The two headsets are technically identical. The difference lies in the USB dongle supplied. The offer with the manufacturer number 27599-999-899 is supplied with a USB-C dongle and the 27599-999-999 includes a USB-A.
Yes, the Jabra Evolve2 75 can be connected to two devices simultaneously via Bluetooth. The headset supports connection with up to eight Bluetooth devices and enables simultaneous connection with two of them.
There is no specific model of the Evolve2 75 MS Stereo with the microphone on the left for left-handers. The microphone design is standard and does not vary according to hand preference.

Hello, I would strongly advise against it. Water could penetrate the buttons to the electronics and the delicate foam ear cups would wear out more quickly. OK for moderate sweating, but over a longer period of time could break faster than keeping dry, your cost-benefit assessment ;)
I have this Evolve2 and a MacBook. There is often the problem with connecting multiple devices. But I also have this with the Bose headphones and pretty much all other devices that are connected in multiple places. I would say it's not a Jabra problem, but rather from the other devices and/or the software. With every new update, MS Teams opens the door wide open for all kinds of problems, i.e. it changes from time to time.
USB A is the dongle that should be plugged into the PC or notebook for the best connection. The headset itself then has a USB-C connection so that it can also be charged with a USB-C cable. I would only choose the variant with the USB-A dongle, because clogging up a USB-C socket with a headset dongle makes less sense, because these USB-C connections on notebooks can handle data, LAN, image, sound and also power.
In any case, only a USB-A cable is sent without a mains adapter.
From my experience with Jabra headsets, you can use a standard charging cable including adapter (e.g. from a mobile phone).
A cable connection is not provided. Except for charging.
Here is the homepage with specifications:

The difference to the Jabra Evolve2 65 is not only the active noise cancellation (ANC). The Evolve2 75 has 8 microphones (4 digital, 4 analogue) for better voice quality and ANC, while the Evolve2 65 only has 3 digital microphones. The Evolve2 75 also offers customisable Advanced ANC with 11 levels and the HearThrough function, which is missing from the Evolve2 65. Both have the same 40 mm speakers, but the Evolve2 75 has a shorter microphone boom and a significantly longer battery life of up to 36 hours. The Evolve2 75 is also only available as a stereo version, while the Evolve2 65 is also available as a mono version.
Such noises are very difficult for any ANC software, as the ANC software is usually very good at suppressing monotonous, regular noises (such as train noise, etc.), but has more difficulty suppressing noises in the frequency range of the human voice. To put it simply, active noise cancellation works by cancelling out the noise coming from outside with "counter frequencies" so that it can no longer be perceived. The problem with the frequencies you want to suppress is that you still want to understand the person you are talking to, e.g. during a video call. If all frequencies in the range of the human voice were cancelled, you would no longer be able to hear the children screaming, but you would have difficulties understanding the other person and the sound quality would be very poor. This "problem" exists with all ANC headphones, although there are clear differences in quality between the various models.
I find the ANC of the Jabra to be very good, but in my opinion the noise cancellation does not come close to closed headphones, such as those from Bose, because the speakers are on the ear and do not surround it. For ANC, it is always better if the outside noise is already shielded as much as possible by the design of the headphones. However, you should not expect miracles from high-end ANC headphones with a closed design. Even with my Bose headphones, children's noises and screams come through (quietly) despite the excellent ANC and closed design. The advantage of the Jabra headphones for me is that the battery life is many times longer, the microphone has been optimised for use even in noisy environments and the headphones can also be used while charging (which is not possible with Bose, for example). That's why it's my headphone of choice for work. I use the Bose when travelling or at home for listening to music, etc.
I have the Jabra Evolve2 75 with USB-C and wanted to connect the dongle to my Multi Hub. Unfortunately this did not work, no connection could be established. I use an INTERTRONIC docking station (HDMI, 3 x USB 3.0) as my Multi Hub.
If I connect the dongle directly to the USB-C port of my laptop, the headphones work and the device can be connected. I have read that there could be problems with multi hubs if they are "analogue and not digital". How do I find out which Multi Hub I can use the Jabra Evolve2 with, as my laptop only has one USB-C port and I have multiple devices connected?
Unfortunately, I can't tell you about the Intertronic, as it is a competitor's own brand. However, it seems that the USB-C port only has a charging function and therefore does not work. As an alternative: Linq 6in1 Pro USB-C Multiport Hub (1 x HDMI, 100 W, USB C)
This hub has 2x USB-C to charge your notebook and to use the dongle. But you "only" have 2x USB 3.0 ports. If you are looking for individual advice, please feel free to contact our customer service: https://helpcenter.digitec.ch/hc/de/requests/new
Here is what the brand says on its website:
"Microsoft (MS) variants, which are certified for use with Microsoft Teams, support a plug-and-play experience with the following features:
Automatic selection of the MS variant as the default communication device.
Microsoft Teams LED notifications visible on the controller.
Use of the Answer/Hang Up button on the controller to support interaction between the device and Microsoft Teams on a computer.
If multiple MS devices are present, call prioritisation will send audio to the device that was used to answer an incoming call.
If you are using an MS variant with a different softphone client, the MS variant should work in the same way as a UC variant with regard to audio and standard features such as answering/terminating calls, adjusting the volume and mute.
If you are not using Microsoft Teams as a softphone client, we recommend using a UC variant, which is certified for use with all major UC platforms, including Cisco, Mitel and Avaya. If you use a UC variant with Microsoft Teams, the plug-and-play experience will not be available. You can manually configure the audio and call control features by selecting the UC variant as the default communication device in Microsoft Teams settings."
Would you be able to help understand the differences between different versions of the Jabra Evolve2 75?
Specifically, what does it mean when the model says:
- Duo (in comparison mode it only mentions as an extra, the 'cable' connection). But as far as I understand any version of Jabra Evolve2 75 should be able to connect via Cable, right? Does it mean that the non-Duo version does not include the cable? In the scope of delivery, all models seem to be the same.
- Stereo: how is this different from a regular (non-Stereo) version?
When I tried to find out these differences on the webpage of Jabra, I could not find any reference to either Duo or Stereo. So where does this even come from?
Lastly, does anyone know if the UC version can be configured to work exactly the same as MS?
I do mostly use MS Teams, but I would like to leave the option for other tools too. So OC seems like a better fit, but what am I losing with UC version or the MS version?
Here you are the answer for our product experts :
For the difference between the MS and UC variant, Jabra has answered on their official website.
The Microsoft (MS) variants, which are certified for use with Microsoft Teams, support a plug-and-play experience with the following features:
The automatic selection of the MS variant as the default communication device.
Microsoft Teams LED notifications that are visible on the Jabra Link Bluetooth adapter.
Use of the Answer/end button to support interaction between the headset and Microsoft Teams on a computer.
If multiple MS devices are present, call prioritization will send the audio to the device that was used to answer an incoming call.
If you use an MS variant with a different softphone client, the MS variant should work the same as a UC variant does with regard to audio and standard features such as answer/end calls, adjust volume, and mute microphone.
If you do not use Microsoft Teams as your softphone client, we recommend you use a UC variant, which is certified for use with all leading UC platforms including Cisco, Mitel, and Avaya. If you use a UC variant with Microsoft Teams, the plug-and-play experience will not be available. You can set up audio and call control features manually by selecting the UC variant as the default communication device in the Microsoft Teams settings.
For the Stereo vs Duo difference, there is no difference since the Evolve2 model comes with both (dual) speakers for each ear. It is just that the name of the article has been altered. One that is mentioned as Duo on our website is also found in the technical specification.
Jabra does not specify them as Duo/Mono since all of them are stereo.
