Thanks for the review. 04:35 when you plugged into the computer, I assume you are using USB? I can hear peaking and distortion, I am using an average Gamecon headphone to listen to this video. Were there adjustments you could have made to remove some distortion? Have you tried the mic with another device connected, like a phone? Purely based on the audio that came from the mic in your test, its a no for me, I am still looking.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Great questions. Depending which app on the computer you can do adjustments between the mic and speaker. Sometimes a few adjustments is all the difference. That being said, here's another comparable model to consider that many customers are using kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZDTlpmubMyCn5o

[@mmw22101973]

If anyone is wondering whether this headset is suitable for listening to music, I can confirm with full certainty that this is absolutely not. This is a headset for teleconferencing only.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Definitely

[@ZeroEntropy.]

You needed to show us the music in the room on the normal mic so we could see just how good it did. I mean, I can imagine but still, would have been nice to hear the real difference.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Dang! Thanks for pointing that out so we can improve.

[@i_am_eisa_]

The phone icon on the control when pressed also enables noise cancellation for the microphone

[@Ryan-rn7ck]

That is not true for this model.

[@TheJaiNetwork]

Would have been nice if you went over the “hockey puck” more. I’m trying to understand what hitting the middle button means and what the colors mean.

[@nae267_]

Lol same

[@robvermelis5698]

Thanks for the review!

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Anytime Rob!

[@SolitarySwede]

Thanks for the review! One question: Isn't this a headset that has been on the market for quite some time? Like 2014? I've seen a lot of review that has been made the last couple of weeks and I wonder why... I mean, why now?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

You're right the headset has been available for quite some time. I'm not sure why now we're all deciding to make reviews lol. That being said, when customers request reviews, we try to have them created and this was one of those requests!

[@ichiakoidogho]

Believe it’s on now because on the need, as a result of COVID and the lockdown people rely on laptop for communication as desk phones can’t be used from home. Traditional headsets don’t really cut it

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

@@ichiakoidogho What he said! ^ :)

[@TT-sr4mu]

Jabra invested some money in paid reviews..

[@4AlexeyR]

Thank for the nice testing. I see here is some possible improvement in my point of view. It's better to hear music with your voice together with camera mic before testing the heads.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thanks for the tips!

[@ЭразмисАннетский]

I have this one - the microphone is bad, like in this video :( Is such mic quality normal for headsets??

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Check out the video at the link below with 5 comparable models where you can hear the microphones. Let us know what you think. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mYbIgpejiaiem80

[@dreadpirateroberts4883]

Sir David and team...quick ask...will you add in a mention of cord length on this business/telecommuting category of headsets? Over the years, I've found that cord length is a big factor...especially if you're paying attention to how long you sit and stay immobile, and trying to minimize that. One big detractor for so many of the Plantronics/Jabra/Blackwire products is the super-short cord length. Thank you guys for all your hard work on our behalf!

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Easy adjustment for us to add in the future :) thanks for the feedback and support.

[@PauloJuarezPereira]

The review is precise, to the point, and very helpful. Thanks!

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thanks for the feedback, Paulo!

[@Anuu521]

Thank you for your review. I have got a locked jaw issue this headphone is not good for me . I have tried it and it causes pain after long wearing .

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Anu, maybe the headset at the video below would be better for you. kzbin.info/www/bejne/goPQhYCmj7uijMU

[@ichiakoidogho]

Nice review, the round (jabra) button on the control, what is the exact function?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

The Jabra logo isn't a button but around it will illuminate a light when on calls.

[@user-wf2el8bz3k]

there is a button on the control. you can switch on and off the light on the actual headset. The light automatically lights up, when you are in a call. When you are in a call and press the button the lights off the headset will go off. So you can use the light to show to your colleagues whether it is possible to speak to you / interupt you, while wearing the headset.

[@wildreams]

Thank you! Very informative.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for your feedback.

[@siddiqueahmed88]

Can we attach an external Creative Sound Card - G5 or G6 with 3.5 mm jack with this Jabra Evolve 40 USB (Type C)

[@abbyortega1350]

What is the Jabra middle button lights up red what does that do

[@bellalisah8174]

great advice but he really didn't show how to use the control button, in terms of the middle button with the word Jabra on it.......Like what does that button do ?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thanks for the feedback. The logo with Jabra on it isn't a button, but the other controls are volume, answer/end and mute/unmute.

[@Yusuf-tk2ge]

Is this plug and play or do you need to install any software to have the noise suppresion of the mic?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Yes this is plug and play to your computer and there's no app needed to have the noise cancellation in the mic. That being said, there's a software called Jabra Direct which may be needed in the future to update the headset.

