The Jabra PanaCast Meet Anywhere and Meet Anywhere+ Bundles are a great value, portable, convenient, and easy way to video enable any space! The carry case is convenient and allows you to neatly and securely store and transport the Jabra PanaCast Meet Anywhere Bundles. Previously, I carried these same items in a plastic storage bag stored in my backpack. Check out this YouTube Shorts video! I was so excited to hear about them and receive one of these new bundles to test! Here’s a video featuring an unboxing, overview, and quick demo of this bundle so you can see how simple it is to start a personal or group video call wherever you are.
Inexpensive Flexibility
It’s not a secret that video collaboration is here to stay. The Jabra PanaCast Meet Anywhere Bundles are an excellent option for organizations still debating whether they will return to the office, remain remote, or adopt a hybrid model. Suppose you are on the fence about committing to a particular in-room video system for your meeting spaces. In that case, the Jabra PanaCast Meet Anywhere Bundles allow you to inexpensively video-enable your team members to set up a video meeting from anywhere. They can also use the Speak 750 for conference calls from their mobile device or to enhance the audio quality when streaming media from their laptop!
What’s in the bundle?
Four Jabra PanaCast Meet Anywhere / Meet Anywhere+ Bundles are available, including Microsoft Teams Certified variants. They include a camera and speakerphone so you can participate in a video meeting from anywhere.
8402-129 Jabra PanaCast Meet Anywhere (Jabra PanaCast, Speak 750 MS, 1m / 3ft USB A-C cable, Travel Case) – Microsoft Teams Certified – MSRP $650 (USD)
With an adjustable 180-degree field of view of the Jabra PanaCast camera (How to adjust Jabra PanaCast FOV via Jabra Direct) and the Jabra Speak 750 mic pick-up range of up to 2.3m/7.5ft, you can quickly set up these bundles for a personal or a group video call wherever you are. You can wirelessly link two Jabra Speak 750 speakerphones if they are within a 4m/13ft range of each other; the Link button will be visible. To temporarily link the audio between them, tap the Link button on both speakerphones. To unlink the speakerphones, tap the Link button on one of the speakerphones. (Instructions on how to link two Jabra Speak 750 speakerphones)

Jabra is a leading device manufacturer for audio and video solutions for today’s work from anywhere world.
One of our YouTube viewers asked to compare the Jabra Evolve 30 II and new Evolve2 30. We took it one step further and included the Jabra Evolve2 40 as well. In the video below we provide a brief over of the differences between these three headset models and include a side-by-side mic test. Which headset do you think performed best?
All Jabra headsets listed in this blog are available in UC and Microsoft variants. The newer Evolve2 series Microsoft Teams certified models include a dedicated Teams button.
Add more value to your investment with future firmware upgrades through enterprise Jabra Xpress or individual desktop with Jabra Direct.
Jabra Evolve 30 II
First available in September of 2016, the Evolve 30 II provided USB and 3.5mm connectivity to support use with computer and mobile devices with 3.5mm headset jack. Due to it’s low cost, it was a favorite among organizations transitioning to unified communications platforms.
Optimized for Unified Communication with USB adapter that enables easy integration with your PC.
3.5 mm jack integrated into the control unit allows you to easily connect your headset to your PC, smartphone, and tablet.
Certified for Microsoft Teams via firmware update through Jabra Direct or Jabra Xpress

