Jabra - Elite 85t True Wireless Advanced Active Noise Cancelling Earbuds - Titanium Black

The jabre elite 85t earbuds are the best set of earbuds that I have found after an exhaustive search. My search for the perfect headphones has led me to try just about every one of it's competitors--Samsung Galaxy buds pro, Samsung Galaxy buds live, Beats powerbeats pro, Sony WF-SP800N, Apple airpods pro, and Bose SoundSport--before finally settling on the Jabre elite 85t. While there are specific griped that I found unappealing with it's competition, the main reason why I've settled on these is that it provides all the software capabilities I require to use them for all of my headphone needs while providing excellent comfort and decent battery life. At work I am able to connect to both my work and personal phone simultaneously and answer calls on either phone. I spend at least 4 hours a day on the phone and the digital ANC Jabre has is among the best I've found in a true earbud. Though they boast an all day battery I've typically been able to get about 5 hours on any given charge using nonstop between listening to media and answering phone calls before requiring a charge. The charging case and it's fast charge is a godsend as it provides the fastest charge I've seen. The six microphones these boast picks up your voice clearly when answering calls or online meetings which is a major issue among the competitors. You are able to customize preferences based on the function you are performing such as listening to audio and having a phone call which gives you the controls of your audio specific to what you are doing. I do wish Jabre would allow you to utilize just the left headphone without using the right one but unfortunately you can only operate with one headphone when using the right bud. The jabre software allows for customization of many functions to control media on your device without sacrificing design with buttons. You are able to set functions for one, two, and three taps for both the left and right headset which covers many of the controls you'd need to control your device without having to open the phone. You are even able to customize the sound to utilizing their software which does help if you are riding them for listening to music. While working out these headphones for snug enough to not dislodge even while running and it's water resistance means you don't need to worry about sweating while wearing them. One other feature, hear through, allows you to toggle between noise cancellation mode to being able to hear ambient noise clearly at the touch of a bud. The six microphones seamlessly allow ambient room noise to be heard and then removed by toggling the mode back to ANC which I haven't found in any other ear bud. It is a culmination of these features coupled with it's snug yet not invasive design, ability to pair with multiple devices, hear through and ANC modes, water resistance and multi on board microphones for improved speech clarity without sacrificing sound quality which separates this product from any other one I've encountered in the market.

The ANC feature on this works great. They don't fit well into my ear canal as the plugs are more oval than circular and they move around a little while running. The 85t is on the left in the picture The battery doesn't last as long as the 75t. The sound is great and the distance connection is better than the 75t.

Great Earbuds with amazing sound and sound cancellation with the right amount of charge for every day use but they sometimes fail to stay disconnected in their case if you have it moving around in your pocket

2020 launched...and still considered the best overall earphone out today. Yes you can get in line with all the hype on the latest earphones out there today. Tones of brands have launched recently their new products. I know because i have them or have returned them for not living up to their promises. As it stands right now the Jabra 85t represents the best overall earphone based on sound quality, comfort, apps and feature set along with great battery life and wireless charging, and phone quality. Its almost embarrassing for brands like Sony and others who just launched recently and still can't even connect to multiple sources still in 2021 and yet the 85ts do. And at $179 right now ..its a no-brainer.

I really like the Jabra earbuds I started with the 65t and they have gotten better and better each time and these pair sound excellent and the noise cancelling is awesome, I can concentrate on what I want to hear or just not listen to what is around me as when I am on a flight. I would have liked them to be a bit smaller but overall they sound excellent. The application is a great addition to making them sound great and also to know the battery life and customizing them to my liking.

Although the 85t has been out for awhile... Jabra still continues to deliver with each iteration. The 75t's are still going strong, the 85t's are a different take to the TWS space for Jabra. Now they have the Elite 3, Elite 7 Active, Elite 7 Pro - but of all the Jabra's I have tried (75t, 85t, Elite 7 Active and 7 Pro) the ones I continue to use more often are the 75t but now the 85t have moved to my Top 3 dailies - XM4, AirPods Pro & 85t. The Elite 7 Active & 7 Pro sound nearly identical if not the same! Let's just the sound evsn after some EQ tweaks did not impress! Sound was sort of bland and uneventful... So back they went! picked up the 85t again lol since I already had the 75t and man! the level of comfort for me was what mads them pleasant. The 7 series are comfortable for sure but something about the semi-open design and contrary to popular opinion I very much enjoy the oblong ear tips. The ANC is effective, the best? no. Sound Quality is good, above average, the best? no. Call Quality is superb... the best? no. But Jabra doing everything good and above average in each important segment for a TWS set have pushed these to my Top 3 dailies. So of course this is all opinion based and subjective but give them a try - who knows you may enjoy them as much as I do!

I've had these for over a year now and figured I'd add my $.02 - I really appreciate how easily these connect to various devices (up to 2 at a time). The app makes it easy to control the various modes and features, or check the battery levels. ANC works very well, and call quality is good. Sound wise they are pretty good, but they don't blow me away. They are comfortable and stay in the ear well when running. I knocked off 1 star because for some reason when using these for Teams meetings on my laptop they die really fast (under an hour). For other platforms (zoom etc) and listening to music i typically get around 5 hours.

Lets skip to the good parts here.. Sound and fit are the top two things that more important than anything. After a life of earphones from sony, sennheiser, master snd dynamics, and plenty of others..I have decided to sell or give away every single earphone I have and keep only these because of their fit and sound quality. The bass is so rich and accurately fast when you adjust the EQ. The Mids are even better than 90% pr more of the earphones out there. And the highs are perfectly crisp without overly doing it. And when you fit them into your ears ...you forget they are there. They when vents that prevent cabin pressure from building inside your ears and head ..which some people like the new Sonys left out of their product. So wearing these for over 2 or 3 hours is no problem whatsoever. The icing on the cake is amazing battery life and perfect ANC that rivals even Airpods. And then for icecream you get the very best app and features customization ever found on any earphone ever relessed. Bottom line people at this sales price of $170 these are easily the best overall earphone on the market today at any price.
