Jabra Air Comfort Technology:
What is Jabra Air Comfort Technology?
Back-to-back meetings can mean being in a headset all day. To take the pressure off, Jabra has created a new comfort technology called Air Comfort. It features redesigned earcup cushions with a new pattern and material that distributes pressure on the ear more evenly. The inside of the ear cups have also been changed to a softer, more responsive material that helps to relieve pressure on the ears. The headband has a new perforated design that distributes pressure more evenly on the top of the head. This makes it feel like you’re not even wearing a headset during long meetings. Jabra Air Comfort technology was perfected by engineers over many years, so you can look forward to a new level of comfort during meetings and calls. Jabra Air Comfort comes with the Evolve2 65 Flex, Evolve2 55, and Evolve2 50.
