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

32 hour battery life, Four different colours, USB-C charging
Feel heavier than the Sony's, Need more convincing on audio quality
There's no doubt that the wireless noise cancelling headphone market is an embarrassment of riches right now, with one model, the aforementioned Sony WH-1000XM3 having dominated since their release at the end of 2018 and then there's the formidable Bose Q...
Long-lasting battery life, Custom sound profiles and equaliser modes, Accurate representation of high frequencies
Bass could be a little punchier, Hear Through feature not perfect, Significantly heavier than competitors
The Jabra Elite 85H boasts exceptional battery life, great design and is a worthy contender in the category of wireless ANC headphones. Despite sometimes underwhelming bass and lack of support for high-end codecs, the Jabra Elite 85H are a great pair of c...
Jabra's Elite 85h is a well-designed headset with some great features. Sadly, it's not competitive enough with the Sonys and Boses of this world to be worth recommending...
Good sound quality, Excellent battery life, Bluetooth 5.0, Premium and sturdy build, USB-C,
No aptX support, Bass sometimes distorts at high volumes, ANC is not at par with competitors like Sony's WH-1000XM3
The Jabra Elite 85h are a pair of really impressive Bluetooth headphones with Active Noise Cancellation. However, at Rs. 28,999 they compete directly with Sony's industry leading WH-1000XM3 and they can't really compete against them. Other than the Blueto...
There's very little wrong with the Jabra Elite 85h as a premium over-the-ear headphones except one thing: its price. At Rs 28,990, it falls short on the audio quality when compared to its rivals. If Jabra had priced it slightly lesser then it would have h...

Excellent design and features, Very comfortable, Top-notch battery life, Good sound quality and active noise cancellation, Class-leading voice call quality, Good app to customise features
Expensive for what's on offer, No aptX, AAC Bluetooth codec support,
The Jabra Elite 85h is a very good pair of headphones, but it isn't quite the best in its segment. The design is excellent, battery life is top-notch, and some features such as the unique power mechanism and app-based controls are interesting, but this de...
Abstract: For many years, active noise cancelling was the fiefdom of Bose headphones. Over the past couple of years, however, there have been many challengers to this monopoly of sorts, notable Sony and Sennheiser. The latest to take a shot at active noise cancella...
If you observe, I haven't said a word about battery life just yet because it is great. Jabra rates Elite 85h to last 36 hours on a single charge with ANC enabled and honestly, I haven't been able to test it. I would have easily listened to these for more...
Priced at RM1349, it's quite a competitive price for a noise cancelling wireless headphones compared to other well-known brands out on the market, the Jabra Elite 85H definitely packs a punch. While it was created for users who commute and travel a lot, I...
