Always prolific in the field of true wireless earphones, Jabra is starting this fall 2022 with the Elite 5: a model that does not surprise, but is nevertheless serious and solid in many aspects.
Good in everything, they excel (almost) in nothing: the formula perfectly characterizes what the Elite 5 offer. most expensive models on the market. Except for this, they are limited to doing their job well in all other areas. If you are looking for a complete and versatile pair of true wireless headphones at a “moderate” price, the Elite 5 could therefore satisfy you… provided of course that you support the in-ear headphones.
Strong points
- Beautiful general sound reproduction, versatile and clear (after equalization).
- Good respect for dynamics, good stereo reproduction.
- Very intuitive and pleasant to use, many useful features (including multipoint).
- Neat and robust earphone design (IP55 certification).
- Solid autonomy (8 hours with RBA).
Weak points
- Perfectible restitution of treble (limited extension, slight lack of hairline).
- Action of active noise reduction too localized, insulation could be improved.
- In-ear design that can cleave.
NB: The reported price drop is calculated by comparing the lowest price of the day with the average of the lowest prices charged by all merchants for the product last month, with security rules to exclude prices from shops whose the VAT policy is not clear (known as “grey” shops, typically in the case of imports from China).
Alternatively
With its Galaxy Buds Pro, Samsung finally raises its level of play in the field of headphones true-wireless. Only a few small defects in terms of audio reproduction deprive them of their 5th star. However, we have no trouble recommending them, especially to users of Samsung Galaxy smartphones, with which the Buds Pro will express their full potential from a functional point of view.
