SHOWDOWN Jabra Evolve 75 vs Poly Voyager Focus 2 UC - LIVE MIC SPEAKER AND RANGE TEST!

[@helengomes3331]

The audio coming through from Jabra is more natural as opposed to Poly which sounded a bit mechanical. This video has been a savior. I've searched for good wireless options for almost 6 months now and was going nuts with the plethora of options out there. Your thorough review came to my rescue. Thank you again.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Helen, I'm glad you found our video! Let us know if we can help in the future.

[@jimmersonsar6070]

The amount of effort you put in for your video is really commendable keep the good work up love and respect from the Netherlands.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Jimmerson, that feedback means a lot because we're listening to all feedback and improving as fast as we can.

[@michellewavrick827]

This was incredibly helpful. Thank you! Bought the Poly and used your discount. :)

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Michelle, we appreciate you!

[@dottypottygaming4919]

I’ve watched a few of your videos which are so informative - thank you. I’m just really surprised that high end wireless headsets all sound tinny/compressed compared to very cheap wired alternatives. Is that just a compromise of using wireless that no-one has overcome yet?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thanks for your support! It's more so a matter of when microphone noise cancellation is added to any headset (wired or wireless), you sacrifice a bit of voice quality for the benefit of blocking background noise.

[@dottypottygaming4919]

So if you get a headset where you can turn noise cancellation off it would sound better? Thanks so much for your help, I really appreciate it

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

@@dottypottygaming4919 no headset we're ware of gives the ability to turn the microphone noise cancellation on or off. It either has it or it doesn't. You could consider a headset like here amzn.to/3Fu4TeS which gives very good voice quality but if you have background noise, that will be heard. If that's a concern adding noise canceling softwarel like neep.com would give you the best of both.

[@dottypottygaming4919]

Thank you so much for the advice. You guys are great!

Great demo - thanks for sharing. Noise cancelling was amazing - great tests

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thanks for watching, James! Which would you choose?

[@jamesware296]

@@HeadsetAdvisor I'd choose VoyagerFocus. I've been using the VoyagerFocus UC for a few years - it's amazing!

[@jsbedi]

As a fan of Focus, In this review I like Jabra more.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Wow! That's surprising. We though you'd say the Focus.

[@DB-fv4yn]

I have to agree; I think the Focus sounds better in a quiet environment, but WOW does the Poly ANC generate artifacts.

[@asing87]

I disagree about 10/10 comfort for Jabra Evolve 75. I have both. I just got the Focus 2. Like you said, it feels lighter on my head. It also feels better on my ears. The Jabra Evolve 75 put pressure on my left ear. It was leaving a mark/bump on my ear and headset earcup. I'll update you more if anything changes with Focus 2.

[@randybaguinon]

I feel that too... and yeah on the left ear as well.. I've had the Voyager Focus 1, and never felt this with 10-12hours of wearing.

[@asing87]

@@randybaguinon phew. I’m glad it wasn’t just me. I thought it was cause I didn’t read anything about jabra doing that. So far focus 2 is doing well.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Alexander, I can see your point. Both headsets are extremely comfortable but definitely the Focus UC 2 is the most comfortable headset we've tested so far.

[@asing87]

​@@HeadsetAdvisor Definitely! For the Focus 2 being about the same weight as t75, the Jabra Evolve, the Focus 2 feels a lot lighter. I think it has to do with the headband style/design. It gives it a lot less pressure at the top.

[@Champ313]

I have the Evolve 75 and thinking to get the Focus 2. I like everything about the 75 except for when I'm speaking I'm unable to hear myself as clearly/loud as I'd like therefore its a bit awkward. I tried using the "side tone" feature but its doesn't really sound like myself and to leave it off I have the awkward feeling. Do you feel when using the Focus 2 you can hear yourself clearer/louder versus the 75? Thanks

[@manuelacastrocamargo7092]

Thanks for the evaluation. It made my selection very easy as I am not an expert on this matter.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Glad we were able to save you time and help you make a better buying decision. If you have any video ideas you want to see in the future, let us know.

[@cyber7235]

Fantastic tests and review. Thank you.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thanks for watching!

