March 30, 2020 — Jabra has announced its Evolve2 range, the next generation of Evolve, from its best-selling and market leading UC headsets for improved productivity. The new range consists of the Evolve2 85, Evolve2 65, and Evolve2 40; engineered to transform concentration, collaboration and flexibility in the workplace.
With more people working from home, they’re faced with the challenge of staying focused on work while many distractions present themselves in their new home office or environments not optimized for work.
The Evolve2 range is designed to block out more noise and provide better voice quality, bringing distributed teams together and giving people the power to work from anywhere while staying connected. The headsets work with all leading UC platforms and are pending certification for Microsoft Teams.
Since Jabra’s Evolve range first hit the market in 2014, the state of work has changed significantly. With the growing proliferation of global teams and remote work, there is a higher need for collaboration across enterprise locations and around the world. In today’s society where our work and private lives overlap regularly, it’s important that technology solutions can support every scenario.
Taking the best features of Jabra’s consumer audio expertise combined with enterprise grade technology, the no-compromise Evolve2 headset range offers features that suit every element of life – whether in the office or on-the-go and remote.
The Evolve2 range includes three headsets:
- The Evolve2 85 offers Digital Hybrid ANC and ten microphones in total, including two microphones in the fully integrated boom-arm, which can be discretely hidden for on-the-go use, and eight in the ear cups. Users can enjoy up to 37 hours wireless battery life, 40MM speakers for immersive music, and an integrated busy light with 360-degree view on both ear cups. The headset has been developed to take full advantage of the latest in audio chipset technology, enabling the Evolve2 85 to be one step ahead in battery life, solid connectivity and audio processing. The sleek and comfortable Evolve2 85 is designed with both the office environment and mobile professional in mind, which ensures the headset can be worn regardless of where you’re working.
- The Evolve2 65 has three microphones of which two are located in the boom-arm and one in the right ear cup. The headset offers up to 37 hours of battery life and three times better real wireless range than the existing Evolve 65.
- The Evolve2 40 is a corded variant and offers the same comfort, durability and user experience as the Evolve2 65.
The Evolve2 85 and Evolve2 65 will include the Jabra Link 380, Jabra’s new BT adapter (dongle) that will be available in either USB-C or USB-A version.
Key features of the Evolve2 range include:
- Isolating design that cancels more noise than ever before
- 360° busylight that protects you from all angles and all interruptions
- More mics and much, much less background noise on calls
- Bigger speakers. Better sound.
- Enough battery for an entire week of work
- UC-Certified and Teams-Certified
The Microsoft Teams variants in the range have a dedicated Microsoft Teams button which allows instant connection to colleagues and meetings. For these versions the special status indicator LED on the headset signals different alerts, such as a missed call or a new voicemail.
Holger Reisinger, SVP, Enterprise Solutions at Jabra, said: “The working world is changing. Advancements are being made across all sectors, but productivity isn’t improving at the necessary pace. Distractions are growing in the workplace; remote working is on the rise and so are the challenges with collaboration. This makes the professional world a fairly convoluted space, something the Evolve2 range provides an answer to. Our headsets deliver productivity, pioneer the digital experience and enhance concentration. We are confident that with the Evolve2 range we’re offering the best headset for concentration and collaboration, while also creating a new standard in headsets for the modern worker.”
