The Jabra Evolve85 3 have been part of my daily routine now for some weeks alongside other cans and earbuds which is great for comparing to the latest on the market and at several price and feature point, with the cost to performance ratio dropping each year it is now a hard sell to sell expensive headphones, for example Apple have launched new headphones that are overpriced for me but these Jabra Evolve85 3 are also not cheap but target a different market.
The Jabra Evolve85 3 are a hybrid pair of headphones that offer the best for teams type calls and more but not only this phone calls and your music allowing you to hear more than you expect in some instances which is something I have only experienced once before with a pair of gaming earbuds not headphones.
For those who work in the office space or open office these are where it is at right now and the same applies to those who work from home they are for commuters if you commute to work they are for gamers and also general music and movies end of story making these a more versatile product than ever before.
For the professionals on calls such as teams which I often use alongside other platforms the call quality is excellent you can hear more than before and often things you may not of heard like background noise outdoor noise etc with adaptive ANC which suprised me you might also hear things you are not meant to ( in a bad or good way) but this can be tuned to your needs in the app and me being me I am all ears I want to hear it all and crystal clear as you do with these.

The Jabra Evolve3 85 has no boom mic which for me is great not a huge fan but not an issue but the mics perform well on calls and teams calls etc with excellent clairty.
There is a simple button layout again for me great all work well all tacticle and the instant connection to teams which is a winner if you use that platform often which is about half my online calls to be up front on that however it still works great on all platforms it must be noted, these also perform excellent on Zoom and Google Meet for example.
Wireless charging is another bonus for me as I have fully adopted this at home all round the house so for those who are worried fear not also to note in general the battery life alone is excellent here and much improved.
Overall for me the new Jabra Evolve3 85 is an excellent hybrid headset that is a winner for online calls music and movies all round, the price for some might be a turn off however if you want it all in one headset this is where it is at and for me having the best in the game is often costly but this headset is worth it with all the technology packed inside.

Jabra Evolve3 85 (Over-the-Ear) Key Features
· Over-ear design for maximum immersion and noise isolation
· Ideal for professionals needing full focus in louder environments
· Extended battery life for 25 hours of call time or 120 hours of listening to entertainment (with ANC/busylight off) and 10-minute fast charge for 10 hours of use
· 35% slimmer and 23% lighter than Jabra Evolve2 85
Jabra, a global leader in professional audio and video solutions, announcedthe launch of the Evolve3 series, the next generation of its market-leading headset lineup. Building on the success of Evolve and Evolve2, this latest evolution introduces a boomless mic design with class-leading comfort and portability, future-ready voice access for AI and real-time adaptive noise cancellation. It’s engineered to be the first true cross-over headset, built to meet the needs of today’s hybrid professionals and designed for day-to-day personal use.
The Evolve3 85 (over-the-ear) and Evolve3 75 (on-the-ear) offer professional-grade voice clarity and all-day comfort in a modern, contemporary and Danish design. Whether switching between meetings, concentrating on complex projects or using voice to activate AI tools, Evolve3 is built to match the pace and flexibility of modern work.
I have been testing these out for a few days but this does not warant a review just yet but I will say so far after initial testing these are specatular with the audio both on PC calls and listening to music so far and the size difference between the last model and these is remarkable and in my opinion not just a typical cautious spec bump most companies put out each year but rather a big leap foward.
Poor sound quality remains a top concern for today’s professionals, with 99 percent of knowledge workers reporting that bad audio impacts online meetings and call quality ranking as the number one pain point in headset use. Despite this, only 20% are using an enterprise grade headset and rely on other solutions, with 46 percent still bringing consumer headsets to work, which often lack the clarity, comfort and compatibility needed for professional communication.
There is a preference for consumer headset design, and Evolve3 is intended to meet this challenge with a cross-over experience that delivers professional grade performance paired with matching consumer expectations on design. For the first time, users will sound professional but look smart, regardless of wearing it for prolonged time in the office, being on calls in an airport, listening to media on a flight, taking meetings while commuting in traffic or any other situation where you need a headset. Evolve3 delivers clear speech in any environment, even outdoors, which is a significant step up in performance from the previous Jabra Evolve2 85 and 75 boom arm products.
Distraction-free conversations in any environment
Evolve3 features Jabra ClearVoice, a combination of deep neural network (DNN) technology and Jabra’s multi-mic algorithms. Inspired by how the human brain filters noise in a crowded room, and leaning on technology from GN’s hearing division, the DNN model processes layers of sound data to distinguish the user’s voice from surrounding noise without the need for a visible boom arm. This means you can now always be heard clearly on a call with all background noise blocked. This AI-driven approach works with the hardware to enable discreet mic placement while maintaining high level clarity.
Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) responds in real time to both your environment and how the headset fits. Unlike most headsets, the ANC on Evolve3 85 and 75 continues to block out distractions even during calls, not just between them. Whether in a meeting or listening to music, Jabra Evolve3 helps users stay in the zone with fewer interruptions.

