Review: Jabra Evolve 75e MS

2018-03-13 2 min read Review Erwin Bierens

This week I had the possibility to test the new Jabra Evolve 75e MS, a wireless earbud design. And I must say I like the design.

Some quick info on this headset:

  • Stereo-earphone headset;
  • Bluetooth connector, no cords to the headset;
  • Busy light for your colleagues;
  • Microphone only on right side;
  • Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) switch;
  • List-in function;
  • Vibrator for incoming calls;
  • Magnetic earbuds.

It will take only 2 hours for fully charge of the headset and you will have up to 14 hours of battery life.
