Jabra Elite 85h Over-Ear Headphones Amazon Edition – Active Noise Cancelling Wireless Earphones with Long Battery Life for Calls and Music – Copper Black

I've had these for nearly a year and they still work as well as they did when I first got them.Battery - keeps charge for ages, even with constant use would only require an hour or two or charging every few days.Sound quality - no complaints though I am no expert. Don't ever get crackling or disruptions.Bluetooth - really long range, doesn't drop out.Comfort - sits really comfortably even now. Some headphones have the cushions on the ears degrade but these are in good nick even now a year later.Storeability? - does really well in a big as it twists to become more compact. Initially I was very gentle but they are sturdy even just getting chucked in a bag.Noise cancellation - it works, not perfectly but well enough. Also has hear through feature which is useful at work or commuting.

Really happy with this one, I also have a Bose so can compare pros and cons. Good things first, excellent sound, superb build quality, look great, really comfortable even with bigger head (62 cm and I have a bit of play left) really smart turning on and off automatically, long battery life, good for calls as you would expect from Jabra. On the downside it has a weird habit to switch to listen through mode on a conf call by default. Really strange! I want to hear what is being said, not the airport noise!! I found you can switch back to noise cancelling in the app but have to do it every time. Hope that will be fixed with future software updates.

Likes: they are very comfortable and feel solid even when put in a rumbling rucksack without the case. I fell off my skateboard with these on and they took a massive hit (probably saved my head too!) and they only have one deep scratch, perfect functionality.The sound quality* for me I had to tweak the eq both in Spotify and the manufacturers app, after listening for a few months the drivers have definitely loosened up a bit and sound better than when I first got them. Bass is controlled and warm. I’d say 7/10 bass intensity.The design is nice, just wish it was a little less bulky in places.Love the quick switching between ANC and hear through, super handy!Dislikes:The app can be confusing at first or when switching devices. I have to hold the reset button on the headphones, then forget device on my phone, and then turn Bluetooth on and off to make this work… a bit of a faff!Wish it had a higher quality audio codec, this would help the sound quality and bass if it was higher quality than it is.Buttons are a bit deep and clicky. You can feel yourself pushing them into your head sometimes.BATTERY LASTS FOR AGESSSSSSS. Charged twice in 4 months. Taken on multiple trips and commuting.Quick Pairing is amazing and the voice assistant is useful (this isn’t the same as Alexa or Siri)Overall: I’d say for the price: 7/10. If you can justify nearly £300 for Sonys than these are a nice more budget friendly midtier headphone. However, Sony XM3s are a similar price and are probably a better more solid choice. Next time I’d pick Sony but I’m not disappointed as these are very enjoyable and comfortable to wear and commute with.

Okay - I forked out on these after reading around a lot and here is what I have to say after using for 2 months. Sound quality is okay, so is build quality. Best thing about these headphones is their ability to pair, connect and switch between devices - seamless! The folding sides are pretty sturdy just watch out you don't whip them off your neck too often causing them to stretch unnecessarily. Case is really nice and they are great to travel with. Buttons that switch between sound modes is great. Hear-through is like something from the future although the mic's sound like they could handle better quality. The ANC is good but not as strong as BOSE etc. but then the connectivity is second to none.

Great headphones however my paid have developed a fault which renders them useless unless you're not wearing them. If you remove the headphones they'll automatically switch on, when you put them on they turn off. This is related to the sensors to turn them off when you take them off, saving battery, however you cannot disable this when it fails thereby leaving me with useless headphones. Good 3 months with them other than this though.

The sound quality and battery life are great, but from user experience point they're awful - if I happen to not use them for a few days, reconnecting them to my phone is a nightmare. I have other bluetooth earbuds and never have any issues with them.

Absolutely brilliant set of technology! From noise cancelation to voice control everything works how it should. Many things you can customize and personalize in the app for preferences and one main thing is they are mega comfy, bought for a gift now wanting a pair for myself👍 lots more I could have added but the good list would have gone on forever.

It crashes. Sometimes a phone call comes in, it crashes (Android Pixel). It crashes at other times too (latest Jabra software installed). Sometimes it whistles and screams in one ear in passthrough mode. Pressing the volume buttons squeezes the air out around your ear, so it's not smooth. Mostly it's connected to my MacBook Pro, and it can't decide whether to go into passthrough mode or not, but when in passthrough you can't change it if it's wrong. The sound quality is good, but I'm not overwhelmed. Noise cancellation is ok (when it allows you to switch it on). Battery life and charging are great. But I really hope the software improves. Would NOT recommend.
