I have been using the Evolve 65 UC Stereo for a long time. It works without any problems with all applications (Zoom, Music, FaceTime etc.) both wirelessly via Bluetooth and wired via USB to my iMac and MacBook. The sound quality is excellent.
There are 2 models of the Jabra Evolve 65 Stereo:
Jabra Evolve 65 UC Stereo (Bluetooth, Wireless, Avaya, Cisco)
Jabra Evolve 65 MS Stereo (Bluetooth, Wireless, Skype for Business)
The MS model is certified for Skype for Business (i.e. Lync). I don't know if the conventional Skype also works with it. In any case, the UC model does not work with Lync.
The scope of delivery includes the headset, the Jabra Link 390 Bluetooth USB-A adapter, a travel case, user documents, a USB-C to USB-A cable and a charging cradle. The charging station is also included with this model.
The charging station is not included in the standard delivery of this model. The headset comes with a USB cable for charging and connection, as well as a Bluetooth adapter.
Some versions or promotions may include a charging station, but this is not the case for the current standard reference.
The main difference between the Jabra Evolve 65 SE Mono and the Jabra Evolve 65 MS Mono lies in their compatibility and certifications:
## Compatibility and certifications
- Jabra Evolve 65 MS Mono: This model is certified for Microsoft Teams and offers a plug-and-play experience with Microsoft Teams. It supports functions such as auto-selecting as default audio device, answering and ending calls, adjusting volume and muting. It is also compatible with other Unified Communications (UC) platforms.
## Softphone compatibility
- Jabra Evolve 65 SE Mono: This model is generally certified for Unified Communications (UC) and supports various UC platforms such as Avaya, Cisco, Alcatel Lucent and others, but it does not have a specific Microsoft Teams certification.
In terms of technical specifications, such as battery life, range and audio quality, the two models are largely identical, as they are both part of the same product line. The main difference therefore lies in the specific certification and compatibility with Microsoft Teams.
The Jabra Evolv65 SE is equipped with a directional, noise-cancelling ECM microphone. Even though there is no DSP for filtering ambient noise, it works very well and can certainly keep up with headsets with digital signal processing.
Unless it's faulty, this headset works perfectly with MS Teams. We recommend that you install the Jabra Direct driver and check the sound settings in your system.
With Jabra Direct, the "Wired USB Audio" function can be deactivated on the headset setting level in the "Softphone (PC)" tab. USB is then only used for charging the device. This adjustment certainly brings an improvement.
Dirse's model is not wired, but can at least be charged via USB. The dongle supplied is an interface for audio and the signals are sent from the dongle to the headset via Bluetooth. Therefore, be sure to use the dongle, because it provides a stable signal and is therefore much better than any Bluetooth transmitter built directly into a notebook.
Hello Tanjfe
Yes, if you have plugged the dongle into your device, you can connect it wirelessly. That means it is connected when you plug it in.
Then select the audio output and the microphone in the audio settings and off you go.
