Over the last several years, Jabra’s true wireless earbuds have consistently earned positive reviews and are often at the top of recommendation lists for people who aren’t interested in Apple’s AirPods.

Good noise cancellation; Excellent on-earbud controls; Comfortable; airy fit; Bluetooth multipoint

Less bass than Elite 75t; IPX4 water / sweat resistance is a downgrade; Only the right earbud can be used independently; New eartips aren't quite as snug

Jabra Elite 85t review: The Jabra TWS earphones come with active noise cancellation and its sound quality is pretty good. It is priced ...

Great sound and simple app. Sturdy too not damaged easily. When you get the fit right. Are incredibly stable in the ear. The only draw back. Also the sensor that the left one is in your ear, needs work. But best set I've had yet over Sony, Apple, or Galaxy ear buds.

Overall good. Only down side is if you did want to listen with just one ear it has to be the right on.

Jabra’s $180 Elite 75t and $200 Elite Active 75t are two of the best true wireless earbuds you can buy. They’re comfortable, they sound great, they have decent battery life, and they can resist a lot of water and dust. And as of October, they also have active noise cancellation (ANC). Who could ask for anything more? And yet, more is exactly the goal of the new $230 Jabra Elite 85t, which promise better sound and improved noise-canceling thanks to a new hybrid ANC system. They also aim to end occlusion — that feeling some people get when wearing in-ear earbuds that their ears are stuffed with cotton. Lofty goals indeed. Did Jabra succeed? Let’s find out. First, some praise for Jabra: The Elite 85t ship in a very small and fully recyclable box. A few tiny plastic adhesive labels remain, but for the most part, it’s an exceptionally environmentally friendly package. Inside that box are the Elite 85t, already nestled in their charging case, a USB-C charging cable, two sets of silicone eart...

Priced at Rs 17,999, the Jabra Elite 85t true wireless earbuds may appear steep, but having used them on a daily basis, we can say that they are every bit worth the price. They retain the best of the features from the predecessor and now take it up a notch with improvements such as ANC and wireless...

Active Noise Cancellation support, Long battery life, Comfortable fit

The Jabra Elite 85t—just like the Jabra Elite 75t and Jabra Elite 65t before them—are excellent earphones. Now with active noise canceling, Jabra's flagship true wireless earphones make a compelling case for your upgrade. However, a high pricetag might be out of your reach.

Adjustable noise cancelling and HearThrough; Bluetooth 5.1; USB-C; wireless; and fast charging; Bluetooth multipoint; IPX4 water-resistance; Useful mobile app; Ergonomic ear tips

Cost; SBC/AAC only; no aptX; Connection issues possible

Not without talent, but in the face of strong competition the Jabras come up a little short

Smooth; mature sound; Compact and comfortable; Good battery life

Lack dynamic and rhythmic expression; ANC can affect sound quality; Bettered by rivals

The Jabra Elite 85t earbuds are a frustrating mis-step from a company that doesn’t usually make them. On paper these have had a spec boost and added ANC, but none of that counts for much when the physical design lets the audio quality down so badly, letting in so much noise that the ANC is near-pointless.

Long battery life; Wireless charging; Clear microphone;

Poor noise seal limits ANC; Loose fit; Unreliable hear-through mode;

Great sound and good fit but the noise cancelling just does not work. Tried multiple sets and the same issue across all of them. Expected better for a product with a premium price tag.
