Review on Jabra Evolve 20 Stereo Headset - Microsoft Lync Optimized by Mateusz Rzeczycki ᠌

It's passive (as the manufacturer's website claims), yet it seems to handle noise reduction "excellently" (based on comments from those who have used it). During meetings (I use it for Skype for Business and Tims so far), only your voice will be heard, rather than the sounds of the apartment and the street outside the window. The wired remote eliminates the need to move the mouse around the screen (or switch between monitors) in search of the program window to toggle the microphone on and off; an indicator shows whether the microphone is active (on) or inactive (off); volume control allows for swift volume adjustment (some callers are hard to hear, while others have turned up the volume too high), and an end call button terminates the call. It is advised that you install Jabra Direct and set the microphone gain to 0 dB in the system preferences for optimal operation. Positive impressions thus far.
