Jabra Kills the Boom Mic: Evolve3 and PanaCast Room Kit Land in Singapore
Let’s face it: hybrid work is here to stay. And the one thing that still ruins a good meeting? Bad audio. Jabra just unveiled two new tools for your desk and your conference room in Singapore: the Evolve3 headset series and the PanaCast Room Kit.
Evolve3: No Boom Arm, No Compromise
The real head‑turner is the Evolve3. Jabra finally got rid of the microphone arm. No more looking like a call centre agent while you’re grabbing coffee. Instead, they packed in AI‑powered voice pickup called Jabra ClearVoice, trained on 60 million real‑world sentences (from the spec sheets). The headset isolates your voice from background chaos. Adaptive Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) adjusts to your fit and surroundings in real time. There’s also Spatial Sound to make calls feel more natural.
Two versions are landing: the over‑ear Evolve3 85 (220g) and the on‑ear Evolve3 75 (180g). Both swap old leather cushions for breathable fabric – a smart move for Singapore’s humid weather (as the presenters pointed out). Battery life? The Evolve3 85 gives you 25 hours of talk time or 120 hours of music (ANC off). The Evolve3 75 offers 22 hours of talk time or 110 hours of music. A 10‑minute fast charge via USB‑C cable delivers 10 hours of music playback – perfect for that last‑minute dash to a meeting.
They connect via secure Bluetooth Low Energy 5.3 with Google Fast Pair; no dongle is required, though a Link 390 adapter is included for enterprise setups. You can tweak settings and update firmware through the Jabra Plus mobile or desktop app.
A few extra details from the launch event and spec sheets:
- The ear cushions and batteries are replaceable – Jabra wants you to keep the headset for years.
- Coming soon: a dedicated button to trigger Microsoft Copilot directly from the headset
- Both models have a 360° Busylight, Sidetone, and PeakStop hearing protection.
- The Evolve3 75 weighs just 180g – lighter than its predecessor.
- Available now on Jabra’s Shopee and Lazada official stores.
- The recommended retail price is: Evolve3 85 from S$890, Evolve3 75 from S$688.
- The prices shown on Shopee and Lazada may be cheaper than the recommended price.
PanaCast Room Kit: Large Rooms Made Simple
Then there’s the PanaCast Room Kit. This is Jabra’s modular answer for meeting rooms up to 22 people. It includes the PanaCast 55 VBS video bar (with 8‑microphone beamforming array and 4 speakers), a PanaCast SpeakerMic expansion microphone, and an expandable multi‑camera system powered by Huddly L1 (or Huddly Crew for multi‑camera setups). You can configure one, three, or five cameras. The system does intelligent speaker tracking (Virtual Director) and dynamic framing. The SpeakerMic captures voices evenly around the table and includes one‑touch meeting controls via the Jabra Control IP touch controller.
Plug and play – no programming required. It’s built on Microsoft’s MDEP platform (Android 13 and beyond) and works with Microsoft Teams and Zoom. Expected to be available locally in Q2 2026.
Jabra PanaCast Room Kit – All‑in‑one video solution for complete large‑room coverage
Jabra’s managing director for ASEAN, Rayson Seow, said the company wants to deliver clear communication, mobility and scalability as hybrid work becomes permanent. The Evolve3 and PanaCast Room Kit are how they plan to do it.
As hybrid work becomes a permanent part of how organisations operate, collaboration technology is now central to daily communication and productivity. From individual focus work to full meeting room participation, Jabra Evolve3 and Jabra PanaCast Room Kit are designed to deliver clear communication, mobility and scalability, helping organisations across APAC collaborate more effectively in the next generation of work.
