Best headset for a hybrid office

For hybrid desks — home one day, office the next — pick a Bluetooth headset with a USB dongle, stereo audio, and (where you need it) ANC. On our shelves the usual shortlist is the Jabra Evolve2 / Evolve3 family, the HP Poly Focus 625, and Logitech Zone Wireless 2. Match the MS or UC SKU to your softphone, and check whether the listing includes a USB-A or USB-C dongle.

How to shortlist

  1. Port on the laptop — USB-A dongle (Evolve2 75, Evolve3 75, Evolve2 65 Flex) vs USB-C dongle (Evolve2 85 Link 380c, Evolve2 65 USB-C, Focus BT700). See USB-A vs USB-C.
  2. ANC needed? — Open-plan or home noise → Evolve2 75/85, Evolve3 75, Focus 625, Zone Wireless 2. Quiet room → Evolve2 65 is a lighter wireless option.
  3. Wear style — on-ear (Evolve2 75, Evolve3 75) vs over-ear (Evolve2 85) vs fold-friendly (Evolve2 65 Flex, Evolve3 75 pouch).
  4. Teams vs UC — order the certified variant your IT policy requires (Teams vs UC).
