Jabra Elite 85h Headphones

Take a good, hard look at the photo…this is the worst thing Jabra did to it! They just had to crap it up with that disgusting fabric, and now I’ll need a dedicated brush just to clean it! Some of us have embarrassing dandruff issues, and that sickly beige/white is not a color which most of us dudes would order! Would be right decent if they offered this in silver or just dropped the ridiculously cheesy fabric!

Active noise canceling works adequately if you’re on a plane, but not as good as the more expensive Sony. Music sounds good if you don’t rely on that stupid app. You need your own app with an equalizer. Seriously, I’m not an audiophile, and their app muddles the sound horribly compared to free Musicolette! Also, if you go for those streaming services I feel sorry for you.

The battery is another reason that this set is a keeper, holds a charge for 36 hours.

Not uncomfortable to wear for several hours either, and I wear glasses!

Look great and very comfortable. Sound is awesome

Si no eres audiofilo estos audífonos cumplen y muy bien se escucha bien, el modo transparencia es increíble sin embargo el modo cancelación de ruido me quedo a deber lo siento un poco flojo es lo único que le puedo reprochar, la calidad de los audífonos tanto sus materiales y su funda son de otro mundo vale cada centavo estos audífonos son calidad precio

Delivery from the US took no time at all which was surprising in the current climate. Sound quality, noise cancellation and battery life are all fantastic. Jabra 85h headphones are the best set of headphones I ever bought.

I’ve been using these daily since I got them, and I do like them a lot! I’ve never really had high-quality headphones before, and it’s made listening to music a LOT more fun. Overall, I’d recommend. But here are some specific points:

PROS:
– Great sound quality
– VERY comfortable
– Decent ANC, and great when music is being played on top (although these are my first noise-cancelling headphones, so I don’t really have a good point of reference)
– Great battery life/quick recharge time
– Good mic (according to my friends, who are hearing an upgrade from my trash $25 gaming headset!)
– Not fragile (what can I say, I’m clumsy!!)

CONS:
– Calls automatically put you on hear-through mode, which can be annoying
– Can’t take a call and listen to other things simultaneously – that is to say, if you want to call a friend and play a game together, you won’t be able to hear the game’s audio
– Headphones automatically pause music when they’re removed, which can get annoying as they’re somewhat overly sensitive to movement
– These are marketed for mobile use for a reason. They CAN be used on PC but it’s kind of a pain.
– If you have the headphones connected to PC and mobile, and you turn off bluetooth on mobile, it plays this awful high pitched buzzing noise that only stops when you turn the headphones off. Boots up just fine after that though. I get that it’s an error thing, but augh god my ears help

NEUTRAL:
– There’s an app? I have no idea how to use it, or if I should use it. I’ve heard incredibly mixed reviews on whether using the equalizer actually enhances the Musical Experience.
– Volume range is decent, but I do wish they would go a LITTLE louder. Maybe it’s for the best that I’m not constantly blasting my eardrums out though lol.
– Prone to sliding off when there’s too much movement – probably won’t be much of an issue, just be careful headbanging unless you’ve got one hand keeping your headphones on!

OVERALL:
I got a 2 year warranty on these bad boys, so we’re gonna be together for a long time. I definitely don’t regret getting them, but I *do* regret not doing a bit more research before I invested in them. Still, for the price, the quality and longevity is more than worth it. So, would recommend, but remember: these are quite the investment, so make sure you’re gonna be alright with the annoying parts!
