Jabra Elite 5 review

 

Small is partially beautiful

Small, light and comfortable ; Impressive specification ; Even, balanced sound

Not all that dynamic or expressive a listen ; Active noise-cancellation is nothing special

There are worse things to be than ‘polite’ – but where music’s concerned, there are better things too

Jabra Elite 5 review – Comfort on call

 

The Jabra Elite 5 offers excellent sound quality for both calls and music playback, with strong ANC performance

Superb sound quality for both audio listening and calls ; Excellent ANC performance ; Intuitive controls (physical button!) ; Smart assistant and Spotify Tap functionality ; IP55 sweat and water-resistant

Adjustable ANC feels pointless

It's hard to find anything to criticise about the Jabra Elite 5, as these true wireless headphones have superb sound quality for both audio listening and calls. The hybrid ANC is pretty darn good, albeit ANC customisation is less useful than it sounds....

Jabra Elite 5 review: all about ANC

 

They're comfortable and capable - but is that enough for the Jabra Elite 5 to make a splash amongst tough competition?

Energetic yet detailed sound signature ; Decent battery life and convenient wireless charging ; Extensive in-app customisation

ANC could be stronger ; Adds to an already bulging earphone range

Fitness-friendly true wireless in-ears with decent (if not class-leading) ANC and solid sound, but the Elite 5 feels a little lost in Jabra’s extensive line-up.

The Jabra Elite 5 has some great features such a wireless charging support and Alexa voice assistant. But what's the sound quality like and how comfortable are they in-ear? Find out in our full review.

The Jabra Elite 5 earbuds are essentially flawless

 

We went searching for problems with the Jabra Elite 5 and simply couldn't find any. For $150, they're as close to a no-brainer purchase as you're likely to get.

Small and comfy Very good sound quality Very good ANC/transparency Custom controls and EQ Hands-free voice assistants Excellent call quality Very good battery life

Not the best sound for this price

“For their price, they offer an unbeatable set of features.”

Jabra Elite 5 Review

 

Rich, crisp audio with effective EQ ; Quality noise cancellation for the price ; Customizable controls ; Resistant to water and dust ; Hands-free Alexa support

Push-button controls won't appeal to everyone ; Jabra offers better options for just slightly more money

Jabra's true wireless Elite 5 earphones sit comfortably in the middle of the company's lineup with good sound quality and effective noise cancellation, though they don't quite stand out.

Jabra Elite 5 review

 

Another quality mid-ranger with disappointing noise cancellation

Great audio quality ; Compact and chic ; Lots of customization via Jabra Sound+ app ; Robust connectivity ; HearThrough is still one of the best transparency modes

ANC not as good as other Elite models ; Digital assistant and wear detection need work ; Button design affects comfort ; Missing some high-end Jabra features

Great sound, connectivity, and features provide the Jabra Elite 5 strong selling points, but its weak ANC is concerning for the price.

Jabra Elite 5

 

Jabra focused on the total package with its Elite 5 earbuds, balancing a wide range of features with solid audio quality.

Outstanding user interface ; Physical buttons on earbuds are a pleasure to use ; ANC is effective without going overboard

Good but not great sound quality

Jabra’s affordable, smartly designed, and feature-packed Elite 5 ANC earbuds will appeal to a wide range of casual listeners, but audiophiles purely interested in the best sound should look elsewhere.

Jabra Elite 5 review: Perfect balance of price and features

 

Jabra continues to fill out its lineup of compelling earbuds. After a week with the Jabra Elite 5, I've found my new favorite.

Extremely comfortable and secure fit ; Reliable big physical buttons ; Long battery life ; Wireless charging case ; Solid call quality ; aptX support

ANC is very subtle

The Jabra Elite 7 Pro received a software update to address a couple of the issues I had before with that model and I also see the price for them is currently down to $129.99, a $70 reduction. The Elite 7 Pro fit a bit differently than the Elite 5 and...