[@DB-fv4yn]

I wanted to like the focus 2 BUT when the noise level increases the Poly ANC has more artifacts and the voice sounds more artificial than the Jabra. I had thought I had heard this before in another one of your reviews and this confirms it. I may still get the Focus 2 for build and feature set and since I work in a relatively quiet environment I think it will be ok

[@popaki9484]

Cool video thank you!! Does the evolve2 75 have the wired feature as well??

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Yes it does :)

[@andreasleuther6124]

# Do you have a hint which headset overall has the best noice canceling? # Thanks so much for this comprehensive test, I truly appreciate such an effort! I already use the Jabra Evolve 75 and looking for a headset with an even better noice canceling in regards of the mic. So that the person on the other side (nearly) doesn’t hear anything. What I learned from the video is that the Focus 2 is just slightly better when it comes to noice canceling. Can you give any hint which Headset could be a good fit? Thanks again! Andy

[@marcosalino4729]

Excellent review! Can you do a range test or share results if you have tried the range? I am deciding between E2 75 or 65 and I need them to be usable within a 20m range, including a couple of walls.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Marco, we've done a number of range tests and we found the range is typically 50-80 feet. It's very hard to know if it will give the range you need in your environment without trying it yourself. If you only need computer connectivity, the Engage 55 would be a better way to go to ensure you get enough range kzbin.info/www/bejne/o2SwfneMdtmIack

[@maikeru_pk]

David could you please make some more comparitions 1:1 with Focus 2? :) I'm curious how it presents versus 4220... 🤔

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

You got it!

[@alexandrsukhov500]

I have second Jabra evolve 75 and second time after 2 year it’s mic dies. It’s a great headset but this mic issue is pain.

[@idlewild]

I agree that the Poly is better at ANC and range, but for working from home in a relatively quiet environment, the Jabra is probably better as I find the voice clarity is much better on the Jabra. Listen to the cracking on the Voyager Focus 2 @24:26 and you can hear the wind when he's outside. The Jabra is also an older headset so I'd love to see the Evolve2 65/86 and forthcoming 75 compared to the Poly.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Thanks for watching and sharing your thoughts! 🐶

[@jsfbay1]

Can I assume that the UC dongle uses BT? So does that use up one of the two simultaneous connections? I want to connect to my PC, my cellphone, and my wireless landline phone. Is there any headset that can do this without wires to the PC? Thanks in advance and good review. I'm guessing you're already planning to test this new Poly Voyager Focus 2 against the Evolve2 75 whenever it comes out?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Jeff, yes the USB dongle uses Bluetooth. Also, yes this would use up one of the two simultaneous connections, so we don't believe you'll be able to connect with all three seamlessly.

[@jsfbay1]

@@HeadsetAdvisor - Thanks for the quick reply. Can you think of any headset that can do what I need? Is there any Bluetooth headset who's UC dongle for the PC doesn't use BT but instead some other type of RF connection? Thanks again.

[@fybyfyby]

Thank you for the test! What about sidetone and anc at the same time? Is it possible? For example new Evolve2 Jabras can't do that.

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Pepa, the Evolve2 65 doesn't have the ANC feature built into the speakers but the Focus UC 2 does have adjustable ANC you can customize and use sidetone at the same time. Another model to consider that also has ANC and sidetone that can be used at the same time is here kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXy3kHltarmnecU

[@fybyfyby]

@@HeadsetAdvisor Hi, thank you very much for recommendation, I will put it on my list. My concern with Jabra Evolve2 's is that on 65, sidetone function little like hearthrough - it passes in all sounds not only your voice. And on 85, ANC will turn off during sidetone and sidetone uses outer mics for capturing your voice and - sadly - sounds around you during sidetone ON. I read lot of posts that mentions it. Jabra stays away from it and cant give clear answer how sidetone should work on these models and if this is repairable software error or design flaw, which cant be repaired. And thats the reason Im looking elsewhere(I tried more 85 and 65 units and I cant make calls from home because of this). My biggest favourite is Voyager Focus 2. Or Jabra Evolve 75, which according to some users have better implementation of ANC during calls with sidetone. Thank you again for your recommendation.

[@fybyfyby]

@@HeadsetAdvisor Hi thank you for your advice ! I ended up with Poly Voyager Focus 2 and so far it seems like perfect device for me with exactly that sidetone I expected!

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

@@fybyfyby That's great to hear!