Designed for both work and pleasure
Unlike traditional professional headsets, Jabra Evolve3 85 and Jabra Evolve3 75 offer a minimalist design that fits the flexibility of modern work scenarios as well as most user’s wish for a clean, every-day look. This makes Evolve3 a true cross-over headset from professional to leisure use. The Evolve3 85 is an over-the-ear headset designed for immersive focus, while the Evolve3 75 offers an on-the-ear fit for lighter wear with greater environmental awareness. Both models are the most compact and lightweight design in their class, setting new standards for comfort and portability.
Voice-ready for the future of work
Evolve3 supports voice interaction through seamless and accurate access to Gen AI, enabling professionals to use voice input in mobile and screen-free scenarios. Powered by Jabra ClearVoice, this system uses AI-driven deep learning technology trained on more than 60 million real-world sentences to isolate speech from background noise with high accuracy. In real-world environments, it delivers AI-ready performance capturing 96% of words accurately across tested environments (99% in open office), even without a visible boom-arm. This helps users with AI prompts, to complete tasks, issue commands or dictate messages on the go. Voice input is up to three times faster than typing, making it a practical option for staying productive in mobile or screen-free situations.
Smart, secure and scalable
The Evolve3 series is certified for major UC platforms, includes a pre-paired Bluetooth adapter for instant and secure connectivity and supports Bluetooth Native for connection directly to devices. With the Jabra Plus Management software, IT teams can manage devices remotely, push firmware updates and configure settings through a central dashboard. End-users benefit from the new Jabra Plus mobile app with customisation options like equalizer controls, wind noise reduction and quick firmware updates from their smartphone. A desktop version of the Jabra Plus app will be available later in 2026.
Both headsets also feature replaceable batteries for extended product life, in compliance with repair legislation. With up to 25 hours of calls and 120 hours of music, wireless charging and fast charging that provides up to 10 hours of power in just 10 minutes, the Evolve3 series is designed to keep professionals connected and powered throughout the day.
Calum MacDougall, President at Jabra says, “In today’s hybrid world your work and life converge into one and with Evolve3 we deliver a real step-change in user experience of a professional headset. This series brings together industry-leading voice technology, a design you want to wear and seamless integration with the tools and platforms you rely on every day both professionally and personally.”

Jabra, a world leader in professional audio and video solutions, today announced the launch of the Jabra Scheduler, a touchscreen scheduling panel that displays meeting room availability and allows users to reserve spaces directly at the room or through their digital calendars. The panel simplifies scheduling by making it easier to find available spaces, prevent double bookings and deliver a seamless experience across Jabra’s meeting room solutions. Made from more than 50% recycled materials, the panel also supports more sustainable manufacturing practices. The Jabra Scheduler will be globally available on November 17, 2025.
A Complete End-to-End Solution
The Jabra Scheduler works seamlessly with both Microsoft Teams Rooms and Zoom Rooms, making it easy to pre-book meetings through a digital calendar or reserve a space directly at the room. Once synced, upcoming meetings appear in real-time on the interactive touchscreen display, showing exactly how long each room will remain available. LED indicators clearly signal whether a space is free or in use, helping reduce interruptions and keep meetings running smoothly.
In addition to complementing Jabra’s audio and video portfolio, the Jabra Scheduler can also be used in environments and rooms that don’t currently feature Jabra devices. This flexibility allows organisations to standardise their scheduling experience across all meeting spaces while still benefiting from Jabra’s high-quality hardware design and integration with leading platforms.
The Right Room for Every Meeting
The Jabra Scheduler makes it easier for employees to quickly find the space that best suits their meeting needs. Its clear touchscreen display shows real-time room availability, helping users see whether a room is available and for how long, reducing interruptions and last-minute confusion.

See availability at a glance: The high-contrast display and LED indicators make it easy to spot open rooms.
Simplify everyday workflows: Pre-book or reserve on the spot to save time and keep meetings on schedule.
By making it easy to match meeting needs with the right room, organisations can reduce wasted time, avoid double bookings and improve overall meeting efficiency.
Fast, Reliable Deployment
The Jabra Scheduler is designed for quick setup at scale. With integrated cable management, the panel connects directly via a category cable, making installation straightforward once power is in place. It also offers several flexible mounting options, including flat on the wall, angled wall mount, mullion mount or glass, with all hardware included in the box to streamline deployment and minimise complexity.
Devices can be centrally managed through Jabra+, enabling organisations to provision, monitor and update schedulers across multiple locations.

