The Jabra Elite 5 is more of the same from Jabra, which has been putting out a lot of good but very similar products. It sounds good, feels fine, and works the same on both iOS and Android. In general, it’s fine. The earbuds on the Jabra Elite 5 are shaped like teardrops, just like the ones on the Jabra Elite 3 True Wireless. On the back of the body, there is a small logo of the company that made them.
They also stick out of your ear a little. The only colours they come in are “Titanium Black” and “Gold Beige.” These earbuds are comfortable enough. They don’t put much pressure on your ears and don’t weigh much. But they feel like a plunger, and using the physical buttons can push the buds deeper into your ears, which can get uncomfortable after a while.
Features:
- Long battery life
- Stable fit
- Good call quality
- Strong ambient listening mode
The controls on the Jabra Elite 5 are very good. Each bud has a physical button that can be pressed and pushed. Since each bud has its own controls, they are not easy to use. The HearThrough technology in the buds lets you hear sounds around you while wearing the headphones, so you can talk to someone or hear them.
You can also use the controls to turn on and off Spotify Tap, which restarts your last listening session or chooses a new playlist for you to listen to. There are no voice prompts, but when you turn the earbuds on or off, you hear a tone that tells you what you did. These earbuds are easy to carry around. Even when they are in their carrying case, they can fit easily in most pockets and bags.
Alexa and Google Assistant can now be turned on and off by voice. It was fun to wake up the AI bots by saying their wake word phrases, and the feature worked very well. The six-microphone array on the Jabra picked up every word spoken and was very clear, even when answering long-winded questions. You can turn on Google Assistant on your own by pressing the left bud twice. It also works with Siri and Bixby.
How to get Jabra Elite 5?
The Jabra Elite 5 earbuds have a nice balance, with just a little bit more emphasis on bass frequencies to give songs more power. The sound isn’t the most dynamic or open-sounding we’ve heard from a pair of earbuds, and it can sound like they’re just going through the motions instead of making music in a way that’s immersive or interesting. It’s not bad, but it’s a bit dull and average, and it seems like some frequencies in the mid-bass aren’t getting the chance to shine.
