Jabra Elite 5 Unleashed
By Shawn Chung - Singapore
Announced at the 2022 IFA on the 1st of September 2022, Danish wireless audio brand Jabra has globally released its new ‘mid-range hero’ ANC wireless earbuds, the Elite 5.
Positioned between the premium Elite 7 & Elite 7 Active and the mass market Elite 4 Active, the Elite 7 has been designed to provide a comfortable and secure fit for long duration wear, so that you can enjoy your music and answer calls anywhere and everywhere, while a new Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC), powered by the Qualcomm QCC3050 Bluetooth Chipset, uses a 6-microphone array including feedback microphones on the inside of the ear, and feedforward microphones on the outside to create an ANC performance that is less sensitive to how you position the buds in the ear and it ensures a more reliable noise cancellation across a wider range of frequencies.
For those seeking a sleek and portable earbud design, the Elite 5 earbuds offer a discreet, comfortable, and compact fit, and they connect seamlessly to a wide range of devices and apps thanks to support of Bluetooth Multipoint, Google Fast Pair, Microsoft Swift pair, Google Assistant, and Alexa Built-In activated through voice.
These earbuds are designed to handle the knocks and spills of everyday life, with IP55 dust and water resistance,while 7 hours of playtime with ANC on (up to 28 hours with wireless charging case), 6mm audio drivers, customizable EQ and Spotify Tap Playback, makes it easy to immerse yourself in your music.
Calum MacDougall, SVP at Jabra, said: “Today’s fast-paced society is decreasing attention spans whilst increasing the potential for distraction, making it more and more difficult to zone in on what’s important. Jabra understands this need and has engineered the Jabra Elite 5, offering the chance to truly focus, connect and call with a clear mind. This all-rounder is perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in music, are socially oriented and virtually connected.”
