I have a new favorite pair of earbuds. I'll walk through some detailed feedback below, but overall the 85t's sound great when I'm listening to music or watching movies and are outstanding on calls.
The Cons:
- I really like the ANC feature, I use it a lot when working (mostly from home now) and traveling. ANC on the 85t works as good or better than other earbuds I've tried, but the ANC isn't as strong as some of the high end over-ear headphones. I think by covering the whole ear (with headphones) you can block out more sound. But again, for in ear earbuds I haven't experienced better ANC. The 85t ANC is good enough for most environments, but I'll still use my ANC headphones at times like when I want to sleep on long flights.
- It's not a major issue for me, but it would be nice to have the flexibility to use either the L or R bud individually. With the 85t its only possible to use the R bud individually. Again, this isn't a major issue for me for a couple of reasons: 1, I usually use my right ear when talking on the phone anyway, and 2. in the past I've wanted to use a single bud on phone calls because of the occlusion effect (hearing yourself) with other buds. But that hasn't been an issue for me with the 85t (see below in Pros).
- I use my buds a lot for phone calls. In most environments they're outstanding, but in some noisier environments the 85t's do pick up some ambient noise and the person on the other end can hear it. For most calls (from home and other places) the call quality is great on both sides, but noisy locations can be a challenge.
The Pros:
- Call quality. As I mentioned above there are a few exceptions (really noisy environments) but I've been really impressed with the 85t. I hear the other person very clearly and I've received consistent feedback the same from their end. I really like the change they've made that makes calls sound much more natural - no more occlusion. I keep both buds in which lets me hear the other person in stereo making it easier for me to clearly hear them and my own voice sounds like I'm talking without anything in my ears.
- Sound quality. My music sounds great. With the Jabra Sound+ app I'm able to adjust the EQ and get what seems to me to be the perfect balance of bass, mid and high range. With that optimized adjustment, it seems like I can also more clearly hear the dialogue when I'm watching movies - especially during flights.
- Personalized sound. I took the hearing test during the set up process on the Jabra Sound+ app. I like that the 85t is smart enough to optimize the sound settings for my hearing profile. I also like the ability to personalize the controls. I played around with changing them. I'm not sure if my current button configuration is much different from the default, but the controls are now intuitive for me.
- Size. I can't believe how small and light the 85t's are. They are very comfortable. I've used them for hours at a time and I forget I'm wearing them.
- Hear through. I use the 85t to block out noise when I'm working or just want to relax. The hear through feature makes it easy, with the touch of a button, to become aware and clearly hear my environment; it could be my wife or kids wanting to talk to me or even the TV from across the room. Hear through almost seems to magnify the sound I want to hear while blocking out other noise. Not sure how it does that or if it's just me, but it seems like I can use the feature to zoom in and listen to a conversation.
Overall, I really like these. I'm got a pair for my wife for Christmas. She's the exerciser of the family (not me) and she likes them too

Best buds I've found!!
I've been on a long search for new buds as I was upgrading from the older beats set I've had for a few years. I started with the brand new line of beats by Dre, I returned them because the sound wasn't that great for what I was looking for focusing more on bass and lows, even with the customization options in the app, plus they were really uncomfortable!! Two other higher end brands were tested and neither was great.That Segway was necessary because that is when I stumbled across the Jabra elite 85t. These buds are the best I have ever had! Not only do they fit snuggly in my ears, but I love the more oval shaped tips. It makes a difference. It feels good. Next, I was impressed with the app and very straightforward user friendly customization options! I listen to a lot of rock and nu metal so I was more focused on a louder crisper sound, rather than heavy hitting bass, and although these buds have that too, I Love how the music sounds. I haven't found one better yet.Noise cancelling is good, but not the absolute best, ( I'd give that to the beats fit pro ) and the hear thru or "transparency" mode is pretty impressive too.Battery life is great used regularly, but obviously drops slightly faster with noise cancelling activated. Still good life though. I have mine in for much of the day, and between the actual battery ( plus the fact that the case itself holds a charge, and will fully charge your buds just over two times, which is a very cool feature. This is both USB-C chargeable And wireless compatible as well which is extremely useful, making throwing it on any wireless charger super convenient. The case is only slightly larger than a 9 volt battery, making pocketing them comfortable as well.In short, the Jabra elite 85t set is by far the best wireless ear buds I have ever had! They are comfortable, produce amazing sound quality for multiple types of music, are easy to use, and everything you would expect and more when buying buds in this price range. If you're looking for an amazing set of buds, these are the ones to get!
