Jabra De Evolve2 modellen met Microsoft Teams-certificering ondersteunen Microsoft Teams als een plug-and-play-ervaring. De plug-and-play-ervaring biedt de volgende voordelen: Jabra estimates the earbuds can last up to eight hours per charge with ANC on, or up to 10 hours with it off. The case holds up to an additional 25 hours of battery life, again depending on your use of ANC and typical listening volume level. The company claims you can recharge the earphones in about two hours and that five minutes of charging gets you roughly an hour of playtime.

Internally, 6mm drivers deliver a frequency range of 20Hz to 20KHz. The earphones are compatible with Bluetooth 5.2 and support the AAC and SBC codecs, but not AptX.

The USB Bluetooth dongle stows away conveniently in the earbud storage case and it’s available in USB A and USB C fittings. The dongle provides high audio quality when connecting with a computer. The dongle produces low latency and wide-frequency audio for clearer conversations that are more lifelike and in sync with the video feed.

The Evolve2 Buds storage case takes around two hours to fully charge, and the earbuds can play for up to eight hours before recharging. When it comes to talking time, a full charge delivers up to five hours of phone calls. The storage case recharges using a USB-C cable or any Qi-compatible wireless charging mat. With the charge stored in the earbuds and the reserve in the storage case, Evolve2 Buds can work for up to 33 hours, more than enough time for a couple of weeks’ worth of commuting. The earphones were particularly ineffective against a recording of a busy restaurant with clanging dishes and boisterous conversation. In fact, it was difficult to tell whether the ANC mode was active at all. At least they manage to avoid one common pitfall—we didn't hear anything in the way of a masking hiss in quiet environments. The four-mic MEMS array (which works in combination with dual bone conduction sensors in each earpiece) offers strong intelligibility. We had no trouble understanding every word from a test recording we took on an iPhone. The signal emphasizes clarity and seems to capture a bit more in the midrange than typical. It was a bit quieter than we prefer, but the in-ear mic levels help keep voices at an ideal volume for clear communication. Our experience on Zoom test calls was similar—ideal clarity, even if the signal could be slightly louder. You can adjust the control layout to a degree in the app by switching between various modes (Music and Media, Incoming Calls, or Active Calls). Within these subsets, you can reassign gestures to different functions. In testing, we found the controls easy to operate and never felt like we needed to shove the earpiece further into the ear canal to get them to work. One minor annoyance: There’s no way to add an off option to the ANC/transparency cycle, which means you have to use the app to listen without either. Once you're past the setup process, the app shows an image of the product with battery life readouts for each earpiece and the case. Below this, you can select between ANC, HearThrough (transparency), or off modes. If you select either the ANC or HearThrough options, a fader appears that lets you control their respective intensity.

Professional, pocketable calls.