Jabra Evolve2 30
The Jabra Evolve2 30 series were introduced March of 2021. The Jabra Evolve2 30 Series are engineered to keep you productive. Jabra measured hundreds of heads to engineer a headset that’s 27% lighter (Based on Jabra calculations, compared to Evolve 30.) and extremely comfortable, with reinforced steel headband and a new design that exerts gentle, evenly distributed pressure.
An advanced 2-microphone audio system captures you voice while simultaneously analyzing and reducing background noise, for 12% less background conversation noise on calls. Evolve2 30 meets premium Microsoft Open Office requirements. You must listen to believe it. My opinion based on my tests is that the Jabra Evolve2 30 provides stronger noise canceling mic performance compared to the Evolve 30 II and Evolve2 40. Look at our initial Evolve2 30 Overview and Mic Test video!
The Jabra Evolve2 40 Series were engineered to keep you on task. In the comparison video below, you will see the Evolve2 40 speakers are larger than the Evolve 30 II and Evolve2 30. In this video you can see a “First Look & Mic Test” of the Jabra Evolve2 40. Put on your Evolve2 40 and feel the noise around you instantly fade. Memory foam oval ear cushions and pioneering new angled design cancel 48% more of the noise around you (Based on Jabra calculations, compared to Evolve 40).
Plug-and-play connectivity to your computer or mobile device via USB-A or USB-C
3-microphone technology for outstanding call performance
Noise isolating design. Instant noise isolation for improved focus in noisy surroundings
Software integration. Additional features available via Jabra Xpress and Jabra Direct
Powerful 40mm speakers deliver richer sound for a more immersive audio experience
360° busylight on both earcups is visible from all angles, acting as a do-not-disturb sign and protecting your focus
Move boom arm up to mute or down to unmute or answer call
Call management located on speaker. Answer/reject calls; increase/decrease speaker volume; mute (with compatible softphones and collaboration platforms – check compatibility with authorized Jabra Reseller)
Available in in stereo and mono variants. Microphone can only be used on right side.
In conclusion
The Jabra Evolve, and now Evolve2 Series are solid headsets with strong audio performance that should be considered for mass deployments or as options in hybrid work environments for home, office, or anywhere work happens to be.

Based off my personal tests and our YouTube Channel viewer comments and feedback, here are my top picks based off overall audio quality, compatibility, ease of use, comfort, & portability. In no specific order:
Jabra Evolve 75 Series This has been a solid performer since it was introduced. This is a unit I recommend often if you are looking for ANC headset with strong NC mic. It offers up to 18hr talk time but if you forget to charge, it can be used as a corded USB headset while you recharge! Plus, it includes a nice sturdy carry case with a slot for the Link 370 USB dongle so you can transport easily between home and office. Check out this Evolve 75 Mic Test Video from my Home Office!
Logitech Zone Wireless Yes, Logitech makes business-grade headsets and they have done a really good job at developing their Zone series of headsets. They include both USB-A and USB-C connectivity options in the same box. You get up to 14hrs of talk time with ANC on and you can get a complete desktop audio and video solution with their Pro Personal Video Collaboration Kit that includes the Logitech Zone Wireless and Brio 4K Webcam!
Poly Voyager Focus UC Series This is a very popular headset for a reason. It’s a very comfortable headset with up to 12 hours of talk time and Smart Sensor technology. Smart Sensors detect whether you are the wearing the headset. Sensors are located in the headset body and speaker housing and enable you to do things like answer a call by simply putting on headset and Pause streaming media by removing the headset and resume your media by putting your headset back on. Look at the Poly Voyager Focus UC in action from my home office in this video!
If you are looking for a discreet UC Bluetooth headset, here are some you may want to consider.
Poly Voyager 5200 UC Back when I was traveling, this was my go-to headset. With six layers of Poly’s WindSmart technology it’s great for use in the office and on-the-go between locations. I remember one night I was out on a busy street near Logan Airport calling my wife and I asked her if she heard all the noise, and she said, “What noise?”. There trucks, cars, people, and planes landing and taking off and she didn’t hear it. Watch this extreme mic test we did in front of running garbage truck! You get up to 7hrs of talk time, however with the Voyager 5200 Charge Case and docking stand, you get up to 14 extra hours!
EPOS Adapt Presence Grey UC This headset allows you to wear in-the-ear or over-the-ear with a padded earhook. It also includes a small sturdy carry case that holds headset, charging cable, and additional eartips. You get up to 10hrs narrowband and 8hrs wideband of talk time. Check out this video featuring the EPOS Adapt Presence Grey UC so you can hear for yourselves how well it performs!
If you are looking for a no-frills, get the job done, UC Bluetooth headsets starting at $159.95 USD, look at these options available in single or dual ear headband wearing styles from Poly and Jabra. Both series support corded USB mode if you forget to charge headset or are experiencing Bluetooth density problems. To help keep you productive and uninterrupted, both offer online indicator/busy lights to show you are in a call. Carry cases are included with all models to make it easy to transport between locations.
