The speaker highlights that all three models have compact and easy-to-handle cases, although Jabra’s cases are larger compared to AirPods but still comparable to other brands like Galaxy Buds and Sony WF-1000XM4. Battery life for the Elite 85T is notable, with 25 hours of use including active noise cancellation, and up to 31 hours without it. Comparatively, the Jabra Elite 3’s battery life is briefly noted but not detailed.

In this part of the video, the speaker compares the battery life, charging features, fit, and connectivity of three Jabra earbuds models: the Elite 3, Elite 7 Pro, and Elite 85T. The Elite 3 has a combined battery life of 28 hours without active noise cancellation and charges via USB-C but lacks wireless charging. The Elite 7 Pro offers 30 hours with noise cancellation, charges wirelessly or via USB-C, and its battery life can extend if noise cancellation is turned off. The Elite 85T’s also charge wirelessly and have a different, more comfortable shallow fit compared to the other models. For connectivity, the Elite 3 and Elite 7 Pro allow each earbud to connect independently to a phone, unlike the 85T’s which use a primary-secondary earbud setup.

In this part of the video, the speaker explains how the connection system of earbuds works, highlighting that some use a primary (“hero”) earbud to connect to the phone and relay the connection to the secondary (“sidekick”) earbud. The Jabra earbuds mentioned can simultaneously connect to two devices, which is convenient for users needing to switch between devices like an Android phone and an iPad. Although the Jabra Elite 3 and Elite 7 Pro earbuds currently connect to only one device at a time, a firmware update in early 2022 is expected to give the Elite 7 Pro Bluetooth Multipoint connectivity. The Elite 3 will not receive this upgrade. Performance-wise, all these earbuds offer zero latency for media playback across both iPhone and Android devices. Interestingly, codec support varies: the Elite 7 Pro and Elite 85T support SBC and AAC, while the Elite 3 supports SBC and APTX. For audio quality, Jabra earbuds are known for a warmer sound with strong bass, with the Elite 85T offering slightly stronger bass and less tinny treble compared to the Elite 3.

In this part of the video, the speaker compares the Jabra Elite 85T, Elite 3, and Elite 7 Pro earbuds. They highlight that while the Elite 85T offers superior bass and treble clarity over the Elite 3, the Elite 3 lacks customizable EQ settings and proximity sensors, unlike the Elite 85T and Elite 7 Pro. The Elite 7 Pro is praised for its balanced sound, with more pronounced midranges and better-controlled bass. All three earbuds feature physical buttons for media control, a preference for some users over touch pads. The speaker notes the absence of active noise cancellation and proximity sensors in the Elite 3, positioning it as an entry-level model. The Elite 85T and Elite 7 Pro are commended for their effective active noise cancellation, although not as powerful as over-ear ANC headphones like the Bose NC 700 and Sony 1000XM4.

In this segment of the video, the speaker reviews and compares various earbuds with a focus on active noise cancellation and ambient modes. The Jabra Elite 85T’s are highly recommended for their noise cancellation and comfort, outperforming other models like the AirPods Pro and Sennheiser Momentum 2’s, among others. The ambient mode on the Elite 85T’s is praised for its natural sound, while the Elite 7 Pro’s ambient mode is noted to not be as effective. The Elite 3’s ambient mode is criticized for being too quiet, but it is preferred over the Elite 7 Pro’s for not amplifying noise pollution. The microphone quality of Jabra’s earbuds is considered adequate, with the Elite 7 Pro’s excelling in voice focus, while the Elite 3’s sound brighter. The Elite 3’s are noted for doing the best job in blocking out ambient noise while maintaining voice clarity.

In this segment of the video, the speaker compares the microphone performance and noise handling abilities of different Jabra earbuds, namely the Elite 3, Elite 7 Pro, and Elite 85T. The Elite 7 Pro and Elite 85T attempt to block out road noise and chatter but produce interference, making the speaker’s voice less clear. The Elite 3, while letting in some chatter, does the best job of making the speaker’s voice understandable, especially in noisy environments. The speaker suggests that, for phone calls in noisy settings, the Elite 3 might be the best choice.

Further, the speaker provides a breakdown of these Jabra earbuds:
– The Elite 3 is recommended as a solid entry-level option with a small case, 28-hour battery life, ambient mode, and decent microphone.
– The Elite 85T is highlighted for its superior active noise cancellation and comfort, comparable to Sony WF-1000XM4’s.
– The Elite 7 Pro is praised for balanced sound and premium features, though its ambient mode could be improved.
