Jabra announces hybrid-working professional audio equipment

New Delhi : Jabra, the industry standard in professional audio, has released updated models of its industry-leading headsets and conference speakers to accommodate the needs of today’s hybrid workforce. The Jabra Evolve line now includes the mid-range Evolve2 50 and Evolve2 55 headsets, as well as the premium Evolve2 65 Flex. Meanwhile, the Jabra Speak2 75, Speak2 55, and Speak2 40 are mobile, future-proof additions to the industry-leading Jabra Speak family of professional speakerphones.

Taking hybridization to the next level with the Evolve2 series

The latest Evolve2 headsets are designed to give users the upper hand by equipping them with high-quality tools that safeguard their concentration zones and let them conduct calls and participate in meetings anywhere. In addition, the sound is tuned for both business and music usage, so you won’t have to swap headsets when you take a break.

The foldable hinged headband, smaller ear cups and retractable boom arm of the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex set it apart from other headphones. Beamforming Jabra ClearVoice microphones for the open workplace and a robust chipset ensure that users will be heard well, even in noisy environments. In addition to the best-in-class* Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) provided by the processor and noise-cancelling technology, the snug fit provided by the memory foam earcups effectively blocks out almost all ambient noise. This headset is designed to be used for extended periods of time without causing any discomfort due to its incorporation of Jabra Air Comfort technology and flexible earcups that swivel to move with the user.

In addition to the cordless Evolve2 55, Jabra is also releasing the wired Evolve2 50, both of which include Active Noise Cancellation (ANC). The headsets have strong ANC thanks to their proprietary acoustic chambers, 28mm drivers, speech-separating circuitry, and dual high-quality microphones.

All products are certified for all leading virtual meeting platforms, like Microsoft Teams, Google Meet and Zoom.

Making hybrid work life sound better with the new Speak2 range

The new Speak2 range is engineered specifically to meet the need for an intelligent speaker that is built to handle anything a busy hybrid working day throws at you – whether it be conference meetings, direct calls, streaming media, presentation or other. For all meeting participants to not only feel heard, but also listened to, the Speak2 range is engineered to go beyond standard speakerphone performance, and a full duplex audio.

The Jabra Speak2 75 is like a boardroom in your pocket, being the only speakerphone in this range to feature a custom-designed Microphone Quality Indicator. The 360-degree light ring shows users how well their voice is being picked up by the microphones, giving users the reassurance of true professionalism from wherever they may be working. This speakerphone includes an advanced full range 65mm speaker, offering a dramatically more powerful audio experience and ultimately resulting in much more efficient and productive meetings.

For those who like choice, use the USB cable for a direct line with the Speak2 40 or go wireless with the Speak2 75 or Speak2 55. The Speak2 range ultimately offers, professional, pocketable, and portable devices packed with the latest technology. Each Speak2 product is also designed to work with all leading virtual meeting platforms, meaning users can participate confidently in calls and meetings from any location, without the worry of poor audio quality or connectivity issues.

Peter Jayaseelan, Vice President & Managing Director – South Asia and Head – Public Sector (APAC), Jabra says, “At Jabra, we are constantly striving to provide innovative solutions for today’s evolved consumers who are in search for comfortable, flexible, and easy to use devices for both work and music. We do understand the importance of sound clarity that gives the freedom to work from anywhere. This is exactly why we are thrilled to announce range of pro-grade solutions that will enable professionals to stay and connected and productive, ensuring they can rely on them day in and day out. Particularly with the foldable version, everyone will have the ability to look, sound and be professional, working from anywhere.
