Features

Furthermore, there are three microphone setups inside each bud. This enables hybrid active noise cancellation, which, according to Jabra, is less sensitive to how the buds are positioned in your ears. That means improved noise cancellation on both calls and music. In addition, there is a HearThrough mode that allows for ambient noises. The Elite 5 includes 6mm audio drivers that support SBC, AAC, and Qualcomm aptX codecs. All this is powered by Qualcomm QCC3050 Bluetooth SOC. There’s also support for Spotify Tap that effortlessly lets you listen to your favorite music with a single tap. You can connect the earphone to your phone using the Jabra Sound+ app. Google Fast Pair and multipoint Bluetooth 5.2 connectivity are also supported. In addition, the Jabra Elite 5 supports voice commands with Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant.

Battery

The wireless earbuds have a battery life of 9 hours with ANC turned off. It is reduced to 7 hours when ANC is enabled. In contrast, when combined with the case, the Elite 5 can provide up to 36 hours and up to 28 hours of playback, respectively. It takes about 180 minutes to charge the buds. Whereas Jabra claims that 10 minutes of charging time will provide one hour of music playback. It also supports wireless charging, by the way.
