetAdvisor ok.. I'm talking about the stereo version and not the mono version. So can you reconfirm my questions?
@@viralmistry6349 For the Evolve2 55 whether it's mono or duo the mic can be worn on the left or right.
Thanks for the great review! I've been hearing that 2.4 or 5 ghz is going to be more consistent than Bluetooth. That is the only thing holding me back from buying. What's your opinion?
Thanks for your feedback :) As long as you connect with the included USB Dongle to your computer, Bluetooth is fine. The problem that happens is customers connect a Bluetooth headset to their computer via Bluetooth instead of the Dongle, that's when it can be unreliable.
@@HeadsetAdvisor appreciate the insight!
I have this headset it's just amazing for calls, my only wish is that there was something like this but over-ear instead of on-ear, I know there are the 85, but they're quite old now, the mic is not that great... er I guess I mean more the firmware... I guess something both good for music AND great for calls, specailly blocking out co-work noise. Lookign forward to try your sofftware with standard headphones like the momentum :D
Good news is there's a number of new models coming soon this year that will be over-ear, so you'll have more options to choose from.
Loved the human voice test you did while reviewing poly voyage free 60, is it possible to do same test for this one please?
We hope to do more tests like that in the future.
Idk it seems like every new headset Jabra comes out with is the best no matter what the tier level is. I know they are all a little bit different but I’ve read that the evolve2 75 and 85 have bad mic quality because of a hardware design. Did the 65 flex fix that? My company will pay for any Jabra or poly headset and I want something with good ANC but it feels like because the mic problems I have to go with the 65 flex but probably doesn’t have better ANC so is there not a Jabra headset out there that has great ANC, sound for listen to music with 40mm driver, and also a good mic?
What headset would you recommend? Criteria is any poly or Jabra with good mic quality for zoom/ teams about 2 hours a day but also good ANC/ music for working and focusing. I was thing about the Focus 2 but it’s an older headset.
Any headset of your choice + neep.com
Anyone able to advise if an AUX to USB-C cable would work (use on a flight)? I asked Jabra, they advised you can play audio over a USB-A/USB-C to USB-C cable. Thye were not able to advise if an AUX to USB-C cable would play audio.
How is the quality of the ear cushions? I have a Voyage 4220 and they quickly peeled off, are there replacement parts?
Both the 4220 and Evolve2 65 Flex have replaceable ear cushions.
Hi, which is the best headphones to take zoom and teams call in a noisy work environment? Especially when everyone around you is taking calls and their voices end up gettint cross overed to your calls? All leads will be appreciated. I've been so confused looking through the videos. 😢
Yes it can get confusing even for me 😂 email our team info@headsetadvisor.com we have some questions to run through and we can make the best recommendation.
Your best bet is to use neep.com noise canceling software with any headset of your choice. And the Jabra Evolve2 55 and Epos Impact 1000 are a couple best headsets you can get for your type of environment.
Hello, thank you for the great review. I purchased this for all day phone calls with customers. I tested out but my friend said she was able to hear my background noise when I used this headset for incoming calls, how come noise suppression didn’t work? Please advise. Thanks
Which device are you connecting the headset to?
@@HeadsetAdvisor iPhone 13 and I am only using it for phone calls coming in thru my phone, not TEAMs or other features..
Is that background canceling means, I can't hear anything? Or other person on the other line? Because when I activate ANC feature of course no background noise I can hear.. but when I call someone, they can hear my background...does make sense?

Hi, Is this better than the Orosound?
I have been contemplating between Evolve 2 65 flex & Orosound and came across this review.
Which would you prefer for someone who takes on online meetings approximately 3-4 hours a day (normally at home, but from time to time outside).
Both are top tier headsets so you can't go wrong either way. The Tilde Pro in our opinion will have a better microphone and the added flexibility to switch between over-ear or on-ear cushions if your preferences change in the future.
Which one would you recommend between 65 flex and 75 strictly based on microphone performance?
Both are good but 65 flex in our opinion.
When you use the USB-A cord with this headset does it then become a "wired" headset? ie the audio and mic run through the cord rather than bluetooth? I like the option to use wired in addition to wireless.
Yes 🙂
How would you compare this to the Jabra Evolve 2 85 - do you think it is better other than smaller form factor?
Hi Vinod, neither is superior to the other. Which model you'd choose is based on your specific requirements. However, if microphone quality is most important, we found the Evolve2 65 Flex performs better than the Evolve2 85 in this area.
@@HeadsetAdvisor Thanks for the feedback!!
And I assume this headset charges with any Qi wireless charger...correct?
@@VinodJacob181 We don't see any reason why not, but we haven't tested a third party Qi charger to say for certain.

