Jabra Elite 7 Pro True Wireless are available on Best Buy at just $149.99 which means you can save up to $50 on these buds. Jabra equips the Elite 7 Pro with a slew of premium features at a price that undercuts the competition. Great call quality and a plethora of customization options within the Jabra Sound+ app provide a solid experience, while firmware updates alleviated the majority of our initial complaints. The Elite 7 Pros are more stylish and refined than previous Jabra buds.
The large microphone holes are gone, and the clicky button with the Jabra logo is now teardrop-shaped and covers the entire outer surface, making it easy to find with your finger. The curves of this refined design also make the earbuds easier to remove from the charging case and less prone to accidental drops when in use. The case features a USB-C port on the front, which is unusual but not a disadvantage in practice. It also has Qi wireless charging support.
The Elite 7 Pro has noise cancellation, but not in the hybrid form found in the Elite 85t, which is a combination of feedforward and feedback methods; instead, you get feedforward ANC, which only blocks sound from passing through. While this may be cause for concern given the Elite 7 Pro’s proximity to some very capable hybrid ANC earphones, I believe Jabra’s decision is ultimately sound. It only takes a few seconds to pair these, and once done, they connect automatically (to either my laptop or phone).
You have a simple two-button setup, one on each bud, and each button allows you to perform three functions with multiple presses. There are some non-programmable functions that you cannot change, such as when you hold down the right button, the volume goes up, and when you hold down the left button, the volume goes down.
The Elite 75t had incredibly powerful bass for such small earbuds, so much so that the low end trampled on the midranges.
To control it, you had to go into the EQ settings. The Elite Active 75t had a milder bass response but was not as clear. The Elite 7 Pro achieves the best of both worlds, with a much more controlled and deeply resonant low end. Jabra claims eight hours of battery life. They have a quick charge feature that gives you an hour of use in five minutes, so if you’re on a long ride and run out of juice, it’s not the end of the world. The case charges the earbuds for up to 30 hours, and consistent use over a few days may result in charging the case about once per week.
