Jabra Evolve2 65 USB-C Stereo UC Headset w/stand Black - 26599-989-889

Product Overview

The Jabra Evolve2 65 USB-C Stereo UC Headset with Stand (26599-989-889) is a professional enterprise wireless headset designed for Unified Communications deployments on USB-C workstations where broad platform compatibility — across Zoom, Google Meet, Cisco Webex, Avaya, and Microsoft Teams — is required without Teams-specific firmware constraints. The USB-C Jabra Link Bluetooth adapter and USB-C charging stand included in the box make this the correct procurement choice for organizations standardizing on USB-C hardware without a single UC platform mandate. The 3-microphone pickup system, 40mm speakers, and 37-hour battery life support full-day commercial use, and the UC firmware maintains flexibility across mixed-platform enterprise environments where IT must support multiple collaboration tools simultaneously.

Product Description

The Jabra Evolve2 65 USB-C UC variant combines the full Evolve2 65 audio platform with USB-C connectivity and UC-wide firmware, targeting the specific deployment scenario where both conditions apply: USB-C-only workstations in service, and a multi-platform or non-Teams-primary UC environment. This combination — UC certification plus USB-C adapter — is the most flexible of the four Evolve2 65 Stereo SKUs, supporting the broadest range of UC platforms on the broadest range of current-generation hardware.

Audio performance is identical across all four Evolve2 65 Stereo SKUs. The 3-microphone array reduces background conversation noise by 23% versus the previous Evolve generation, with microphones at the boom arm and earcup providing multi-position pickup. Passive noise cancellation through angled memory foam oval ear cushions provides 48% more noise attenuation than standard on-ear designs — without active noise cancellation overhead — supporting all-day wear in open-plan offices, training rooms, and hot-desking configurations. The 40mm leak-tolerant speakers deliver wide-frequency stereo audio for calls and media.

Bluetooth 5.0 via the Jabra Link USB-C adapter provides up to 30 meters of wireless range and stable connectivity in RF-dense commercial environments. Dual Bluetooth connectivity maintains simultaneous pairing to the PC and a secondary mobile device. The 360-degree busylight activates automatically during calls. Battery performance reaches 37 hours, with quick charge delivering 8 hours from 15 minutes on the USB-C deskstand. Jabra Direct supports IT fleet firmware management, and Jabra Xpress enables silent enterprise deployment without end-user interaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I choose this UC USB-C SKU versus the MS Teams USB-C SKU?

Choose this UC variant when deploying to environments where Microsoft Teams is not the primary or sole UC platform, or where headsets must function across multiple platforms — Zoom, Cisco Webex, Avaya, Google Meet, and Teams — on the same workstation. Choose the MS Teams USB-C variant when the deployment is Teams-exclusive and native Teams button integration is required. The UC variant operates with Teams for standard call functions; only the dedicated Teams button behavior differs between variants.

Is the USB-C adapter compatible with Thunderbolt ports and docking stations?

The Jabra Link USB-C adapter works with USB-C ports and is generally compatible with Thunderbolt 3 and Thunderbolt 4 ports, as these are backward-compatible with USB-C. For specific dock and Thunderbolt hub combinations, Jabra's compatibility guide at jabra.com/compatibilityguide lists validated configurations.

What UC platforms are certified or confirmed compatible with this headset?

The Jabra Evolve2 65 UC variant is certified for Zoom and Google Meet, and is confirmed compatible with Microsoft Teams, Cisco Webex, Avaya, Genesys, and generic SIP softphones. The full compatibility matrix is maintained at jabra.com/compatibilityguide.

How does IT deploy firmware updates across a large fleet?

Jabra Direct provides a centralized firmware update dashboard for IT administrators managing large headset deployments. Jabra Xpress supports silent, mass firmware deployment without requiring end-user interaction, suitable for enterprise environments with managed endpoints. Both tools are free downloads from jabra.com.

Can this headset be used with a mobile phone at the same time as a laptop?

Yes. Bluetooth 5.0 dual connectivity maintains a primary connection to the PC via the Jabra Link USB-C adapter while simultaneously pairing to a mobile device. Incoming calls from either device are routed to the headset and can be answered directly from the headset controls.

What are the battery specifications and quick charge capabilities?

The headset provides up to 37 hours of talk time on a full charge. Quick charge delivers 8 hours of use from 15 minutes on the USB-C deskstand. These figures are Jabra-specified under standard test conditions; actual performance varies with usage patterns and output volume.

Are replacement ear cushions available for hot-desking or shared-use deployments?

Yes. Jabra Evolve2 40/65 Ear Cushions are sold separately in black and beige. For hot-desking or multi-user environments, maintaining replacement cushions and replacing them between users is the standard commercial hygiene practice.

What warranty coverage applies to commercial purchases?

The standard warranty is 2 years from date of purchase. Jabra Warranty+ and Jabra Care plans offer extended coverage, advance replacement, and dedicated commercial support for organizations requiring more than the standard warranty term. Contact your authorized AV reseller for details on commercial service plans.
