A reasonably bass-forward profile with balanced mids and highs make the 85h noticeably different than Bose's headphones
And I think they're just more pleasant to listen to

The editors didn't like
Current Availability
Price (For Some)
Lack Of Support for Hi-Res Codecs
Active noise-canceling could be more pronounced
My ears get hot with extended use
The 85h have a larger battery and substantially sturdier headband than most wireless headphones
So they're pretty bulky (though I never found them uncomfortable)
$300 is a lot of dough for most people to drop on headphones
And cheaper ANC over-ears do
Only supports SBC codec
Not competitively priced

Cloth surfaces collect dust and debris, Solid audio but not outstanding, Not as good a value as the Elite 65t was
Jabra impressed us last year with a mix of quality and value on the Elite 65t. The Elite 85h is a well-built audio workhorse with amazing battery life and capable ANC, but the overall audio quality isn't as good as the Sony 1000XM3. And at $300, they're n...
Abstract: The OnePlus 7 Pro isn't necessarily a new approach for the company. Yes, it's the most expensive phone we've seen from OnePlus, but it's always aimed to make the best phone possible, charging less than the Apple, Samsung, and Huawei in the process. And in...

The ELITE 85h may not be the best looking pair of headphones in the market and they are somewhat bulky compared to what Jabra has gotten us used to over the years but after two weeks of testing we can verify that they do excel in terms of audio...

For $250, the Jabra Elite 85h deserves serious consideration as your next noise-cancelling headphones. It’s a versatile option that hits nearly every mark, from adjustable, dynamic sound to solid noise cancellation. Best-in-class battery life and a pletho...

The Jabra Elite 85h undercuts the competition with its sub-$300 price and similar noise cancelling performance. If you want premium headphones with great battery life and a water-resistant nano-coating, the Elite 85h is your best bet...
Jabra's take on the wireless noise cancellation world boasts some positives, with a look that is distinctly different from much of what's out there, and some good audio, too. It's clear and balanced, but lacks the warmth you might yearn for, providing a s...
