Jamming To Music

Jabra advances the TWS ANC game with the Elite 85t

Jabra is rightly regarded as a one of the trusted brands for consumer Bluetooth personal audio technology, and with the Elite 85t true wireless earbuds, the Danish company has taken another step forward in advance Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) technology.

Like an increasing number of consumers, true wireless earbuds have become a necessity for me, be it for daily use, work calls or when commuting to different places. One problem that I encounter while using my wireless earbuds is that when speaking to people face to face, while still wearing my earbuds, I can barely hear them, which is probably due to the passive noise cancelling feature from the silicone earbud tips.

When using the Jabra Elite 85t, however, I didn’t face this problem. This is all because of Jabra’s latest and most advanced dedicated ANC chip that not only silences background noise effectively but also lets you tune in exterior noise via the HearThrough mode. This HearThrough function, as well as the earbud’s active noise cancellation strength, can be controlled to five levels via the Jabra Sound+ app. The Sound+ app allowed me to choose what sound modes I wish to have, the ability to customise the equalizer, or select from music presets.

For example, imagine the scenario where you are enjoying your music while on a walk in a busy shopping centre with ANC active so you don’t hear any disturbance from background noises, when someone approaches you to ask for directions. By just pressing the left earbud to enable the HearThrough function, I can clearly hear the queries the stranger asked me. After giving directions, Another press and I’m back to enjoying clear and crisp music.
