If you are searching for a device with powerful audio
performance here is Elite 65e from Jabra.
Elite 65e earphones are designed well, easy to use and
rests suitably
in the ears.
The Jabra Elite Active 65t are wireless earphones aimed at
vigorous usersThey are IP56 dust and water resistant and come with a two year
limited warranty against water and dust. Jabra claims the earphones can last up
to 5 hours on a single charge with the included wireless case providing an
additional 10 hours of use.
Jabra employs a 15mm dynamic driver in each ear for the
audio, and uses a three-microphone system to react to and cancel out ambient
noise. These ambient mics also can be used in HearThrough mode, allowing you to
monitor your surroundings without removing the earphones.
Design
Available in black the
left end of the device houses the
ANC/HearThrough button, as well as a Mic button for voice assistance (or
muting). There are three buttons on the right—a central button controls
playback, power, and pairing, and two outer plus and minus buttons handle
volume.
Around chin level on the right cable, there's a
larger-than-usual mic compartment. Using the Voice Memos app on an iPhone 6s,
we could clearly understand every word recorded—unique with Bluetooth earphone
mics.
There are three total pairs of silicone eartips included,
as well as three pairs of earfins that rest against the ear to provide a more
stable fit—the tips and fins come in small, medium, and large sizes. The
eartips are somewhat irregularly shaped—more like ovals than the typical
circular eartips we see. The in-ear fit is, as a result, secure without feeling
quite as intrusive as some in-canal eartips.
The earphones carry an IP54
rating, which means they're
protected against dust and light splashesIt's not required in order to use the
Elite 65e, but there is a free companion app, Jabra Sound+, that allows you to
customize the EQ settings to boost or cut bass, mids, and treble to your
liking. You can also enable noise cancellation using the app, or enable
HearThrough mode. A Concentration mode that plays pink noise, which is very
cool, and you can also choose to listen to the sound of ocean waves. If the app
is lacking one feature, it would be the ability to adjust the overall level of
noise cancellation, as you can with the Bose QuietControl 30.
In addition to the charging cable and earfit accessories,
the earphones ship with a neoprene zip-up pouch. Since the collar band is
rigid, there's no folding or winding, however, so the pouch has a somewhat
large footprint, but at least is quite flat, making it easy to carry.
Jabra rates battery life at roughly eight hours for active
noise cancellation and 13 hours for music playback with no ANC. Your results
will likely vary somewhere between those two numbers, depending both on your
volume levels and how often you use the ANC.
Jabra succeded in
eliminating unwanted noises like chatter and other sounds.
Conclusions
You get powerful audio performance that is completely
adjustable to your tastes, and the . If you feel the price is too much just for
a headset just know that you can't go any lower without making a serious
sacrifice in the noise cancellation portfolio.
