This has been a highly requested topic; what is the difference between Jabra Evolve2 65 and Evolve 75? Which one is better? We answer those questions in this video and do a quick side by side mic test! Both units are UC and Microsoft Teams certified. Both offer connectivity to PC and mobile device. Both can be used via corded USB cable if you forget to charge! Before we dive into the video, lets take a look at the Jabra Evolve75 ans Evolve2 65 and what they feature.
Jabra Evolve 75
Features
World-class speakers and HD voice for crystal-clear calls and music
Superior ANC and integrated busylight to reduce noise and interruptions and increase productivity
Dual Bluetooth® connectivity to two devices at the same time for calls and music and wireless range of up to 100ft/30m from your connected device
Give your concentration an added boost with the Evolve 75. If you spend a lot of time walking the corridors, the noise-isolating design of the Evolve 75 makes it a great choice, and the added boost from Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) allows you to really focus when you need to. Stop interruptions before they happen with a built-in busylight that acts as a do-not-disturb signal to your colleagues, letting them know when you’re too busy to chat. The light comes on automatically when you’re on a call, or you can also enable it manually when you’re trying to concentrate.
The Evolve 75 provides crystal-clear calls wherever you are. Professional-grade microphones and a boom arm give all of your calls over multiple UC platforms including Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco and 8×8 a competitive edge with crystal-clear incoming and outgoing audio – whether you’re sitting at your desk, walking between meetings, or grabbing half an hour in a break-out room – compatibility with multiple UC platforms keeps you truly flexible.
The battery in the Evolve 75 gives you all-day freedom, and then some. With up to 18 hours of talk time, you can roam as much as you like, without ever needing to worry about running out of battery in the middle of a call. And with the optional charging stand, your headset is always fully charged and ready for the day. Be available from anywhere with dual Bluetooth connectivity that allows you to connect your headset simultaneously to both your computer and your smartphone, so wherever you wander, you don’t have to worry about missing that all-important call.
Jabra Evolve2 65
Features
Binaural Wireless Headset with charging stand and USB-A dongle
Noise-isolating design
Up to 37 hours battery life
On-ear wearing style

Since the Evolve2 65 is UC-certified, collaborating is easy and everyone is happy, with both their Unified Communications (UC) platform and their headset. The headset works with all leading UC platforms and is optimized for Zoom for truly seamless communication. Evolve2 65 also has an MS variant, which makes it Microsoft Teams-certified with a dedicated Teams button.
Being that the Evolve2 65 features bigger speakers, a better chipset, and brilliant audio; you’ll never miss a thing, thanks to powerful leak-tolerant 40mm speakers and Jabra’s most advanced digital chipset ever, delivering outstanding audio that always keeps you in the loop wherever you’re working from. The Evolve2 65 also brings in noise isolation like never before. When you put on your Evolve2 65, feel the noise around you instantly fade, wherever you happen to be working from. Memory foam oval ear cushions and pioneering new angled design cancels 48% more of the noise around you.
The Jabra Evolve75 and Evolve2 65 both feature a busylight, but it’s improved here on the Evolve2 65, which also helps you zone in and focus whether distance learning or working remotely. The new and improved busylight on the Evolve2 65 is four times more visible, allowing you to be seen from every angle, for even fewer interruptions. So, wherever you need to work from today, at least you know you can work in peace. The Evolve2 65 is enhanced for all-day comfort. With soft leatherette ear cushions and a lightweight, flexible design, the headset is engineered to be comfortable enough to wear all day – from the first call of the day, to the last run-through with your boss before tomorrow’s presentation.

Now that you’re up to speed, lets talk about the test. There are a ton of similarities and differences between these two headsets, but which one comes out on top, the Jabra Evolve75 or Evolve2 65? Their output is nearly identical but choosing which one is based solely on your use case. Are you looking for more comfort? Go with the Evolve2 65. Do you want active noise canceling?

Today we’re revisiting the Jabra Evolve 80. We covered the Evolve 80 MS variant back in 2014 when it first launched. As part of Jabra’s Meet the Professionals line of solutions, the Evolve 80 is a great headset for the desk worker. For instance, someone who needs no interruptions and desires freedom to focus. As more people are working remotely or transitioning to hybrid work or remote learning; blocking out background noise to concentrate and focus is something more and more people are starting to realize is becoming a necessity or need in an optimal work environment.
The Evolve 80 features ANC (active noise cancelling) and a busy light for fewer interruptions plus what Jabra calls, ‘passive noise cancellation’, with the help of large over-ear cups eliminating high-frequency noise, such as human voices; coworkers or kids shouting in the background, the excellent passive noise cancellation, helps to dull the sounds of noisy colleagues thanks to specially-designed ear cushions.
Work is becoming less of a place you go to and more of a thing you do. If you’re someone who’s a remote worker or learning from home, can you relate? As more companies encourage their employees to work from home or from the road, demand for solutions that support this new form of working is higher than ever. At home, on the road or in the office, it is important to have reliable ways to connect, collaborate and communicate with others. The Jabra Evolve 80 is UC-certified and compatible with all leading Unified Communications platforms including Cisco, Zoom, Microsoft Teams and 8×8. The Evolve 80 is engineered to keep you versatile and connected. Furthermore, with flexible connectivity, you can choose between USB-A, USB-C or 3.5mm jack.
With easy call control, you can answer calls, mute your microphone and turn the volume up and down, without having to open your UC platform, or interrupt your work flow. This helps you stay productive, even when you’ve got a lot on your plate. Evolve 80 has professional-grade microphones and a boom arm for precision voice transmission, so your calls always sound crystal-clear, even when you’re sitting in the middle of a busy office. Take a look below at our mic test and overview of the Evolve 80 as we go more in-depth and subscribe to our Youtube channel for similar videos like these.

