- STEPHEN ROSE: All right. The first of our two headsets this week is the Jabra Evolve 2 Series 85. Comes in this really nice case. So let's see what we have in here. We, of course, have the headphones. We also get a USB-C cable, airplane adapter, USB connector, and an AUX cable-- that's great if you're going to be on a plane and want to listen to movies and don't have the opportunity to do something wireless. Now with the headphones, they crack open very nicely. They crack into place. What's great about these is that dedicated Teams button. We have a speaker, sorry, microphones here. We have our power and our Bluetooth connect, USB-C, the AUX cable, and then our volume up volume down and ANC, which is the noise canceling. One of the other nice things about this one is you can leverage and use these this way, or if you're a boom talker and like to use a boom, there was a boom that comes out. There is a mute button right here on the edge of the boom, which is really nice. What you can do is if you want to answer a call, you can simply just pull that down, turn here on the call when you're done, you can do it that way. Or you can, of course, just use the call buttons that are built right here onto the device and not bring the boom down, but you do have the choice. Also what's nice is these do light up red on the outside when you're on a call and this will light up purple when you have a Teams message or a Teams call. Sold separately, if you don't just want to charge off the cable does come the dock, which is really nice. So when you're not using them, you can place them in the dock. And as you can see, those are charging right up, or you can just plug directly into the USB-C port to recharge. All right, let's take a look at the Bose 700 UC. Once again, really nice leather case. Open that up. We have our Bose headphones. So we'll move those aside. We also get a USB-C cable that we can use to charge the device, separate AUX cable for watching movies. And we have that dedicated USB adapter. So taking a look at these, these also have the dedicated Teams button, so we can see down here at the bottom. There it is. We do have our Bluetooth and our power buttons. There's the USB-C port for charging. We have microphones all around. So one, two, three, four different microphones to pick up sound. One of the things that I really like about these is the touchless controls. So you have a volume up and volume down. You have forward if you're listening to music and you have tap that you can use both for pausing and ending calls. So you don't have buttons to do that, that can done with just a simple tap. Really nice fit and finish on these. But no boom like the Jabra has. So if you're a boom fan, you may find that the Jabras work better than the Bose. If you're more of a music purist, or you really like the idea of the touchless controls, the Bose are going to be great for you. Let's take a look at our comparison slot. Bose 700 has 20 hours of battery life. The Jabra Evolve tap out around 37 hours. Both have got quick charge capabilities: 15 minutes will get you 3 1/2 hours with the Bose and eight hours with the Jabra. Both have dedicated Teams button. The Jabra does have that purple ring light that will show up if it's a Teams call and the 360 degree busy light that turns on when you're on a call. The Bose though does have multiple levels of noise canceling. The Bose have touch controls, but as opposed to the button-based controls on the Jabra. Both also supply 3.5-millimeter jacks. Both of these can be used with a Mac or a PC or mobile devices, iPads, et cetera. But if you want to adjust sound quality, things like that, you'll need to use the Bose mobile app while Jabra both has a mobile and desktop app for Mac and PC. So you could use either of those. Bose works with Google and Alexa, Jabra with the Siri and Google Assistant. The Bose though are considerably lighter coming in at 8.9 ounces versus the 10.8 with the Jabra. Bose, you can get an optional charging case. The Jabra have that charging stand which we showed. Jabra come in black, the Bose multiple colors, including white, silver, Rose gold, black, et cetera. Both are awesome devices with dedicated Teams buttons, and pretty near the same price point for each of them. It really depends on your style. If you have a brand preference and how you're going to be using these. If you're a boom mic fan, et cetera, what is going to be the best fit for you? But if you're using Teams, both of these are awesome headsets and we encourage you to check them out.
