• What is Jabra Air Comfort technology?

Back-to-back meetings can mean being in your headset all day, so we’ve created something to take the pressure off even when you’ve got your headset on. Jabra Air Comfort is a new comfort technology that features redesigned earcup cushions with a new pattern and material that distributes pressure on the ear more evenly. We've also changed the inside of the ear cups with a softer, more responsive material that helps to relieve pressure on the ears. The headband features a new perforated design that distributes pressure more evenly on the top of the head** so you'll feel like you're not even wearing a headset during your long meetings. Our engineers spent years perfecting Jabra Air Comfort technology so you can look forward to a new level of feel-good factor during meetings and calls. Jabra Air Comfort comes with the Evolve2 65 Flex, Evolve2 55* and Evolve2 50*.

• What is ANC?

A buzzer-happy delivery driver arriving mid-conference call. Your dog barking in the background of that crucial client chat. We’ve all had one of those days. Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) is a technology used to reduce unwanted background noise. It works by using microphones outside the headset’s earcup (feedforward) to pick up the ambient noise around you, then generating sound waves that are the exact opposite, or "negative," of the ambient noise. These negative sound waves effectively cancel out the background noise, allowing you to hear your audio more clearly.

• Why can I not wear the Evolve2 50 microphone on both sides?

This is where the phrase fit-for-purpose applies. Evolve2 50, just like the rest of Evolve2 line, was engineered to radically improve comfort and sound performance: for that reason the earcups were designed with an asymmetrical shape to better fit the ears and the head shape. Wearing the microphone on either side would require symmetrical / round ear cups that would compromise on both comfort and audio quality.*

*Applies to the Stereo variant only. The mono variant can be worn on both sides of the head.

• Does Evolve2 50 work over a cord with Audio over USB?

Yes, Evolve2 50 has Audio over USB.

• How does Evolve2 50 compare to Krisp.ai and Microsoft Teams software based noise suppression?

We don’t like to brag, but… software based noise suppression can cancel basic background noise i.e. a keyboard tapping but it doesn’t come near to what Evolve2 55 and professional noise cancelling headsets can do. Software based noise cancellation cannot cancel speech and human voices, which are some of the most common types of noises in hybrid work situations i.e. if your partner at home or your colleague in the office is speaking near you, the headset will be able to cancel that as opposed to software noise cancellation. Software noise suppression also requires computer CPU, which consumes more battery, and often affects speech quality i.e. with sound delay, and it is not available on mobile.

• Can I connect my headset using both USB-A and USB-C?

Yes. You can choose between a USB-A or USB-C cable for Evolve2 50.
