Jabra Evolve2 50 review

Jabra's corded Evolve2 50 headset offers plenty of great features on the spec sheet, but disappoints with sub-par ANC and music playback.

Pros

  • Great microphone quality
  • Easy plug and play
  • Voice comes through loud and clear

Cons

  • Uncomfortable for extended use
  • Audio quality isn't great for music
  • ANC function does almost nothing

Working from home has plenty of benefits, but one thing that I’ve grown to hate about it is Zoom calls. 

One previous employer had a tendency to talk so much, and run meetings so long, that my AirPods would completely drain during a Zoom meeting.

So a wired headset actually makes a lot of sense. The Jabra Evolve2 50 is a USB-C corded headset that also features a Bluetooth connection, so you can listen to your music from your phone between calls.

With ANC, an auto-mute boom mic and a flexible design, this headset seems like a decent option for anyone needing optimal call connection for Zoom calls or Microsoft Teams meetings.

But the reality of testing it left me thoroughly underwhelmed.