Hi Markus, we haven't heard any word of a replacement to the Evolve2 85 as of yet. Give the Orosound Tilde Pro a look ruclips.net/video/2y5tTOAzmUI/видео.html
Thanks for quick answer.
So im having an issue with my keyboard noises and other sounds bleeding into my microphone, are you using some other software or special settings because I dont think anything ive tried has worked to cancel that sound out on my microphone
Are you using this headset? Make sure you're using the USB Dongle when connected to the computer. If you're on Windows, look into disabling a setting called "intel smart sound USB audio" and "intel smart sound USB audio"
You can also consider adding neep.com noise canceling software.
How does it compare with the original jabra evolve2 65? Is it worth the upgrade?
Definitely
I have the evolve2 85. How can this noise cancelation be so much better on the 65?? My evolve2 85 blocks no open office or barking dogs at all.
I use it with Android(Bluetooth) and Linux (dongle). Both doesn't block anything
Not sure the exact answer but what we do know is this is a brand new model and it seems like Jabra further improved the microphone.
@@HeadsetAdvisor sure! I mean its completely useless, and its sold as an office headset 🙃
What headsets can you recommend with the best noise cancelling and that also can hide the boom mic? :)

@@sliddjur The headset in this video should work better in regards to the mic noise cancellation, and is good to consider. Or give the Orosound Tilde Pro a look ruclips.net/video/2y5tTOAzmUI/видео.html
Do you really need the USB-C connected to the computer and phone if they already hace BT?
@@arturo5050 the dongle is only when connecting to your computer. Bluetooth to the computer for any headset causes degraded audio, not as reliable of a connection, less wireless range and no advanced capabilities. So, it’s highly recommended to use the USB dongle for connection with your computer.
The design is incredible but boy that price 😭
Definitely an investment but you've gotta try these! They are something else, very unique.
I really would love to buy this as I need a reliable headset that is wireless and lightweight as I need to use it everyday for around 3-4 hours on MS Teams. The problem is some people are complaining about the mic not functioning properly. For its price this should not be an issue. Also, Jabra told me that they don’t have ear cushions available for me to buy locally. What alternatives can you offer?
There are some reports of customers having microphone issues but not nearly as common compared to the Evolve2 75. We're not aware of any alternative ear cushions that could be provided to you as well unfortunately.
@@HeadsetAdvisor thank you for taking the time to reply. I think I will give the 65 flex a try

I kept on adjusting my glasses coz it hurts the side of my ears.
Now, I work at home and normally I am in my
own room and no noise. I wanted to know in your honest opinion if I should use the Elite 10 over the Evolve 2 earbud.
I’m tempted with the Flex 65, but my concerns are the tightness and also my issues for years which makes my ears feels hot and my eye glasses.
FYI, I use it for work. Not for gaming or anything else
The Evolve2 65 flex will be superior in every way for your needs, but one other to consider that I think would meet your needs even better is here headsetadvisor.com/products/shokz-opencomm2-stereo-bone-conduction-bluetooth-headset?_pos=1&_sid=30c9f6363&_ss=r&variant=43680631488727

