Jabra’s latest addition to its Evolve2 range was designed to meet the updated needs of hybrid workers, according to Luca Barbarossa, the vendor’s Regional Product Marketing Manager EMEA South.

The Evolve2 75 has been designed to accommodate enterprise users who split their week working from the office and home, as well as the time spent between those locations.

The headset is designed with a focus on comfort, concentration, collaboration, and insights. It is the premium successor to the Evolve 75, with several features to enable better collaboration for users.

“Everything is adjustable, everything is customisable, and everything is really made for you depending on where you are – we really wanted to give people something extremely comfortable,” Barbarossa told UC Today.

“The basic assumption was to find something extremely comfortable and from there we started to look at suitable technologies and solutions which not only allow me to keep the headphones on my head long time but allows me to talk on the headphone in a lot of different situations: talking in the street, at the office, relaxing and listening to music.

“It’s about this modern way of working, and considering that people want to work flexibly – so let’s give them the best product to be able to do that”

Among the new features that the Evolve2 75 offers is fully adjustable Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), which allows users to select how much of their surrounding environment they want to hear. A “HearThrough” button allows users to tune back into the surrounding sounds without having to remove their headset.

The microphone boom arm is also 33 percent shorter than that on the Evolve 75 headset, providing users greater flexibility and better audio. The flipped down arm offers Performance mode, reducing the sound in an open office setting, while folding the arm away still provides quality calls on the go.

The new headset is optimised for all leading UC platforms, connecting colleagues on whichever platform they choose, it also offers data capturing capabilities to allow IT departments make more informed decisions and troubleshoot problems. It also has a dedicated Microsoft Teams button and offers Google Fast Pair with Android devices.

“Today we see a convergence of these headsets which technology allows us to do,” Barbarossa added.

“A few years ago, you could have a good professional headset with a very good microphone but it was not good at all to listen to music because the technology was not there. We understand that this is not something you would buy just to listen to music, you buy it to collaborate but, nonetheless, the quality of this headset to listen to music and the quality of ANC allows you to use it also for something beyond collaboration: a convergence of leisure time and professional time.

“This is a premium product for those people who are looking for better concentration, better collaboration, and a lot more flexibility.”
