Introduction

In the fast-evolving landscape of modern communication, the tools we use to connect define the quality of collaboration. For professionals working in dynamic environments—be it from home, on the move, or in bustling open offices—audio clarity, comfort, and platform integration are more critical than ever. The Jabra Evolve2 40 SE Stereo USB-C Headset (Microsoft Teams Certified) is purpose-built to meet these demands.

As part of Jabra’s premium Evolve2 series, the Jabra Evolve2 40 SE Stereo USB-C Headset is a wired on-ear stereo headset designed to deliver exceptional call quality, immersive audio, and seamless Microsoft Teams functionality. Its high-quality microphones, leak-tolerant 40mm speakers, and memory foam ear cushions ensure that every call, meeting, or music session is crystal-clear and comfortable—even for extended use.

Design & Comfort

One of the key differentiators of the Jabra Evolve2 40 SE Stereo USB-C Headset is its professional yet stylish design. With a matte black finish, minimalist contours, and a comfortable on-ear fit, it blends seamlessly into corporate and home office environments.

The Jabra Evolve2 40 SE Stereo USB-C Headset features a reinforced steel headband for durability, and soft memory foam ear cushions covered in premium leatherette material. These cushions conform to your ears, offering enhanced passive noise isolation and long-lasting comfort. Whether you wear it for short video calls or all-day meetings, it’s built to stay light, breathable, and unobtrusive.

The headset’s rotating boom arm tucks neatly away when not in use, allowing for a streamlined profile during non-call activities, such as listening to music.

Audio Performance

Voice Clarity

At the core of the Jabra Evolve2 40 SE Stereo USB-C Headset performance lies its three-microphone array, strategically placed to isolate your voice while filtering out background distractions. This technology ensures your voice is clear, even in open office environments or shared workspaces.

The Microsoft Teams-certified version is specifically optimized for the Teams environment, meaning:

• One-touch access to Teams functions via a dedicated button.

• Notifications from Teams are visually indicated through the built-in LED ring.

• Superior microphone tuning for compliance with Microsoft’s stringent “Open Office” voice pickup standards.

Speaker Output

Equipped with 40mm leak-tolerant speakers, the Jabra Evolve2 40 SE Stereo USB-C Headset produces rich, immersive stereo sound. Whether you’re engaged in a video conference, webinar, or just listening to music, the headset dynamically adjusts to deliver full-spectrum audio. It offers:

• 20Hz–20kHz frequency response in music mode.

• 100Hz–14kHz for voice communication.

This dual-mode capability ensures your Jabra Evolve2 40 SE Stereo USB-C Headset transitions smoothly between calls and content consumption without compromising quality.
