[TheLostSwede]

Jabra, leader in personal sound and hybrid work solutions, today launched the Elite 4, the latest addition to its flagship Elite lineup. Following in the footsteps of the entry-level Elite 3, the new true wireless earbuds offer an elevated experience from its predecessor, ideal for the modern earbud user seeking advanced features at an affordable price.

The Elite 4 has been tailored to provide comfort, optimal sound and convenience. For users that need to connect to two different devices simultaneously, the Jabra Elite 4 offers Bluetooth Multipoint, facilitating smooth and stress-free switching, without skipping a beat. The initial pairing of earbuds to a device is simple, with Fast Pair connecting instantly to a mobile device and Swift Pair linking straight to a laptop or computer.




Ideal for traveling or commuting, the Active Noise Cancelation (ANC) in the earbuds filters out unwanted sounds and keeps distractions to a minimum. The Elite 4 are engineered for crystal-clear sound with 4-microphone call technology and 6 mm speakers, so users can rest assured that they will be heard loud and clear. For those seeking tailored listening experiences, the Jabra music equalizer and intuitive Sound+ app lets users customize the sound to suit their individual tastes.

The Elite 4 boasts 5.5 hours of play time, 22 hours with the sleek case and 28 hours with ANC off, all while providing all-day comfort thanks to its Danish ergonomic acoustic engineering. The earbuds are made with premium durable materials that offer an IP55 durability rating against dust and water and come in four classic colors: Dark Gray, Navy, Lilac and Light Beige.

"The modern earbud user is looking for tech that's ready for work and play at their fingertips, while not compromising on key features," said Calum MacDougall, SVP at Jabra. "The Elite 4 offers a solution to this and is the perfect well-rounded design to help users to concentrate, connect and call without distractions."

Ive had Jabra earbuds in the past. Got them off a kickstarter back in the day. They were ok. Ive recently gotten the Pixel Buds Pro and they are phenomenal. Cant say these are going to be better than those.

Ive had Jabra earbuds in the past. Got them off a kickstarter back in the day. They were ok. Ive recently gotten the Pixel Buds Pro and they are phenomenal. Cant say these are going to be better than those.

These are $50-100 cheaper though.
The Pixel Buds Pro don't support aptX, so a big advantage there for these.

Jabra used to be the gold standard for Bluetooth headsets back in the day, I used to have one of the headsets maybe 20 years ago...
I guess they still sell a version of it, except it's $300 now for some reason... I think I paid £50 or less.

I have the Elite 65T and they are very good sounding for BT ear buds, about as good as the ~$-$75-$100 wired Sony's I was using before I got these. Tonality wise they are similar to Sony but actually a little more natural (Sony's have more of a boosted bass) but the Jabra app has a really good EQ so you can tweak things. The ANC is pretty good, but struggles with wind (but I think they all do), the tips are kinda loose fitting and I've lost several when putting them into my pocket and tip falling off and going missing so hopefully they fixed that but thats it for cons.

I'd probably try Jabra again, and I'm going to have to soon as the battery on mine is finally starting to get pretty weak.

Jabra needs a new killer earbud at this point like the 75t or 85t. The 85t was a better than the product that replaced it in every way besides it's size. If the elite 4 is following the 7(looks like it is) then it's not worth it.
