Review on 🎧 Jabra Elite 85t True Wireless Earbuds: Advanced Noise-Cancelling, Superior Sound, and Premium Comfort - Copper Black by Chad Myers

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Two mistakes too many for flagship headphones

Good:1. Very good sound. Not as much bass as its predecessor, the 75t, but that seems intentional. The 85t seems built for realistic sound, or the sound the artist's sound engineers intended. As an indicator of improved sound quality, the drivers (speakers) on the 85t are twice the size of those on the 75t.2. Charging case upgrade, e.g. B. wireless charging. bad1. Incredibly inconvenient and annoying Bluetooth connection issues. This is the main reason for my 2/5 rating. True flagship Bluetooth wireless headphones, especially those priced over $200, should NOT have annoying Bluetooth connectivity issues. There is a good chance this is an Apple issue as all three of my Apple devices (iPod, iMac and MacBook Pro) have this issue. But I've noticed the same issues with Jabra's own Sound+ app. Maybe I have defective headphones? All I know is that it shouldn't be that hard to reconnect to my devices. It's as annoying as having twins at the same time. The Sound+ app freezes A LOT, at least on the iPod. This is unforgivable for a headphone manufacturer's app, especially since that app is required to take advantage of the advanced features of these expensive headphones. Jabra: UPDATE YOUR APP IN THE APPLE STORE SO IT WILL NOT FREEZE.3. Water resistance is less than 75T. Verdict: Very good sounding headphones, but Jabra still needs to fix a few issues (probably with firmware updates) before I can recommend these expensive flagship headphones.

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Very expensive
