In an age where hybrid working is standard for most professionals, having the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere is important. As part of the GN Group, Jabra is a unique position to design solutions with differentiating features even when adopting a consumer form-factor. The top-of-the-range Jabra Evolve2 Buds are designed to boost concentration and improve collaboration for professionals working on the go. The earbuds are certified for Microsoft Teams and Zoom, and use the latest technology to reduce disruptive background noise and enable clearer calls.
When working from home, the office or in a public space, we are often wrought with distractions everywhere: from the sounds of our washing machine churning to the sound of a barista working the coffee machine to colleagues chattering in the background. For this reason, the Evolve2 Buds come with Adjustable Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology, which hybrid-working professionals can use to personalize the ANC to their listening preferences, blocking out any external sounds and minimizing distractions. The Evolve2 Buds also come with a sealing test feature called MyFit, as well as SafeTone with PeakStop, which ensures enhanced hearing protection and the most optimal seal for the best, personalized ANC experience.
It's more important than ever for employees to be heard on calls and to be able to talk freely with their co-workers without being interrupted, especially as virtual meetings become the norm. With many of us now used to the true wireless earbud form factor, Jabra developed the Evolve2 Buds to enable users to have high-quality conversations with Jabra MultiSensor Voice. This feature uses a unique combination of four microphones, bone conduction sensors, and advanced algorithms to block out as much of the surrounding noise as possible so the user can be heard clearly by those on the call, contributing to more focused conversation experiences. The earbuds also support Advanced Multipoint for connections to two devices at one time, while maintaining pairing for up to 8 different devices.
For those seeking stable connectivity and increased mobility, the Evolve2 Buds feature a long wireless range, thanks to the unique, Bluetooth 5.2 dongle that can be plugged into any PC. With a wireless range of up to 20 meters/65 feet, the Evolve2 Buds give employees the ability to move around their home or hybrid/remote work environments without compromising call quality (standard Class 2 devices normally cover distances up to 10 meters). On that front, the earbuds come with 5 hours of talk time and a total of 33 hours of battery, including the charging case, avoiding the inconvenience of the earbuds running out of charge mid-meeting.
"The world we live in today has made us crave freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere. At the same time, we also learned from our Hybrid Ways of Working 2022 research about the role that technology plays in increasing employee inclusion in hybrid work. With all that in mind, we sought to create a product with our new Jabra Evolve2 Buds to empower users to look, sound and be professional on the go," says Holger Reisinger, SVP at Jabra.
Featuring an ultra-discreet design, following the lines of previous Jabra earbuds, the Evolve2 Buds can offer both comfort and a professional look to its users. Also important for professional use, HearThrough allows users to hear surrounding sounds through the earbuds while wearing them, while single earbud use allows extended the battery life during a day of calls. The included USB-C case also supports wireless charging and includes a receptacle for the USB dongle.
Those who intend to use the Evolve2 Buds to listen to music will be pleased to know that these support AAC transmission, apart from the standard SBC. The Evolve2 Buds are waterproof and dust-resistant, come in any color as long as it's black, and will be available end of November 2022, with an MSRP of $269. Jabra will offer the Jabra Evolve2 7 Buds models with USB-C or USB-A unified communication dongles, with and without the wireless charging pad.
