Jabra Evolve2 55 Packaging
The headset shipped in a standard-looking package featuring an image of the product in front, its name, and company branding. Some features are in front, while others are at the back.
We have seen plenty of excellent packaging from other companies, but Jabra took things to the next level.
In this Jabra Evolve2 55 Review, we saw how well-protected the equipment was. The company ensured to protect the Evolve2 55 with a solid, two-piece cardboard container.
Jabra makes it clear that the cardboard they use comes from responsible sources. It only shows us that the company made a serious effort to consider the environment and reduce waste.
Other than the headset, here are the accessories available inside the package:
- Link 380 Bluetooth Adapter

Key Features of the Jabra Evolve2 55
This part of our Jabra Evolve2 55 Review focuses on the features offered by Evolve2 55. Are these elements enough to make you want the product? Continue reading to find out.
Optimised Comfort of the Jabra Evolve2 55
Usually, back-to-back meetings mean wearing your headset all day. So Jabra created the Air Comfort technology, which features redesigned ear cup cushions, to keep you comfortable.
This proprietary comfort technology from Jabra uses ultra-soft, perforated foam layers in the cushioned headband to reduce pressure buildup. In addition, air Comfort uses a new material and pattern to distribute pressure evenly. As a result, it has a light-as-air fit, so you will not feel the headset even if you wear it for long hours.
Aside from the comfortable headband, the Evolve2 55 has ergonomic ear cups to increase comfort. These rotate and move when you do, letting you focus on your work without interruptions.
With years of perfecting the Air Comfort technology, the engineers from Jabra deliver an excellent headset with top-notch comfort.
High-quality Conversations with Active Noise Cancelling
Powerful ANC technology suppresses background noise effectively. Moreover, it works with noise-compressing microphones for better voice transmission. As a result, you can enjoy crystal-clear communication.
Jabra ClearVoice for Intelligible Voices in Noisy Environments
Jabra ensures your voice will be perfectly audible, even in noisy locations. The company implemented ClearVoice, an advanced proprietary technology that combines top-notch algorithms, beamforming, and a multi-microphone system. As a result, this premium microphone delivers a precise balance between background noise cancellation and speech clarity enhancement.
By adding a microphone for hybrid, open offices, Jabra meets the demands of users with the Evolve2 55. This headset makes calls and meetings possible even in the noisiest environments.
Quick and Easy Plug-and-play
Use the pre-paired Link 380 USB Bluetooth adapter. With the adjustable boom arm and mute function, you can directly control your calls on the headset.
Collaborate Seamlessly with the Jabra Evolve2 55
You can choose between two variants when purchasing the Evolve2 55: Microsoft Teams-certified or UC (Unified Communication). The latter version is Zoom and Google Meet certified to guarantee a seamless collaboration experience. Furthermore, with optimisation for other UC platforms, you can rely on the headset and keep in touch with your team.
Excellent for All-day Work and Play
The Evolve2 55 can do almost everything. Its efficiency-boosting technology keeps you work-ready, while the busy light helps you stay focused. Plus, you can immerse yourself in rich-sounding music during a break between meetings. A single tap lets you use your preferred voice assistant for hands-free control.
18-hour Battery Life
The Evolve2 55 offers up to 18 hours of battery life, allowing all-day use without recharging. In addition, you can move away from the audio source while on a call since it connects wirelessly via Bluetooth.
Note that 18 hours is the longest time for its battery life before recharging. Therefore, results may vary depending on your use. We will further discuss this later in our Jabra Evolve2 55 Review.
Google Fast Pair for Convenience
Jabra made the Evolve2 55 convenient and lightning-fast with Google Fast Pair. You will receive a pop-up notification when the headset is in Bluetooth pairing mode and next to an Android device. Then, tap once on the prompt to pair the headset.
All supported gadgets on Android 6.0 and run Google Play Services 11.7+ can use Fast Pair. However, advanced features for personalisation and the Find My Device integration will only work with Android 10 and higher.
