Once $229.99, you can grab these buds for just $199.99 in three metallic shades of titanium black, copper black or gold beige, saving you $30.
In testing, we found that they’re packed with some of the best features you'll find on the market: Think smooth, balanced sound, impressive active noise cancelation (ANC) and an open-style design, which means that their oval ear tips will provide a proper seal without "plugging up your ears." Similar to the AirPods Pro (199.98), their bulbous shape may provide an awkward fit (especially if you have a smaller ear canal), but will still deliver you an immersive sound experience like no other. When you have these buds in, you won’t hear yourself walking, jogging or even chewing, allowing you to stay tuned into your music at all times.
These headphones are also device agnostic, so you can pair them with any smartphone you desire, and use them hands-free with your chosen voice assistant. Their added features, such as customizable sound settings through Jabra’s stalwart Sound+ app and ability to seamlessly transfer between transparency and noise-cancelation modes, prompted our reviewers to rank them even over the ever-popular aforementioned AirPods Pro.
Their versatility also makes them popular with more than 800 Amazon buyers, who loved the 85t for their high sound quality and easy setup. Some buyers did have trouble using these headphones when making phone and Zoom calls, as their ambient noise was over-enhanced, muffling voices and making them nearly incomprehensible. We also weren't a fan of their water-resistance, since they weren't as "weather-ready" as other headphones from the same brand. Apart from that, however, they were dang near perfect.
If you need a pair of top-rated, affordable wireless headphones, the Jabra Elite 85t earbuds are for you. Grab a pair now—before their price shoots back up.