[@christopheraritonang9252]

Which one is better, Ms 40 or Jabra 2400 duo?

[@behemoth0073]

Nice review. Thanks bro.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thank you!

[@edmareguia6957]

Nice review! Do you know the difference of jabra evolve 40 UC and jabra evolve 40 MS? Thank you!

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Edmar, there’s only a slight difference. The MS variant is more plug and play when connecting to Microsoft Teams. If you don’t use Teams, go with the UC variant.

Is there a wireless option like this?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Yes, the Evolve 65 would be the wireless version of this headset headsetadvisor.com/products/jabra-evolve-65-uc

[@tanas19]

Hello guys, great review!! I have one question about this product. If you unplug audio jack from usb adapter and connect another headset or mobile handsfree with audio jack and then on computer with usb it will works?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

In theory it should work but we haven't tested this out to tell you for certain!

[@Neo.555]

It works but problem is it has a proprietary design, so normal 3.5mm earphones or headphones doesn't fit. You can of course dyi but by breaking some bits 😂

[@Neo.555]

The headphone is while it's very very comfortable it's really flimsy and does a careful usage. It's a plastic build

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

@@Neo.555 Agreed. The new Evolve2 40 has a more durable build.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

@@Neo.555 Yes it’s designed for the USB adapter to be used with this headset only.

[@susancatchpole4585]

You said there are more comfortable headphones on the market. I teach on line for several hours a day and more than anything, I need comfort! Can you recommend a good set, with a mike

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Susan, option 1 kzbin.info/www/bejne/f2PXe2ioj66if6s or option 2 to consider kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZDTlpmubMyCn5o

Can you use these with a cellphone ?

[@yersonvalencia3398]

There's an annoying noise when you start talking through the Jabra headset, does it happen always?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

The audio in this video is unedited. Maybe you can compare against this model to see if there's any difference. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZDTlpmubMyCn5o

[@joaovpmazziero]

I'm using this headset more than one year now and the cover of one of the cushions is getting lose, does anybody have the same issue? It doesn't seem to be possible to put it back but looks like there is a glue or something inside but it's hard to check it

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Unfortunately when the cushions give, there's no replacement or fix we're aware of. Check out this video with a comparable model for you to consider in the future, and you shouldn't run into this issue with this model. kzbin.info/www/bejne/qZDTlpmubMyCn5o

[@johnnycordova5939]

Same happened with mine after about one year. The leather covering started peeling away from the foam padding beneath it and eventually fell off. So far I haven't found a reasonable fix. The factory replacements are ridiculously expensive.

[@lostworld5667]

How to disable the surrounding noise in this wired headset

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

If you're referring to the microphone, there's no way to turn on or off the mic noise cancellation. You could consider neep.com though.

[@stephanieleanne8200]

What is the jabra button for ?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Which one?

[@user-wf2el8bz3k]

there is a button on the control. you can switch on and off the light on the actual headset. The light automatically lights up, when you are in a call. When you are in a call and press the button the lights off the headset will go off. So you can use the light to show to your colleagues whether it is possible to speak to you / interupt you, while wearing the headset.

can it be modified to a single speaker ? ( one ear style)

What is the function of that red circle button?

It’s a busy light to let others around you know your busy on a call and not to interupt

[@علياوسكاار]

Do you benefit to play Xbox games?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Yes you can connect it to your Xbox controller with the 3.5mm plug but it won’t be comparable to a gaming headset.

[@wakaflockaproject]

This or the Blackwire c5220?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Check our other comment 😃

[@Free.Speech.]

Is it Bluetooth compatible?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

No, this is a wired headset. You would want the Evolve 65 or Evolve2 65 if you want wireless.

[@chriswale5462]

Sounds like there is bad distortion on the microphone :(

[@mxmang]

These things sound ok. Our whole fleet uses them.

[@camelCased]

Thanks for the review. Wondering if Sennheiser SC 160 or Plantronics Blackwire C5220 might be a better choice for me. When working from home, I want to hear my kid or my pets doing stuff around the house or the doorbell ringing, but I don't want others to hear it through my microphone. Some of these most popular headsets seem to be too closed which can make them too isolating or uncomfortable and sweaty when wearing all day long. Working as a programmer, I have so many calls discussing bugs, test results, pair programming etc.

[@jeffreyalanday7432]

Do not buy Jabra! Their 2 headsets literally fell apart after 5 years. The insulation of the cables crumbled. Infuriated I contacted the company. They said, "5 years is life of the device." I take care of my electronics and after 30 years of electronics ownership the Jabra were the ONLY devices to do that.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Jeffrey, thanks for sharing your thoughts.

[@supremecreme2661]