The Jabra Speak2 75 professional speakerphone is an ideal kit for those who use teams and more not only that it is a great personal speaker.
The Speak2 75 features a sleek, modern “puck” design with a brushed aluminum finish and a premium fabric speaker cover. It feels robust and well-built, giving it a professional aesthetic that fits seamlessly in any office or home setting and a nice upgrade to previous models. Weighing around 466g, it’s portable enough to put into a travel or tech bag with the included felt carry pouch, There is also an integrated USB-C cable with a built-in USB-A adapter, which makes it highly versatile and prevents the hassle of losing adapters. The capacitive touch controls on the top surface are intuitive and responsive, lighting up when in use which I really like.
This device is clearly tuned for voice, and it delivers as you will see in the video review compared to the laptops speakers. It features a full-range 65mm speaker and Jabra’s “Super-wideband audio” technology, which is designed to capture a wider range of frequencies for more natural-sounding conversations. For conference calls, voices come through crystal clear and rich. While it can also be used for a personal speaker it sounds good as you will see in the review also.
Microphone Quality
This is where the Speak2 75 truly shines. It is equipped with a four-microphone beamforming array that works with advanced digital signal processing (DSP) to effectively isolate voices and reduce background noise. The full duplex audio allows for natural, two-way conversations without participants cutting each other off. A standout feature is the “Microphone Quality Indicator,” a 360-degree light ring that provides real-time visual feedback on how well your voice is being picked up. This innovative feature is a game-changer for hybrid workers, as it removes the guesswork of whether you’re being heard clearly.
Connectivity and Battery Life
The Speak2 75 offers flexible connectivity options, including Bluetooth 5.2 and a dual-connector USB-C/USB-A cable. It also comes with a Bluetooth dongle for a more stable wireless connection to a PC, and supports Microsoft Swift Pair and Google Fast Pair for quick pairing with mobile devices. The battery life is impressive, with Jabra claiming up to 32 hours of talk time making it a reliable device for long workdays without needing a constant charge. It is also IP64-rated, providing protection against dust and water splashes.
Overall Verdict
The Jabra Speak2 75 is an excellent professional speakerphone. Its superb audio and microphone quality, combined with smart features like the Microphone Quality Indicator and full duplex audio, make it a top-tier choice for professionals who need reliable, high-quality communication. It’s ideal for a variety of use cases, from individual use at a home office to small group meetings. While the price might be a barrier for some, its performance and feature set make it a worthwhile investment for those who depend on clear, professional communication.

Today, Jabra has announced an automatic, over-the-air update to its flagship speakerphone Speak2 75, enabling two Speak2 75 devices to link for enhanced audio coverage, suitable for large and medium size meeting rooms. The devices can be used with platforms like Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and other UC-certified applications and provide both mono and stereo modes.
This update, driven by user feedback on Bluetooth connectivity, introduces a permanent linking capability that expands the range and functionality of the Speak2 75, meeting both the evolving needs of end users and facility managers.
Flexible connection for superior audio
Linked Speak2 75 devices provide excellent audio coverage for professional collaboration in various sized meeting rooms. For example, if one Speak2 75 has 2.5 meeres of range, then having two could more than double the range overall, depending on placement in the meeting room.
Therefore, with this new update, IT and facility managers now have more flexibility to design rooms with better audio coverage, meaning that whether users are in the meeting room or remote, everyone can hear and be heard clearly.
Furthermore, with the permanent linking feature, the Speak2 75s will remain connected even when turned off and on again. This is a significant improvement from its predecessors, where the linking was only temporary. In meeting rooms, where consistent connectivity is crucial, this feature provides a more reliable, plug-and-play user experience.
Versatile for meetings and music
During calls, the linked Speak2 75 devices transmit a dual mono signal, ensuring that both speakers deliver the same clear, precise audio. So, whether it’s an important business meeting or just a casual catch-up, the dual mono signal ensures that all communication is seamless and effective.
When it comes to sound playback, the two speakers switch to a stereo signal, offering a richer and more immersive audio experience. The devices intelligently and automatically switch between dual mono and stereo modes based on the usage scenario, providing the best audio quality for every situation.
Holger Reisinger, SVP for Video & Collaboration solutions at Jabra, said: “With the new linking feature, the Speak2 75 transforms how users experience sound, offering flexible placement options that adapt to any environment. This enhancement makes the Speak2 75 an ideal choice for both professional and personal use, fitting seamlessly into modern lifestyles.
This update reflects our commitment to innovation that genuinely enhances usability and quality. By expanding the Speak2 75’s capabilities, we are setting a new standard for immersive, adaptable audio solutions.”
This update is available now on all Speak2 75 devices via a firmware update in Jabra+, Direct, Xpress and Sound+.
