Jabra Evolve2 85, Link380c MS Stereo Stand Black Evolve2 85, 1037894 (Stereo Stand Black Evolve2 85 - Link380c MS Stereo Stand, Black, Headset, Head-Band, Office/Call Center,)

I purchased the headset to be used at work and it passed all my requirements. I can walk around freely while talking to customers using the Bluetooth capabilities, conversations are very clear and the type I have even works with special features using Microsoft Teams. This is a fantastic headset. Easily 5 stars

Good product but the charging stand is not working

Whilst these are expensive, they are high quality. The sound is good and the buttons on the headset are useful, sensible and well placed. I have used these for video conferencing, listening to music and gaming/discord, and they work great for all three. It has good battery and the magnetic charging stand works well. The bluetooth range is good, I stay connected even going to opposite end of the house. It comes with a bluetooth dongle - but I haven't used this as I just connect directly to bluetooth (MacBook Pro/iPhone) and this seems to work fine. The storage case is also nicely made - I don't really use it, possibly would if I needed to travel. The only criticism I have is that its sometimes a bit too keen to connect! It connects to multiple devices at the same time and so sometimes if another device powers up it can 'steal' the connection away. Really its a minor inconvenience at worst. Occasionally they won't connect - but this is something that I have found to be an inherent flaw in bluetooth and I don't think this reflects badly on this product. If you want a top-end headset this is good contender. EDIT: May 2024 The reason I bought these was for the desk stand, so I could charge without having to plug in a usb cable and have it lying around. However they have now stopped charging. The desk stand still puts out charge (tested with mulimtumeter) the support from Jabra was atrocious, going riund in circles with firmware resets, eventually convincing me to buy another (now also useless) deslstandz they offer no repair or replacement. The best they can do is 30% off a new pair from their site. Their price is over £500 so it’s cheaper to buy from Amazon! Even more so if I just buy the headset. I am disgusted that a premium product like this has failed on something so basic. I think the customer support is pathetic and the 30% off a jacked up price is a joke and a real slap in the face. Caveat emptor.

Issues1: Bluetooth • I am connected to my Laptop Lenovo T480s via Jabra Link 380 USB-A Bluetooth adapter. • Maximum range I am getting is ~4-5 meters without interruption. • As soon as I reach 6+ meters headphone completely loose connection from Laptop. Mgs on Jabra Evolve 2 85 “Device Disconnected” • Even if we are within range there is some lag and some sudden disturbance. Issues2: Boom Microphone • My customers are kept on complaining that they can’t hear me property. Customer Feedback – “I am in tunnel”, “I am talking from far distance”, “I am on hands free in the car” • Call without boom is little better. • Funny enough - the mic \ call quality of my current "Jabra Headset Evolve 40 LINK MS" is far better than this • I do understand the Boom functionality: o Rotate the microphone boom arm down or up in one smooth motion. o When using the microphone, the tip of the boom arm should be positioned close to your mouth. Issues3: ANC • It creates a bit if constant on\off vacuum (ANC) or wind noise (maily on the right side), which it bit annoying and gives headache. • Since yesterday I was using Bose 700 for work • And use Airpods pro for personal use (as Airpods Pro are not compatible with windows Teams) • I never have any constant on\off vacuum (ANC) issues with Apple Airpods Pro or Bose 700. I am not sure if this is a faulty set or not compatible with my needs \ expectations?

Excels in noisy office workplace.