2) Is it better to get the UC version so that you can integrate with MS Teams and Zoom as well Google meeting?
3) If I go with the MS Teams version which my enterprise onine conference call app , can I integrate with all other online app such as Zoom and Google meet?
Thank you!
1) usb a has a usb a type usb Bluetooth adapter and usb c has a usb-c type Bluetooth adapter so just depends on how you want to connect to PC.
2) just depends do you use zoom and google often? If so yes
3) yes it still will integrate with zoom and meet however it will always prioritize teams so if that’s not your primary software it could get a little annoying
If you have the MS version will it still work properly with other call software? Or juts with MS?
Will any of the MS or UC will work with PBX System?
Yes the MS version works on any other software however if you press the answer button or teams buttons they will always default to teams which can be annoying if your in other apps often.
Technically no but there are a lot of options that we can work. Email info@headsetadvisor.com

Hi Louis, Krisp.ai or apps like Teams with noise suppression built in will always perform the best in our testing.
It's that worth to upgrade from jabra evolve2 65?
It depends. If your currently satisfied with the performance I’d say stick with the original.

Within Teams there's a setting called noise suppression. Turn this off or turn it to the lowest setting to see if that helps.
Also, if you're on Windows go to Start Menu > Device Manager > sound and video game controllers > If you have any settings referring to "Intel Smart Sound Technology" disable them all, restart your computer and see if this is any better for you.
Lastly, download Jabra Direct and see if there's any firmware updates available and make sure you connect to your computer with the included USB Dongle.
Jabra said it's hybrib noise canceling.

