Jabra Elite 85h (very happy)

I was lucky enough to get a deal on the Revain ($192) for the Jabra Elite 85h. I've looked at Sony 1000XM3, Bose QCII and even ordered a Sennheiser 450BTNC which killed my head and ears. My requirements were: Bluetooth 5.0 USB-C, fast charging, active noise cancellation, Hi-Fi sound (AAC or APTX), battery life (40 hours). Best up to 200€. The Jabra Elite 85h has it all. AAC was added in a firmware update last year (version 1.41). So AAC is not listed in the original specifications. After downloading the Jabra app, the device has been updated. Many reviews don't have this updated information, so they scold them for not having an AAC codec. They do! I like the sound quality very much. IMO on par with Bose and Sony. Active noise cancellation and passive noise cancellation are also excellent. ANC has three different levels and even a "Listen" setting so you can hear your surroundings. The audio quality of the call is also incredible. The headphones have 4 microphones for noise cancellation and 4 additional microphones for phone calls. It also has a Google/Alexa assistant button. I love that the earbuds pause when you remove the earpads and turn off by simply rotating the earpads 90 degrees. They also turn on when you twist them to put them on your head. In addition, the earbuds do not flash at night. My last pair was pulsing blue light every 5 seconds so I needed duct tape to cover it for my wife to sleep at night. Jabra is also rainproof and comes with a 2-year guarantee. Which is very unusual. I did an awful lot of research and am very happy with the Jabra Elite 85h headphones. I hope this helps you in your own research.
