Jabra Evolve 40 Professional Wired Headset, Stereo, UC-Optimized – Telephone Headset for Greater Productivity, Superior Sound for Calls and Music, 3.5mm Jack/USB Connection, All-Day Comfort Design

I use this headset for teaching online, and my students immediately noticed the sound improvement compared to my old one. The audio is clear on both ends. I’ve even taught from busy cafés, and my students could still hear only me. It’s comfortable to wear for hours and works with both USB and 3.5mm jack. Totally worth it

Nothing more to say about these then BUY THEM. I have gone through countless headsets for my home office. I work full time at home and conference calls are apart of my daily and hourly routine. I have paid for the cheap ones and bought some higher priced ones and none of them lasted or the quality was so bad that people I was talking to were complaining. I have had these for about a year now and wanted to wait to write the review after I could give them an honest rating. They are extremely good quality. The cord doesn't tangle and is made of a high-quality coating. The microphone pics up crisp and clear and doesn't include background noises. Once these finally die I will be buying another set from Jabra.

The headset comes with standard 3.5mm stereo headset jack and USB sound card with volume control and very useful travel pouch.Works really well with and without the USB sound card - in windows 7,10 and Linux (Ubuntu 18.04, openSuse 15.xThe USB sound card does not need any drivers in Linux - it is completely hassle free.Windows might need to install a driver, in my case it happened auto-magically.I wish the cable would be softer and 1" longer - for this alone, I would recommend the cheaper Evolve-20 headset.The bad - the headphone 3.5mm jack connector on the USB sound card is mechanically keyed, so it does not accept different headphone jack. This is nasty, it spoils and reduces value of otherwise excellent product. Who in .. thought that this is good feature for any customer.

I use this every day for work! It works great with both my cell phones (I have an Android for personal use and an iPhone for work use) and I haven't had any issues with call quality. I generally have to repeat myself multiple times over the phone because I have a soft voice, but the microphone on the headset is great and since starting to use it, I have not had one complaint from anyone not being able to hear me. The headset itself is a little big for me, even on the smallest setting, but I have a small head so I'm used to that. I love that the microphone folds up and secures to the headset so you can use these as normal headphones when not on a call. I struggle with ear buds (tiny head=tiny ears), so having this cushioned over-the-ear set is a huge relief.

I use my cell phone quite a bit when working from home. Over the last year I must have gone through 5 different sets and they all disappointed me. On some, the sound quality through the single or dual head phones was crappy. On others the head phones were ok, but the mike was lousy with people complaining about the sound quality of me speaking.After a year of searching and returning a number of pairs, these are ABSOLUTELY the best I've found. Sound as heard through the headphones in stereo is top notch, and people on the other end comment that the sound quality was excellent. And, very comfortable to wear.I would highly, highly recommend them for anyone needing a high quality headset.

If it were reliable this product would be great, however an 80% failure rate in the first two years is terrible. There is obviously a fatal design or manufacturing flaw in these. Since I bought the five of these over a period of about 6 months, it isn't just one bad batch. Otherwise, the headphone is quite nice and it's great having a separate USB adapter you can unplug the headphone from so you can plug the headphone into your phone. The sound quality and comfort are very good and it picks up fairly little background noise. But there's no point in buying them if they just fail over and over, And the failures were in different PCs so it's not one PC with a rogue USB port that zaps them. UPDATED 2021-03-15: The 5th of 5 USB adapters just died, so it is now a 100% failure rate. Ridiculously bad. But I found a $12.99 USB adapter from KOOPAO on Amazon so hopefully I can still use the headphones.

Definitely a good purchase. The headset fits well, Windows 10 immediately identifies the device when connecting via the USB and loads the driver. Headset comes with quick visual instruction book, to show you how to operate the controls. It also comes with a zippered fabric storage pouch. The audio reception is excellent, and the audio to the audience is excellent. Definitely straighten the red audio lead before you don the headset; it is heavy and well-constructed, but will curl if you don't straighten it beforehand (and a curled cable can be distracting).

I bought these to use while teaching my “hybrid” high school classes through Google Meet. Google included this model on a list of headphones that work best with Meet. My students were thrilled with the improvement in the quality of my voice and the canceling of the noise from air cleaners in my classroom. I can hear them much more clearly, too. These are comfortable even after hours of wearing. I’ve started using them with other videoconferencing platforms, and the experience is similarly excellent.
