Evolve 75e brings earbud design, Active Noise Cancelling and ‘busylight’ to the workplace
Copenhagen - Jabra, a leader in professional communications and sound solutions, is extending its market-leading Evolve range of headsets for professional use with the Jabra Evolve 75e – for the rst time adding an earbud design to the range which has sold over 2.5 million units worldwide.
Since the launch in 2014, the Evolve product range has been engineered to enable focus
and distraction free working. Jabra established that the biggest inhibitors to the productivity of o ce workers are noise and interruptions. Research unveiled that the majority of today’s exible workers (78%)1 say their personal productivity at the o ce is impacted by noise.
erefore, the Danish sound experts were
the rst to introduce Active Noise Cancelling (ANC) and busylight into the o ce. e Evolve 75e’s design brings a familiar consumer design into a professional environment and still includes all the winning signatures of the Evolve range: wireless freedom, great sound, UC- compatibility, ANC and busylight.
e earbud form factor power bundle is the ultimate business tool for sound and freedom helping to maintain collaboration, concentration and productivity in busy, open place o ces without the need for designated quiet rooms.
ENABLING FOCUS AND DISTRACTION FREE WORKING Bluetooth stereo earbuds are amongst the
fastest growing consumer electronics category2. Employees looking for solutions that enable focus and distraction free working, are increasingly seeking this wearing style for
both their professional and personal use. As it stands, every three in ten (31%) business professionals wear earbuds in the workplace3.
e Evolve 75e have been designed to meet this development by leveraging Jabra’s unique microphone expertise, dispensing with the boom arm for the microphone but retaining professional grade call quality.
e around the neck wearing style
o ers exibility and mobility – improving collaboration in the o ce and giving exibility to those who make work calls both inside and outside the o ce.
With the standard Jabra Evolve UC- certi cations to be ready at launch, the earbuds will ensure conference calls are of high quality and drive UC-adoption by seamlessly and intuitively bridging the gap between mobile phone and computer.
is announcement follows the successful launch of the Evolve 75 headphones earlier this year.
Now Jabra ensures a real choice for those looking for the same features and quality, but in earbud form, which is why this product is called Evolve 75e.
“ e Jabra Evolve 75e o ers a rst glimpse into the future of workplace sound solutions. e headset has been designed to meet the needs of today’s mobile and increasingly connected worker who demands the same
user experience from both consumer and professional solutions,” said Holger Reisinger, SVP at Jabra.
“Jabra’s innovative microphone technology, in combination with Active Noise Cancellation, allow for full concentration whilst delivering exceptional sound quality and enabling true mobile productivity. Probably the rst product of its kind, the wireless UC-enabled o ce earbuds are sure to drive the adoption of uni ed communications.”
