ZDNET's recommendations are based on many hours of testing, research, and comparison shopping. We gather data from the best available sources, including vendor and retailer listings as well as other relevant and independent reviews sites. And we pore over customer reviews to find out what matters to real people who already own and use the products and services we’re assessing.

When you click through from our site to a retailer and buy a product or service, we may earn affiliate commissions. This helps support our work, but does not affect what we cover or how, and it does not affect the price you pay. Neither ZDNET nor the author are compensated for these independent reviews. Indeed, we follow strict guidelines that ensure our editorial content is never influenced by advertisers.

ZDNET's editorial team writes on behalf of you, our reader. Our goal is to deliver the most accurate information and the most knowledgeable advice possible in order to help you make smarter buying decisions on tech gear and a wide array of products and services. Our editors thoroughly review and fact-check every article to ensure that our content meets the highest standards. If we have made an error or published misleading information, we will correct or clarify the article. If you see inaccuracies in our content, please report the mistake via this form.

Jabra's latest premium office headphones line, the Evolve3 series, comes with a redesign: they ditch the foam earcups for fabric, and completely do away with the boom mic. I know this approach might be considered blasphemy for a business headset, but the trade-off is a sleek, lightweight build that works very well as a hybrid pair you can actually wear out of the office.

The Evolve3 75 headphones are one step down from the company's most premium model, the Evolve3 85, and although they're not cheap (regularly priced around $450), they come with a replaceable battery, a five-year warranty, and are more durable than they might appear.
