Jabra announces new work-leisure Evolve3 headset series

Jabra has firmly positioned itself as a work-oriented, office-facing brand in recent years. Now, the company has unveiled its latest hybrid headsets — the Evolve3 85 and Evolve3 75. These combine high-end consumer audio features, sophisticated voice capture technologies, and a sleek, street-worthy aesthetic. Together, Jabra is returning to its roots with a jack-of-all-trades headset series suitable for both work and leisure.

The Jabra Evolve3 85 is an over-ear headset with an advertised battery life of 120 hours without ANC, or 25 hours of call time. Conversely, the on-ear Evolve3 75 lasts 110 hours without ANC, or 22 hours for calls. Charging the headsets for 10 minutes provides 10 hours of use, and they also support wireless charging. Most enticingly, both headsets sport replaceable batteries and ear pads. This is rare and excellent news for device longevity and a cleaner environmental footprint.

I had the pleasure of spending some hands-on time with prototypes of both headsets at CES 2026. What struck me most was the thoughtful design for portability. The flat surface on the exterior of the headphones enables wireless charging on any standard pad, which is pretty convenient. Even more impressive, when folded flat inside their travel cases, these are the thinnest cases I’ve ever seen for wireless headphones. They could easily slide into a bag, backpack, or airplane seat pocket without taking up much space.

As expected from Jabra, the Evolve3 series promises industry-leading microphone quality. This harnesses Jabra’s ClearVoice feature and deep neural network processing to isolate voices from background noise in real-time—no boom mic needed. The headsets also support adaptive noise cancelation, spatial audio, and AI voice prompts for completing tasks, issuing commands, or dictating messages on the go. This integrated approach allows you to take clear-sounding calls outside of the office without drawing the gaze of passersby.

Both Jabra Evolve3 headsets are certified for major UC platforms and ship with a pre-paired Bluetooth adapter for instant and secure connectivity. They also support Bluetooth Classic and LE audio with the LC3 codec. Downloading the upgraded Jabra Plus mobile app unlocks equalizer controls, wind noise reduction, and quick firmware updates. A desktop version of the Jabra Plus app is expected to launch later in 2026.

The Jabra Evolve3 85 and Evolve3 75 will be available in Black from March 1, 2026, for $649 and $463, respectively. Jabra will release a “Warm Gray” color variant in April 2026.
