If you are in India and are looking for premium earbuds, then the Jabra Elite 85t should be on your list. The pair of TWS earbuds which launched in the US back in September has made its way to the Asian country. It brings with it customizable Active Noise Cancellation and a battery life that goes up to 25 hours.
The Jabra Elite 85t’s active noise cancellation feature can be customized, allowing the user to switch between up to 11 different levels. The lowest one is dubbed HearThrough a.k.a transparency mode, which allows environmental sounds to pass through. Each level is around 3db apart which is said to be the way the human ear best perceives differences in sound level.
Jabra uses dual-microphone technology for its digital active noise cancellation. Each earbud has a pair of microphones – one feedforward mic that cancels the noise from outside and one feedback mic that cancels the noise from inside the ear. The earbuds also feature 12mm drivers and support AAC and SBC codecs.
The earbuds feature three professional-grade microphones each for crystal clear calls. There is also a feature called sidetone that allows you to hear your own voice on calls. Other features are an IPX4 rating, customizable controls via the Sound+ app, and compatibility with both Google Assistant and Siri.
The Jabra Elite 85t lasts up to 7 hours on a single charge ( up to 30 hours with the case) with ANC turned off. When you turn on ANC, you get 5.5 hours with the earbuds and up to 25 hours with the case. The earbuds support fast charging, so a 15-minute charge will provide up to 1 hour of playback time. The case charges via a USB-C port and also supports Qi wireless charging.
The earbuds go on sale starting today on Amazon India for INR 18,999 (~$257) and they will be available in Titanium Black. The earbuds will come with three sizes of Jabra’s EarGels.
