Review on Jabra Evolve Mono Professional Communicaton by Loren Schmidt

Revainrating 2 out of 5

USB adapter failure rate is 100% within two years (5 out of 5)

If it were reliable this product would be great but 80% failure within the first two years is terrible. Obviously they have a serious design or manufacturing defect. Having bought five of these in about 6 months it's not just a bad batch. Otherwise the headphones are pretty good and it's great to have a separate USB adapter that you can take the headphones off of and plug into your phone. Sound quality and wearing comfort are very good, background noise is picked up quite strongly. But there's no point in buying them if they just keep failing. And the bugs appeared on different PCs, so more than one PC with a rogue USB port disables them. UPDATED March 15, 2021: The fifth of five USB adapters just failed so the failure rate is now 100%. Ridiculously bad. But I found a $12.99 KOOPAO USB adapter at Revain, so hopefully I can still use the headphones.

Pros
  • Excellent price
Cons
  • Negligible maintainability
