The Jabra Elite 5 offer decent battery life, hybrid ANC, Bluetooth multipoint and more

Jabra’s Elite 5 noise-cancelling earphones join the company's ever-expanding lineup of true wireless models, priced to fit in the middle of the pack at $149. One of the primary differences between these and the $179.99 Jabra Elite 7 Active is that the Active earbuds are fully waterproof, making them a better fit for the gym. That said, with the Elite 5 you still get a relatively balanced audio experience, with rich bass and bright highs, as well as decent active noise cancellation (ANC) for a slightly lower price. We're also fans of the companion app's audio and control customization options, which you don't get with the even more affordable Jabra Elite 3 ($79). That establishes the Elite 5 as a slightly more value-focused alternative to the Elite 7 Active and Elite 7 Pro ($199.99), though we still recommend the latter pairs more highly for better ANC and superior durability.Strong Connectivity, Responsive Controls Available in black or tan, the Elite 5 earpieces are chunky but li...

Jabra's true wireless Elite 5 earphones sit comfortably in the middle of the company's lineup with good sound quality and effective noise cancellation, though they don't quite stand out.

Rich, crisp audio with effective EQ; Quality noise cancellation for the price; Customizable controls; Resistant to water and dust; Hands-free Alexa support

Push-button controls won't appeal to everyone; Jabra offers better options for just slightly more money

Quality sound at a great price. The ANC works well. They fit nicely and are not uncomfortable. Overall I am very happy with my purchase of the Jabra Elite 5 earbuds.

The sound quality and battery life are pretty good. Easy to set up and comes with two different sizes of ear plugs so they fit into your ears and don't fall out

The Jabra Elite 5 offer good sound and lots of features, but the brand’s cluttered lineup leaves little room for them to stand out
