In-Depth Review
The Jabra Elite 4 punch far above their $79 price tag. Active noise cancellation on a sub-$100 earbud sounds like a gimmick, but Jabra has delivered a genuinely useful ANC implementation that noticeably reduces background noise in offices and coffee shops. The 6mm drivers produce a balanced sound signature with clear mids and decent bass — not audiophile quality, but impressive for the price. Multipoint Bluetooth lets you connect to two devices simultaneously, a feature often reserved for premium earbuds. Jabra's HearThrough transparency mode is adjustable from 0 to 100%, giving you fine-grained control over how much ambient sound passes through. The compact IP55-rated case charges via USB-C. Call quality is solid with 4 microphones and wind noise reduction. The main limitations are battery life (5.5 hours with ANC, shorter than premium rivals) and the lack of wireless charging. But for $79, the Elite 4 offer more features than earbuds twice the price.
