Built for Comfort, Designed for Outstanding Sound Quality!
It’s a sickness in our home- who has the most headphones and which ones are the best. I’m not sure who actually has more, my hubby might have more in-ear headphones he doesn’t use, but my son has more Over-the-Ear headphones he does used or has worn out. Neither one of them enjoy wireless ear buds (lucky for me) so I have quite a collection of those.
We are all very excited to add Jabra’s Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones to our collection! My son actually snagged them first and has been using them for a project for school. I remember, back in the day, when a brand new textbook was exciting. With all the technology these days, almost every class uses some kind of technology to complete their goals. My son loves getting new tech to use for his school work. Thanks to Jabra’s Active Noise Cancelling, the results of his science experiment with sound effects and blood pressure, were more reliable.
Jabra – Elite 85h Wireless Noise Canceling Over-the-Ear Headphones:
Listen in comfort with these Jabra Elite 85h wireless headphones. Integrated SmartSound audio technology adapts automatically to your surroundings, while a powerful battery offers up to 36 hours of playtime. These Jabra Elite 85h wireless headphones feature eight separate mics for excellent call quality and are rain-resistant for safe use in all weather conditions.
Our favorite features:
- Rechargeable battery: It takes about 2 hours to charge the batter and you get up to 36 hours of use on a single charge.
- Active noise cancellation (ANC): Effectively blocks out distracting background noises, so you can enjoy a focused, immersive sound environment.
- Water-resistant: Helps prevent water from entering the headphones. Great feature if you use them outside or at the beach!
- Built-in microphone: Enables simple hands-free chatting via a compatible device.
- Bluetooth 5.0 interface: It was super easy to pair these with my phone! Enables simple wireless pairing with your Bluetooth-enabled device. Supports HFP, HSP, SPP, A2DP, AVRCP and PBAP Bluetooth profiles.
- Over-the-ear design: My hubby and son prefer this design. They fit securely and are comfortable too!
- Headset controls: Include mute, volume, answer/end, play/pause, next/previous track, HearThrough, pair mode and ANC on/off. These are much easier to use than I thought they would be!
- Carrying case included: This case is thin and sturdy making these headphones more portable while being protected.
- 40 mm drivers: Delivers powerful sound for the most sound-conscious consumer!
- 10Hz – 20kHz frequency response: For faithful sound reproduction.
- Stereo design: Delivers crisp tones. The sound is very clear, detailed and full range- something my hubby is always looking for!
My Thoughts:
These headphones are comfortable, very well made, and will stand up to every day wear and tear. They are certified as being rain and dust resistant- a great feature for active teens and hubbies that like to wear them outside while mowing the lawn. They are the perfect traveling companion. (The carrying case helps with that as well.) The ANC feature drowns out other travels and plane or engine sounds around you so you can hear only what you want to!
I like that the headphones use an included USB-C port for charging. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge them and a 15 minute charge can provide 5 hours of use. The battery is rated to last as long as 36 hours. We have been using them extensively for the last week and last we checked, they still have 60% battery life left. Every time you put the headphones in listening mode, it tells you the battery level. These headphones offer the very best battery life of our entire collection!
About the headset controls: The button on left side is for HearThrough, ANC, Off. The button on the right side controls volume up/next track; answer/end call, play/pause music, Bluetooth (hold); Volume down/previous track; one-touch access and hands-free voice assistant access to Amazon Alexa, Siri and Google Assistant.
There isn’t an on/off button! To turn the headphones on, just put them in the listening position. To turn them off, lay the cans flat- super easy and smart design!
The Active Noise Cancelling feature is amazing! The Jabra Elite has eight microphones, four of them are used by the digital ANC to filter out background noises. SmartSound, when activated in the Free Jabra App, or, the headphone mics will gather information from your surroundings and switch between different ‘Moments’ automatically. My son has the app on his phone, he noticed a big difference while wearing them on the bus.
I could go on with all the things we love about these Jabra Elite Wireless Headphones, but don’t take it from just my family! Get your own Jabra Elite 85h Wireless Noise Cancelling Headphones at Best Buy and find out for yourself!
