Apple Airpods Max Vs Jabra Evolve2 85: Comparison!

Table of Contents

The Jabra Evolve2 85 professional headphones are suitable for a variety of applications. Their companion app is packed with features, and the headphones themselves are comfortable, well-made, and have long battery life. Their boom microphone captures your voice with remarkable clarity and almost no background noise. Meanwhile, their ANC system allows you to concentrate on what is being said on a conference call even when it is extremely loud. They are a great choice for those who are constantly on the move but cannot afford to miss any important phone calls because they are simple to use. The high wireless latency and the bulky design make them somewhat inconvenient to carry around. Which is better? Apple Airpods Max Vs Jabra Evolve2 85? Here’s what we know.

In comparison, the Apple AirPods Max are among the best-sounding headphones we’ve ever tested. They’re easy to use and have noise cancellation that rivals the Sony WH-1000XM4 and the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700. Because of their steep price tag, Android’s restrictions, and the lack of a 3.5mm audio port, the only people we’d recommend them to our iOS users with a lot of money to burn and no interest in Hi-Res Audio.

Apple Airpod Max vs Jabra Evolve2 85: Detailed Analysis

Design

The earcups have an unmistakably ‘Apple’ quality to them; some might describe them as stylishly minimal, while others might describe them as featureless. For those looking for headphones with a bit more visual impact, the silver, sky blue, green, and pink AirPods Max may be a good option. We weren’t sold on the design at first, but we’ve changed our minds. They don’t resemble anything else on the market, and the high quality of their construction justifies the high price.

The Jabra Evolve2 85 looks exactly like the Jabra Elite 85h Wireless, with the exception of the detachable boom microphone. They’re mostly made of high-quality plastic and come in either black or beige monochrome. They are subtle enough to match any office decor.

Quality of Sound

The Apple AirPods Max has unrivaled sound quality. They have a large, well-balanced soundstage that gives each instrument its due, and they have cool features like Spatial Audio and an automatic pause function when you remove them.

The AirPods Max captured every nuance of Phoebe Bridgers’ soft vocal in Garden Song admirably. The guitar was picked glitchily, but the resulting rich sound was lovely, and the rhythm and stereo separation were superb.

The sound profile of the Jabra Evolve 2 85 over-ear headphones, on the other hand, is very neutral. Your mixes should have plenty of thump and body because the bass is well-balanced. It’s critical that speech over the phone sounds present, detailed, and clear, so the mid-response is relatively neutral. The uneven treble response may accentuate harshness in the voices of some speakers. For those who like to fine-tune their audio, the Jabra Sound+ app includes a five-band graphic equalizer.

Noise Cancelling

The Apple AirPods Max performs similarly to the Sony WH-1000XM4 and the Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones 700 in terms of noise cancellation.

Each ear cup has three microphones facing outward to pick up sounds in the surrounding area, as well as a fourth microphone inside to track sound entering your ear.

According to Apple, the AirPods Max uses computational audio to adjust noise cancellation dynamically based on “real-time headphone fit and movement.” We put them through a number of different tests, and they appeared to hold up well.

However, the Jabra Evolve 285 headphones excel at noise cancellation. Their ANC system struggles to reduce the volume of low-frequency ambient noise, such as bus engines, but it excels at blocking out high-pitched hums, such as those produced by nearby coworkers’ chatter or an AC unit.

Battery

Although 20 hours of high-quality audio, talk time, or movie playback with Active Noise Cancellation may not seem like much, Apple claims that the AirPods Max provides this.

Although many excellent models have a battery life of around 20 hours, the best over-ear headphones typically have a battery life of around 30 hours; this is enough for a full day or two of use, depending on how securely you have them in your ears. The claimed battery life appears to be accurate, and we like that the Smart Case puts the AirPods Max into a low power mode, but the inability to turn the AirPods Max off is perplexing. We saw no discernible decrease in battery life after repeatedly leaving them overnight in the Smart Case.

The Jabra Evolve2 85 shines in terms of battery life. With Active Noise Cancellation turned on, they have impressive 31.7-hour battery life. If you connect to your computer via Bluetooth or their proprietary dongle, you can use them while they charge. In the app, you can set a standby timer that will cause them to power down after a certain amount of inactivity.

Apple Airpod Max vs Jabra Evolve2 85: Final Verdict

The Apple AirPods Max is the best-sounding over-ear headphones in our opinion. They’re extremely user-friendly (thank you, Apple! ), have excellent noise cancellation, and have a modern, distinct design.

However, they are too expensive for most people, and Android users are restricted in what they can do with them. We can only recommend them to iOS users who are particularly flush with cash and have no desire to listen to music in high resolution because they lack a 3.5mm audio port.

The Jabra Evolve2 85 is an excellent mobile phone headset. They use a boom microphone to pick up your natural, clear, and mostly noise-free voice, so the person on the other end of the line should be able to understand you perfectly. They’ve installed an active noise cancellation (ANC) system to help you hear what’s being said. Unfortunately, you cannot use their microphone with the supplied 1/8″ TRS cable.
