Jabra’s Elite 85h headphones are available for $150 on Amazon once again, giving you another chance to grab them at the price if you weren’t able to last month. We praised the wireless headphones for offering active noise cancellation that rivals the technologies used by Bose and Sony and gave it a score of 84 in our review. The device was priced at $300 upon launch in 2019, which we felt was a bit too high for what it can do. Amazon has been selling it for $174 after its sale in July, but now it’s back down to its lowest price on the website.
Buy Jabra Elite 85h Wireless Noise-Canceling Headphones at Amazon – $150
To be clear, only the Titanium Black version is on sale for $150 on Jabra’s official store on Amazon, while the rest will cost you a bit more. If you don’t mind the lack of color options, though, one of the best features we liked about the headphones is their insane battery life that can last up for to 41 hours with noise cancelation turned off. During our tests, we used the Elite 85h for around two to three hours a day for seven days and still had 85 percent of power left by the time we were done.
We also liked that it has EQ and noise-cancellation presets you can choose from based on your environment. You can have different settings for use in public and in private, and you don’t even have to manually switch between them. The headphones have the ability to analyze noise, so they can detect your location and switch to the appropriate profile.
In addition, we praised the headphones for having simple controls and a better design than some of their rivals. We noted in our review that Sony’s 1000XM3 has better sound quality, but that device will set you back $100 more on Amazon right now.
