Jabra Evolve3 85 — UC, Link 390c USB-C, Warm Grey
Over-ear, 220 g, no boomAdvanced ANC + 6-mic ClearVoice AIUp to 25 h talk, 120 h musicUC (Zoom and Google Meet certified)
The Jabra Evolve3 85 is the flagship over-ear headset of the Evolve3 range, and the first 85 with no microphone boom: six digital MEMS microphones and Jabra ClearVoice AI, trained on 60 million sentences, replace the arm, and Jabra’s Advanced ANC with adaptive technology and Enhanced Spatial Sound handle the rest. At 220 g it is 35% slimmer than the Evolve2 85 and adds a 3.5 mm jack for in-flight use. Bluetooth 5.3 multipoint keeps a laptop and a phone connected, the pre-paired Link 390c USB-C adapter gives a certified PC link, and Jabra publishes up to 25 hours of talk and 120 hours of music with ANC off, with a user-exchangeable battery and wireless-charging support. This is the Warm Grey UC (Zoom and Google Meet certified) variant, part number 38599-989-898, EAN 5706991034493. Tell us your platform and USB ports and we will confirm the variant.
Compatibility — check before buying:
Jabra sells the Evolve3 85 in ten versions: MS (Teams button and certification) or UC (Zoom and Google Meet certified), Link 390a USB-A or Link 390c USB-C adapter, with or without the wireless charging pad, in Black — and this Warm Grey version, which comes UC with the Link 390c USB-C adapter and without the pad. The adapter fits only the port type stated. Both certifications work on all major platforms. Over-ear cups and 220 g suit long focused sessions; if you want something lighter that folds, the Evolve3 75 is the on-ear sibling. It also has a 3.5 mm jack for in-flight entertainment. Wireless charging needs a Qi pad (Jabra’s is sold separately for this variant).
Best For
✓ Executives and knowledge workers in long focused sessions
✓ Noisy open offices and travel, with Advanced ANC
✓ Teams-heavy organisations (MS) or Zoom and Meet shops (UC)
✓ Users who dislike a boom in front of the face
✓ Laptops with USB-C ports
✓ Anyone who wants the Warm Grey finish instead of black

Frequently Asked Questions
MS or UC — which do I need?
Both work with Teams, Zoom and Google Meet. MS is Microsoft Teams certified with a Teams button; UC is Zoom and Google Meet certified. Choose by the platform your organisation lives in.
How does it pick up my voice without a boom?
Six MEMS microphones and Jabra ClearVoice AI, which Jabra trained on 60 million sentences, replace the arm. For a very loud call floor the Evolve3 65 with a boom remains the safer pick.
What is the difference between the Evolve3 85 and the Evolve3 75?
85: over-ear, 220 g, 25 h talk, 120 h music, 3.5 mm jack. 75: on-ear, foldable, 180 g, 22 h talk, 110 h music, no jack. Same mics, ANC, Bluetooth and adapter.
Does it charge wirelessly?
It supports Qi wireless charging, but this Warm Grey variant ships without the pad. Add Jabra’s pad or use USB-C.
Singular Expert Insight
The Evolve3 85 is the one to give people who live on calls and want the office to disappear: over-ear cups, the strongest ANC in the range and 120 hours of music. Warm Grey is the only non-black colour in the family and ships without the charging pad. See the rest of our office and VoIP headsets and ask us to confirm platform and port before you order.
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You want Jabra’s flagship over-ear Evolve3 with boom-free AI voice pickup and advanced ANC in Warm Grey, on Zoom or Google Meet with USB-C laptops.
Skip it if
You want the charging pad in the box or the black finish, your laptops use the other USB port type, or you take calls on a loud call floor where a boom is safer (Evolve3 65).
