Jabra launches two new sets of wireless earbuds, each with long battery life, noise cancellation and support for spatial audio.
No more Jabra Elite earbuds!
A new pair of Jabra Elite series earbuds are hitting store shelves both online and offline, each with their own specializations. The Elite 8 Active earbuds are designed to withstand the rigors of a more active lifestyle, while the Elite 10 promises optimized comfort and sound quality for both work and everyday life.
The Elite 8 Active earbuds have an IP68 rating against dust, water, and sweat (and are drop-resistant from approximately three feet), while the charging case has an IP54 rating for dust and splashes. They also offer active noise cancellation (ANC), Dolby Audio support, Multipoint Bluetooth connectivity, and claim to reduce the effects of wind on both the speakers and microphones. Jabra also says the Elite 8 earbuds can offer up to eight hours of battery life with ANC turned on, or up to 32 hours with the charging case.
Durability isn’t as much of a focus with the Elite 10 buds, but they retain the Multipoint Bluetooth connectivity option, an IP57 rating for dust and moisture, and wind noise reduction. They also have improved ANC over the Elite 8 Active model (and some other Jabra buds) with “Jabra Advanced ANC,” which the company says blocks out about twice as much noise.
