IFA 2023: Jabra announces Elite headsets with focus on durability and spatial audio


Jabra Elite 8 Active uses maximum strength certifications for high durability, while Elite 10 prioritizes comfort, ANC and immersive spatial audio

Rated as “the world’s toughest headphones” by the manufacturer, the Elite 8 Active are distinguished by US military standard certification (MIL-STD-810H) for extreme temperature and drop conditions, IP68 for protection against water and dust, as well as Accelerated High Corrosion Test (HACT) over 11 complete cycles.

In this way, the accessory is able to withstand up to 2 hours in temperatures of 40ÂşC with 93% humidity, surviving up to 15 minutes in temperatures of 40ÂşC in dry environments and up to 15 minutes under salt water spray.

The charging case is not left out as it is certified with the IP54 standard against dust particles and water drops.

 

Jabra ensures that the high durability of the Elite 8 Active doesn’t sacrifice its sound, as the headphones support Dolby Atmos spatial sound and Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) that automatically adjusts performance based on the environment.

Another highlight is Jabra’s developed wind neutralization technology in transparency mode, which minimizes wind noise interference without blocking traffic noise.

With 6 microphones protected by durable mesh, the headphones promise stable connectivity with smartwatches, support for Google Assistant, Android fast pairing and quick switching, as well as Spotify Tap.

The Elite 8 Active headphones offer up to 8 hours of music playback and up to 32 hours of combined use with the charging case.

With a focus on sonic performance and maximum comfort for long-term use, the Elite 10 debuts a powerful ANC that automatically adjusts for loud and quiet environments.

The model features ComfortFit technology with a partially open design that relieves pressure in the ear and allows you to use the model for a longer time without tiring your ears.

With support for Dolby Atmos spatial audio and Dolby Head Tracking head tracking, the headphones offer superior sonic immersion, allowing you to spatially fix instruments and sound effects in music or movies.

With IP57 protection against water and dust, the earphones support up to 6 hours of battery life during music playback and up to 27 hours in combined use with the charging case (estimated with ANC enabled).
