hello. Doldae The product we are reviewing today is a PC headset called Jabra USB PC Headset Evolve Special Edition.
Jabra is a professional sound brand from Denmark’s GN Group with a 150-year tradition. We have grown into a global brand by accumulating technology and experience over a long period of time.
We sell a variety of audio devices such as Bluetooth earphones, headsets, and speakerphones, and in addition to audio devices, we also sell products such as webcams.
The Jabra USB PC headset Evolve Special Edition that we are reviewing today is a PC headset that is light in weight and can be used by people of all ages. So let’s see how good it would be.
In addition to high-quality sound, we paid attention to convenience such as noise-canceling microphone and PeakStop technology. (Product DB description)
Jabra USB PC Headset Evolve Special Edition is a regular headband-type PC headset without a head frame.
It is equipped with a 28mm driver and supports HiFi sound to provide high quality sound.
The microphone is equipped with a noise-cancelling microphone, enabling conversations with clear sound.
PeakStop technology is applied to protect your hearing by blocking sudden loud noises.
It is very light at 174g. Thanks to this, it is suitable for use by anyone, regardless of gender or age, including children.
Currently (2024.01.06) it is being sold for 82,000 won at the Jabra flagship store Play Window Store.
It was delivered in light packaging. (Check product delivery status)
Inside the box packaging, there is a notice for the experience group first, and underneath it, the product is wrapped in 2-3 layers of bubble wrap.
This is what the product packaging looks like. There is no product box, but instead it is packaged in a zipper bag. Still, it’s a bit expensive, but it’s a shame there’s no product box.
The only thing written is a warning.
We have taken care of convenience such as a unit that can be folded at 90 degrees and an intuitive remote control. (Description of product appearance, features, and components)
This is a component of the product. There is a headset body, a brief manual, and a precautions manual.
The simple instructions are simply explained with pictures. It’s not a product that needs much to explain, so I think this is a sufficient explanation.
There is a tag attached to the headset, and the cable is also wrapped in a zipper bag. Everyone will remove it and use it.
This is what the headset looks like. The overall design is matte black, but the edge of the ear cups has red accents.
Most of them are made of plastic material.
The headphone unit can be rotated 90 degrees like this. When you turn the unit 90 degrees, it becomes flat like this, making it easier to store or carry.
The headband is thin and small in width.
This is the connection between the headband and ear cups. The length of the connection can be adjusted by stretching it with force.
The internal frame when pulled out is also made of plastic.
This is the outer part of the ear cup. The pattern is just a Jabra logo in a circle. I think it’s better because it doesn’t stand out too much.
This is what the ear caps look like. These are flat ear caps with no interior inserts.
It has a circular shape, and like regular ear caps, the edges are made of artificial leather and the inside is made of natural leather.
The ear caps are approximately 6cm in diameter and approximately 1.5cm thick.
Because the ear caps are small, your ears cannot fit inside the ear caps. So I think they just used flat ear caps. In the first place, you have to wear it as if you are just putting it on your ears.
The ear caps have a slightly tilted structure, and the tilt direction changes 360 degrees. Thanks to this, I think it will be able to fit each person’s different head shape a little better.
The cable connection area appears to be firmly and well finished. The microphone is initially integrated with the ear cup.
This is Mike. It is a straight microphone that is not flexible and curves very slightly inward.
It is about 12cm long.
There’s something unusual about the microphone. The point is that the microphone rotates up to 270 degrees. Not only can you freely adjust the height up and down, but you can also flip the microphone backwards so that it comes out of the earcup on your right ear.
This is what the remote control looks like attached to a cable. It has a circular shape and consists of four buttons.
There are mute, volume up, volume down, and call answer/end buttons, and they are easy to operate by just pressing them.
The remote control is well marked and is button-type so you can just press it, which is nice and intuitive.
It’s a cable. The outer material of the cable is rubber.
The length is approximately 223cm.
This is what it looks like when connected to a PC. Because there is no LED or not, there is no significant change in appearance when connected.
Thanks to its light weight, it is suitable for wearing for a long time. (Description of product fit)
This is the fit of the product. Because the ear caps are small and flat, it is an on-the-ear wearing style where the ear caps are placed on top of the ears rather than inside the ear caps.
The ear caps are soft and the pressure is very light, so your ears don’t hurt at all. However, because it feels like it’s being layered, the sense of sealing is slightly reduced.
And usually, this on-the-ear wearing style has a structure that allows external noise to enter, but the Jabra USB PC Headset Evolve Special Edition has good passive noise cancellation. They say this is thanks to the specially designed ear cushions.
Best of all, it is very light in weight. The weight of 174g can be seen as the weight of almost not wearing the headset.
It has such a light weight that it is very advantageous for wearing for a long time, and is suitable for use by people of all ages, including children.
Supports software that allows immediate firmware updates. (Description of product’s dedicated software)
Jabra USB PC Headset Evolve Special Edition supports dedicated software called Jabra Direct. Jabra website (you can download it.
When you first open the software, it will search for your device and launch it. Device settings support various settings, including sound tuning settings.
Firmware updates are also available. If there is firmware that can be updated, you can immediately check it and update it directly through the software. It’s nice to be able to easily update the firmware without having to go to the website and look for it.
The low and mid-bass sounds are slightly emphasized, giving a grand feeling. (Product pitch description)
I listened to music.
The pitch is slightly emphasized in the low and mid-bass sounds. The low and mid-bass parts tend to resonate, giving a grand feeling.
There is one thing that is disappointing: the basic volume is rather small. You have to turn up the volume a lot to listen to it.
I watched videos and lectures. The video gives a good sense of realism, and the online lectures are great for studying because you can hear the instructor’s words clearly.
I like games, so I played a variety of games. Because the bass and mid-bass are emphasized, the impact and grand sound have the advantage of being heard vividly.
However, since it is not a product specialized for gaming, the sense of direction of sound is not very clearly distinguished.
Thanks to the noise-canceling microphone, you can have clear conversations. (Product microphone test)
I also tested whether the microphone recording worked well.
The voice recording was done cleanly. This would be good for tasks where two-way communication is important, such as video conferencing.
However, if there is a loud external noise, such as the sound of typing on a blue keyboard, this noise may be heard a little. I think this should be used with caution.
