Customer Ratings & Reviews

Love 'em! I am a non techie but wanted on-ear headphones for some consulting zoom calls. Set-up was super easy, aside from the fact that I discovered my 5 year old desktop computer did not have bluetooth. So, after buying an inexpensive USB bluetooth device, they worked beautifully! Really nice for music streaming too. I was concerned about the microphone sound quality, but discovered neither I nor others could tell the difference between the built-in mic on the Jabra and the more traditional mic on my Logi camera.

These work great to watch tv without bothering my husband. Good value for the cost.

The wife loves the pink and rose gold color. Sound quality is exceptional. Battery has a (CENSORED) life! Buy these headphones.

Works good. Only backdrop is mute /unmute on the equipment

Still have them and they pleasure my orifices in a stimulating sensual manner

i really like the headphones. they have a long battery life and sound great. pairing was easy enough. would buy again.

Great value, sound great and easy to connect. They also have a very long battery life between charges.

The sound quality is good for the price paid, which was $100 at the time of purchase. The phones press on my ears a little too hard after a while, and they don’t rest comfortably on my neck. That being said, they still offer good sound for a lower barrier to entry.

Very pleased with the sound and they are very light weight…comfortable to wear. Good Value!

Was looking for an on-ear non-noise cancelling headphone and this looked like a winner but I think my hopes were a little too high. The build was plasticky and cheap. It was too small for my melon. The highlights were the quick pairing, USB C charging and the sound quality was fine. If you’ve got a tiny head, this will probably be acceptable at the sale price ($70~) provided you can get past the budget build quality. Gonna try the JBL Club 700 and Beats Solo Pro (yes, I’m aware of the cost and feature difference) but since I’m gonna be using these for work, the investment will be worth it. Stay tuned!

Awesome!! Just love these headphones they are lite weigh and the music comes out just beautiful.

This is an amazing pair of headphones. I charge it every two weeks and I use it everyday for around 2 hours. It has not died on my yet, but I charge is just to be safe. Sometimes I use it for up to 4-5 hours in a day. If you have small ears like myself it works well. I typically don't like over ear headphones because they cup my ears and make my head hurt. They are inexpensive, but mighty.

Great sound, great value, exceptional battery life! Highly recommended!!

