Customer Ratings & Reviews

Pros: Great sound , call clairty is good. Custom buttons and all. Cons: Doesnt fit well in standard sizes ears. I have 75t and they for extremely well. If you have bigger years these probably will fit.

Replaced a lost Jabra 75. noise cancellation is fabulous. Easy to pair. nice form. Battery life is not bad either. Could be longer lasting.

I love just about everything about these. I wish I could use both sides alone and not just the right side but that’s my only complaint.

The last generation was better , the system to block the sound is good but sounds like you are talking in a deep tunnel.... Music sound is good and for me is a little big the size or the earpiece ..

It works as intended and the ANC works really well. Overall very comfortable. Bass feels a little bloated but can be turned down through the EQ.

Full disclosure - I am new to the earbud wearing world. My last pair of ear bobbles were worn over the ear so … I felt like they were going to fall out so much it distracted me from what I was using them for. Otherwise I am very impressed!

Jabra is no joke they update constantly and troubleshoot any problems these and the powerful anc are topshelf best in the market

These are performing as advertised — noise cancelling for work, and great for listening to music.

Beat use to be good till ape took them over. I am a samsung user and these 85ts sound so much better and doesn't care if your apple or android.

The sound clarity is the best I've ever heard. I like everything about these except they fall out of my ear on occasion. Your results may vary. The button controls are all I need and they have a lot of well thought out functions.

The sound quality of this headphones are amazing! I highly recommend it! It worth the price. 10/10

AMAZING! When i put these in my ears, the rest of the world fades away! These little earbuds have some serious BOOM!

Sound quality is one of the best on the market easy to use economical just the right size I am very pleased with this purchase

This is the second pair i have bought one for me and the other my wive she liked mines so much she wanted a pair.

They are great. I love them. I never have a problem with them falling out of my ears like I have had with other brands.

Love these earbuds. They sound great especially with the personalized sound you get with the app.

I bought these to replace another set of ear buds. They kept falling out of my ears when I bent down. The sound was good though. They beed to revamp , maybe put a ear hook or lanyard.

I've used Jabra products for numerous years, these are a great addition to the Jabra lineup.

