Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex Review Video

Below is a video of the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex that will provide you with a comprehensive overview of this innovative business grade headset. Many of your questions will be answered if you take a moment to check this out.

Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex

Headsets are easily found across the internet, so finding one, though a bit confusing with all the choices, isn't all that difficult.  But, finding one that rivals the Evolve2 65 Flex is another matter alltogether.

Here's why

Weight

The Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex takes comfort in a dual ear headset to a new level. It weighs only 4.8 ounces, which by double ear headset standards is among the lightest in its class. And yes, weight matters when it comes to headset wearing comfort.

Air Comfort Technology

The Evolve2 65 Flex comfort doesn't end with its weight, because Jabra created cushions that takes comfort to a whole new level.

Jabra calls this "Air Comfort Technology." Simply put, they began with a clean sheet of paper and completely rethought the matter of padding. Rather than taking the status quo approach, they chose a different path by using several layers of ultra-soft perforated foam material inside a collapseable headband specifically designed to enhance comfort. 

Here's a quick 10 second video animation of this.

Besides out of this world padding, the headband can be adjusted for different head sizes, and the ear speakers pivot so they conform to the angle of your ears. And speaking of the ear speakers, these are among the thinnest ear cups in the industry. That gives it a very narrow look that's sleek, and modern in its appearance.  So you won't look like you're taking orders at the local drive thru.

Ear Cushion Squish

The ear cushions on the Jabra  Evolve2 65 Flex are perhaps the softest, most "squishy" headset ear cushions available today. Pillows for the ears come to mind.

So if you're someone who appreciates soft, memory foam, conforming ear cushions, get ready to be blown away because these cushions are King of the hill when it comes to the two c's - cush and  comf.

Professional Sound On Demand

Though Jabra paid close attention to comfort on the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex, they didn't take their eye off the ball and ignore sound quality.

The Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex comes with 2 Analog, and 4 digital MEMS noise canceling microphones packed into a short, discreet, foldaway microphone boom. There's a lot of tech working in the background that helps you sound loud, clear and professional. Jabra created a specially designed digital algorithm, powerful new chipset in what they refer to as ClearVoice technology.

Mic Up

When you're not on calls, and don't need to use the microphone, it tucks neatly away, and out of sight allowing it to take on the look of a pair of entertainment headphones. Raising the mic up also mutes it.

Mic Down

But when you need to be on a business call, the microphone boom arm can be easily dropped down so you can take advantage of the exceptional sound quality, and noise reduction, keeping things loud, clear and professional. Lowering the mic boom arm unmutes the microphone, and answers an incoming call.

Collapseable design

Because the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex can fold in half, it takes up less room when traveling. For you light packers, this is good news.

This design isn't one that you typically find on competing models, which makes this feature on the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex a bit unique.

The only other model in the Jabra line that is foldable like the Evolve2 65 Flex is the Evolve2 85 as shown below. But as you'll notice, the Evolve2 65 Flex is substantially smaller, thinner and lighter.

1. Fold up the headset
2. Slide it into the carry case
3. And you're on your way.

Best of all, thanks to its small footprint, it won't take up much room in your bag, so you'll have more space for other things.

So if you're someone who finds yourself in an airport, coffee shop, or grinding it out at home, then you owe it to yourself to check out the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex. This is one headset that won't weigh you down, or let you down.

Sound Is Subjective, So Listen And Decide For Yourself

Everyone has their opinion on what sounds good to them. One person might think a headset sounds great, while someone else might feel it doesn't. With that in mind, here's a short, 2 minute video that tests the sound quality, and noise reducing qualities of the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex microphone. Have a listen, and decide for yourself.

Speaker Specs

The Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex comes with the following ear speaker specifications:

• Speaker size - 28mm
• Speaker max input power - 30 mW
• Speaker frequency range - 20Hz - 20000Hz
• Speaker bandwidth - music mode - 20Hz - 20000Hz
• Speaker bandwidth - speak mode - 150Hz - 6800Hz

So what does all this really mean? 

Simply put, if you're on business calls, you'll hear everything loud and clear. And when you want to listen to some music, or a podcast, ditto on that as well.

ANC - Active Noise Cancellation

We all work in different environments, and those environments can be challenging with all the different types of background noise.

• Dogs barking
• Babies crying
• Coworker chatter
• Traffic noise
• Wind

Just to name a few.

The Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex comes with the popular feature of Active Noise Cancellation. This provides you with the ability to dampen background noise so you aren't distracted. And when you're not distracted, you can stay focused on your projects, and get more  work done because interruptions are real productivity killers.

The ANC feature you'll find on the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex shifts the balance of power and places it squarely in your hand. Or in this case, finger. Activate ANC and experience a higher level of blissful quietness so you can stay focused on your tasks, and in the end, get more done.

HearThrough

HearThrough is the feature that eliminates the frustration, and need  of having to repeatedly remove the headset whenever you want to have a face-to-face conversation with someone, or hear what's going on around you.

This is a never ending process that repeats every day. Fortunately, the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex fixes that.

HearThrough allows you to press a button on the Evolve2 65 Flex to activate external facing microphones so you can hear your surroundings, or have a conversation with someone.. This is a simple technological fix to a long time headset annoyance.
