Jabra - Elite 85t
Noise Cancelling True Wireless EarbudsUnfortunately, even if we desire to, we won't be able to resurrect this product. The Museum is where we pay our respects to end-of-life, old, archived, but not forgotten products. This page was made with a lot of love and will live on for posterity. What to say, we're sentimental people. 😔

Customer Reviews
After having used it for three days on the recommendations of Headphone Guru, I see my money is wasted. Despite underlining my purpose i.e calling while on commute the product just don't seem to work for me. It's is excellent for music but for that you can lot of other products at lower price including Tevi and jabra 65 t and and 75 t as well.
Iam totally disappointed with the product and performance completely. Money wasted.
First let me be clear ,I am no audiophile .I like music very much and have a lot of gear like Beats Studio 3 wireless,Bose Sound sport free,V-Moda metallo Wireless, Dragonfly cobalt/red,1more quad driver, Fiio FH7 5 Drive/Q5 amp-dac and so on .
Now, when I first heard Jabra - Elite 85t , voice in the songs (Specially Mids) sounded distant/ muffled. Then I started to tweak it and found the right sound by manually adjusting equalizer and boosting Mids all the way up.
Now it sounds comparable to leading wired / wireless headphones.
Overall good one , you may have to look for your sound and make adjustments but you won't regret it imho.
So glad to know that you love them. We really appreciate your review, we hope it will help other potential customers to make an informed decision.
I want to know if i can use the left ear only just like i can use the right one when the left one is being charged
The product is excellent in terms of fitment and sound quality while listening to music or podcasts. Also, the app is extremely useful.
However, during calls a hissing sound is coming which is very disconcerting. Hope it goes away in due course.
Hey Chandrajit, thanks for sharing this positive feedback with us. In order to reduce the hissing sound, you can check the Jabra app and turn of the hear through mode. We hope this should help!

Wireless Range
You must have most likely noticed that wireless signals do not travel an infinite distance. The farther a wireless signal goes, the weaker it gets. This loss is known as path loss, and it defines the range of connectivity. This range of connectivity is dependent on the wireless protocol in use like Bluetooth. Three classes offer standard ranges of connectivity with Class 1 devices transmitting at 100 mW with a range of 100 meters or 328 feet. Most Bluetooth headsets and headphones are Class 2 devices that transmit at 2.5 mW with a range of 10 meters or 33 feet. Lastly, Class 3 devices transmit at 1 mW with a range of fewer than 10 meters.
Voice Assistant
These Museum offer you the convenience and functionality of using Voice assistants like Google Assist and Siri (dependent on your source device, be it Android or iOS) without having to disconnect them from your source device.
If you’re someone who summons the voice assistant on your device regularly to accomplish tasks, then these Museum are designed to be your friend.
You can expect these Museum to come equipped with a high-quality microphone to activate your voice assistant and mediate your voice commands. There is no complication or hassle as these Museum come with seamless support for voice commands.
Active Noise Cancellation
Everyone enjoys a little peace at some point and wants to shut themselves off from the outside world. This is where Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) comes into the picture. So what exactly is Active Noise Cancellation?
Noise Cancellation refers to blocking out background noise/ambient noise. But let's be clear: No Noise-Cancelling Museum can eliminate all sound; they can only considerably reduce outside noise, creating the impression that the noise is suppressed. However, when the phrase "Active Noise Cancellation" is used, it signifies that the Museum are actively searching for noise to block it out.
ANC is a technology that reduces or cancels out the surrounding or ambient noise. It reduces low-frequency noise like the sound of a jet engine or car engine. ANC specifically reduces low-frequency noise well. However, it is not capable of cancelling out high-frequency noise optimally. Museum with ANC deliver class-leading ambient noise reduction, significantly improving sound quality.
If you're someone who is a frequent flyer, ANC helps eliminate constant droning noises from jet engines so you can sleep more easily during long-haul flights.
