Jabra Evolve 80 UC Stereo A

I like that you can just plug the usb port into your laptop/device and it just works, whilst charging. It's easy to change the volume or mute the call and with side tone I can hear my voice, so I don't talk loudly in the office. The noise cancellation however is disappointing. As far as I can tell the headphones only have one mic that deals with active noise cancellation (on the outside of the boom mic). The ANC is pretty good at cutting out the noise of air conditioning, but very poor at cutting out conversations around me. The Bose 700 have great noise cancellation but are much more modern than these headphones released in December 2014. However the Bose 700 do not have a boom mic, so I feel customers can hear me better with these. I wouldn't pay full price for them though. I got a great Amazon Warehouse deal.

Based on technical description and the audio trial available on the Jabra site, with and without active noise cancellation, I was expected a more effective noise reduction.

Nice and comfortable but needed to return as I couldn’t use them for work from a cafe. People in my meetings would hear noises in the background picked up by the mic

The headphones produce great sound. The noise cancellation is helpful, especially for at home use. Even with a door closed there is noise from other family members and this eliminates it. I didn't think the feature would be so useful. The headset is comfortable, support and warranty is excellent.

A great headset, pricey but you get everything you pay for.
