Jabra has launched a new premium model to expand the top end of its Elite true wireless earbuds range.
The Elite 8 Active will set a new benchmark for durability and fit, as it is tested to be the world’s toughest earbuds* with military standards. Built for much more than running or sports, they are designed to be durable enough for users regardless of what they choose to do and wherever life takes them.
The Elite 8 Active buds pass all the required tests for the US Military Standard for Ruggedized Electronics (810H). That is everything from humidity and high temperature to rain and altitude. They are completely watertight when submerged up to 1.5m. They are also IP68 rated, meaning that they are fully dust and waterproof, whilst the charging case is IP54 rated to be dust and splashproof. In addition, Elite 8 Active was put through its paces with Highly Accelerated Corrosion Testing (HACT).
This requires the earbuds to pass 11 full cycles of testing, including enduring 2 hours in 40°C temperatures with 93% humidity, going through a 15-minute splash test in salt water, and surviving a 15-minute 40°C heat drying test, to successfully prove their anti-corrosion credentials. All of this whilst staying secure in the ear with the improved grip provided by Jabra ShakeGrip™ technology.
While Jabra Elite 8 Active earbuds are proud to be tough, they have not sacrificed their sound, or aesthetics. They are made to fuel workouts with incredible sound thanks to Dolby Audio, which delivers lifelike, clear sound for a longer and more comfortable listening experience.
The Adaptive Hybrid Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) automatically optimizes the ANC performance to the environment you’re in. Wind Neutralizing HearThrough™ technology also muffles any wind interference without blocking out traffic, ensuring safety without compromising on steady sound.
With 6-mic call technology and wind noise protecting mesh, stable smartwatch connectivity**, Google Assistant, Fast Pair, Swift Pair and Spotify Tap, battery life for up to 8 hours (32 hours with a case), these earbuds are just as good for working as for working out.
“For the Elite 8 Active, we meet the need for users to be confident to use their earbuds, wherever they are, from work to work-out. This is a groundbreaking innovation on the part of Jabra as we have unveiled an Elite range that has been tested to be the world’s toughest earbuds*,” said Kean Chee Yap, Country Manager, Consumer, Malaysia, Indonesia & Philippines, Jabra.
