Jabra Elite 3

The Jabra Elite 3 get the basics right and are super comfortable but fall behind some rivals when it comes to advanced features.

Jabra's entry into the affordable end of the market makes some cuts, but results in a fuss-free pair of headphones that get the basics right. It's easy to miss the advanced functions and you undoubtedly get more if you can spend more, but the fundamendals are met here.

The Jabra Elite 3 tick all the right boxes when it comes to sound, design and features. They lack a handful of features found on Jabra’s more premium earbuds, but for less than £80, it’s tough to argue with the Elite 3.

The Jabra Elite 3 are Jabra's first true wireless earbuds in this price range. They lack some refinement and some key standout features, but they're dependable and still offer much of what most users will need.

As I walk around the city and look at commuters on the train, it seems that Apple's AirPods are the default for wireless earbuds. Don't always settle for Apple's latest as it often comes with a premium price, and its products aren't always the best....

As the company’s first earbuds coming in under the $100 mark, the Jabra Elite 3s managed to impress me with their well-considered mix of sound quality, steadfast performance, easy controls, decent call quality, and lengthy battery life. There are other features you might want for one reason or another, but I can’t think of much else I’d really need for this kind of money.

The Jabra Elite 3 undercuts the competition with versatile audio, great call quality, and select features for just $79.
