Description

Over-ear fit for long periods of focus

Jabra Evolve3 85 is an over-ear wireless headset weighing 220 grams. Instead of a boom arm, six digital MEMS microphones pick up the voice, with more than 96% voice pickup accuracy for AI. The headset also has wind noise reduction.

Noise under control, surroundings on demand

Jabra Advanced ANC with Adaptive technology reduces ambient noise, and HearThrough mode lets the surroundings in without taking the headset off. The busylight tells others that the user is on a call. The speakers are 32 mm, with a 20 Hz to 20 kHz range for music.

Up to 120 hours of music and a 3.5 mm cable in the box

The headset lasts up to 25 hours of talk time with ANC and busylight off, up to 21 hours with both on. Music lasts up to 120 hours without ANC. Ten minutes of charging gives up to 10 hours of music. It charges via USB-C cable or wirelessly, and a 3.5 mm cable for wired listening is also in the box. The battery is user-replaceable.

⚑ atlantis note

Which code to order

Four things decide, all of them at the time of order. MS or UC version, adapter connector by the laptop ports, colour and wireless charging pad. Black codes ending in -989 and -889 have the pad in the box, codes ending in -898 are Warm Gray.

The pad is not required for wireless charging

The headset supports wireless charging with all ten codes. If the pad is not in the box, it can be ordered separately, 14203-08 with a USB-C connector or 14203-09 with a USB-A connector.

Certification by variant

Microsoft Teams certification, Microsoft Open Office certification and Teams notifications on the LED vary by variant. The headset also works with Zoom and Google Meet. If the customer requires Teams or Open Office certification, we will confirm it for the specific code with the order.

Who it is for

How it differs from Evolve3 75	Evolve3 85 is over-ear, weighs 220 g and lasts up to 25 hours of talk time; Evolve3 75 is on-ear, weighs 180 g and lasts up to 22 hours

Good fit

Users who need long periods of focused work in a noisy space. Hybrid work between office and home. Users who do not want a boom arm and value long battery life when listening.

Check

Whether the customer requires Microsoft Teams or Open Office certification. Which ports the laptops have, for the adapter connector. Whether they want Warm Gray, which comes with USB-C only. Whether the user is comfortable with an over-ear fit and 220 grams.

Consider another model

Evolve3 75 with an on-ear fit and lower weight. Evolve3 65 or Evolve3 45 with a boom arm for all-day calls. Evolve3 65 Flex for work on the go, it is foldable.

Management and services

Jabra Direct: the manufacturer's free application for Windows and macOS. It updates firmware, adjusts device settings such as sidetone or hearing protection, and handles call control in softphones.
Jabra Plus: cloud management of Jabra devices for IT, that is scheduled bulk firmware updates, configuration, status monitoring and inventory. Support and the scope of management differ by model, so check both with us for the specific device and deployment.

atlantis services for partners

atlantis is a direct importer and distributor, and we supply through a network of specialist partners. The services below are therefore offered to the partner, not to the end customer. The partner sets the scope, according to their own capacity and skills, from a consultation alone to taking on the whole deployment.

Before the decision: a consultation on the model and the order code and a comparison of the suitable variants. We base the recommendation on the user's role, because a contact centre agent, a manager on the move and a shared workstation each need a different headset. We arrange a sample to try so the customer can check comfort, audio and range before ordering for a whole team.
Deployment and configuration: bulk settings and management of the headsets, connection to the communication environment, and advice on linking third-party software and hardware.
Training and documentation: training prepared to match the user's role, plus preparation of the user documentation.
Service and support after the sale: our certified team in Czech, available to the partner throughout the equipment's life. We handle a warranty claim with the manufacturer on the partner's behalf.

The standard Jabra warranty on this product is 2 years from the date of purchase.
