Jabra Elite 85h Review and Specs

Jabra Elite 85h are versatile over ear headphones of an American brand. They have closed back cups and support wireless and wired connection. Being represented with these and more functions they are a decent choice for many users. I have a chance to test them on my own and hope it will help you to figure out your right choice.

Features

Jabra Elite 85h specs represent a pretty well range of frequency response of 10Hz-20KHz. The battery life impresses with 36 hours of life with and 41 without ANC switched on. There is a speed charge option, but no battery free listening mode.

Jabra Elite 85h review

Sound

I like the brightness of highs and bass strength together with an excellent mid-range reproduction.

Noise cancelling

The adjustable active noise cancelling is a great plus, but it is not as good as with many other wireless headphones. Also it works for music listening mode only and does not switch for calls. The option also cancels low volume noise only.

Connectivity

The headphones Jabra Elite 85h are used with a wire and wireless with a Bluetooth connection. The detachable audio cable is 120 cm/3.9 ft long. The Bluetooth version is 5.0.

Comfort and design

Jabra Elite 85h is very comfortable and lightweight. It is 295/10.4 oz. The adjustable headband is comfortable and well padded as well as the ear cups with thick cushions. Large ear cups fit comfy on most ears but they are sweaty for activities. They lay flat but steel are cumbersome and do not fold.

There is a nice representation of control options with built-in buttons, app and voice control that allows volume adjusting, answer/end call, pause/play, next/previous track, noise cancelling level, and voice assistant.
