Jabra headphones have a reputation as phones you wear while doing something energetic, rather than phones that deliver premium audio quality. Jabra Elite 85H headphones might change that perception.
Jabra describes their SmartSound technology as an "adaptive audio experience", and this feature accounts for the enhanced sound in Elite 85H headphones. SmartSound automatically analyses your sound environment, be it in public, in private, or during a commute, and applies the right settings to give you a deeply satisfying music experience.
Customised music settings let you hear the sort of sound you want to hear, while enhanced music clarity and purpose-built speakers deliver your preferred audio better than ever before.
On-going battery life is essential in any mobile device, and in Jabra Elite 85H headphones you get up to 32 hours of battery power on a single charge...more than enough!
Smart Active Noise Cancellation automatically turns itself on when background sounds threaten to impede on your listening experience or your enjoyment of the quiet life.
Use this app to access SmartSound and other features, select your preferred voice assistant, customise music profiles, modify how much noise you want to block out and much more. Plus, your headphones will maintain optimum performance with the visual in-app indicator to track battery usage, while you can install software and device updates directly in the app, without having to plug your headphones into your computer.
Manufacturer: Jabra
The Jabra Elite 85h look great, have battery for days and boast some killer features, but it'll have its work cut out to beat the Sony WH-1000XM3.
32 hour battery life; Four different colours; USB-C charging
Feel heavier than the Sony's; Need more convincing on audio quality
There’s no doubt that the wireless noise cancelling headphone market is an embarrassment of riches right now, with one model, the aforementioned Sony WH-1000XM3 having dominated since their release at the end of 2018 and then there's the formidable Bose QC35 IIs. So it’ll take a lot for Jabra or indeed anybody to get a look in. However, Jabra’s impressed with how well it’s doing at this early stage. The battery life is immense, hands-free Alexa is a first, and there are some nice bonuses such as rain resistance and adaptive noise cancelling. The proof will be in the final item, which is due April 1st internationally. It’ll cost £280 in the UK, and $300 in the US. Stay tuned for a full review soon...
