What to Consider Before Purchasing
Connectivity & Compatibility
Connectivity options for a business headset are chosen depending on the devices used for work. Modern laptops with slimmer designs no longer include legacy ports, such as the MacBook, which has forced people to use wireless options. However, USB-C ports are still added, which can provide a fast and secure connection to a headset. Most Jabra Wired headsets can be purchased with a USB-C option.
A USB-connected headset will have a more reliable connection as it is directly connected to the device being used.
Call Clarity & Noise Reduction
Clear communication is a major factor when it comes to customer interactions or calls with team members. Jabra’s corded headsets offer microphone noise cancelling for clearer calls by blocking out unwanted background noise, allowing your voice to be heard clearly.
The Evolve2 wired models feature professional-grade speakers which provide excellent audio for the user.
Comfort & Ergonomics
All-day comfort is crucial when working long shifts or taking back-to-back calls. Soft memory foam ear cushions and ergonomic, lightweight designs give you comfort without the extensive pressure from normal over-the-ear headsets.
Work Environment
Depending on the work environment you are in, the best headset option can vary to suit your workplace best.
- For remote/hybrid professionals – A headset with a USB-C port that plugs directly into your laptop without an adapter. A lightweight headset to make it easy to carry during commutes/travels.
- Open-plan office - Background chatter is unavoidable, so a headset with a noise-cancelling microphone ensures your voice comes through clearly on every call.
- Call Centres – Call centres are almost always high-volume spaces, and a noise-cancelling mic is essential. A headset with a padded ear cushion can also be beneficial as it provides all-day comfort for back-to-back calls.
Final Thoughts
Choosing the right corded headset can make a huge difference in productivity, comfort, and call quality — whether you’re managing a call centre, working from a busy office, or logging in from home. The Jabra Evolve2 series offers premium comfort and advanced noise cancellation for professionals who need to focus, while the Evolve 20 provides a straightforward, budget-friendly option, and the Evolve 30 II delivers the flexibility needed for hybrid setups.
