Who would not want earbuds that have plenty of connectivity options? Also, if shifting between PC and Smartphones is a chore, we have the product for you. Checking our Jabra Evolve2 Buds Review introduces you to Evolve2 – a product with almost everything you need.
These earbuds have ANC (active noise cancelling), standard Bluetooth connectivity, and a USB-Bluetooth adapter. But as an almost all-in-one solution, can it solve leisure and productivity issues with Bluetooth? We put these earbuds to the test for this Jabra Evolve2 Buds Review to see how it holds up.
Jabra Evolve2 Buds Packaging
Our earbuds shipped in your typical-looking Jabra package sporting a grey theme with hints of yellow. You will find an image of the product with its name and the Jabra branding in front of the box.
Jabra shipped the Evolve2 Buds with a few accessories and items, which include the following:

Jabra Evolve2 Buds Review – Design and Functionality
These buds sport a premium black colour that blends nicely with its semi-matte finish. In addition, its body features a distinct shell-like contour, which is comfortable to the ears.
While writing our Jabra Evolve2 Buds Review, we noticed the company logo featured on the outer panels of the product.
These earbuds are comfortable, and we did not have issues wearing them for hours. We used Evolve2 during video call meetings and even while travelling back home.
The casual appearance of the product makes it stylish, unlike typical office headsets. It is advantageous since we do not have to switch earbuds after work.
We appreciate Jabra for giving it a compact size to fit the pockets. It also takes up less space in your bag, unlike standard headphones.
Jabbra Evolve2 Buds Controls
Compared to similar products, Evolve2 uses a push-button outer surface instead of capacitive controls. So, the buttons on each earbud have their own set of functions. Here are the button controls for each earbud:
Left Earbud
- Single Press – playback
- Double Press – skipping a track forward
- Triple Press – go to the previous track
- Three-second Hold – summons your voice assistant
Right Earbud
- Single Press – answers calls, opens Microsoft Teams, mutes the mic, or lets you view notifications.
- Double Press – ends/rejects calls, toggles between noise cancellation and transparency mode
To a degree, you can adjust the control layout via the app by shifting between modes. In addition, you can reassign gestures to various functions within the subsets.
During our tests, we found the controls convenient and user-friendly. It never felt like we had to push the product deeper into the ear canal to make them work.
Before we look into its performance, we will share details of its features in this Jabra Evolve2 Buds Review.

Hands-on with the Jabra Evolve2 Buds
We tested the earbuds for a week to provide detailed results in our Jabra Evolve2 Buds Review.
Using it the first time, we did not apply any EQ customisations. But despite this, Evolve2 produced excellent audio. Most phone calls and music were fantastic, and the earbuds did not disappoint.
It gave us clear, bass-focused audio tailored to your preferences, thanks to the adjustable EQ of the app.
The four-microphone MEMS lineup delivered top-notch clarity. Plus, the USB accessory helped maintain a stable connection during calls.
These elements make the earbuds an ideal option for those who shift between music listening and doing video calls. However, its ANC function does not match the performance of other similar products.
The Evolve2 Buds have optimised MEMS array microphones working with dual-bone conduction sensors in each earbud. As a result, it delivers excellent intelligibility.
We tested the Evolve2 Buds in voice calls and recordings. The product delivers excellent clarity, and everything is easy to understand. Although the volume is lower than our preferences, it captures more in the mid-range, making it adequate for intelligible communication.
Although its noise cancelling feature is not as perfect as other headset models, it works well in most situations. It reduces loud noises rather than blocking them completely and mutes most sounds in the environment. With its performance, the Evolve2 Buds are ideal for homes and offices.
The wireless Bluetooth connectivity of the Evolve2 Buds allows connecting two devices simultaneously. In our test, they work perfectly out of the box, even when we use different video conferencing platforms.