We have covered a few VDO products in the past, but nothing quite as interesting as this one. The VDO 360 SEEME puts out a surprisingly good 1080p picture, and a strong microphone pickup. With a sampling rate of 16KHz/48KHz and a Resolution: 1920*1080@30fps / 1280*720@30fps / 640*480*30fps, the $50 price tag is well worth it.

Compared to the 2See, the only thing you get is two extra microphones and an $89 price difference. You can almost get two VDO 360 SEEME webcams at that price! On the other hand, the 2see is used for much different use cases, therefore quality, FOV, and range will be a little bit better. However, for the average WFH employee, distance education student, and other general users, this is the webcam to go with.
Overall, we were blown away with the VDO 360 SEEME. Checkout the video below and see for yourself. If you like the video, don’t forget to give it a thumbs up, share, and subscribe! Feel free to leave a comment or suggest a new products for us to cover.

The EPOS Adapt Presence UC Grey is a Bluetooth headset with BT800 USB dongle designed for connectivity to computer and mobile device. This headset can be used in the office, while working from home, or whenever you’re on the go! In this video I put this headset to the test from a home office environment.
Before we hop into the video, lets go over the details.
EPOS ADAPT Presence UC:
3 noise-cancelling microphones and filtering technology, benefiting both speaker and listener
Up to 10 hours of narrowband and 8 hours of wideband talk time between charging
For headset, USB dongle and USB charging cable that fits easily into your pocket
The Adapt Presence comes in two variants Presence Grey UC which includes BT800 USB Dongle for PC and mobile connectivity. Then there is the Adapt Presence Grey Business that does NOT include dongle and is designed for pairing to mobile device only. Each option is solely based upon the way you work. What do you need to improve your call quality? Are you looking to travel on the go with it? These are all options to consider when choosing a specific variant.
In our most recent test, we found that the EPOS Adapt Presence UC doesn’t meet up to the established “82 ft”, but hits fairly close to it. If you’re looking to move on the go with it, you’ll need your paired device by your side. As for the microphone and sound quality? It’s very much what you would expect from EPOS. Clear, crisp, sound quality. There was little to no static interference while we used it. It’s a very comfortable, slick, and effective piece of tech at a reasonable price of $199.00 (For the UC version).
Check out our video as a part of our #12DaysofCallOne series. In this video we test, overview, and share opinions about the EPOS Adapt Presence UC. You don’t want to miss this! Continue here for more EPOS | Sennheiser solutions.

The year is 2020 and we’ve done virtually everything…virtually. The holidays are no different. Many will be celebrating physically apart connected via video meeting platform from Zoom, Microsoft, Cisco, Google, or other available options.
The focus of this blog will center around things to consider when selecting a webcam or camera to capture the moment this Zoomsgiving or other celebrations! Two key things to consider are the field of view (FOV) and audio. Celebrations will range from one to one, one to many, and many to many. In order to capture everyone in the frame, a wider field of view is optimal. FOV ranges from 54 degrees to 180 degrees depending on brand and camera model. Some brands offer software that allows you to adjust FOV and other settings to improve overall video quality.
Smartphones and tablets today have nice built-in cameras that can access multiple video meeting and conferencing apps like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, Google Meet, etc. Enjoy the moment by getting a stand or mount to hold the phone or tablet. Depending on where you position the smartphone, you may want to consider a Bluetooth Speakerphone to set in the middle of the table so everyone can hear and be heard.
Mobile image quality
Many laptops have built-in cameras, microphones, and speakers. The video quality may not be the best and almost always, the built-in audio in laptops is horrendously bad. It’s best to look at an external webcam and audio device for Zoom or Teams conferencing.
Laptop image quality
The new Logitech C505e offers a FOV of 60 degrees. (Watch Logitech C505e Video). This tighter shot is great for one person.
These cameras offer a wider field of view that can be adjusted via remote control or software:
Watch the video to see these cameras in action to see some of the best webcams and speakerphones for Zoomsgiving!
Lastly, you will want to look at a good USB or Bluetooth speakerphone designed to work with the various video meeting platforms and applications. Strongly consider a speakerphone that offers full duplex for more natural conversation. The new Jabra Speak 750 and Poly Sync 20 offer full-duplex audio while on Zoom calls!
https://calloneinc.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/Zoomsgiving-Blog-Header.jpg8001600Danny Hayasakahttps://calloneinc.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/logo.pngDanny Hayasaka2020-11-25 13:42:122020-11-25 14:53:05Best Webcams and Speakerphones for Zoomsgiving and other celebrations!
With more people working from home as well as the rise of remote learning, the ability for the headset wearer to block out surrounding noise via ANC speakers has become very important. Typically, the best ANC (Active Noise Canceling) comes from headphone style headsets. Additionally, they need to be compatible with leading business collaboration platforms from Microsoft, Zoom, Cisco, Google, and more!
The challenge? When comparing the best headsets, how well do the mics perform in a noisy home office environment?
