Following the official announcements made earlier this month, Jabra has officially introduced the Evolve3 75 and Evolve3 85 headphones, targeting the high-end productivity market. Notably, the Evolve3 series brings a significant alteration from previous models—an update that may not sit well with everyone.
Changes to the Design
Unlike earlier versions, the Evolve3 series lacks a dedicated boom microphone. This change makes the Evolve3 resemble other high-end headphones much more closely. The headphones will employ a traditional multiple microphone system, complemented by advanced software and built-in intelligence aimed at eliminating background noise.
Features and Performance
Similar to other high-end headphones on the market, the Evolve3 includes adaptive noise cancellation. Other key features comprise Spatial Sound, replaceable batteries, and support for high-fidelity audio codecs (LC3, SBC, AAC), alongside wireless charging. The Evolve3 85, which is the over-ear model, boasts a claimed battery life of 120 hours for music and 25 hours for calls (with ANC switched off). In contrast, the on-ear Evolve3 75 is rated for 110 hours and 22 hours for music and calls, respectively.
Of course, actual battery life can only be confirmed through independent testing, but the reported specifications are certainly remarkable. There’s also fast charging technology available, allowing for 10 hours of usage from just a quick 10-minute charge.
Pricing and Availability
The Jabra Evolve3 85 will be priced at an MSRP of $649, while the Evolve3 75 comes in at $463. Interestingly, the black color option for both models will hit the stores starting March 1, while the warm gray variant will be released a month later. For those not looking to spend this much on headphones, the Sony WH-1000-XM5 is currently listed at just $298 on Amazon and could be a great alternative.
