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.

Equipped with powerful specs and impressive ANC, the Jabra Elite 85t is a stellar-sounding sequel in Jabra’s critically beloved series. The Elite 85t is a great pair of noise-cancelling headphones that deserves recognition in the best-in-class conversation.

Bold, dynamic sound, Strong active noise cancellation, Deluxe design, Lots of personalization features via companion app, Robust spec sheet

Some bugs in the system, Battery life could be better

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;

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—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.

The true wireless Jabra Elite 85t earphones deliver top-shelf noise cancellation and excellent audio performance, both of which you can tune to your taste.

Powerful audio performance with boosted bass and sculpted highs; Top-notch noise cancellation; Adjustable EQ and on-ear controls; Water-resistant design

Expensive; Default sound signature isn't for those seeking accuracy

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.