If you’ve seen any of my other reviews for wireless earbuds, you may wonder why I have so many. It’s because I have a problem—I love these things and I’ve been in search of the perfect set of true wireless earbuds. Getting so many different types has allowed me to really figure out what I like and what I don’t. I’ve always thought of Jabra’s offerings as being at or near the top of the charts, so when I heard they were coming out with new earbuds, I jumped at the chance to get a pair. I’ve never had a pair of Jabra’s earbuds before, so I didn’t get to experience the 75Ts. The newer version, the 85T, improves on the previous model by adding active noise cancellation (ANC). At the same time, Jabra has complicated matters by releasing a firmware update for the 75T that adds ANC to that model as well. The difference is that the 85T has a dedicated chip to handle the ANC duties, as well as some extra microphones to make it more effective. Everybody has certain criteria that they use to evaluate wireless earbuds. We’re all evaluating the same features, but we may have them in different order. For me, the top 4 things I look for are fit/comfort, sound quality, connection stability and functionality. Battery life follows right behind these, but my typical use is generally satisfied by the battery life offered by most all major brands, so I didn’t include battery life in my top 4. Let’s get into some details. Fit: I didn’t realize how important fit and comfort would be for me, but I think it’s become such a big deal because true wireless earbuds have to pack so much circuitry into a small space, and not every company does a good job with that. It’s important that the earbuds be balanced and not sticking way out of my ears. Several manufacturers add “wings” or “fins” that go into the outer part of your ear, helping to keep them from falling out. I hate those things, and I have yet to find any of those designs that are comfortable to wear for extended periods without needing constant adjusting. Thankfully, the Jabra 85Ts do not need any sort of fin to make them fit. They’re small and light, and I couldn’t believe how easy they were to insert into my ear. Jabra tried something different with the 85T. Instead of using the typical circular-shaped ear tips, they went with an oval shape to provide a semi-open design. With ANC turned off, you can definitely hear more of the sounds around you than if they were completely sealed inside the ear canal. This will perhaps be one of those things that you either love or hate. To be honest, I didn’t know about this when I ordered mine, so I wasn’t sure how I would like it when they finally arrived, but I was pleasantly surprised at just how comfortable they were. My ears didn’t feel like they were stuffed with something, and that allowed me to wear them for hours with no discomfort at all! It’s true that a good seal does help with the bass, but I feel like this is a worthy trade-off. The Jabra 85Ts are so light and slip in the ear so easily, I often had to check to make sure they were still in place. I never once found them to have come loose, nor did they fall out even if I deliberately shook my head. I think I’ve been trained by other brands to have to adjust them constantly, but that is definitely not a problem with these. I am thrilled by the comfort level of these buds. Sound quality: Sound quality is pretty subjective, so your mileage may vary, but in my opinion, the Jabra 85Ts have very good sound quality. Until I got these, I thought the Sony WF-SP800N earbuds were my favorites in terms of good sound quality. In a direct comparison, the Sonys were a bit louder, and maybe a bit brighter, but the Jabras feature a much fuller, richer sound. The SP800Ns have more bass and crisper highs, but I think the overall sound of the Jabras is preferable, with the overall sound stage feeling a bit more open to me. The Jabra app is very good at providing options for adjusting the sound. You can choose a preset EQ option or tailor it yourself using a 5-band graphic equalizer. The settings are saved to the buds and carry over, no matter which app you use for listening. The active noise cancellation is pretty impressive. Jabra has also included a “hear through” mode that turns off ANC for times when you need to hear what’s going on around you. Hear through uses the microphones to let you hear the sounds around you. This isn’t unique to Jabra, but what is unique is that the Jabras allow you to switch back and forth between hear through and ANC with a single press of a button. Others force you to cycle through various levels of noise cancellation, but Jabra’s approach is much more convenient for when you just need to check in on your surroundings and then want to get back to your music. The more I listened to these, the better I thought they sounded. Together with a comfortable fit, that made them a winner in my book! Connection stability: This is another one of those things that I didn’t think would be so important, but you quickly realize how important it is when you’re constantly interrupted by a drop in the signal between your buds and the phone. Even if it’s just a second, it’s very disconcerting and annoying. While I’ve only had the Jabras for a few days, I’m happy to report that I haven’t had the connection drop even once yet. Walking around my house never posed a problem either. Jabra is still using the master/slave architecture for these buds, and I find that to be a little less robust than having each bud connect independently, but so far I haven’t had any problems whatsoever. Some reviewers have complained about being forced to use the right bud if they only want to use one, but I have no need to use only one, so that was not an issue for me. The 85Ts connect to my phone in the time it takes to pick up one earbud and put it in my ear, so speed is not a problem. Functionality: I was a little leery when I found out that Jabra still uses a physical button on these earbuds. I’ve had other brands where the button was so hard to press that I ended up shoving the earbud too deeply into my ear every time I used the button. Thankfully, that is not the case for the 85Ts. In fact, Jabra’s implementation of the buttons works so well that I’ve come to like it better than touch-sensitive controls. The physical button is easy to depress and works every time—I don’t have to find the “sweet spot” in order for it to work. The buttons are completely customizable, so you can tailor their features to your liking, and Jabra includes a wide range of functions that the buttons can do, including answering/rejecting calls, volume up/down, track skipping and play/pause. Using the 85Ts for phone calls works very well. I got no complaints about my voice, and being able to use both earbuds for calls meant that I could hear the person on the other end very well. Long conference calls is where the comfort really comes into play. These earbuds also feature the ability to stop the music when you remove one from your ear. This is a nice feature and works well, with one caveat. Removing the right earbud will cause the left to emanate a loud “pop” in your ear. It’s not a big deal, but it’s annoying, and hopefully something that can be corrected in a future firmware update. The case is a great size, small enough to fit in your pocket, but big enough to include a reasonably sized battery. It can be charged with the included USB-C cable, or wirelessly using a Qi charger, if you prefer. It’s nice to have the flexibility to charge either way. The Jabra Sound+ app is very nice and well designed. You can go through a hearing test to tweak the sound to your individual hearing. I did this, but I’m not sure how to tell whether it made a difference. As I mentioned before, you can save EQ settings, as well as controlling how much or how little ANC you want to use. The app even includes some white noise, such as ocean waves, for when you just want to shut the world out. I thought this was a very nice touch. I’ve used a lot of different earbuds, and there are a lot of good ones out there, but these Jabra 85Ts have now moved to the top of my list. Their combination of good sound quality and excellent comfort make them my new go-to earbuds. I do think they’re too expensive, but hopefully discounts will become common soon. Because of the big price difference over the 75T, the 85T is not quite as good of a value, but it may be worth it because of the better ANC and comfort. I’m sure I’ll still be tempted by other brands and models, but now they have a new king of the hill with which to compete!

Great ear buds. These work very well. They are noticeably better for listening to music than the air pod pros.