I received this product in exchange for my fair and unbiased review. TL-DR - Jabra's Elite 45h wireless on-ear headphones are among the best Bluetooth headphones I've ever used. Between the excellent audio quality at any volume and with any genre of music, the basic EQ with 5 bands to adjust, the (admittedly weird-looking but) extremely comfortable ear pads, the hearing test that individualizes audio for you, and audio latency over Bluetooth that is nearly non-existent making it a joy to play games and watch video content, I could have paid 50% more for what Jabra's asking for the Elite 45h and still felt they were a good value. If you're looking for a great pair of Bluetooth headphones, these are more than worth checking out. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Unboxing and first impressions - One of the easiest headphone packages I've opened, period. When you pull the seal tabs and slide the package apart to open the inner box, you'll find the headphones and charge cord packaged in a neoprene sack. The charge cord, like 90% of charge cords that come with headphones, is admittedly short. The good news here, however, is that Jabra chose to use USB-C instead of microUSB so you won't need to fumble with plugging the connector in. This is also the first pair of headphones I've tested where I couldn't just turn them on and go; I don't know if they were completely discharged or just needed to be given a jolt of charge to wake up, but I left them charging for about 2 hours before using them. Just something of a heads up for those of you who might want to grab these and go with them. The headphones themselves are constructed well. The plastics feel substantial and like they wouldn't be out of place in a high-end car, the earphone extensions are made out of aluminum with an anodized space grey finish, and the material used for the headband and ear pads has a great feel and plenty of cushion to it. The earphone extensions slide in and out of the headband. The headband itself has lots of flex, but doesn't feel like it's going to snap unless you roughhouse it. I'd say these headphones would be great for listening at home or in the office, but I'd find something a little more sturdy if you want to wear them for a workout. One thing you'll need to download to take full advantage of the Elite 45h headphones is the Jabra Sound+ App. While you can pair the headphones before using the app on your iPhone or Android device, I highly recommend downloading the app first as it'll force you to re-pair the headphones to enable its functionality. The only thing I expected and didn't get with this headset was a port to use this headset with a traditional 3.5mm cable. Not a dealbreaker but a nice-to-have since this would let me use the headset with a laptop or other device without pairing to a second device. (Note to Jabra - USB-C supports ANALOG audio. I'd be okay with that as a solution.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Setup and usage - You'll want to charge this headset before you use it. I needed to. You'll then want to be in the Jabra Sound+ app on your phone for pairing and initial setup. If your phone asks, make sure the Sound+ app has permission to use Bluetooth, as you'll need that for performing firmware updates and adjusting audio settings. Once charged and the Sound+ app is open, turn the headphones on and tap on the Sound+ app to let it know to look for the headphones. Once they're paired, the Sound+ app will want to take you through a hearing test in order to tweak these headphones. By hearing test, I mean a quick version of the test an audiologist would give you. This will take a minute or two to complete. I was somewhat skeptical of this at first, but I flipped the headphones around and noticed a difference between the left and right sides between sound levels and tone. The Sound+ app also allows you to make adjustments to the way audio is reproduced by the Elite 45h headphones with a 5 band equalizer. I suggest listening to a song that you'd typically listen to that's bass-heavy, has lots of vocals, and crisp treble in it. I did this with a few tracks - "Satisfied" from the Hamilton cast recording, Limp BIzkit's cover of The Who's "Behind Blue Eyes", Richard Cheese's cover of the Nine Inch Nails classic "Closer", Arash Safaian's Beethoven-inspired work "Una fantasia", and Eminem's "Rap God". It didn't matter what I had the volume level set at, it all sounded good. I also found that no matter how much low-end or high-end a song had, I could turn the bass and treble all the way up and it didn't distort to a noticeable level for me, even if it got uncomfortably loud. For video and gaming - at least on iPhone - these headphones also work great. There was nearly imperceivable delay in the audio, so a game like Dark Echo or Sayonara Wild Hearts - both of which depend on sound for playing the game properly as much as the visuals - isn't made any harder. YouTube videos sound great, no matter what the content is (I tested with loud cars, people that talk, music - including chip tune, and things that explode). I also watched part of Greyhound on Apple TV+ and found the dynamic range of these headphones to be excellent, from the quiet scenes of dinner with a special someone to the explosive action of hunting and destroying a German U-Boat. The magic of the audio quality has the drivers Jabra used to thank. For 40mm units, they're very capable across the board. Bass is very deep - as deep as many 50mm headsets I've used in the past. They're terrific at reproducing a full range of audio. Battery life seems good. Over a 3 period of listening at high volume levels, my iPhone and the Jabra Sound+ app both reported 90% battery life left. I have a feeling these headphones could go a few days between charges. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Comfort and aesthetics - The ear pads, when I first saw them, made me wonder how comfortable this headset was going to be. Even with smaller headphones, I'm a fan of the cup pad design over the flat pad. While my ears did get a little warmer than they do with cup-type pads, the flat pads Jabra used were very comfortable and didn't leave my ears sweaty. Like most headphones, L and R are visible on the pads, making it easy to put these on properly. The black plastic, black pads, and dark grey metal mesh well from a design standpoint. The headband itself has enough flex to be comfortable on many sizes of head and hairdo. The adjustment mechanism slides smoothly but holds firmly, meaning once you found a good position for the headphones to rest in, they won't be moving on their own due to being loose. The plastics also don't feel like the typical cheap stuff manufacturers tend to use, but more like something that you'd find in a higher-end car. The Elite 45h does fold flat for storage and the neoprene bag is a cinch to use. However, the headphones don't fold into the headband like many other brands are designed to do. From a durability standpoint, this is a smart decision; however, these will take up more space in your bag, briefcase, or purse because of this. They're also not the lightest pair of headphones, but you trade durability for weight from my experience. The aluminum ear phone slides also aren't light weight, nor is a larger battery than most other headphones at this price. Also, that USB-C port looks great among a sea of headphones still rocking the microUSB port - especially in this price class. I just wish there was something covering it when it wasn't in use. (Added bonus - if you connect it to a computer, the headphones show up in Device Manager/System Information; they just don't work as USB headphones when connected that way.) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Conclusion - I honestly didn't expect these headphones to be as good as they are. While I do expect a lot out of 40mm headphones, I don't expect near-perfection at a price barely scraping under triple digits. While there are a couple of things that could improve in the next version or that could be improved with firmware, I'd score these as a 97 out of 100. Unless the flat ear pads are a dealbreaker for you, these should be your first choice. Do I recommend the Jabra Elite 45h? A whole-hearted YES I DO.

I've really liked the Jabra Elite earbuds, and this pair has been a great, simple, quality set that has been really great. As I'm typing this, a loud party is going on next door, and I quickly paired them to my TV and am watching in peace. They're not noise canceling, but they're a comfortable set with impressive sound and great value for the money!
