In 2000, Jabra was acquired by GN Netcom A/S as a wholly owned subsidiary. Founded in 1869, GN has launched the world's first Bluetooth mobile headset and the first Bluetooth 2.0 headset, and has a deep technical accumulation in Bluetooth technology.
 
Jabra's sports headphones are the most valuable to buy with its Elite Active 65t, Elite 65t and Elite Sport split Bluetooth headphones, which are also the most recommended by the media and review agencies. The Elite Active 65t tied for first place in its class with a score of 76 in Consumer Reports, and The Wirecutter also voted it the champion of wireless sports headphones and second in CNET's 2018 Best Sports Headphones of the Year.
 
Priced at 1,399 RMB, the Elite Active 65t is a strong feature of The Wirecutter for its secure fit, and it doesn't use fixations such as shark fins or earhooks. Although the Elite Active 65t integrates a miniature motion sensor, it only supports the step counting function, which is a bit of a frustration. With an IP56 rating and a battery life of 5 hours per session (the case provides an additional 10 hours of power), it ranks among the best in the same category. The Elite Active 65t doesn't support aptX or AAC Bluetooth encoding, but the sound quality is also pretty good, with detailed highs, clear midrange vocals, and bouncy lows. Of course, if this is not your preferred sound style, you can also adjust the equalizer in the mobile app. As a split Bluetooth headset, its Bluetooth version is the latest 5.0, and the signal transmission is more stable.
 
The other two split Bluetooth headsets, Elite 65t and Elite Sport, have the strongest sporty attributes of Elite Sport, which Jabra defines as professional training headphones. The Elite Sport features a shark fin for enhanced fit, up to IP67 protection, oxygen uptake, heart rate monitoring, and voice guidance. However, its single battery life is shorter than that of Elite Active 65t, which is 4.5 hours (the storage box provides an additional 9 hours of power), and the Bluetooth version is also lower 4.1, with an adjustable equalizer, connection stability and sound quality are slightly worse, and the price is 1998 yuan. The Elite 65t can be regarded as a simplified version of the Elite Active 65t, removing the step counting function, the protection level is reduced to IP55, but the ambient sound mode is added to ensure safety, and other aspects are consistent with the latter, priced at 1199 yuan.
 
If you're concerned about the connection stability of your split Bluetooth headphones, you can opt for the Sport Pulse. The headset is a classic model of Jabra sports headphones, which was launched in 2014 and is still on sale today, and is listed as the best running headset by Trusted Reviews, priced at 1599 yuan. The Sport Pulse is a rear-mount fit, with a shark fin in place and 3 pairs of COMPLY foam ear tips. As its name suggests, the Sport Pulse has a heart rate monitoring feature that can be viewed via a mobile app, as well as voice guidance. The Sport Pulse is IP55 rated and has a battery life of 5 hours, which is not very competitive today. While it doesn't support aptX or AAC Bluetooth encoding, Trusted Reviews found the sound quality to be good, with deep bass and plenty of detail and clarity overall.
 
Jabra has made great achievements in split Bluetooth headsets, and there is no shortage of classic products in the rear pendant, but in recent years, collar-type Bluetooth headsets have gradually become mainstream. Collar-style headphones can make full use of the volume of the collar and put all components such as batteries, Bluetooth chips, and antennas into it, which greatly reduces the weight on the ears and is stronger in terms of battery life and active noise cancellation. As a result, Jabra has also followed the trend with the introduction of collar-style products.
 
Elite 65e/45e/25e is Jabra's three-necklace sports Bluetooth headset, the larger the number, the higher the positioning, all support IP54 dust and water resistance, and can be connected to 2 devices at the same time, and the hard collar model has an additional call vibration function. The Elite 65e features a hard collar structure, a shark fin, active noise cancellation, and an adjustable equalizer; The Elite 45e removes the noise reduction function of the 65e and uses a soft collar, which is otherwise the same as the 65e; The Elite 25e is a further stripped-down version of the 65e, differing that its Bluetooth version is 4.1, doesn't come with shark fins, a non-adjustable equalizer, and no noise cancellation. The prices of these three headphones are 1599 yuan, 649 yuan and 599 yuan respectively.
