Professional Wireless Earbuds
Jabra's Evolve 65e is the second generation of wireless earbuds from the company aimed at working professionals. It features a familiar neckband design which we found to be comfortable to wear. The silicon eargels (3 sizes in the box) plus ear-wings (hooks) on the earbuds offer a snug yet secure fit. There is also magnet on the back of each earbud – they lock the headphones around neck when not in use. The magnet function also doubles up to pause music or disconnect the call when the earbuds are locked together. You can connect and use it with your smartphone as well as PC simultaneously (a USB Bluetooth dongle is included in the box for use with PC).
The neckband has buttons for basic control and a large in-line microphone for voice calls. The Evolve 65e is one of the few earbuds available today that offers Skype for Business certification as well as UC certification. UC or Unified Communications means that the earbuds are optimized for use with solutions from Cisco and Avaya for calling. We used them for normal voice calls, Skype, Google Hangouts and also with WhatsApp – they worked seamlessly for both voice and video calls. The large in-line microphone made sure that our voice was heard clear and loud by the person at the other end of the call and that too without speaking loudly. We even used it for voice chat in PUBG and it worked great.
In terms of audio quality, Evolve 65e delivers superb clarity for voice calls. The ear-gels provide a good amount of noise isolation so we never felt the need to increase the volume over 75% during calls. Much to our surprise, the Evolve 65e proved to be fantastic for multimedia consumption as well. Along with clarity it also has a good amount of bass in the output which makes it great for music as well as movies. We also liked the fact that the audio can be tweaked as per your preference from the companion app.
Battery life of the headphones is equally impressive. A full charge delivers 10+ hours of battery life with multimedia and voice/video calls. The only thing we felt missing was the lack of fast charge support – it takes around 2 hours for a full charge. Overall, the Jabra Evolve 65e is ideal in our opinion for professional users who want a lightweight and comfortable wireless headphone for heavy calling usage.
