Nowadays wireless headphones are a must-have accessory for millions of people. A while ago there were few who believed that these headphones would succeed against the sound quality and isolation that more conventional over-ear headphones can offer, but over time this has changed in favor of smaller headphones like the ones ear that offer impressive audio quality, portability and a really good noise cancellation option for a while.

It is clear that not all users feel comfortable with this type of headset that remains in the ear, but without a doubt the quality of these has advanced to such an extent that today you wear them and you do not even realize it ... For some of you the Jabra signature is well known and in this case we have the possibility to test the new Jabra Elite 85t wireless headphones.

The new Jabra Elite 85t design and quality of materials that borders on the excellent

In this sense, when we look at wireless headphones we also have to look at their charging box, their exterior design once they are on, the resistance of the materials against possible accidental drops, in addition to the audio quality of course. We will talk later about the audio and it is that today with the applications offered by the manufacturers of these in-ear headphones you can take a tremendous advantage of them.

About the design of these Jabra Elite 85t there is nothing negative we can say. The shape they have allows an almost perfect hold for most people, they have a really nice design visible and being so compact it allows us to take them anywhere without problem.

The quality of the materials from which these Jabra headphones are made verge on excellent. We cannot complain about anything, they show quality in the design but above all in the materials and this makes us have headphones for a long time.

Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) and HearThrough

In this case, the Elite 85t offer a spectacular Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that is capable of blocking outside noise in a way never seen before. We can say that in this noise cancellation the Elite 85 are at the height of Apple's AirPods Pro without any fear since also thanks to the application we can add a level of cancellation to taste. This is achieved with the different levels of noise cancellation along with the HearThrough.

HearThrough, is the term used by the firm to identify the transparency mode. In this sense there is not much to explain since together with the noise cancellation both functions help us to have a perfect level of isolation from the outside while still listening to a possible conversation with anyone.

Jabra engineers have specifically developed 11 sound levels to deliver optimal performance. Each level (from full ANC to full HearThrough, and the remaining nine), differs from the level before and after by approximately 3 db, offering a noticeable change with each jump. With a maximum ANC level of the best on the market, the 11 levels are all you need for a great experience.

To activate this noise cancellation or the HearThrough, just activate it directly from the app or simply with a gesture on the headphones themselves. Having a physical button on the headphones themselves prevents inadvertent tapping on the headset and this changes from one mode to another. The negative is the "click" that is heard when you click on it, but I personally appreciate it since on many occasions when you readjust the headset for some reason you can make an involuntary touch on them.

The sound quality in these Jabra is indisputable

We can agree that not having aptX compatibility is something that many users may not like but really these headphones are impressive in terms of sound quality what are you offering. In addition, added to the very good noise cancellation they offer and their own transparency mode, they seem to us to be headphones of indisputable quality.

It is a new model that we have to take into account if we want headphones that offer sound quality elevated. For this model of high-end headphones we cannot think that its price is high and that is that in our case "the top" is set by the AirPods Pro and in this sense the Jabra are much cheaper -without taking into account possible offers from the Pro- that Apple's in-ear.

All the different options offered in the audio configuration and settings from your Jabra Sound + app available for devices iOS y Android which of course is totally free, they add a plus to the available audio options. We have not fiddled with the settings of the Jabra Elite 85t and the factory settings are really good.

La impressive audio quality in addition to noise cancellation They make them a top-of-the-line rival to today's AirPods Pro. We can definitely recommend them for all users looking for a superior audio experience.

Jabra Elite 85t colors

We can find these headphones in various finishes. Ours are the model in Titanium Black and personally speaking I think it is undoubtedly the best choice, but as for tastes the colors in Jabra offer us the option to choose between these and: Black, Copper Black, Gray and Gold Beige.

It should be noted that the box of these headphones has wireless charging and they are logically compatible with all Qi certified chargers. If you run out of battery, you can simply use any charging base you have at home or directly use the USB-C cable that is added in them.

The load they offer is enough for a day of intense exercise and end the day. Jabra tells us that its duration is about 7 hours if we do not use active noise cancellation and one hour less in the case of using it. Obviously this will depend on the volume of use and other factors, but roughly it is quite accurate. We can charge the Jabra with fast charge and in 15 minutes they will provide about 1 hour of use price is 229 euros and logically we are not facing headphones that we can say are cheap. This is clearly offset by the quality of the headphones and the sound they are capable of delivering. It is about high-end headphones.