Which is better - Jabra Evolve2 65 or Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex?
The easy answer is the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex headsetadvisor.com/products/jabra-evolve2-65-flex-uc-dual-speaker-wireless-bluetooth-headset?_pos=1&_sid=ada5a9aa8&_ss=r
Is a longer mic better than a short microphone? Thx
Not necessarily
Can you please compare it to Engage 65?
Both headsets are in two different categories so we don't have any plans for this video at the current time. That being said, the Evolve2 65 Flex is Bluetooth and best for mobile phone + computer, whereas the Engage 65 is DECT and is best for your desk phones and computers. The Engage 65 also requires the charging base for the headset to work, so it isn't as portable if you're in a scenario where you need to take your headset with you on the go for computer use.
Usually customers would order the Engage 65 over the Evolve2 65 Flex if you connect with a desk phone, or if you're in an office/home work environment where you need the longest wireless range possible.
Which one you prefer between evolve 2 55 and 2 65 flex regarding mic ANC?
That’s a good question. My initial thoughts were I felt like the evolve2 65 Flex is better but early preliminary results from our blind headset mic poll 2023 suggests evolve2 55 may be better probably because it has a longer boom arm. You can check out the voting app we built here vote.headsetadvisor.com
@@HeadsetAdvisor I'd love to see a direct mic/audio test comparison between the 65 flex and the 55. Trying to decide between the two
How would you say this compares vs Tilde Pro vs Shokz OpenComm 2, in terms of 1. Comfort 2. Mic quality/noise cancellation 3. Build quality?
All models mentioned are in different classes so it’s very hard to answer the comfort question as it’s very subjective, and all 3 are made for different needs. The build quality and mic/noise cancellation is very good on all three.
Depending on your use case would determine which to go with. For example if you were working in a loud office or coffee shop, the Tilde Pro or Flex would be a better way to go.
@@HeadsetAdvisor thanks for the insight and your honesty :)
Would you still keep it over evolve 2 75 and 85 ?
Depends on the situation the 85 mic doesn’t do good noise cancellation but it will have the best anc and speakers for me I want more mic cancellation so I’d go evolve 65 flex over 85 but if mic doesn’t matter as much then 85
Thanks for the great review. But a question: how comfortable is the headset when worn for long periods with glasses, as a lot of people wear glasses while working?
It's a hard question to fully answer because peoples answers will differ but I'd say the majority will find it comfortable for long periods. It's extremely lightweight!
I have been using it a day,it’s the lightest Premium headset I have ever used,I didn’t like it at first but it is so light . It’s amazing
can you also exercise with this? so sweat resistant?
The Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex is not waterproof, but it is IP54 splash-resistant. This means that it can withstand light splashes of water, such as from rain or sweat.
The most important thing for me is to connect it to both my phone and laptop (for Teams and Zoom). I want to use it for sports, but most importantly, when I have a lot of background noise, like in a store, gym, outdoors, or at home with the TV on, I want people in my meetings or on the phone to not hear the background noise. Is this one suitable for this purpose or the Yealink BH 72?
@@hakanyildirim8684 it seems like this headset or the Orosound Tilde Pro is the way to go.
I'm just after testing these headset for the first time. I must say I'm quite disappointed.
Cons:
- Firstly, they slip of your head so easily. If working at the desk, looking straight at your screens it's not an issue. But as soon as I look at my phone (tilting head down) they slip towards the forehead. Noone seems to be mentioning this but it's quite an irritating aspect.
- Having the need to use Jabra Link 380 USB dongle is quite a limitation. Another port used on the laptop. Using it with built-in laptop bluetooth limits functionalities.
- I have UC version (according to the model number) but I still have Microsoft Teams icon on the right headphone button. Confusing.
- Volume control on the side (the + and - ) is not changing volume if the sound isn't playing. Minor thing, but this was not the case on other headphones. You could change volume anytime you wanted. Also, each press i hear the voice 'Battery medium, two devices connected' but that's not doing anything else. Again, that press is not doing anything (not changing volume).
- Tilting microphone to mute or unmute is not practical. Tapping on a side would be better.
- My colleague couldn't tell quality difference through teams between these and Plantronics C3210 in terms of pure audio quality (not talking about noise elimination).
Pros:
- Connects to both laptop and phone like a charm. Prioritizes devices as expected (intuitive).
- Comfortable, as long as you don't tilt your head.
- Folds nicely and is quite portable to carry.
Unfortunately, I am returning mines.
Pls reviews Logitech g pro X wired gaming headset
Thanks for your suggestion! We don't review gaming headsets at the current time as it's not what we specialize in, but we've been in talks about this for the future.
does it work with cisco jabber?
Yes
Is the battery user replacable?
It’s not. By the time a battery would need to be replaced it would be that time to get a new headset.
Where can we purchase them?
If you're within the US or Canada you can purchase from us here headsetadvisor.com/products/jabra-evolve2-65-flex-uc-dual-speaker-wireless-bluetooth-headset?_pos=1&_sid=a9f4fd545&_ss=r otherwise, you'll want to look in your local market or contact Jabra directly to guide you to a reseller.
Does this work with MacBooks?
Yes
Amazing
🙏
Epos mic is must better in anc test.
@@arthurtecpc agreed. Epos impact 1000 is the best noise canceling mic we’ve tested so far. They both have their place depending on your specific needs.
Omg in your open office test the mic is really cutting your speech. This is unacceptable
Thanks for watching. Check out the Impact 1000 ruclips.net/video/l1w9SFHDXJo/видео.htmlsi=43-gbgvB5dFn6-At
Mine is a big head. This headset in pics look small. Does this suit bigger heads as well?
has anybody tried this on ubuntu? -- is the experience same?
We have not I read on Reddit that users were able to use them on ubuntu however it’s not directly supported by Jabra but I’m sure it will work either using the dongle or the direct Bluetooth but may be limited for what you can do with it
Noice cancel decent, better than many, but the mic sucks...less distortion than most but too much for me.
Thanks for watching. You could also consider using any headset of your choice with the mic quality you like then add neep.com noise canceling software to get the best of both worlds.
It's not fair. Test with airpod pro2
Trust me, Airpod Pro2 will sound like hot garbage too.
In regards to mic quality there would be no difference between gen 3 and Airpods Pro 2 unfortunately 😥
@@HeadsetAdvisor really 😮, I think that airpod pro2 can reduce more noise. Airpod pro2 can reduce more noise than Sony wh1000xm4.
@@AungMyat-yj1eo maybe more than Sony XM4 but not the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex. Airpods or XM4 won't compare to this Jabra headset for calls and meetings.
@@HeadsetAdvisor thanks for your reply
In Germany I bought it for 203€
From where?
Camara mic is far superior!!!
Definitely agree hard to take our camera mic wireless up to 100 feet away, and our camera mic has almost no noise cancellation and has no speakers. But agree.
The price is super high, I would rather buy Bose NC 700.
