For years, Jabra has been launching audio devices that have become renowned for their distinctive sound and build quality, along with the various useful features. Therefore, it is not surprising that the Jabra Elite 10 proves to be yet another model that checks all the right boxes.
Design and Build
The Jabra Elite 10 is available in four colors, which are Titanium or Matte Black, Gloss Black, Cream and Cocoa. They come with a distinctive design as opposed to the previous flagship earbuds. The casing of each bud of the Jabra Elite 10 come with a silicone cover for protecting them and giving them a textured feel for improving their grip in your hand.
It is also important to note that they are also very comfortable because of their silicone tips that are well-designed. When you insert the earbuds into your ear, they are able to fit easily and can stay in without requiring any additional hooks or wings. You will not feel any discomfort, even when using them for extended periods of time.
The case of the Jabra Elite 10 is also thin and lightweight enough for accommodating the two buds, along with a long-lasting battery. The case fits in the hand and you can open it and remove the buds easily.
Smart Features
The Jabra Elite 10 have a quick setup like the previous earbuds from Jabra. You can use the Jabra Sound+ app, which is available for both Android and iOS, for unlocking more features in order to use the full capabilities of the earbuds. The app allows you to make adjustments to the EQ settings, fine-tune the advanced ANC and configure the various button functions.
You can mix and match the sounds via the EQ settings as per your preference and you can also choose from one of the six audio presets that are predefined. These are Speech, Treble Boost, Neutral, Smooth, Energise and Bass Boost.
The app is also compatible with Siri on iOS and Google Assistant on Android and also comes with support for Spotify Tap.
Sound Quality
There are 10mm drivers on the Jabra Elite 10 and they support SBC and AAC codecs for audio. Even though the earbuds do not have premium codecs, they do have impressive overall audio quality. In addition, they also come with Dolby Atmos, both with and without Head Tracking. The Advanced ANC of the earbuds is extremely effective and you will not feel any uncomfortable pressure.
But, it does have a slight impact on the audio quality, so it should not be used all the time. It also offers a decent pass-through feature, but the call quality can sometimes be unreliable. The headphones are able to cope with regular video calls and normal phone calls.
The Verdict
The Jabra Elite 10 earbuds are available for a price tag of $249.99 and their overall performance appears to align with it. The advanced sound quality and ANC are great and their excellent battery life, audio performance, comfort and build quality ensure that they are able to deliver a flagship experience.
