Jabra, a brand formerly best-known for its professional Bluetooth headsets, has spent the past few years making a name for itself in high-quality headphones and earphones.
At the Techfluence CES 2021 pre-event, the company took to the (virtual) floor to demo its latest True Wireless Earphones, the Jabra Elite 85t.
Jabra Elite 85t Available in Four New Colors
Jabra's consumer headphones are notable for their excellent noise cancellation. Although this is often a feature reserved for over-ear headphones, like with the well-reviewed Jabra Elite 85h, it is increasingly available with premium sets of True Wireless Earbuds. The Elite 85t were initially released in October 2020, but only in a single color variant; Titanium/black.
At the Techfluence event, the company announced that the headphones are now available in Gold/Beige, Copper/Black, Black, and Grey. Although this might seem like a trivial development, headphones are a visible way to express yourself with technology. True wireless sets, in particular, are minimal but offer an opportunity to accent your look.
High-Performance Noise Cancellation
Fortunately, the Jabra Elite 85t aren't only aesthetically pleasing; they are also some of the best noise-canceling earbuds available today. Each earbud comes with a silicon EarGel, which helps secure them in your ears. This is important not just to prevent them from falling out but also forms a seal for effective noise cancellation.
The earbuds are IPX4-rated for water-resistance so that you can use them for workouts or walks in light rain. The case is compatible with Qi-based wireless chargers. That said, you shouldn't need to top them up too often as each earbud can last up to 5.5 hours, with an additional 25 hours provided by the charging case.
The Elite 85t come equipped with a dedicated ANC chip, complete with the company's HearThrough feature, which allows you to keep aware of your surroundings. The earbuds are also compatible with Siri and Google Assistant. You can customize the settings, adjust the EQ, and upgrade the firmware using the Jabra Sound+ app on your smartphone, too.
Where Can You Buy The Jabra Elite 85t?
The good news is that you don't have to wait to invest in a set of noise-canceling earbuds. The original Titanium/black edition launched in October 2020, and you can find them at most electronics retailers.
You could also grab a set of the Jabra Elite 85t on Amazon.com. Jabra will be presenting across the CES 2021 online event and have said that the new color variants will be available at select retailers.
