Serving as the company\u2019s midrange pair of buds \u2014 akin to something like the older Elite 75t \u2014 these will offer up to seven hours of continuous playback with active noise cancellation turned on. They also feature multipoint Bluetooth for two simultaneous connections, IP55 dust and water resistance, and codec support that includes aptX, AAC, and SBC. <\/p>\n<p id=\"ifrvHG\">The Elite 5s contain 6mm drivers and customizable EQ. As for the design, Jabra says they\u2019ll provide \u201ca discreet, comfortable, and compact fit.\u201d The earbuds share a teardrop shape that\u2019s similar to the rest of the current Elite series and have six mics onboard for enhanced voice call performance with wind suppression. You also get bonuses like Android Fast Pair, Windows Swift Pair, plus Google Assistant and Alexa integration. <\/p>\n<p id=\"JjVi9I\">\u201cToday\u2019s fast-paced society is decreasing attention spans while increasing the potential for distraction, making it more and more difficult to zone in on what\u2019s important,\u201d said Calum MacDougall, senior vice president at Jabra. \u201cThese versatile earbuds are perfect for those who want to immerse themselves in music, are socially oriented, and virtually connected.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"sSXaxl\">I can\u2019t say I\u2019ve ever heard someone base their earbuds pitch around society\u2019s shortening attention spans, but hey. If you\u2019re a little mixed up on where Jabra\u2019s current lineup stands \u2014 this company sure makes a lot of earbuds \u2014 here\u2019s how it looks with today\u2019s addition of the Elite 5.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li id=\"cPw8HM\">Elite 7 Pro <strong>$199.99<\/strong>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"Khxwi7\">Elite 7 Active <strong>$179.99<\/strong>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"lJevnw\">Elite 5 <strong>$149.99<\/strong>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"a064f5\">Elite 4 Active <strong>$119.99<\/strong>\n<\/li>\n<li id=\"QjJAnl\">Elite 3 <strong>$79.99<\/strong>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p id=\"3WQnba\">That\u2019s a lot of products in similar pricing territory \u2014 especially when you consider how often Jabra\u2019s earbuds are on sale. Each has its selling point <a href=\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com?id=66960X1514734&#038;xs=1&#038;url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.jabra.com%2Fbluetooth-headsets%2Ftrue-wireless&#038;referrer=theverge.com&#038;sref=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.theverge.com%2F2022%2F9%2F1%2F23331888%2Fjabra-elite-5-earbuds-announced-features-price\" rel=\"sponsored nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" has-subtag=\"true\" data-cdata='{\"rewritten_url\":\"https:\/\/go.redirectingat.com?xcust=___vg__p_23095929__m_m-placeholder__s_s-placeholder__t_w__c_c-placeholder__r_r-placeholder__d_d-placeholderu0026id=66960X1514734u0026xs=1u0026url=https:\/\/www.jabra.com\/bluetooth-headsets\/true-wirelessu0026referrer=theverge.comu0026sref=https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/9\/1\/23331888\/jabra-elite-5-earbuds-announced-features-price\",\"subtag_max_length\":50,\"subtag_delim_length\":3,\"subtag_key\":\"xcust\",\"subtag_data\":{\"xcust\":\"___vg__p_23095929__m_m-placeholder__s_s-placeholder__t_w__c_c-placeholder__r_r-placeholder__d_d-placeholder\",\"id\":\"66960X1514734\",\"xs\":\"1\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.jabra.com\/bluetooth-headsets\/true-wireless\",\"referrer\":\"theverge.com\",\"sref\":\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/9\/1\/23331888\/jabra-elite-5-earbuds-announced-features-price\"},\"encode_subtag\":false}'>if you go by the company\u2019s website<\/a>: in the case of the Elite 7 Pro, that\u2019s \u201crevolutionary\u201d voice call performance, whereas the Active models focus on a secure fit and durability. And the Elite 3 buds remain <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/21309820\/best-wireless-earbuds\">our favorite pick for under $100<\/a>. <\/p>\n<p id=\"xrHau9\">It still feels a little crowded to me, but the Elite 5 earbuds do offer a nice balance of features for the price. The only question is whether they can stand out against better competition than ever before. It\u2019s hard to buy a lousy set of earbuds for over $100 these days, and that wasn\u2019t necessarily the case several years ago when Jabra was the default AirPods alternative.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><code><br \/><\/br><\/code><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/9\/1\/23331888\/jabra-elite-5-earbuds-announced-features-price\">https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2022\/9\/1\/23331888\/jabra-elite-5-earbuds-announced-features-price<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Source: At IFA 2022, Jabra is announcing the new $149 Elite 5 earbuds.
