Why We Were Worried at Telrex
At Telrex, we approached the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex with a mix of excitement and scepticism. We had encountered past issues with lightweight headsets that compromised quality and durability.

One of our primary concerns was the headset's lightweight construction.
In the past, we had experienced flimsy headsets that felt cheap and fragile. We were worried that the Evolve 2 65 Flex might follow the same path. Additionally, we had reservations about its Bluetooth connectivity, battery life, comfort, and microphone quality. These were common pain points we had encountered with similar products before.
However, despite our reservations, we were determined to approach the testing process with an open mind. We knew that true assessment required thorough evaluation. We wanted to provide an unbiased review that would help our readers make informed decisions about their headset choices.

How does the Jabra Evolve2 65 Flex does in airplan
By: Peisia on 3 November 2023Hello, How does the Jabra Evolve 2 65 flex do on an airplane with its noise cancelling watching movie or listening to music?
Telrex Response
Hi Peisia, On an airplane the jabra evolve2 65 flex is quite a good option. While it doesn’t have ANC, the passive noise isolation can still help to some extent in reducing cabin noise. However, it might not be as effective as headphones specifically designed with ANC. Although they are a great option if you're tight on space in your bag or want a lightweight headset. If you want more of an effective option, I would suggest the Evolve2 85 or over-ear headphone style. These will be perfect for noise cancellation and watching movies or music; feel free to contact our experts for any other queries you may have.
