Jabra Evolve3 85 UC — Wireless Over-Ear ANC Headset, Link 390a
Over-Ear Advanced ANC6-Mic ClearVoice AI25h Talk / 120h MusicCertified for Zoom & Google Meet
The Jabra Evolve3 85 UC, part number 38599-989-999 (EAN 5706991034448), is Jabra’s flagship wireless over-ear headset with adaptive Advanced ANC and six-microphone AI noise cancellation, built for professionals who need maximum focus and call clarity all day — this UC variant is certified for Zoom, Google Meet and Cisco Webex and includes the pre-paired Link 390a USB-A Bluetooth adapter. Jabra ClearVoice, trained on 60 million real-life sentences, isolates your voice so only you come through, in the office, at home or on the move.
The immersive over-ear design is the lightest in its class at 220 g and runs up to 25 hours of talk time or 120 hours of music per charge, with 5 hours of power from a 5-minute rapid charge and wireless charging support (pad sold separately on this SKU). Bluetooth 5.3 multipoint with LE Audio keeps laptop and phone connected simultaneously, a 3.5 mm cable covers in-flight entertainment, and the battery is user-replaceable. Typically in stock with fast delivery across Cyprus.
Compatibility note: This is the UC variant, certified for Zoom, Google Meet and Cisco Webex and tested with all leading UC platforms; it works with Microsoft Teams as a standard audio device but is not Teams-certified and has no dedicated Teams button — Teams-first organisations should choose the MS versions (38599-999-xxx). The included Link 390a adapter requires a USB-A port; for USB-C laptops choose the 38599-989-899 (Link 390c), and pad bundles are the 38599-989-989/889.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Jabra Evolve3 85 UC (38599-989-999) work with Microsoft Teams?
It works with Teams as a standard audio device, but it is not Teams-certified and has no dedicated Teams button. If your organisation runs Microsoft Teams, the MS variants (38599-999-999 with Link 390a or 38599-999-899 with Link 390c) are the better fit; this UC version is certified for Zoom, Google Meet and Cisco Webex.
What is the difference between the Evolve3 85 and the Evolve3 75?
The Evolve3 85 is the over-ear flagship: bigger battery (25h talk / 120h music vs 22h/110h), stronger passive isolation, a 3.5 mm cable for in-flight use, and sidetone that works simultaneously with ANC — at 220 g vs the 75’s lighter 180 g on-ear design. Audio engine, 6-mic ClearVoice and BT 5.3 LE multipoint are shared.
Can I connect the Evolve3 85 to my laptop and phone at the same time?
Yes. Bluetooth 5.3 multipoint holds two simultaneous connections (8 paired devices), so you can stay on the Link 390a adapter for laptop calls while your phone is connected for mobile calls and music — switching is automatic and seamless.
What do I need to know before buying the Jabra Evolve3 85 UC?
This 38599-989-999 variant includes the USB-A Link 390a adapter but no wireless charging pad — pad bundles are the 38599-989-989 (USB-A) and 38599-989-889 (USB-C). It supports wireless charging, charges via USB-C in about 180 minutes, the battery is user-replaceable, and the 2-year warranty can be extended with Jabra Warranty+.
Singular Expert Insight
The Evolve3 85 is the headset to pick when isolation matters most: over-ear cushions plus adaptive ANC handle open offices, flights and commutes better than any on-ear, and the 25h/120h battery is class-leading. This UC base SKU is the most affordable entry for Zoom- and Meet-first teams — skip the pad if you charge by cable anyway. If you prefer something lighter for all-day wear, the Evolve3 75 UC (180 g, on-ear) saves weight and money, and Teams organisations should order the MS version (38599-999-999).
Buyer’s Guide
Buy it if
You work in noisy environments on Zoom, Google Meet or Webex and want maximum isolation with flagship audio — over-ear Advanced ANC, 6-mic AI voice pickup, 25h talk / 120h music and multipoint.
Skip it if
Your organisation is Teams-first (MS variants 38599-999-xxx), your laptops are USB-C–only (38599-989-899 with Link 390c), or you prefer a lighter on-ear design (Evolve3 75, 180 g).
Also consider
Jabra Evolve3 75 UC (37599-989-xxx) for a lighter on-ear option, the pad bundle 38599-989-989, or the MS version 38599-999-999 for Teams organisations.
