Jabra Evolve2 30 SE Corded USB Headset

In brief:

Jabra’s entry-level quality USB only headset has noise cancelling in the microphone only. Its a lightweight option, suitable for mid level usage and comfy enough to wear all day. 2 microphones to help block out noise for your caller. Launch Date – March 2021.

What we love:

+ Quality simple basic USB headset
+ Available in all variants USB A, USB C, Teams and UC
+ Comfy for all day wear
+ Lightweight
+ Noise isolating memory foam earcups

What we don’t love:

• USB-C versions should not be used with mobiles, they are officially not compatible and may give inconsistent results
• Track skipping via PC is not supported
• Not an ACTIVE noise cancelling headet (will not block out background noise to help you focus)

In Detail:

The Evolve2 30s are lightweight and comfortable, with memory foam ear cushions that countour to the shape of your ear and a nicely cushioned headband. Jabra measured hundreds of heads to make sure this headset is just right for all day wear, without too much pressure on ears, so unless you have a super tiny or really enormous noggin (no judgement here!) you’re good to go. 

It has shaped and tilted earcups to assist with comfort & also blocking out background noise. A good fit means it will help block out distracting background noise  (mostly relevant for those needing a stereo headset for this purpose). This design does mean however that you have to wear the microphone coming from your right ear.  For mono versions the earcup will always be on the right ear.

The Jabra Evolve2 30 has a small but bright busy light on the earcup which has the microphone boom but not the microphone itself.  There is a little flex in the mic boom to ensure perfect positioning for best voice transmision.

Sound quality in both directions; The Evolve2s have great quality sound with a new chipset and 2 microphones to hone in on just your voice.  If you like to rock out between calls, you’ll find this an excellent headset and you can pause and skip tracks.

This is a simple, plug & play solution for those who don’t want to splash out much on a headset. Obviously it’s easily transportable and has a pouch to protect it in transit (plus it sits flat as the ear cushions rotate 90 degrees).  You don’t need to charge it like a Bluetooth headset, but then again you’re tied to your computer.

Unusually for a USB corded headset, all the controls are on the headset, not set into a control panel in the cable.  You can

• adjust volume
• mute
• play and pause music
• forward a track
• MS Teams version –  see Features tab for more info
