Alright, my previously suggested work headphones have turned out to be crap with no apparent way to recover.

My Jabra Evolve2 85 headphones have repeatedly been reported to have bad microphone quality, with nothing I’ve tried being effective. Sometimes power cycling with give me a few minutes of clear microphone quality before my voice degrades significantly. Including factory resets and updates to the latest firmware versions.

Sounds like from online reviews I’m not the only once suffering from these problems.

So…

Does anygoon have an updated recommendation for a headphone (in decreasing priority order):

Good mic quality
(Boom mic preferred but not required)
Over-ear
Connects to both phones and non-Bluetooth computer (either USB dongle or 3.5mm jack(s))
Can connect to more than 1 device at a time (I think 2 is the limit for Bluetooth?)
Good audio quality
Active voice cancelling

Price is generally not a huge factor, quality of sound and quality of microphone matter a lot to me in this instance.

Interesting, I did not realize that Plantonics and Polycom have gotten bought/merged by HP.

Looking at the Voyager 8200 UC and Voyager Surround 80 UC. Website doesn’t do a great comparison but seems like the Surround 80 is slightly newer? Will read some reviews and check out one of them.