[@randybaguinon]

These 2 are for more personal use, it does the job... but if audio / communications is "mission critical" in what you do, I'd go for a DECT headset anyday. :)

@@HeadsetAdvisor something like that :) been working at home for the past 15 years... so I had to provide my own headset everytime. Had my share of headaches and learned on my own. Those people who just recently switched to working from home are lucky, because they now have your channel to guide (really helpful).

[@fouadbenmasoud7749]

Great informative video, the test approach is of great quality. Question regarding mic noise canceling quality: is there a difference between phone/laptop bluetooth vs dongle vs cable? Or is this mostly influencing voice and volume quality?

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

The noise canceling qualities would remain the same in all three of your examples. The reason is the noise cancellation is resident to the headset. So, no matter whether you're using it with a dongle, cable or wirelessly via Bluetooth, the NC capabilities remain the same. The same cannot be said for the voice quality however. In that case, I'd reverse your order by saying the best audio quality should be expected when hard wired, followed by dongle and finally Bluetooth. Hope this helps, and thank you for your question.

[@karthikrangaraj4475]

noise cancellation and range of Voyager is best

[@xavjee]

Hi David, You doing a great job with this kind of video's, i like it very much! I have a question, i am using a Jabra 85H ANC BT headphone, do you tested this one? I use it for MS teams and phone calls, but i recieve complains about background noises with this headset. Probaly because the mic has no ACN but only the speakers? I also recentley changed to an IPhone 11, and customers say that they hear me not clearly anymore. I do not have this problem when i using it with a Samsung S6 android smartphone. Based on the facts above, i consider to buy the Jabra Evolve 75 or the Poly Voyager Focus 2 UC. Most of the time i use it with BT with my Iphone with a sip client app. Do you think this should work better with one of these 2 headsets, and match on the expectations of your video? Is it in generally an idea to test office headsets BT compatibillity against different smartphones? I looking forward to your answer, many thanks!

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Maurice, thank you for your feedback and kind words! The Jabra 85H is a very good headset for personal use but isn't best for work related tasks like calls and video meetings. Either headset in this video will be a night and day better experience for callers on the other end to hear you clearly. No matter if you have an iPhone or Android phone, either headset will work great and we haven't heard any compalints with either phone being used. If you're in the US or Canada you can order direct from our website as well. If for any reason you don't love the headset you can return within 30 days and shippings covered both ways :) Don't forget to use coupon code KZbin headsetadvisor.com/

[@701malibu]

Are you able to advise if over ear or on ear is better people who wear glasses? I can't try on these headsets where I live and so it's a lot of money to gamble on. I'd really appreciate any guidance. I need to wear my headset all day every day and so this is very important to me. Many thanks. :-)

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Adrian, great question. Usually customers tell us when they wear glasses on the ear is better in comparison to over the ear. Both headsets in this video would be resting on the ear, rather than over the ear but the Focus UC 2 hands down is the most comfortable headset we've tested to date.

My secondary use will be for my iPhone (calls and music) and IPAd. Could you recommend the most suitable version? Thanks again for your reviews…best on you tube

[@HeadsetAdvisor]

Hi Dan, you'll want the UC variant. The only application you want to consider the Teams variant is if you're strictly using Microsoft Teams. Also, just because it's the UC variant, it will also work with Teams in the future if you were to ever switch.

​@@HeadsetAdvisor Soooo... Maybe I suprice you but I think that Jabra is a way better than Poly for me from this two. What's more, I think, that is the best headset in this time on the market. Jabra mic quality is significantly better - it's reflect very precisley how my voice sound live. Seccond advantage is that sidetone works best from any other headset which I tested (I think already all of most popular :P). What's give me some feeling of freedom of my ears :D And it has only one minus... are to small and I had to send them back :-|

Hey Headset Advisor, Which headset should i buy from these two ? Please consider music experience..

Hi Hindi, you really can't go wrong with either model so it's a hard one to fully answer. If you want the most comfortable model, the Focus UC 2 would be the way to go. Both are very good for calls and we'd say they're also both comparable in regards to the quality for music.

Oh my god. The "Poly Voyager Focus 2 UC" is an absolute joke for the price. I bought it and have it here. Microphone sound Quality is very very bad. The ANC makes noise, and doesn't cancel any outer noise (disabling it makes the headset quieter). And you always hear yourself when you speak and you can't disable it -> Google for "Sidetone". I could live with the useless ANC, but the microphone sound quality is unbelievable for that price.
