**Testing Active Noise Cancellation: A Comparison of Top Earbuds**
As we continue to push the boundaries of sound quality and innovation, it's essential to test the top earbuds on the market. In this article, we'll put the Jabber Elite 85t through its paces, comparing it against other heavy hitters in the industry.
**Testing Active Noise Cancellation**
I took the Jabber Elite 85t outside and hit the streets, testing them out against three of the heaviest hitters: Bose, Sennheiser Momentum Twos, and Techniques. While the 75t from Jabber was a solid performer, it didn't quite match the cancellation capabilities of its 85t counterpart. The 85ts did an excellent job of cancelling out noise, particularly in loud environments like near a firehouse.
**Sound Quality Comparison**
When it comes to sound quality, I was impressed by the 75t's bass-heavy sound signature. While not as balanced as the 85t, it still delivered impressive volume levels and deep bass notes. However, if you're a heavy bass head, the 75t is the way to go. In contrast, the 85t offered a more nuanced sound with better clarity.
**ANC Performance**
In terms of active noise cancellation (ANC), both earbuds performed well, but the 85t edged out the 75t in this department. The ANC on the 85t was top-notch, effectively blocking out background noise and creating an immersive listening experience.
**Wireless Charging and App Customization**
One of the standout features of the Jabber Elite 85t is its wireless charging case and impressive app customization options. With a user-friendly interface and extensive EQ settings, it's easy to tailor the sound to your preferences.
**Battery Life and Overall Performance**
The 85t delivered an impressive seven hours of battery life with ANC enabled, making it a solid choice for long listening sessions or daily commutes. The earbuds also feature crystal-clear phone calls, no lag when watching videos, and a snug fit that will keep you comfortable all day.
**Conclusion**
Overall, the Jabber Elite 85t is an exceptional earbud that excels in sound quality, ANC performance, and overall value. While it may not surpass its 75t counterpart in terms of bass output, it offers more balanced and nuanced sound. If your focus is on noise cancellation, go with the 85t; for those prioritizing sound quality and bass heavy sound signature, opt for the 75t.
**Recommendation**
If you're looking for an all-around performer, the Jabber Elite 85t is a top choice. With its wireless charging case, extensive app customization options, and exceptional ANC performance, it's an excellent value at $230. When choosing between the 75t and 85t, consider your priorities: if sound quality is paramount, go with the 75t; for those seeking balanced sound and better ANC performance, opt for the 85t.
**Additional Notes**
Before we wrap up, I'd like to mention that while the Jabber Elite 85t is an excellent performer, it does have one significant drawback: the inability to use either earbud independently. However, this minor limitation is largely offset by the many strengths of this exceptional earbud.
