Logitech H390 vs. Jabra Evolve 10: Entry-Level USB Headsets Compared

When it comes to choosing an affordable USB headset for business calls, virtual meetings, or hybrid work, two models stand out: the Logitech H390 and Jabra Evolve 10. Both are budget-friendly, plug-and-play solutions designed for occasional users and cost-conscious organizations. But which one delivers the better value?

Let’s compare their specs, comfort, usability, and real-world performance to help you decide.

Logitech H390 vs. Jabra Evolve 10

Design & Comfort

Logitech H390

  • Weight: 197g (6.9 oz)
  • Build: Plastic with silicon and metal components
  • Microphone Boom: Fixed on the left side only
  • Available Colors: Black, Off-white, Rose
  • Connection Options: USB-A and USB-C variants
Logitech H390 vs. Jabra Evolve 10

Jabra Evolve 10

  • Weight: 123g (4.34 oz) including controller
  • Build: Lightweight with soft audio foam and leatherette ear cushions
  • Microphone Boom: 270° rotatable, can be worn on either side
  • Available Color: Black only
  • Connection Option: USB-A only

Verdict: The Evolve 10 is more comfortable for longer sessions due to its lighter build and flexible mic boom. However, Logitech H390 offers more style and connection flexibility with multiple colors and USB-A/USB-C options.

🎧 Audio & Microphone Quality

Speaker Specs (Both Headsets)

  • Driver Size: 30mm
  • Frequency Response: 20Hz – 20kHz (music)

Microphone

  • Logitech H390: Bi-directional mic, 100Hz – 10kHz
  • Jabra Evolve 10: Uni-directional ECM mic, 150Hz – 6.5kHz, with PeakStop™ hearing protection

Verdict: While both deliver solid audio for voice calls, the Evolve 10 provides clearer mic pickup and better background noise suppression, which is especially helpful in busy office environments.

🎛️ Controls, Compatibility & Real-World Use

Both headsets include in-line controls for volume and mute, but how well do they work in live meetings?

🧪 Real-World Testing in Teams and Zoom

During my hands-on tests in both Microsoft Teams and Zoom meetings:

  • The Jabra Evolve 10 mute button synced perfectly with the mute status in both platforms. When I pressed mute on the in-line controller, the meeting client reflected that status instantly, providing clear feedback and confidence that I was muted.
  • The Logitech H390, on the other hand, did not sync with Teams or Zoom mute controls. Pressing the physical mute button only muted the mic at the hardware level, with no indication in the meeting software. This created confusion and frustration, especially when toggling mute frequently in meetings.

Verdict: Jabra Evolve 10 delivers a more seamless and reliable experience for professional meeting platforms like Teams and Zoom, especially for users who rely on visual mute confirmation.

🌍 Sustainability & Certifications

Logitech H390:

  • Up to 54% post-consumer recycled plastic
  • FSC™-certified packaging
