A reliable, travel-ready headset built for hybrid professionals, with premium features and a few comfort caveats.
buy from amazonI’ve been working from home for nearly five years, and during that time, I’ve come to learn just how important a reliable headset is to maintaining productivity and staying connected. Whether I’m in back-to-back video meetings or just trying to stay focused in a noisy environment, a good headset has become as essential to my setup as my laptop or internet connection. I’ve used everything from basic earbuds to high-end over-ear headphones, and each has its trade-offs. What I consistently look for is a combination of clear audio, dependable connectivity, and all-day comfort. With this in mind, I gave the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex a try since I’ve had good luck with Jabra products in the past.

Unboxing
When it comes to packaging, Jabra rarely disappoints. The box for the Evolve2 65 has a branding wrap around it that features a colorful image of the product and a few high-level details. When you remove that, you’ll see a message printed on the actual box that reads, “It’s what’s inside that counts. (that’s why we’ve reduced our packaging)” Now, I don’t remember the last Jabra product I unboxed, but I do think the packaging is minimal.
There is a long explanation of Jabra’s efforts to reduce/reuse/recycle packaging inside the box. Ironically, this is on a separate piece of cardboard that could have been left out if the message was just printed on the box itself. There is a quick start guide printed on a separate piece of cardboard and then the headphones case. The case is soft-sided and is really only designed to hold the headset, its USB receiver, and a charging cable. I was, however, able to slip the wireless charging into the pouch as well.
User Experience
Over the past week, I’ve put this headset through its paces evaluating its design, comfort, sound performance, and connectivity. Below, you’ll find my detailed thoughts on how each aspect held up during real-world use.
Design I really appreciate the fold-flat feature of these headphones as well as their compact size. My go-to headphones are usually the Apple AirPods Max, which work, but aren’t nearly as compact as this Jabra set. In fact, I feel like travel and remote work is where these headphones really shine. They are easy to pack and even easier to grab-and-go when you need to.
Comfort The headset is lightweight, but I did find them a little hard to wear for long periods of time. Because they are on-ear style headphones, my ears got hot pretty quickly. Over-ear headphones have some air flow around the ear even though the ear is covered. On-ear headphones have caused some over-heating issues for my ears and it appears that the Evolve2 are not an exception. Aside from the temperature of my ears, the headset is comfortable to wear. The controls are easy to reach and intuitive. The ear cups are soft, but I think the headband could use some extra padding.
Audio Quality (input and output) I’ve used this headset for several online meetings and thought the incoming audio quality was just fine. I asked people on the other end how I sounded and they said, “Different, but not in a bad way.” I would rate the audio quality above average and I didn’t have any issues with Microsoft Teams, Zoom, or Google Meet. I am a big fan of being able to mute myself just by flipping the microphone up.
As far as noise-cancellation goes, there is a button on the ear cup that switches between modes, and these headphones do have a hear-through function. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work as well as I hoped. The on-ear design of the headphones provides quite a bit of sound isolation and I still felt like the hear-through feature was muted. I could hear myself and ambient noise better than I could when ANC was turned on, but it wasn’t what I hope for with a hear through feature until I adjusted it in the Jabra Direct app.
Connectivity This is an area where I had some issues, but not with Bluetooth or the Receiver. I didn’t have any problems with my devices recognizing the headset’s connection methods, but I did have an issue where my MacBook Pro didn’t automatically switch to the Jabra headset as its primary input/output audio device. I had to manually switch it in System Settings.
Software Package
The Jabra headset does have a companion app — Jabra Direct. It works really well, but it can only be downloaded directly from Jabra. My headset was immediately recognized by the app and all the firmware was updated quickly. As I mentioned above, I was able to adjust my side-tone/hear-through levels and even though I didn’t want to change any of the default button options, the ability exists there in the Jabra Direct app. It’s very easy to navigate.
Conclusion
The Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex is a thoughtfully designed headset built for professionals who split their time between the home office and the road. Its compact, fold-flat design makes it incredibly travel-friendly, while features like hybrid ANC, flip-to-mute microphone, and multi-platform compatibility show that Jabra understands what remote workers need. While it’s not perfect, particularly in long-term comfort and default audio device switching on macOS, it gets far more right than wrong. If portability, professional-grade audio, and dependable connectivity are high on your list, this headset should be a strong contender.
