Title: Jabra Elite 5 review - TWS headphones with aptX and long runtimes
Post by: Redaktion on June 17, 2023, 14:58:52
The Jabra Elite 5 headphones want to convince with strong sound, good endurance, and hybrid active noise cancellation. The telephony should not be neglected and can rely on six microphones. Find out what else the Jabra headphones have to offer in our review.

No one ever even talks about how these earbuds perform over long run. QC on Jabras is so bad, that after a long run, even past a year, Jabras lineup
of TWS give all sorts of connection and reliability issues. This doesn't happen with Apple's AirPods and Beats lineup; you don't get to see people complaining every given day on Jabra's subReddit, where every now and then people relay their frustration on how these aren't reliable on long run (not just the Elite 5, but Elite 7 and other TWS in their current lineup).

Is it not?

Samsung Galaxy Buds 2 are officially rated at 5 hours and they indeed deliver exactly that +- 5 minutes.

Apple AirPods Pro (2nd gen) are rated at 6 hours officially and they last 5 hour 45-ish minutes with ANC on.

So this here is pretty good.

I'm not sure about Reddit, but the only reason I haven't bought in-ear headphones recently is because I've had the Jabra 85s for over 5 years, used almost everyday on my commute, and they are still going strong despite how I treat them.

The one I currently have (Tozo NC7) last 10.5 hours.
