Jabra Evolve 75 UC Wireless Bluetooth On Ear Headphones with Mic (Black)

As soon as I received this, I started using this. There was a little challenge in terms of getting delivery early but as soon as I raised a query, the seller was quite responsive and did provide immediate response. I did end up getting delivery four days before the timelines provided. With Jabra, I never actually had any doubts with quality of headset. Bluetooth connection was effortless and the sound quality is absolutely great. Noise cancellation seems good as I did not get any feedback from person on other side about any background noise. Liked the box in which you can keep the headset. It really helps! Yes it is expensive but I am hoping that this will last for years to come!

I bough this headset after a lot research with few expectations, but I must admit I am disappointed after making this purchase. I will explain its positives and negatives as follows:
Positives:
1. Good built quality, doesn’t look cheap, design is also attractive.
2. Battery life is also decent, upto 12 hours in my case with out listening music.
3. Call quality on phone is decent, no complaints at other side.
4. Mic has magnetic end which keeps it stick to headband.

Negatives:
1. Its not 98 feet range, its simply work for 35 feet in both cases, connected to mobile in bluetooth mode and with my thinkpad laptop in USB receiver mode. In both the cases, it started communicating with my device after 11 meter. Therefore claim of the company about its range is not actual. I have tested and compared it on several devices along with OnePlus BT headset, it worked only for 11 meter distance range. Therefore dont be mislead about its connectivity range.
2. There are distortions in the sound while going beyond 10 meters, other person on the call complained about voice being robotic.
3. I bought this headset for using on zoom, gMeet, MS Team online conferencecalls, but its headset doesn’t deliver my voice as clear as Jabra Evolve 40 wired headset. Its being double of the cost of Evolve 40, does half of the work in terms of microphone clarity over online conference calls.
4. Its boom mic arm is shorter, doesn’t reaches to the lips, it remains at the corner of lip line.
5. Connectivity with two devices (bluetooth +PC) is not seemless, it gives hard time to understand how it would switch from device to another.
6. If i connect it to my laptop with USB neno receiver, it behaves as same as it has been connected through bluetooth only, it mean there is considerable lag in the key press on laptop and action being performed, its annoying specially if you listening different audio files, or using screenreader software.
7. Its mic is refigned as Evolve40.

My conclusion would be, if it is not essential for you to have wireless headset, simply go to Jabra Evolve wired headset if you are looking to have better sound clarity over conference call on internet. I realised my mistake purchasing this headset when I could simply spent its half amount over Evolve40 which comes with best microphone for phone call and online conference calls.

Perfect headphones for office calls. Can be used as Bluetooth headphones for music too but i generally use it for office with usb connector. Too convenient to use . Good battery life and the best part is the ANC, works like a charm. Only minor issue im facing is with the adjustment over head. Its a bit lose . N ya price is a bit high . But if office pays for it . Its the best option to buy

I was looking for a Bluetooth headset with a boom mic for a long time and had also looked at the Evolve 75. It was one of the strong contenders for my purchase, but I was unable to make up my mind since in the past, I was let down by the call experience with my Bose QC30 (which is good for music, but not for calls – since the microphone isn’t placed correctly).

I saw Evolve 75 with a colleague and took his feedback which was positive – he had been using it for 2 years now. I wanted that one real-person feedback and I got mine immediately.

I am extremely happy with this headset for home / office use. While it comes with a dongle, it isn’t necessary at all. The headset pairs perfectly with my laptop without the dongle too. I have been using it extensively and have a very positive experience so far.

I was worried whether it will work on Linux and on MSFT product like Teams, and happened to see that it worked on Linux with both Zoom and Teams calls.
Without need to install any software nor had to keep configuring sound settings like I had to do for JBL bluetooth headphone, where it would default to system speaker. But in case of Jabra, whenever Jabra headset is connected I dont have to configure anything and works like charm. Another good part, I can go on mute just by lifting mic – I liked this simple tweak which also lets my family members know that I can listen to them.

BTW I have Ubuntu 20.04
