Jabra Evolve2 30 SE Review

Jabra Evolve2 30 SE Review

Voice & Mic Clarity 7.8/10

A two-mic boom combines an analog MEMS mic with an ECM, built for clear voice in moderately noisy spaces.

However, positioned properly in an open office, I’d expect callers to find it clear. That beats every boom-less headphone here at a fraction of the price.

The boom’s mix of analog MEMS and ECM is tuned for speech, not music recording, and it stays out of the way when raised. Busylight on the Teams variant is a small LED cue that stops colleagues tapping your shoulder mid-call.

• Boom Mic Yes (boom arm)
• Mics 2

Comfort & Ergonomics 9.7/10

At 125 g, this is the lightest headset in our lineup, with leatherette cushions and a stainless steel band. It comes in stereo and mono, and mono suits agents who need to hear the room.

Over a long shift, I’d expect on-ear pressure to show only after a long shift.

Mono and stereo variants share the same 125 g chassis, so picking mono doesn’t save weight — it just leaves one ear free for the room. Leatherette pads clean easily between shifts, which matters on shared hot-desk headsets.

• Weight 125 g
• Cushions Leatherette

Certification & Controls 9.3/10

The Evolve2 30 SE is listed as Microsoft Teams (variant), Alcatel-Lucent, Avaya, Cisco, Unify, Mitel, Citrix. It has a busy light, which is useful at an open desk.

Call controls include Microsoft Teams notifications on LED. On-headset controls are listed as Call control unit. IT can manage it through Jabra Xpress. I’d look for a physical mute I can find without thinking, especially in an open office.

• Busylight Yes

Build Quality & Durability 10.0/10

The Evolve2 30 SE is built with stainless steel. The ear cushions are leatherette. It weighs 125 g. Official dimensions are 179 x 136 x 54 mm (stereo).

It ships with a felt pouch. The listed warranty is 2 years. I’d rather have replaceable pads and a solid frame if this is going to be a daily work headset.

Sound Quality

Jabra uses 28 mm drivers here, tuned from 100 Hz to 12 kHz in speak mode, and SafeTone 2.0 guards against sudden loud sounds on calls.

Voices sit slightly forward, which suits contact centres. Plug it into a softphone and audio is live in a moment, with nothing to install.

SafeTone 2.0 caps sudden spikes from the softphone, which contact-centre buyers care about as much as clarity. Music mode opens to 20 Hz–20 kHz when you’re not on a call, though the 28 mm drivers won’t replace a proper headphone for listening.

Noise Cancelling

There’s no active noise cancelling. The on-ear cushions give only light passive isolation.

In a busy office, I’d estimate surrounding chatter still arrives at a reduced level. If you need real quiet, the Jabra Evolve2 55 adds ANC.

Passive isolation is all you get, so desk fans and hallway noise still leak in. For agents who need to hear the floor, that can be a feature; for deep-focus work, step up to a model with ANC.
